The Behold is all that n then some!! For those of you complaining that T-mobile isn’t giving you the best deals, you need to check again!! If you’ve been with T mobile for a long time, as I have been with them for 10 year almost, they will give u a tenure discount. i actually purchased 2 of these, an expresso n a rose, both totaled out to a little less than $300, with shipping, and i was able to get the upgrade fee waived!!! when you get a rep tell them you want to speak to the sales department & they can help get that priced reduced a great deal!! One bad thing, but it’s really not that serious, is that the camera takes a little long to load n take the pics, but the quality of the pics are excellent!!! Do a search on the behold and compare it to other phones! I’ve dealt with a G1, and it’s got nothing on this phone!!

I happen to work for T-mobile customer care, while i understand that you as customers like to have up-to-date phones for a good price and everything, you cant really expect us just to give you a phone for free or a high priced phone for a next to free price just because you’ve been with us for a certain amount of time. Its not that we dont appreciate your loyalty, but you’re not looking at it from a business perspective. We’re not doing good business by just handing you something everytime you complain. Oh and by the way you can cancel if you want, and go somewhere else, but eventually you will run into the same thing, no matter what company you go too. Verizon, ATT, Sprint,etc.

@ Andrea…. I think you can only get a 2 year contract. The one year contract extentions is for a plan change only. Thanks Matt! I’m sure you guys know more then me, I was only voicing my opinion….but I’m sure you and Trish are right. Matt do you have the inside scoop on the new HTC device that’s coming to t-mobile??

Hey TEX, I have been working for T-Mobile for about 5 years now and I will tell you that they dont get the phones a whole sale price. What Trish says is right. Each phone individually sales at full retail value. Even though they buy phones in bulk, the manufactures like, Motorola, Nokia, samsung, RIM, and HTC dont offer any discounts. Thats why they can only subsidize the price when you qualify for an upgrade, if they did it all the time they wouldn’t make any money.

Trish I understand why you would say that they pay over 300 dollars for certain phones but sipmle business principles. They pay whole sale prices for their phones. THink about it why would they pay 300 plus per phone, and they buy hundreds of thousands of these phones. Really? That’s only the G1, what about the Behold, Blackberries, Nokias, Samsungs, Motorolas, LGs, etc…. Come’on think about it babygirl. Anyway, you could be right I’m just voiceing my opinion.
Until next time!!

@ Leslie….The “Behold” isn’t a open applications phone(yet), so finding these subsitutes for the current programs are a little difficult. As soon as I hear something about the AIM I’ll let you know. I would try to store it to the SD card. Remember the more you sore to your phone the less responsive downloads will be and loading will take longer. I also recomend to get a larger flash drive, because your phone isn’t hot swappable(being able to switch SD Cards while phone is on)get a good sized flash(4-8 GB) so you can store plenty of music and still have your upgrades.
Until next time!!
