#2Microsoft should scrap Windows Phone and buy into a joint venture with Samsung - Bada Bing!

#3Wonder whether Bada manages to avoid what Japan's carrier-owned MOAP and KCP platforms had become- once dominant in its home country, yet never managing to break outside and rapidly losing out to platforms that did attain global adoption.

#4Microsoft would probably sell more of them if there were some decent phones on carriers besides AT&T. Last time I got a new phone, I wanted to go Windows Phone 7, but I'm sure as hell not switching to AT&T from Verizon for it.

#5Equally valid headline: "Windows Phone and Android are the only mobile operating systems with year over year growth" http://www.asymco.com/2012/08/15/american-exceptionalism/

In Germany Bada phones are quite popular, you see a lot of people with Wave models.

The article clearly states Windows Phone's growth was slower than Bada's, so how can you say Android and WP are the "only" mobile operating systems with YoY growth?
Plus, you should never trust Aymco's data. The charts look pretty and as if "they make sense", but the truth is they are always misleading in some way, from what I've noticed, much like Net Marketshare's charts on mobile browsers' "market share", which show iOS at 50% or 60% and Android at 20%, even though there are now about 400 million devices for both Android and iOS, so about equal in market share.

What's totally bizarre to me is that the Wave 3 is a really nice handset on the outside. It's made of out metal and glass, rather than the somewhat cheap-feeling plastic on the Galaxy series. Why some of the hardware choices on the Wave couldn't come over to Samsung's Android range is beyond me.

#9Samsung is the biggest cellphone maker in the world and they put Bada on a lot of their phones and 95% of the owners of these phones don't know what Bada is. This makes total sense numberwise, but doesn't say anything about Bada's popularity. It's totally like Symbian was the biggest "smartphone" OS just a couple of years ago, just because Nokia was the biggest cellphone maker. Guess how many Nokia owners knew the word Symbian back then?
