I think naming this phone the Behold 2 was a stupid move on samsungs part…..I actually bought the orginal Behold, and will probably never buy another samsung phone again after it…I know i’m not the only person who regretfully purchased that phone, so I think it may have been a dumb marketing move on their part…

@Jwise…. i know tmobile doesnt make the ui or phones. im just saying they choose to sale the worst phones. they dont try to compete.i have the g1 for a year like i sad before. they tried to hoodwink me and the rest of the g1 massive by coming out with the mytouch.Then the cliq which is pretty much a kids phone. now the samsung behold 2 with a wack ass ui.Im 30 and im a male. I love my cool graphics and fresh new designs.
@Beanz0nToast… i didnt know that! thanks for that info.im still trying to see what tmobile does. i really want cancel and get an eris or droid but i will see what tmobile brings.

@F14, my hero says “with google” on the back and has senseUI, I think I read somewhere about other, older HTC phones getting senseUI but I dont remember where and I dont think it was ever confirmed.

1. Probably the worst phone overview demo I’ve ever seen!
2. @CoolMANDINGO…T-Mo doesn’t make phones! I understand the point about trying to get T-Mo to influence manufacturers but they don’t make the phones and only have so much influence on manufacturers. Also, Sense UI isn’t opened sourced. Granted they released the kernel but it’s not open sourced so only HTC has the “rights” to put it out there.

Just another “Oh I’m sorry Sir. But Samsung doesn’t support their phones”

It’s the same processor as the Cliq.

seriously about the specs whats the damn deal.? i found somewhere it has like 128mb ram, they arent bragging about ram so maybe thats accurate, in which case TMO ought to be auctioned off to investors who understand the free market. The android people on tmo came for the G1, theyve had the phone for a minute and they know what an IMPROVED device looks like, and it doesnt look like this

I own 3 G1s, 2 Magics(1 myTouch and 1 Ion), and a Droid. I have used the Behold II extensively and I will say it is the best Android phone to date.

Holy crap, from that video, not only does the skin look HIDEOUS, it also looks DYSFUNCTIONAL. Did you see the guy try to use the music player widget? He kept on hitting the menu button instead. The cube? Pretty, but watching him try to navigate it was painful to behold (see what I did there?).

UGH. So far only HTC has really knocked it out of the park in terms of custom skinning.

You like making up numbers, don’t you?

The Behold II is $199 with a 2 year contract. This is old news. Please do some research.

Hey coolMANDINGO, Sense UI is developed by HTC, not Samsung. The TouchWIZ UI is Samsung’s. So the only way you will get Sense for the Samsung, is by rooting and hoping someone can port you a copy.
