Finally. If it lives up to what I hope it will, I'll finally have something suitable from TMO to replace my old Behold.

Tiene buena pinta

From what I have seen, this is the exact same phone as the Samsung Galaxy GT-i7500, simply given a slightly new exterior and the Cube menu interface version of TouchWiz. You can see a video of the original Galaxy on YouTube; search Phone Arena Samsung Galaxy. (Sorry, I can't use links yet due to poster rank).

I don't know if the Behold 2 will have the 8 GB internal memory (ROM) of the Galaxy... if so, while it will no doubt increase the cost of the phone, that will be pretty neat. Most Android devices so far have had ROM measured in MB.

I'd like to see a little more about the Behold 2 before I form any solid opinions. I think I'd still like a hardware keyboard (thus my interest in the Moto CLIQ), but this does look like a very solid addition to Magenta's Android lineup. It's nice to see Samsung (a well-loved brand) getting into the Android space as well. I'd like to see Nokia do the same thing, but they seem totally married to Symbian at this point.

T-Mobile will soon see the Samsung Behold II , aka the T939. The Behold II has been confirmed that it will be an Android device and come with Touchwiz UI. Some of the features of the Behold II are:

* 3.2″ AMOLED full touchscreen
* WiFi
* T-Mo 3G
* Up to 16 GB expandable memory
* Bluetooth 2.1
* Visual Voicemail
* 5 MP camera with autofocus and flash and video capabilities
