Got to play with the Behold II and the cliq today at a wireless show they had in our office bldg. The Behold had a better and larger display than the cliq. I liked the feel of the cliq better and the slide out querty, have no use for motoblur. The Behold & cliq both responded pretty quickly. Would be hard to decide between the two. The dummy BB 9700 phone was nice, same size as my 8900.

Got to hold a dummy of the Imagio, Eris and Moto Droid. Really liked the Imagio, had a large display and nice feel to it, elegant looking. Eris was nice also just a little under beauty of the Imagio. The Droid was not as nice looking and did not like the keyboard, unimpressive, guess the beauty is suppose to be on the inside.
TMO needs to get those 3 phones in their line-up.

@john, dont mean to insult you but….you have had the behold 2 for quite a while, and the only videos you’ve taken are those of your ugly face!!!, dude please step up on this and show us the juice.

It seems like samsung uncovered on the the main issues that nonandroid users face the first time they have it: the os might be too complicated for them, so samsung went ahead and “simplified it”. By simplifying i mean those fixed menus and the cube, that basically make force you to not get lost and find the main features of the phone. However for the more experienced android user, this whole touchwhiz UI is BS!!

@teh. Sorry I didn’t put in behold 2. Figured any reasonably intelligent person would be able to understand what I was talking about. You are the fan boy that most work at tmobile. I hAve beeen a customer since voicestream and have had enough of poor managent. The 15 dollars for exchangesupport does not apply sorry. Maybe you just can’t think for yourself and must spitup all the propaganga that tmobile says.

As for the behold 2. It’s a cross between the galaxy and the galaxy lite. And again it’s a below standard device that tmobile will overprice. Facts are facts and your just an ass.

My store received our demo today, and I played with it for the entire shift, and it was no where near that sluggish.

I played with this phone for about an hour tonight and I have to say it is DEFINATELY NOT sluggish. My fiances mytouch is super slow and sluggish and freezes constantly. the finish and quality of the samsung is something HTC can only dream about. I loved everything about this phone and I am super picky. The camera is straight off of the behold 1 with all the adjustability of the behold/memoir. the flash is bright and the touch screen its best ive used with android. This MAY be the phone that makes me drop AT&T and my iphone and go back to Tmobile. I love that Samsung kept a lot of the features of touchwiz and molded it seamlessly into android. A match made in heaven.

I hear while it’s not quick to respond, it’s not laggy either…whatever that means. However for me, it still lacks a larger screen. I will take the rumored 800Mhz processor anyday over the Q-528mhz I am running on the myTough3G…BUT I need a larger screen. 3.2 inches aint cutting it for me. I am sticking with my MT3G until someting better comes along soon hopefully…

thank you for that little B2 nugget I needed it. I have been anticipating this phone for months now so, it’s nice to see it in action and getting some deserved love. This phone has been underrated and deserves more buzz, I think the behold name threw people off.Did anyone notice when they were swipiing between screens how it dipped down and up,it looks like Sammy incorperated some of the cubeness to the regular home screens which I thought was cool

There is no menu that comes up from the bottom. There are 4 soft buttons there that never go away (dialer, contacts, web and quick list, which lists your most used apps).

I know it isn’t the same phone, but in this video below from engadget, the Samsung Moment is so much faster. Weird? Totally different specs?
