I am really looking forward to getting my
Samsung Behold II in February. I am waiting for
current 2 year stint to end to get a cheaper
price. So far, this looks amazing. I have seen
reviews with stock Behold II and look forward
to chance to update to Android 2.0 if needed at
all. Since it is a new phone, I would expect
some hiccups to show, so hopefully I get a
batch that has been revised at least once when
I get mine. Looking forward to the unlimited
possibilities it seems. Been using flip phones
since 2006, have been wanting to add
functionality for a long time. Does POP exist
on these phones when used with WiFi? Also, have
seen that 3G can't be turned off, has anyone
came with a way to fix this and make it more
selective? For example, when at work, signal
strengths aren't that great, would rather use
WiFi capabilities for any browsing or web
related activity. Currently get with the Beat
about 2 to 0 bars inside work, when I move
around I do get better strengths. Share your
opinions with me at http://www.Behold-

Samsung Behold II (T-Mobile)
Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turnoff.

CNET Review
The Good: The Samsung Behold II boasts a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The smartphone includes more-robust multimedia capabilities, and its 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support are all included.
The Bad: The phone is expensive, especially compared with the competition. The TouchWiz interface isn't all that useful. Runs Android 1.5.
The Bottom Line: Of all the Android devices, the Samsung Behold II offers some of the most powerful multimedia features, but its high price tag is a major turnoff.

Review Summary: Despite the name, the Behold II has little in common with Samsung's original Behold. T-Mobile likes to re-use names to a fault, and while the original Behold was a TouchWiz feature phone, the Behold II is an Android smartphone. The similarity lies in...
The Verdict: We love Android and we adore Samsung's vibrant AMOLED displays. But we could do with a little less TouchWiz on top of Android: it slows down the phone and it creates confusing redundant functionality. But if you're a Samsung feature phone user...

Review Summary: It is selling for $230 with a two-year service agreement, making it one of the more expensive models running Google's mobile operating system. It's AM-OLED display probably accounts for this
The Verdict: At $230 with a 2-year contract, this device is more expensive than T-Mobile's similar myTouch 3G, probably because of its cutting-edge display. Yet, the many surprises about this device, even beyond its screen, may make the Behold II a device worth...
