“Behold” the Samsung T919

Posted by David On October - 8 - 2008

We first got wind of this phone back in mid-August and it certainly has a lot of expectation as the first ALL-touch screen phone for T-mobile. Dubbed the “Behold” we’re still waiting on a detailed list of specs, but we know a 5mp camera,  Honestly, where do they come up with these names lately?! Well the good news is info leaking out shows a November 10th release date with a price of $149. No word on if that’s post rebate but I’d bet the last 12 dollars I have left in the stock market that it is. Specs are still a little vague and other than the 5 megapixel camera and “web2go” capability we don’t have confirmation of much so details are forthcoming. Enjoy:

    So this is not the re-branded Omnia right?
    Does it run on Samsung OS or Win Mo with
    overlayed UI like the Omnia?

    This phone looks AMAZING! I’ve been following this release very closely and checking out it’s predecessors. And I’ve got to say this phone looks like samsung has learned from past phones, and we all know our magenta isn’t going to release something this cool if it isn’t going to impress us. And lets face it people; a 5 mp camera it blows the competition out of the water! GO TMO! 3G capable, touch screen this phone ROCKS!

  23. David says:

    I have to say, I’m really liking this so far. Of course my biggest contention is how receptive the touch screen is and whether or not its LG Voyager like or iPhone/G1 receptive. That is my question.

    I had a chance to play with the t919 last week and it is amazing!! The touchscreen is wonderful, very responsive, like iphone or g1!! The browser is wap based only, but very fast and great graphics.
    overall a great non-business phone!
    Camera is the best so far, moto camera is good, but the phone itself is just a rokr with wifi. Samsung all the way!!
