well i'm sure you have noticed by now that their are many, many review for the behold 2 online. some better than others, some down right harsh. with that being said i thought you all would like to read a review from someone who actually owns the phone. i have only had this phone for a little under a week now and i can already say that it's a solid addition to t-mobiles android line up. i may be a little bias as i am coming from an original behold, but i have had the g1 and used the cliq extensively (the wife has a cliq), of the two other android phones i have experience with, this one is by far the best. i have to also say that i have always some what liked touchwiz, and this is touchwiz on steroids! if you aren't a fan of the touchwiz interface you can run a "home" replacement app and get a more stock android feel, or even use a custom theme. there have also been a lot of complaints that it does not ship with android 2.0, well it has been confirmed by samsung that there will be an OTA update sometime in early 2010. the camera app is the best of any phone bar none and even rivals some digital cameras. media player has some differences from stock android, but basically the same and a vast improvement over the original behold's player. cube is pretty useless besides the aspect for viewing photos and fliping through , but hey you don't have to ever use it, though if you don't then the cube dedicated button is really pointless. while i'm on the topic of buttons i have to say i wish there were less. with a touchscreen device they are really redundant and take away from the over all look of the phone. i do like the cube button though because that way i don't have to take up screen space with a shortcut. all in all though there are some short falls, but i like this phone. if anyone wants to know more ask away and i'll answer as best i can.
