Samsung T919 Behold - User Reviews

  • this was the phone I gave to my college girl friend, I used to play with it lay down on her legs while breaks between class, now I see the device and makes me feel sad, and very nostalgic. PDA. she is not my princess anymore

  • Hey - have u figured out if you could install FB and whatsapp on this phone?

  • the phone does not have Wireless access only WAP 2.0 this is provided by your cellphone service. if you have it on your account.

  • this phone looks like it takes either micro or nano sim. internet connection is through Your cellphone providers network Wap 2.0 not wireless. and most likely any apps that you want would have to come from your network providers app pages. also looks like its a 2g network phone unless it will accept 3g...no setup on your part just the network provider.

  • How can we download fb whatsapp and other apps on our ph0ne??

  • how could i setup 3g

  • can it watsup

  • I own this phone. After 2 years of exp many parts of touchscreen are not working. Battery: Had to replace the battery after 1 year of use. If in a low tower range area the battery drains very fast in search of range. Contacts: searching in contacts is really very difficult since you have to touch and drag to reach the desired one. Internet: Have to check in samsung behold blog to see advanced settings for using internet. Camera: Camera with flash is v.good. In dusty cities you may need to clean up the dust by opening up the backcover. Connectivity: I failed to connect the phone via usb, so decided on bluetooth transfer, it is slow but works with samsung pc studio. Can easily update contacts in MS outlook with the help of this tool. Now bluetooth option also does not work. I have got new touch-screen from ebay to repair the phone. Also need to get a new battery in case I need to use the phone.

  • 1. Download and install TKFileExplorer 2.2 on your PC from this link 2. In the same .rar file, open SAMSUNG_Composite_USB_Driver_4_34_WHQL.zip and choose the Setup.exe file. This will install the necessary Samsung Driver to use TKFileExplorer. 3. Open TKFileExplorer and go to Settings then choose COM. On port, click the drop down menu and choose the port that is visible (something like port 5/port 6). NOTE* you must NOT be connected in pc studio program. Now click on FILE and CONNECT. 4. On the bottom half of TKFileExplorer, browse through these folders Exe/Java/Games. Now that you are in games, create a new folder. Name it after what you are going to install (for example, Google Maps, Gmail, Opera Mini etc). Now you will need to place the .jar & .jad files of the program you will be installing. On the top half of TKFileExplorer, browse through to where you saved the application files (.jar/.jad) and select them both. Now right click and choose â��Downloadâ��. 5. Open up your dial pad and enter the following, *#6984125*#. Choose INTERNALS and enter the following, *#9072641*#. Now scroll down and choose Storage Settings. Then update Java DB, followed by update apps database. Now you are finished. Go to Menu>Applications/Apps & Games. Your newly installed app should be visible.

  • If this model is like the Samsung Blackjack - when the battery is too low in power you cannot use your USB to recharge. Same applies to the car charger. You will need to plug it into a regular wall socket to recharge phone.

  • Hey.....this phone is exactly identical to the samsung F480 besides from the menu and video calling, so what's the difference??

  • how do u take off the camera sound off???

  • How can I setup and use the videocalling, 3G? I'm now living in Vietnam, so have you had Vietnamese-English dictionary for Samsung T919? if not, where I can find it?

  • I found that simply leaving your Behold on the frozen screen until the screen goes black (like it always does when the phone is inactive) then by pushing the red 'end' button, I was given the option to put in my password. It got rid of my frozen screen and brought me back to the home screen. This may only work if you have a password enabled for start-up, but it may work for other cases as well.

  • It isn't a smart phone. But its function are the same.

  • How can i use the videocalling.. Its finds me difficulties in accessing these features?

  • Is Samsung T919 Behold a smartphone?

  • you can reset your phone and it'll delete your password. do a master clear or master reset, but it may delete the contents in your phone to its manufacturer's settings. or if its your sim thats locked and not your device, tmobile can give you a new sim free of charge.

  • my samsung behold is frozen and i cant access nothing at all.wat can i don to master reset it without using the touchscreen?

  • voice command is almost useless on this phone....ne1 got better suggestions on this matter or tips??? thanks

  • sounds like individual phone problem, that was never a overly frequent problem with my behold. you can always upgrade to a samsung omnia 2

  • Don't waste your money.. I've had this phone for a couple of months. It does nothing but frustrate me. Anything you try do do, even text, causes the phone to shut off. It finally went crazy and would not stop shutting on and off. (I have talked to people that has had the same thing happen to their Behold) The behold is of bad quality, it has many features but you'll never get any of them to work!! And the 5.0 megapixel (the reason i bought the phone) is not that great either!

