The Samsung Wave 723 - As Good As The Original?

The Samsung Wave 723 is a newer model as compared to the original Wave model.  Both phones run the Bada operating system which is an alternative to the more mainstream operating systems including Android and Apple's iOS.  The Wave 723 is targeting a more budget-conscious consumer.  However, given the small number of phones running the Bada operating system and associated smaller number of apps, is this phone a good choice when compared to other entry level Android phones?
