Samsung bumps up the screen size with new Bada-based Wave II

Samsung is continuing to roll out the Bada-powered mobile phones in Europe with the announcement of the new Wave II.

Following up the Wave S8500 that launched earlier this year, the Wave II continues many of the traditions seen on the first handset. That would include a 1Ghz processor, 5-megapixel camera, HSDPA support and most other specs.

The only big news seems to be the slightly larger 3.7-inch Super Clear LCD touchscreen, up from the previous 3.3-inch version, plus a Trace virtual QWERTY keyboard.

The Samsung Wave II will make its way to at least Germany this November €429 ($587).
