Just in case you missed it, on the 1st of September we let the world know about the next member of the Wave Family, the stylin' Wave 723 (Model: GT-S7230E), the latest Samsung bada smart phone.

The Wave 723 combines a crystal clear 3.2-inch TFT-LCD display with an app friendly  interface for quick and easy access to all those apps you want at your fingertips. The Social Hub allows you to store all contacts from your email, facebook and phonebook to one central address book, making contacting your friends quick and easy. The Wave 723 also features the latest Wi-Fi technology (802.11 b/g/n), that delivers fast download speeds and a simplified downloading process

In the real world, they will all be the same size...

The Wave 723 has easy and direct access to the Samsung Apps store for a world of rich, entertainment, including games, e-books, lifestyle and social networking apps. All apps can be downloaded anytime, anywhere via the application store at superfast speed, so you can check weather, news, sports or social networking at the touch of a button.

The Samsung bada platform allows for open development of all kinds of apps. The Samsung Wave 723 is developed based on the bada SDK 1.1, with 1.1 Auto-UI scaling meaning developers can reproduce applications to work on Wave 723 from already developed bada applications, with minimum effort.

It’s also the latest handset to support our open platform, bada, which gives developers new opportunities for the creation of apps.”