  • Well I am about to get my third behold because my first one froze up completely and now the second one is starting to do it to. T-mobile told me that this is known for doing this. I did the master reset and everything nothing seems to help. So I hope this phone doesn't freeze up completely before I get the other one.

  • i like the recent recipients, its very useful for the touchscreen behold. saves me a lot of time. clever thinking on samsung's part.

  • warren.. u got to do a master reset, i would save all my tones, pics, videos, and sounds to the memory card first...and remember how all my settings were. erasing the call log and messages will not erase the recent recipients.

  • orlando.. www.funformobile.com

  • nicole, there's no way to get a camera facing front with the behold. and u got to be a real phone tech to integrate an FM radio into the behold.

  • this looks awesome... but i was dissappointed that theres no radio.. cheers mate!

  • Behold has no radio. So its not possible to open it. If you notice, even the specs on this pages says there is no radio. There's only music player.

  • did i read you say you did a little tinkering with you 919, im curious as to know how you did it...

  • can someone tell me how to open the radio FM on this fone!! and the camera facing front, does this fone have it? plz show me how to use!!! thanks a lot!

  • i would like to know if i can update my phone.... for example the music y can't get any from internet how can I doit

  • i'm just ask 1 question about dis fone.i had it for 5months.but i didn't know or how to erase the number stored in the recent recipients after u send the message to that number.

  • hey the samsung behold is realy bad, i had it for 7 mts and it gave me so many pro, drop calls, freezing, bluetooth just every thing very bad phone dont get it what phone to get i dont know i am looking my self.

  • OK I feel the need to correct some technologically challenged people so there are no false expectations about this phone. With that said. 1.) Just because you can access a providers cellular network to access the internet does NOT mean it is Wi-Fi capable. The T919 does NOT have Wi-Fi. There is NOT a wireless network interface that can connect to a wireless access point� like at Starbucks for example. It all goes through T-Mobile�s or whoever�s network. 2.) File transfer (pics, music, and video etc..) Using the USB cable that came with the Behold, you can use it just like you would a USB thumb drive (aka Mass Storage Device). Simply copy the files to the appropriately named folder. Plug it in and your phone will pop up with 2 options, PC Studio or Mass Storage. Of course you can also use the FREE Samsung PC Studio software site to copy files and music. The Software is available for download on Samsung's site for free 3.) There is NO video calling. Didn�t you notice there is no front facing camera? Geez information age people gotta use some common sense LOL 4.) Major Limitations Samsung designed this to be used as a 3g modem for tethering. They even released a USB modem driver for it. What sucks is T-Mobile has disabled this feature due to �bandwidth issues� But when the salesman was trying to get me to buy it of course was a different story. Never again T-Mobile 3rd Party Java Apps are not supported. Again not Samsungs fault, but T-mobiles greedy bleeps trying to control everything. With a bit of hacking it can run most of the apps just fine. But those without the computer knowhow are stuck. All in all Samsung mad a great phone. Too bad it has been locked and blocked until it is just an overpriced paperweight. Thanks greedy suits at T-Mobile!!

  • Well, it can not record when people call

  • I am about to get this phone, but can anyone tell me is there anything bad about it. If so then may you tell me another phone i should get. Thanks. (:

  • Touchscreen is really hard to use. In my opinion, the camera in this phone has bad quality whether you compare with other 5 mp phones.

  • I found a good video of the Behold.

  • aweome phone . With its document reader u can save and read pdf , MS word , MS excel and MS powerpoint files on this phone . its camera is a real advantage over the other phones . A 5 MP camera in a cell phone beats all other phones except samsung memoir . Only problem is with what i had expected since it was a samsung is that its battery life sucks ... Samsung really needs to improve on its batteries ..

  • the camera is a freaking joke. there is like a 5 second delay after you press the shutter. you will never ever be able to take a picture with this stupid phone.

  • The phone is okay but as a touch screen it would have been better if it had a pen

  • Would Omnia be better? or Impression? or this?? there are sooo many fones... too many O_O

  • does anyone know how delete recent recipients on my phone does anybody know how

  • OMGG...got this fone for my 12th bday and its completely awesome i luv this fone i can go on the internet, my aim, check my email, and much more awesome fone i really recomend it

  • Hi people, how can I do an update on this phone? Thanks

  • unplug and re-plug your USB cord -- may take a coupla times

  • I agree -- my biggest complaint

  • You don't need to buy software -- just download the Samsung PC Studio 3. Google it - that's how I found it. Awesome phone software... beats the heck out of the Motorola Phone Tools.

