Leaked Bada OS 1.2 Brings Trace Keyboard Input To The Samsung Wave S8500

If you’re using the old Samsung Wave S8500 and want in on the keyboard-tracing fun, a leaked build of bada OS 1.2 (S8500XXJID) has surfaced that seems to bring keyboard-tracing input to the device. The input method is claimed to be from Swype, though some folks speculate that it may be Nuance’s T9 Trace instead. Still, regardless of which system it is, the ability to use a Swype-like input would be great. Other changes in this firmware include a new USB icon and performance improvements on the phone’s user interface and browser performance. The firmware is designed for the European version of the phone, so you might want to tread with caution if you plan on installing it.
