Samsung's Wave not coming later this month

The Samsung Wave phone, the first to use the Korean's Bada platform, will not be landing in the UK later this month.

Samsung has contacted TechRadar to rubbish claims by third party online retailers that they will be stocking the phone in the next few weeks.

A Samsung spokesperson said; "We are delighted to see so much excitement and interest in the Samsung Wave, which will be the first mobile handset released on Samsung's new open mobile platform, Samsung Bada."

Looking forward

"The Samsung Wave is not currently available for sale in the UK, but we look forward to its launch in June 2010, at which time details of tariffs and stockists will be released by our operator partners," they added.

The new phone also boasts some nice specs in the shape of HD video recording, DivX compatibility and a Super AMOLED screen.

So, looks like the UK release date has been pushed back to June - lets just hope that date doesn't head even further into summer so we can properly test that new screen in direct sunlight.
