3d interfaces suck.

No current OS uses it and with good reason.

The movies make it look cool and useful, but in reality it’s ugly and a pain in the ass.

New to TMO and already having a hard time not switching to Verizon. I agree TMO needs to grow up and start playing with the big boys. They have great customer service and plans, just lacking in high quality professional phones ATM. I am desperately waiting for a decent Android phone. Surely TMO MUST have something in the works! Dragon?!

As for the cube, who thinks this stuff up!?! BUT, my friend works for TMO and they already have the phones in stores. The cube is ONLY used when you go to media. It is NOT used for your home screen. And the screen is incredible. So dont knock the phone until you see it in person. I will probably pick up the phone while I wait for something better to come along. The screen alone is worth it!

you all sound like a bunch of whiny bitches cube this cube that don’t buy it no one is forcing you. One carrier will always have something the other one doesn’t ,that’s the way of the market.If you want it all ,then your gonna have to be a little patient . Android is still a baby so, we are lucky to even have the hero or droid or the G1 for that matter this time next year you will see some serious handsets. Things are just getting started so , either your down for the cause or go be a poser with some other OS and stop all the f!@#$ weeping!!!!!

TMO had better get the Dragon, or I may look into other options.

The lady I talked to at T-Mobile today tried to sell me on the Behold 2 saying it was just around the corner. It looks fairly nice and all.. (but I just placed my order for my new Droid). Sorry T-Mobile… but I just couldn’t resist.. and I just couldn’t wait for a GSM Droid or Dragon.

This phone is horriable! I cant believe Tmobile puts out another “Toy” android phone! I may become a verizonwireless.com customer after work today (DROID)! So….Tmobile if your listening, come with a real phone next time not a toy..MOTO Cliq, Behold 2, NO THANK YOU! I DONT LIKE SKIN ON MY ANDROID!!

Wow I thought I was the only one that though t tmobile was making the dumbest decisions on phones. Tmobile is so fucking stupid. How the hell you let verizon come out with eris and droid while we get the cliq. Are u fucking kiding me.I’m 30 years old I could give a damn about social sites. I want a beast of a phone. Them punks already took away the option of using our smart phones as modems. I so want to cancel my service with tmobile because they are disrepcting its older bill paying patrons like me. I think they have a room full mokeys choosing there phones at tmobile. Because no one with a brain would choose a mytouch over an Droid.and now they try to come out with the behold 2.with that wack ass ui. Damn I wish had a HTC HERO! But I don’t want to cancel my service. But I’m on the verge of doing that and taking the etf. Atleast I know with the other companies they come with the best phones.they don’t play around with the customerd and come out with dumb shit like mytouch,cliq and now behold 2. Tmobile is trying their best to be the worst mobile company.doming out with sub par garbage.

Not to sound like a broken record but TMO’s Android strategy is clearly putting out a ton of cheap, crappy phones while the competition focuses on fewer, and MUCH better phones. Isnt the RAM on this thing even less than the MyTouch, which has the exact same RAM as the ORIGINAL Android phone? I mean who the hell is in charge here? Looks like Ill be buying my way out of yet another contract. And I im not even going to comment on the Samsung’s “UI”

I’m agree, I’m really hoping and waiting for a sensible phone, with a 4 to 4.3″ inch screen, running Android with useful UI, not something to show off for a few minutes that will eventually get annoying.

And can we also get UMA…. oh to dream.

I’m with Geoff. While I don’t think I’d quite bash the Cliq so hard I have to agree. T-Mo is all about the tweens with everything they do. Their plans are way better but you end up looking like you have a kids phone at work. But then that kinda goes back to the OEM’s. Why do they make these corny looking phones. I don’t think the IPhone looks tweeny but the kids buy it. So why make these kiddie looking phones to begin with. T-mo has got less than a year to give me something to upgrade to or I might be headed back to Verizon. My wife is already itching to go to shed the whole tweeny feel of T-Mo as a whole. It was ok in college but now in our 30′s…..

The cube is a novelty. It’s cool for about 10 seconds, and then it’s just in the way. Perhaps it’s a bit more functional in this as opposed to the Omnia II, but when I played with it in the Omnia II emulator online, it struck me as being something I would never, ever use if I owned the phone. On that phone, it’s also virtually pointless, because there are buttons at the bottom of the screen for each of the 6 functions on the cube. Why spin the cube hunting for your app, when you can just press the button that’s directly on the screen?

Samsung, have you been seeing these comments? This has got to be by far the most disgusting user interface I have seen on a phone. If I ever picked this phone up, the first thing I would do is strip out the TouchWizUI.

How much longer will T-Mobile users have to wait to receive a decent looking Android device with impressive specs?