  • hey pp i want to cet me tis phon now on saterday can any 1 tell me how it is and wil it begood to take it or not can you plz sen m an e-mail to [email protected] asap

  • I love this phone! there is one thing that i can say i hate about this phone. when you txt it keeps 20 contacts that you have recently txted. ughhh it's soooo annoying! but the pictures are amazing the internet is super fast and personally i have had 2 different sidekicks and used my dads g1. i like his phone better than any of them.

  • Worked fine for 3 months until today it started freezing during boot. Just sits on the T-mobile screen. Pulled the battery 5 times now and it stops at the same spot each boot attempt. Aviod.

  • You can email your pics to your pc, that is what I do and they come out fine.

  • You have to move the pics from the phone memory to the card memory first then find the proper folder in the card once it's hooked to the pc. A few steps but I've gotten some great pics to my pc.

  • The keyboard SUCKS! If you text a lot I don't recomend this phone but that's just my opinion.

  • Via Bluetooth.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer pictures from the phone to PC?

  • This feedback is not for this specific handsets but for all that approximate price should be there so that anyone can easily see the range which suits him/her.

  • i have it it dont take great pics and you have to hold the button forever for it to take

  • Help me ... My touch screen is not working anymore !!! It's Unreponsive . Is there anyone can resolve this prob ???

  • is behold better or f490 also how is the camera of the behold pls answer asap

  • It does not have wifi. It is however internet compatible.

  • is behold better or f490 please answer how is the camera of behold

  • Hey Baby there is no Radio in this cell

  • Hello Has anyone been able to use the Behold on a 3G 2100 network? I have an unlocked unit which works well in Brazil in the GSM/EDGE network, but there is no 3G signal. I managed to gain access to the �band menu� and there I can only see UMTS 1700. This is confusing as the Behold is listed as a UMTS 1700/2100 device. Is the 3G 2100 band �hidden� somehow? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated Thanks

  • there is no radio but the phone is amazing it is one of the most responsive touchscreen phones i've ever used it works faster then an iphone on the internet (my brother unlocked his and uses tmobile so the signal was the same when i tested the speed) awesomely designed not heavy sleek and about the perfect phone the only bad side no apps

  • were is radio in this phone ?

  • There are about 2 ways to put songs on the behold...you could download them which is paying...or you could download the songs but it has to be on MP3 file on your computer. link the charger slot with the cord that has the charger with the usb port and sync them up. make sure you have a "scandisk" to go into your phone or else without it you will have to buy a "behold Disk Software" for your computer which is spending money....hope this helps

  • what r u tok'n bout....i got on there just fine and there aint no problem up on it so how can you not go on there.....while i can check

  • i have the same problem does any one has a fix.....please.

  • I bought this phone in September and I've had nothing but problems with it. The bluetooth won't turn on unless I shut off my phone and restart it (it gets annoying after a while). It freezes randomly. It shuts down out of nowhere and restarts automatically. The time on my texts is 3 hours off (when I put my SIM in another phone the time on the texts was correct). Save your money and buy a different phone.

  • Tadpoles are very very cute and I love to squeeze them.

  • this phones battery life is One of the best. i have not had a better batterylif on a phone before . and for having a full touchscreen this is just amazing. the features are great but the only drawback is texting is laggy and not good. predictive is horrible and thew sideways keyboard doesnt work so well

  • I owned the samsung behold, overall i would have th say the phone does well. I think the cons of it all really are the wi-fi if your a internet browser, and the texting, the reason be about the texting is that it freezes up during the text and the i think the quickness of some people its quite faster then the actual software can capture. Another thing i wish they gave the ability to be able to change themes to the phone. I'm one to trick out my phone or give it my own little touch. i mean changing the background really doens't do much now and days. The fact that i'm also a bigger supporter of nokia, for me to like other phones is really hard. And the nokia's have the ability to customize your phone, which i wish they did with the samsung behold but i know you can't have everything on a phone. But overall the performance is well done

  • this is a pretty nice phone... the only thing is that it freezes up a sometimes in the middle of txtn but its prob one of the best phones i have ever used

  • ok i have the solution for you once you get to the demsbl boot loader screen simply remove the battery and put it back in while the fone is on then turn it back on

  • i need to put games on my phone but i cant do it because it dont read the application in java What can i do?

  • How can i update or re-install this phone's software?!

  • Why this phone doesn't have a secondry camera for video call ?!

  • i love love LOVE my phone! its easy to use, REALLY easy to text, and the gel cases for it are FABULOUS!

  • The phone is not bad if you are willing to do away with WIFI and google maps and having to remove the battery in order to exchange MicroSD cards. However, the sound, video and camera quality compensate nicely. Again, the phone is not bad but if it had the 3 missing features I mentioned above I believe it would kick the Iphone to the curb. Shame on you Samsung... you should know better.

