New Phone: T-Mobile Behold II
That’s right, T-Mobile has come out with a successor to the Samsung Behold, but want to know the best new feature? They replaced the OS with Android lol So this now makes the 3rd T-Mobile Android device to be announced. The specs are not much different to the MyTouch except a nicer screen (3.2 AMOLED Capacitive screen), and a nice camera (5.0MP with flash).
I know what all the current Android users are wondering; How much RAM? and Can it run Hero better than my MyTouch/G1?
Well, no word on RAM yet, but this is supposed to be the US version of the Samsung Galaxy and if that is the case you won’t be happy. The Galaxy only has 128MBs of RAM (so LESS than the MyTouch/G1 who have 192Mbs and WAY LESS than the Hero), sorry guys.
But besides the Hero UI being hacked onto it, it does come with it’s own proprietary UI from Samsung; TouchWiz. This is the UI that the old Behold has with the sidebar you can drag widgets to and from and also a cube for selecting multimedia. Not a bad alternative to the MyTouch for some…
Wow this is a nice handset on release I may upgrade, and for the AMLOED is it anything like the Zune HE’s OLED screen?
Actually this phone will not be running on Android but there is another phone that looks almost similar to this one its called the Samsung Galaxy i7500.U can find it on Youtube.
Hello Young3G,
The Behold is T-Mobile’s branded version of the Galaxy as far as we can tell and will run Android (like how the MyTouch is T-Mobile’s version of the HTC Magic). Where did you hear it won’t be Android anymore, have a link?
Then again it might be running Android or this is probably the Tmobile version of the samsung galaxy which is almost identical as far as looks. I hope they don’t change the specs.
