Samsung Bada phone to be announced first half of next year

We're still not entirely sure why Samsung feels the need to launch its own mobile operating system while still cranking out Android and Windows Mobile devices, but it seems like things are going full steam ahead: a spokesperson told CNET Asia today that a Bada phone would arrive in the first half of 2010. Sure, that sounds like a long time off, but really it's just six months after the big Bada SDK reveal in December, so we'll have to see if that's enough time for developers to sort things out and release any apps.

As soon as the first device with Bada ships, Samsung is going to drop Symbian and Windows Mobile. Remember back when WebOS was introduced, how Palm said there were going to continue support Windows Mobile for business customers? What happened to WinMo-powered Treos?