  • I would highly recommend the Samsung F480t over this phone. Its reliable and has awesome features.

  • the ringtone is not laud

  • I have a question. I was wondering if this phone has a problem like the t-mobile shadow did. I had the sage version of the shadow at one time as well as the black. But the sage phone had millions of problems where as the black one worked great. I heard a rumor that the rose behold had more problems than the espresso. Is this true?

  • Yeah thanks for the comment, d-bag! You can actually use t-zones and get 3G if you're in a populated area. The T-zone plan is $5.99 a month. But you go ahead and buy a better phone.

  • Love the phone

  • high cost phone..........NO WIFI? Guess if you want to surf the net, you gotta pay the extra $29 monthly service charge...or buy a better phone.

  • No i have no idea either. HELP

  • it does not have word built in but you can save and view word files AIM there is an option but i hv never used AIM yahoo mail works fine for free even if you don't have a data plan

  • for some reason if the phone is on for awhile the bluetooth hangs....its a common issue, to me is not a big deal

  • You can change the ring tone and alarm ringtone from ur musik library but for message, u have to go to sound settings to change it.

  • I feel its the best,since i have been using samsung phones for the past 5 years i have never expirienced any problems. I want this T919 Behold.

  • I am new to posting sites, and happened on this one while searching for info on the Behold. I was just pondering over why some folks, not all, sometimes feel it's necessary to come across as nasty. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion, and just because it may not be shared by the masses, why come back with biting sarcasm? I wanted to be informed, but instead it seems I just witnessed many unsatisfied Behold customers who are each trying to outwit the other! So to those of you who were polite, I say, "Right on!" And for those of you who only have the negative comments, I wonder why you didn't research your purchases more thoroughly. For example, if you want a phone with Wi-Fi, investigate the features of the device you're considering first! That's my humble opinion, of course!

  • i got the pc studio but, i can not get a connection.What to do ?

  • how do I keep my T9 off all the time on my text? im tried of turning it off each text....

  • Why is not the website showing in specification how many hours is the talk time?

  • I'm having the backlight problem with my Samsung behold. I was wondering if you got yours figured out. my email is [email protected] if you have the chance to respond. thank you.

  • In regards to your second question, I recommend making sure your phone's MMS settings are changed to the ones your carrier's MMS require.

  • I've read that this phone is like an upgrade of the F480 Tocco, if this is true, why the T919 has a lower score than F480? Which of the 2 phones do you recommend?

  • i loved this phone!!!

  • Screen size is actually 240x400. Memory card can do 16GB. Specs from Samsung here Anyone know the processor speed?

  • Hi All, i am having problem with the bluetooth. Whenever i try to turn it on the screen says ACTIVATING BLUETOOTH and the screen remains indefinitely. The only remedy is to restart the set manually and then it works fine for few hours. I have changed this cell ones but experiencing same issue with second set too. Anyone knows what this problem is, is this a common issue? please reply i can still change this cell within 3 days.

  • The only way I was able to do it was to reset the phone settings.. lol.. that sucks.. I have everything stored on my memory card anyway though.. good luck

  • so it have built in GPS???? what program i can use to get the NAV function??

  • amAze GPS works great

  • I would like to add, I love this phone because of the style and unlike the Iphone or Prade... the behold is easier to text with... you can feel that you touched it because it kinda vibrated when you touch the virtual keyboards... the camera is awesome! its clear and crisp. Lighting is so bright and great... louder than my sis prada phone. the game is alright... don't like to play game much on my celly. Ditched my blackberry for this phone... texting, like sending messages will take up more pages than the blackberries... since I have long nails its fun to pressure touch it with my nails... It doesn't use heating touch sensitivity like regular touchscreens... this phone is best for those that doesn't text alot and loves fashion! I really love my BEHOLD... the envy of all my gfs :D

  • I am having problems with the bluetooth too! and I know what your talking about when you take the pictures.... ehh... I still love my pink BEHOLD! Plays music loud and cute :D

  • I Can't delete my "recent recipients" either... I'm about to throw this phone out the window!! everytime I e-mail a picture I have to go through all of the other e-mail addresses and random numbers that this stupid phone has decided to save in that outbox.. If anyone know's how to figure this out please reply :)

  • Once thing that I noticed on the phone was when you take a picture, it snaps the picture and then slightly flushes it out which makes it look like crap. Is anyone having the same problem or is it just my phone?

  • oh hey my bluetooth doesnt work, is any one else having the same problem???

  • ok so im still confuse on how to delete the message recipients. am i the only person who doesn't kno how to delete it??? i kno how to delete messages butt not the recipients.

