Android Gets Ported Onto Samsung Wave S8500

The original Samsung Wave was a total VFM (Value-For-Money) phone. The handset shared the same internals as the Android powered Galaxy S, including the display albeit of a smaller size at 3.3-inches. The Wave was the first phone from Samsung to run its own home-made OS – Bada.

Now, more than a year after its release the folks over at XDA Developers have managed to get Android 2.2 (FroYo) up and running on the Bada powered Samsung Wave. The developers have managed to get Android 2.2 to boot on the Wave.Most of the stuffs don’t work. The overall performance is slow, but the build is very stable.
