there is a way you can install android its called rooting,by rooting you can run android OS but it will not be as fast and smooth as the official android OS and all features of the OS won't work.You will eventually jail-broke your device by damaging the original OS and rooting to a new OS.Rooting is not that bad but you will loose the originality of your device and hey don't go to a service center and ask them to root your phone as rooting is done by professionals or in a service shop in markets.hope this help but at last the final decision will yours :)

Oh you have a bada os, i think that is not possible since there are certain samsung models installed with OS if the phone is already on android then it sure can be upgraded, still depending on the model and its capability.
but then there are establishments that can probably unluck your phone and have it rooted (like mine) so that the pre installed softwares can be changed and let's hope that this would also allow your operating system be changed to android. im not really sure, though. good luck and please do a lot of research as this could be so much trouble for little benefits. (phones when rooted will sometimes be quick to hang, some issues would be arising as well).

probably if your phone is good enough as hardware you can choose for a double boot os such as you can install 2 os on the same device...i knew that there was the possibility for many android phones or even maemo os ones...as regards bada don't know because it depends even if samsung places some locks to prevent thing like that..