  • got to get my hands on this wonderful phone, and its amazing,it competes real well with the high end touchscreen phones out there. Has a crystal clear high quality camera with nice flash and many settings on it and a great video recorder. MP3 player is great with loud sound quality.call quality and speakerphone is loud and clear and decent. Overall nice phone and highly recomend!

  • how unlock behold can some one show me

  • what is the different between secondary videocall camera & secondary videocall VGA camera?

  • hey i had the da same problem for mine how do i fix that?? itsw like in red letters right?

  • No wi-fi that sucks!!!

  • I love this phone to death. Problems no wi-fi capability no internal radio audio jack is a samsung so you can't use just regular headphones. besides that it's does everything I need it to.

  • Did yall go to the t mobile store to ask bout your phone problems?

  • jeeeeeeeeeeez also, go to this site, it has EVERYTHING. my goddd.

  • Im not having any problems with my Samsung behold at all. This is actually the only phone ive had that hasnt broken on me yet. I recieve emails immediatly, The ringtones are loud, Even when i use my own MP3 ringtones ive put on it. I have no sound problems, my service is great. Like others have said, The background issue when you put it on lock, It will be fixed give it a few more weeks.

  • What is the 8 digit unlocking code for this fone? Plz tell meeeee@

  • I ordered this phone the day it was launched with T- Mobile. From day one hated it. Every once in a while it would sound like a robot speaking. Not even close to the i phone or the Samsung Instinct. i returned it back the next week. You ll like this phone if you have to have a touchscreen phone. Touch Screen: Touch w/ Feedback but slow to operate. Camera: Takes greenish pictures. There are better phones out there with less Mega pixels. T-mobile 3G network sucks so not reccommended. No FM Radio Overall Not recommended...

  • thanks Yasir, your review was very helpful and i have just ordered my samsung behold.

  • it is a stupid design coz it has no Wlan ??? yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy samsung???

  • ive had brand new for 2 days and its acting up when i plugged in charger the loading behold screen repeatdly kept restarting and then this message appears now DEMSBL BOOT Loader for msm6290 more than downloader v5.43 help any1?

  • ive had brand new for 2 days and its acting up when i plugged in charger the loading behold screen repeatdly kept restarting and then this message appears now

  • My Apple computer used bluetooth to transfer the songs to my phone.

  • Ringtones and alerts on this phone fade in before reaching full volume. If your text message alert is less than 3 seconds you won't hear it. The only way to fix it is to edit your alert sounds so there is a 3-4 second bit of silence before the actual sound.

  • what progam i need to comvert videos for behold

  • the best thing about the phone is its bluetooth printing capabilities. You can take a picture and print it no wires necessary but you must own a printer with the bluetooth fuctionality

  • i love my behold but sumtimes when i hit the back button the phone shuts off snd goes to a behold loadingscreens .... it bascially rebooots but other than that i love it

  • hey did you ever figure out how to delete message recipients? cuz i need to figure it out too..

  • Have you perhaps thought of buying an adapter?

  • badddddddddddddddddddddddddd

  • To download music u may use "Samsung PC Studio 3" from the samsung.com. Or with the SD card pluged in change options for USB:"Menu"-"Setting"-"Phone setting"-on a bottom touch "USB setting" chooce "Mass storage",then touch "Save". Connect to PC and it will be work same like Standard memory card.

  • my behold is acting up it does the BEHOLD loading page than says the world at your fingertips, then keeps repeating that till you take the battery out so i held down the volume buttons and the call and end buttons all at the same time, NOW it says DEMSBL BOOT loader for MSM6290 more than downloader V5.43 what do i do to fix it?

  • I have read reviews and searched on youtube about BEHOLD. also goto local tmobile store and play with it to get the feel... Now i own it and very happy with the phone...I just want to share hands on experience as some ppl would be strugling to find out as i was 2wks ago. Hope it helps =====REVIEW======= text msgng--- easy and great! camera------- Probably the best than any other phone. wiFi-------- No but can check yahoo mail,sports news,cnn news (limited) for free 3g net plan-- capable, but i don't have it (no comment) touchscreen--- user-friendly and easy battery life--- very satisfactory sound quality---better than older samsung phones FM/Radio----- haven't discovered yet. if any one find out please share. (with other ppl reviews, it seems like Behold doesn't support FM/Radio) ------------CONS------ No Windows operating system No FM/radio?? No WiFi _____________________ This phone is definitely recommendable... I am very happy with this phone and still discovering....

  • Yes the Tzones works perfectly and you even get 3G speed where available. Do not get a new data plan! btw...i'm posting this via my behold. Love it!

  • I've had this phone for about a week and i absolutely love it. i would only like to know if it has a FM Radio and if it does i would really like to know how to get it. do i have to download something? or will it come later in time with a software update. .... help please! does anyone have any information on this matter??? THANK YOU!!!

