It has been reported that the bada SDK will allow the developers to develop apps that have access to the system’s messaging services. This includes (but probably is not limited to):

• creating and sending SMS messages (receiving?)
• creating and sending emails with attachments (receiving?)
• creating and sending MMS messages with attachments (receiving?)
• receiving Push messages

The attachments will be probably limited to:

• Image
• Audio
• Video

If you wonder what the push messages are, here is a hint:

Basically it seems to be a service provided by Samsung that collects notifications from many online sources you are interested in and forwards them to you in a nice little package

The messaging services allow a developer to get more creative in the area of “social” apps. Maybe an app that allows you to send a photo directly to all of your favorite friends in one click via MMS? The push messages may be interesting for distributed apps that run partly as a service on a separate server. I am not sure yet how the integration works exactly though.

Edit: I have just received a sample code of how MMS sending is done on bada. Enjoy!

SendMmsMessage.h

#ifndef _SENDMMSMESSAGE_H_
#define _SENDMMSMESSAGE_H_

// includes
#include "FMessaging.h"

class SendMmsMessage
	: public Osp::Base::Object
{
public:
	SendMmsMessage(void) {}
	~SendMmsMessage(void) {}

public:
	void MmsTest(void);
};

#endif//_SENDMMSMESSAGE_H_

SendMmsMessage.cpp

#include "SendMmsMessage.h"

using namespace Osp::Base;
using namespace Osp::Messaging;

// Create listener, overriding the OnMmsMessageSent function of the IMmsListener,
// in order to be notified of change in state of message being sent

class MmsListener : public IMmsListener, Object
{
public:
	void OnMmsMessageSent(result r);
};
void MmsListener::OnMmsMessageSent(result r)
{
	// do something
}

void SendMmsMessage::MmsTest(void)
{
	result r = E_SUCCESS;

	// Create MmsListener object
	MmsListener mmsListener;

	// Create a MmsManager instance with listener as the callback to check the status of the message being sent.
	MmsManager mmsManager;
	r = mmsManager.Construct(mmsListener);

	// Create a message instance
	MmsMessage mmsMessage;
	r = mmsMessage.SetSubject(L"mms subject");
	r = mmsMessage.SetText(L"Hello, world");
	r = mmsMessage.AddAttachment(MMS_IMAGE, L"/Media/Images/My photos/image.jpg");

	// Populate the message
	RecipientList recipients;
	r = recipients.Add(RECIPIENT_TYPE_TO, L"+82312798535");
	r = recipients.Add(RECIPIENT_TYPE_CC, L"+82312792288"); 

	// Send the message, and set the saveToOutbox parameter to true if the message should be saved in outbox. Otherwise, set to false.
	// MmsListener callback will be called once the message has been completely sent.
	r = mmsManager.Send(mmsMessage, recipients, true);
}
