Worst phone I ever owned. Samsung took a beautiful piece of hardware and totally screwed it up. They should have just left it with the standard Android 2.0. I mean, if you’re going to tweak the default UI you should at least make it *better* (a la HTC SenseUI). Samsung made it WORSE. And what’s up with Android 1.5 when the Droid shipped sooner and had 2.0? TouchWiz ruined what was otherwise an impeccable phone. Shame on Samsung for this.

Do you guys think the first behold is better?

Because I have one, and it bascilly is the best phone, and value in tmos lineup. And it’s also pretty much the only thing good in tmos lineup.

There are 2 MAJOR (but fixable) issues with this phone. 1) the user interface (cube or wtf you want to call it). It needs to go. 2) The price is just outrageous.

Both of these problems can easily be fixed. Aside from that this phone would be the best android phone on tmobile (which unfortunately isn’t saying much). The ancient processor is really just pathetic. Nonetheless, it has a 5mp cam, LED flash, and 3.5mm jack.

Well i unfortunately purchased this phone one because my g1 had gotten old, and there isn’t any good HTC phones that run android on t-mobile. I use to refuse to buy Samsung phones because most of them were junk. The Samsung behold II had all the makings of a good phone but for every positive the phone has there is a negative to match. Positives the screen looks great, I love the camera and flash, built in file program,headlhone jack. Now for the bad take a seat for this one. Top of the list the retarded touchwiz/cube UI wthf this makes me hate the phone it like a cute girl with an std i just cant do anything with it That i want to. If Samsung came at with a way to run stock android (not 1.5 ) i would actually pay cash and while there at it i would like to re task the cube button also i keep hitting it by accident. Battery life sucks as soon as someone starts selling aftermarket batteries that’s something else ill have to buy. Not happy with the mini usb either, be able to access the sd card without taking off the back case would have been nice not to mention piece of junk they came up with to hold the card in place was a waste. Back to things Samsung could fix i need a way to disable the notifications from the default messaging app quite frankley it makes me sick i and would delete it for the space its wasting. Hey apps that waist space well hey just delete them right? Wrong who the fuck wants to play dinner dash raise your hand please, if you raised your hand just please save me th troube and go kill yourself. Well Im at work so lets rap this up ummmm needs a trackball, i miss the little blinking light that let me know i had a message. Oh i forgot a soothing the sound quality isn’t bad but…… The contacts and call log suck. If some one at Samsung reads this if you want to help keep your company afloat youshould do everything in your power to find the people that were responsible for destroying this phone and kill them and if your one of them go and blindfold yourself and play in traffic. I don’t think anyone really tested this phone before it came out most of this was fixable. Well it’s ok at least there’s always ebay. Don’t take anything i say to heart and please excuse any errors in grammar and spelling Im on my phone at work and and the nurse Im working with just got implants and i can do this and stare at the same time and hey this post wasn’t a total lost i just made $30+ doing nothing and staring at boobs. Have a happy holiday and god bless America.

Everything u said may be true, but the phone will be a failure because of its price point. A pretty screen and camera flash don’t make up for the phones other shortcomings. Tmo has had android for over a year, but it took verizon to put it on the map. Thanks tmo for giving me “the phones I crave”.

So there is no way to turn off “the Cube”?

Even the TP2 will let you turn of the TouchFlo contraption.

Since it’s Android, I guess it could be rooted and enjoyed properly then. :-)

This phone is way better than people are giving it credit for. The interface is much better. Plain android is ugly and boring….this phone spices things up!! The cube is a shortcut to your multi-media apps. It also gives you a much better looking interface to work with photos and music. There are about 5 different ways to do anything on this phone…..pick the one you like best and stick with it. The whole point to this phone is options!! You have a lot of different options on top of the boring old android ones. Oh and it does full corporate email that is push with contacts and calendar sync and has a document viewer (word, excel, power point and pdf) already built into the phone.