  • its jus cool

  • To remove the mini music player from the screen, open the widget side bar, touch and hold on the mini player and drag it back into the sidebar. You can pull any of the widgets off the sidebar and onto the screen.

  • how do i download songs on my Samsung T919 Behold?

  • I got mine a week ago. Style and respond to touch is nice. T-Mobile is again restricting you to download larger files with their shitty browser. You cannot open hotmail not even mobile version. Its operating system is knows as proprietary which means you cannot install or modify its settings. I cannot even download google maps for it. Looks and style is good but productivity is very low.

  • DId you ever get an answer? im having the same problem

  • Purchased Behold yesterday! So far I love it! Great features, have an option to sign up for data service or not to. I love the screen, responds great to touch. MP3 player is great. The only negative side is that it doensn't have the regular 3 mm headphone jack.

  • go to Settings phone setting USB setting check Mass storage and save This allows your computer to see your phone as a storage drive for the memory disk

  • how do you even get radio on to your phone????????? and uhhh still need help trying to delete the recipients thanks.

  • hey! everytime i try and download music onto mi fone it says that i need a cd rom to finish the process of downloading the application onto mi computer..i need help wat do i do?

  • helo help my no locking for fm radio thanks

  • Got this phone last week and i just love it..........

  • can you change the display screen color? Every other phone Ive had could do that, now I dont know how to do it for this one... I love the nehold tho.

  • To remove the mini music player from the screen, open the widget side bar, touch and hold on the mini player and drag it back into the sidebar. You can pull any of the widgets off the sidebar and onto the screen.

  • go to meassages and choose which selection you which selection you want to delete and then you should know what to do after that

  • does anyone know how to delete message recipients on the behold?

  • very simple. jus pass the side key, + or - button. :)

  • I just bought this phone last week. I was playing with the music player today and did something that put a mini music player on the display screen. I reset my display settings and reset the phone but it won't go away. How do I get the mini player off the main display?? Anyone? Please help me. Post here or email me at [email protected].

  • i want this hand set should i buy it should i get it its looks good what to do i am from trinidad.

  • how do you put songs on my samsung behold

  • menu...settings...sound profiles, select one of those, then at the top of the phone is a drop down box reading call, select that then select message...go to message alert tone and take it from there buddy

  • i just got the 9.99/month data plan with 100mb. it's not bad actually.

  • best phone ever

  • Does the 5.99 tzones really work? Every tmobile person I talk to says it will not work. I would love this phone but not the expensive data plan. I have the 5.99 tzones and plan on hanging on to it since they are not offering it any more. Thanks.

  • got this phone like 2 weeks ago ...Nice design but no stylus....hard to play game with it...

  • Can anyone tell me how to silence the keypad on this phone? Thanks!

  • how do you change the message to to a ringtone????

  • you use your scroll buttons on the left side of the phones. the same ones used to control call volumes.

  • just got the behold a week ago and so far i still like it, HOWEVER, it doesnt do a whole lot more than eny regular phone does woith out the internet. so i called tmobile and tried to get the $9.99/50MB internet plan and was told that i cant use it with my behold. They said the same about the $19.99/100MB plan and said that the $5.99 T-zones plan doesnt even exist anymore so my only other option is to get unlimited for $24.99...that the reason i didnt get a G1, b/c i didnt want to have to pay for an expensive internet plan. does anybody else get internet w/tmo 4 behold for cheaper than $24.99??

  • this phone is nice im definitely gettin it 4 christmas... it has a radio i didnt even kno that at first... in the end the phone is slick

  • Bought my girlfriend this phone a week ago and have been helping her operate/customize it. It's nice, although the interface will probably get boring rather quickly. There's not much to do on it since T-Mobile doesn't have their 3G network up and running in our area (southeast Alabama) and since this phone can't use wi-fi. If it could, this phone would actually be rivaling the G1, which is why, I hear, wi-fi was exluded. The touch-screen is fairly responsive, and you can customize just about every alert. One major drawback for her is the lack of thread messaging since she upgraded from a blackberry. All in all, no issues yet, although the phone locks fairly quickly when not in use (like 10-20 seconds). Would reccomend as long as the interface doesn't start slowing up.

  • pixels dont say anything about size...

  • Just played with one today at the T-Mo store. The screen seems taller than 320px... like 400x240. Must be an optical illusion.

  • this phone is ok but gets boring fast. i would reccommend the camera when you take out the sd and tranfer them to photos. all in all great phone

  • RE: Games & FM Tuner Any good location to download Games? Has anyone had luck with the FM Tuner? Is T-Mobile being an As*hole and blocking this service & WiFi too?

