Samsung Behold II - Pros & Cons

played back perfectly smoothly
and also looked vibrant on the AMOLED display
Battery life was good at 9 hours and 16 minutes of talk time in EDGE mode
Speakerphone quality was impressive
the virtual keyboard pretty easy to use
The camera did a nice job of capturing our standard shot
Easy-to-use D-pad makes a decent alternative to touchscreen navigation
new ways of thinking
new connections
and new industries

just on the side
entering data in page fields was needlessly complicated
geometric animation is sluggish and sloppy looking
lacks a touch screen and its browser is junk
sluggish to start up and load album covers
Dialing numbers was a little sluggish
had no real truck with smartphones
but-underpowered processor
poor performance and an at-times jarring user experience
handset with a little bit of weight -- not enough to be inconvenient
that arrow on the left side of the screen
The USB port is weirdly shoved on top
high price tag is a major turnoff
3D cube menu is more gimmicky than useful
the feature is more gimmicky than useful
voices sounded a little garbled
microSD slot hides behind the battery door
Unlock key is far too recessed to be of practical use
Android-only user interface
No good can come of that spinning cube
TIREDMenus are confusing
inconsistent and ugly

Samsung Behold II Non-Review: Oh God, the Ugly

Samsung's Behold II is the most impressively ugly Android phone in existence. The custom interface is so bad, so gaudy and so confusing it turned my brains into ooze.

Review: Samsung Behold II

Short Version: T-Mobile's 4th Android device has a lot going for it. 5.0 megapixel camera, all the smartphone basics, WiFi, 3G, GPS, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. But it feels kinda cheap, runs Android 1.5, and for $229.99? No thank you.
