As the saying goes, a picture paints a thousand words. We couldn’t agree more especially with what we’ve got for you today – screenshots of Samsung’s upcoming Bada OS. This first batch of pics is courtesy of Engadget Germany. We get a glimpse of its main menu, music playlist, maps, and contact with social networking integration.

The succeeding screenshots is from Samsung Flash. We can see here Bada's music player, dialer, chat interface, and homescreen that’s a little reminiscent of Android.

Last, but certainly not the least, here are some more images from GSM Arena. Here we have a sneak peek at the contact list, Bluetooth connectivity options, media gallery, online presence (email and social networking accounts), a different variant of the menu screen, and movie player.

Over-all, Samsung's first homebrew OS looks pretty good, and the large well-spaced icons will certainly be very helpful in making it touch-friendly. Hopefully, what we'll get treated to next is a live video of it in action.