  • please can anyone tell me where can i download games for this phone

  • I've downloaded my own mp3/song and set it as a message tone and the volume has changed tremendously.

  • I had that same problem and did not like the phone. I exchanged it for a Motorola ZN5.

  • No WiFi,,, Sucks ... its like old technology ,,,

  • If your NOT in the states (no T-mobile) and you want this phone for using "the net" then this phone is useless (unless you have UTMS 1700 in your country). I'm really unhappy that they improve on the F480 and only then release this to the states. If you want it for standard 2G network activity, then this is a great phone, however in this day and age, phones should have the flexibility to upgrade to later networks. (not just a single network.) iphone has multiple 3G bands.

  • I understand t-mobile has locked out the FM radio I have looked on Samsung and Tmobile sites and they do not discuss the radio at all.

  • I am having a problem hearing my text messaging alert. I keep the volume up to the max (7) but when I get a message it is almost inaudible. Anybody else with this problem?

  • First 3g phone by tmobile in US is the SE TM506

  • is this fone capable of using themes like nokia?....Thats the only thing stoppin me frm buying!..i NEED TO KNOW!!!....plz...lol!

  • Great camera, screen resolution is terrible for a 3" touchscreen, but i think that its the 1st phone that supports 3G for T-mobile in the US, its about time T-mobile!

  • Have you tried playing with Settings -> Display Settings?

  • How do we Access the FM Tuner on this phone? Do we need yet another download?

  • how come my backlight won't go off? it'll dim after a second or two of not touching the screen but the backlight won't go out =( help!

  • The reason that it doesn't have wifi is bcuz market reasoning. T-mobile doesn't want let behold kill g1. If behold gets it..then g1 loses 4sure.

  • you can change the text size in a message by using the volume button

  • I bought the samsung behold yesterday and was exploring it the whole night. It's a very nice phone, vibrant screen, easy to use virtual qwerty keyboard. something vibrates when you touch the screen and very responsive. I don't care no wifi. the camera is 5 mp but not really that good - i don't care either coz i have a digicam, I just need a phone and this one is really good. My phone is color pink and I love it! Go SAMSUNG! I used to be a NOKIA fan.

  • Something was wrong with your phone. I've had my phone for a little over a week and have only had to charge it every other day. Daily phone calls lasting up to an hour each, barely deplete my battery. I've taken many pictures and videos at different resolutions and have gone online with no problem at all. I have nearly half a gig of songs saved on the phone and still, there is no problem. So either my phone is perfect or yours was faulty.

  • Does anyone know how to change the text size in the Inbox, where you're actually reading the text message? The text size on my messages changed out of nowhere and is now huge...I want it smaller, but I can't figure out how it got changed or more importantly how to switch it back.

  • I've had this phone for a week, and the battery life is perfectly fine (even when using internet, sms, music, calls, etc.) Just charge your phones people and stop complaining. There's really nothing wrong with this phone. Everyone is complaining that there is no WIFI, but you don't even need that. You can have unlimited internet access with the $5.99 t-zones plan (that's what I have) and the 3G network is pretty good on T-mobile. I haven't had any trouble accessing the internet (I'm in NY) The camera takes great quality pictures, although it does take about 2 seconds to shoot the picture (but who cares? be patient .. don't buy this PHONE if you're a professional photographer, get a CAMERA!) It's definetely worth the money ($149 with 2 year contract upgrade)

  • what is wifi ? and what is the advantage of this feature . i'm trying to buy a phone but i like this one ( the espresso) and the (motorola zine) . what do you people thinl , which one is better than the other ?

  • General Comments: Battery Life: Not sure how you guys are using your phones, but my phone lasts me 2-3 days on a single charge (no internet) with regular phone/SMS/Music use. Music: If you simply copy and Paste music into your Music folder on the phone, how will this create a dupe??? You must be doing something wrong. I have had Flawless operation with music & 3GP videos. Camera: 5MPs, quality better than a 3MP camera on iPhone, but let not forget, this is a camera on a PHONE... it realy doesnt get any better, unless you buy a bulcky Nokea, which is a camera, which also makes calls. Text Messages are great, love the touchscreen, was able to pickup using the Virtual keyboard very quickly.

  • TXT is great, even better than iPhone..the worst thing is battery life and no wifi. I used it for 2 weeks now..thinking of return to tmobile.

  • This phone sucks.. its been 5 days since i purchased the phone initially.. ive gone thru 2 Samsung Behold... they drop signal around the 2nd day and cannot pick it back up.. listen closely... DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.. Looks great.. has some good features.. overall decent unless you plan on talking on it... Would love to throw this phone on the ground and jump up and down on it.. but i gotta get my money back.. MY G1 IS ON THE WAY...

