Well as you can see every company is trying to make the touchscreen work like the iPhones do but still no success, iphone uses the finger's heat to function the screen but others use touch. from all the touchscreen phones i used this Behold was the best one except iphone. So it is good for t-mobile workers.its a great phone.

I had the first Behold and loved it, just wished it had wifi…right now I have the mytough and my husband had the cliq…I really like the mytough but have longed for the camera of my bhold. It took such wonderful clear pictures with the 5mp camera with a flash, way better then the my touch. THAT is what i personally think the my touch is missing, a great camera with a flash. My husband works for T-Mobile and I'll be keeping an eye on this…I may be getting it…

My Behold should be here in about 2 dys. After reading your reviiew I am not so sure about my choice anymore. But I will ultimately have to judge for myself – will update.

The T-Mobile employee tried to sell me “required” internet access added to my account in order to use this phone. I noticed that for the first 24 hours, internet was not working because it takes a while to get it set up. Now, the next day after buying my Behold II, I have internet access on it. But, I'd spent all evening and this morning using WiFi which was extremely fast. When I turn off WiFi to test out internet access on T-Mobile's G3 network, it's a bit slower. But that's not my concern. I believe they lied to me about internet being *required* in order to use the phone. They claim it will not function without it. I think I proved last night that it works just fine, but I can't access any online content when away from WiFi. Since my home and work are saturated in wireless, I don't see this being an issue–I don't browse the web while driving. But, would you consider it necessary for services like GPS? Which, by the way, I have yet to try out. Just wondering, could I save that $30/month fee?

I ordered mine today so hope to get started within the next few days. Can't wait to take a crack at the Samsung Behold II. From what I read on http://www.Behold-Android.com, The Behold II include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, GPS, a 5-megapixel camera, and up 16GB expandable memory via the microSD slot. Samsung stated that the smartphone follows on the success of its Samsung Behold and takes it to the next level with the addition of Android, bringing support for Google services and Exchange ActiveSync.

Well said Anthony! i will be making my purchase as soon as my employee discount is available in early December. I am a T-Mobile employee and had the G1 when it first came out. The functionality of the HTC unit made me puke and immediately go back to my Blackberry Curve. Ive been playing with this phone the last few days and I think its awesome. The nice thing is that this phone has the copy/paste feature unlike the G1 and Moto Cliq. enjoy!

I purchased this phone last night and this phone is AWESOME. I don't agree at all with the processor being slow or a memory hog whatsoever. It is very comparable in speed to the iPhone actually. The camera is superb. The best camera I have come across on any phone thus far. This phone contains so many features it could take a beginner months to figure everything out comfortably. The clarity is amazing and recipients can hear you more clearly as well. I agree with the design. Unlike the G1, this phone is smooth (no funny outward chin that the G1 contains), distributes weight very evenly and looks good. It's much faster than the G1 and comparable to the Mytouch. Although this phone has the camera flash (it's a great tool) and more megapixels for wonderful imagery (as you can see above). This is the best phone by Tmobile so far in my opinion. I have much to learn about this phone but have not been disappointed. The GPS is sweet and dangerously accurate. You really do have to text landscape (sideways) as it's true that typing vertically is a nightmare. The buttons are too squished together. If you are a Tmobile customer who has salivated at the iPhone from AT&T, this phone will draw away much of that galore. Don't listen to most iPhone users, the Behold II is worthy of the same class.
