“the cube button which was the biggest issue for me can’t be removed.”

Why on earth would a button that you never have to touch be such an issue. I have heard people say the button is a deal breaker. Really? A button? After one time use I promptly put it out of my mind. It’s like it doesn’t even exist. If you don’t like the cube don’t touch the button, problem solved. Yeah it would be nice to be able to remap the use of the button but I bet there is probably more than one button on your tvs universal remote that you have no use for and so just don’t push it.

Yeah unfortunately samsung doesn’t give a rat’s ass about us. So seeing an update for this phone is unlikely. Samsung already has a hold of 2.1 and tied it in with touchwiz for their new phone that is going to korea…… but nothing for us everyone is just creating new phone and noone wants to update this beauty.

You know what? I blame all those phone reveiwers for why we don’t got any good support for this phone from samsung I mean they want to promote the popular things and everyone just about killed that chance for us I doubt they even care if we get an update to 2.1 it seems like everyone is getting one in march but no sound for us.

As we speak, developers are busy trying to find a way to re-map the cube button to something more functional like a search feature.

oh and the cube thing…pointless but once again it can be removed. The cube button (which was the biggest issue for me) cannot though :(

Hey all…. if your gonna bag on a phone make sure you know what your talking about…Yes, the touchwiz home is not very good. Thats why you can replace it with much better Home UI like GDE or Open Home…Replace the keyboard with better keyboard….download skins….do what ever you want. Its a good phone and well worth the money. The Android market is great to

I won mine as well and I echo the sentiment that the Behold II is a sleeping giant. Easily the best phone on TMO’s network save for the Nexus. If you don’t own one of course you’re going to be regurgitating the lame reviews off the interwebs. Yea we know Samsung muddled it up with their touchwiz UI but you can get past that once rooted and running stock Galaxy ROM. Hell, even most home replacements run lag free on top of touchwiz if you’re not brave enough to fair the rooting process. Also the cube feature comes in handy when you’re running a Home replacement, I just use it as a shortcut to my multimedia features.

Get back to me when you can find another TMO/Android handset that boasts album cover flow, stereo equalizer settings, magnificent camera software and toggle switches in the notification bar.

Last but not least, if any current android phone can handle a full fledged 2.1 update, it’s the Samsung Behold II with all of its 320MB of RAM. Can current MyTouch (192MB) G1 (192MB) and Cliq (256MB) users say the same? Yea, didn’t think so.

plain vanilla = the OS that google actually releases, no touchwiz, nothing special.

The behold 2 is basically the same as the galaxy.
