Samsung Wave 2 and Wave 2 Pro have just been officially introduced in Germany starting this week. Both devices have been launched in Russia at the beginning of last week for a retail price of $300 USD, and $331 USD respectively. Announcements in other countries seem imminent, as we've seen Russia and Germany receiving the handsets in just a few days.

For those that missed the Russian announcement here are the highlights of the two Samsung Bada phones.

Samsung Wave 2 (525) is running Samsung's Bada operating system and comes with a 3.2-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 262K colors (240 x 400 pixels resolution). The handset has a sleek bar form factor and measures 109.5 x 55 x 11.7 mm. It includes TouchWiz UI 3.0, accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, 80 MB internal memory, microSD (up to 16GB), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, GPS with A-GPS support, Music player with SoundAlive, Stereo FM radio with RDS and FM recording function, Dolphin Browser, as well as 3-megapixel camera.

Samsung Wave 2 Pro (533) comes with the same Bada operating system and 3.2-inch TFT capacitive touchscreen with 262K colors (240 x 400 pixels resolution). The phone is a side-slider with full QWERTY keyboard. Other key features include, TouchWiz UI 3.0, accelerometer sensor for UI auto-rotate, 80 MB internal memory, microSD (up to 16GB), Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, GPS with A-GPS support, Music player with SoundAlive, Stereo FM radio with RDS and FM recording function, as well as 3-megapixel camera.

Both phones will be available in Germany starting this month for around 299 Euros (aprox. $390 USD), which is quite higher than the Russian price.

German fans of the brand will also receive a special offer from the Korean manufacturer, as all users that are registering with the new Samsung Apps service until 18th August get a voucher worth of 10 Euros.