  • this phone sucks.. its been 5 days since i purchased the phone initially.. ive gone thru 2 samsung beholds they drop signal around the 2nd day and cannot pick it back up.. listen closely do not buy this phone.. looks great.. has some good features.. overall decent unless you plan on talking on it.. would love to throw this phone on the ground and jump up and down on it.. but i gotta get my money back.. my g1 is on the way...

  • I returned this phone today to T-Mobile cuz the camera sux. Battery life is short. (this is without using internet, w/o bluetooth, and taking maybe 2 pictures) The wallpapers are bad. When you install songs on the fone it creates duplicates. (maybe this is because i didnt use PC Studio)

  • ppl who own this phone how would you rate phones' txt msg battery life speaker phone and ringing volume

  • dear u mentioned about thread messaging...means we can not send one message to multiple numbers at a time??

  • Ok bro that didn't come to my attention as I have no issues getting a new contract. Even then the price is $399 not $425. And BTW I have never said no one will buy it. I knew there are few alternatives. I'm waiting for AT&T to release Omnia as well.

  • Maybe you should do some thinking before posting. The price of the phone is 425, but the phone is not even unlocked yet. But you can buy the phone by itself, locked to TMo, for 425. Now you ask what is the point in that? The point is for the TMobile customers who already have an ongoing contract but do not want to sign on a new one. These people would not be eligible for the rebates, and that is why they would be paying full price. I think YOU are the one that needs to do some research. And don't talk about how no one would buy it cause it's been flying off of shelves since it's the only alternative to the G1 and the SE TM506 (the only TMo phones that have 3g so far).

  • samsung tocco in UK

  • The camera on this fone aint got nothing on the ZN5 camera!

  • Dear Genius. Could you tell me why I would need it unlocked in US? This will work with AT&T. YES it will. But HSDPA/3G will NOT work. 1700mzh is for T-Mobile only. If I really need it to use with other carriers I would simply call t-mobile and they will unlock it for me after 6 months in anyway. They are bound to. If I'm that desperate that I need the behold WITHOUT the 3g to work on AT&T I would rather get Samsung F480 aka Tocco for $309-$370 from Plemix. Its the same phone with 2100mzh HSDPA. Why would I have to pay $425 to get a unlocked behold? For what? Please do some reserach before posting.

  • i come on this website all the time to see new and upcoming phones and i had to get this phone after i saw tmobile wuz releasing sumthing worth payin for. I jus got the phone this past week and havent been able to put it down yet. The touch screen is quick and responsive. I love the screen rotation feature since i text all the time. The internet connectivity is pretty quick. The pix frm the camera are really crisp and clear. The only problem i had is with the PC Suite but thankfully i jus used the microSD adapter on my computer instead. The one and only complaint i have is that the speaker is so low. Most of the time i cant even hear it ringing. Other than that the phone is worth it i would say

  • great phone does every thing a phone needs to do.Perfect size,camera is all that,and touch is very responsive!cant go wrong with this phone.love it!!!

  • I don't see the big deal with it not having WiFi. There are only a handful of phones from US carriers that have that feature anyways. The T919 is a great phone, I just bought one for my brother, the touch screen is very good, and i'm not really big on those anyways cept for the ones on smart phones like the new treos. This is a very good phone for its price i think. Its not really my style I love my INNOV8, but the T919's 3G works just fine for the phone. WiFi should only be one more business type phones anyways, the everyday user like the lil feature freaks, will probably never use it. The Samsung T919 Behold is an excellent phone and i'm very please with it so far.

  • I just received this phone in the mail 2 days ago, and I haven't been able to put it down. It's a great quality phone and feels excellent in the hand. The touch screen IS responsive, however the touch needs a little more pressure than the iphone for instance. The qwerty keyboard is also very easy to do because it provides vibration feedback. The "full html" is actually formatted to fit on the phone so that you only have to scroll up and down to view web pages, which I actually enjoyed. So far my only complaints are that there isn't "thread messaging", instead it's just individual sms each time, but I can live with that. Also, my old phone was capable of writing in many other languages, this one only has English or Spanish. The internet is actually pretty fast. Compared to the Iphone 3G, it's a little slower, maybe about 3 seconds slower. But hopefully t-mobile will improve the 3g network. The camera is really great and so is the picture quality. I don't really have anything negative to say. I definitely think it's worth the money (i paid $149 with a 2 year extended contract upgrade).

  • Apparently you are the one that don't know much about phones cause it may be 149 with a contract but it's 425 without one. Genius.

  • You simply proved that you know nothing about this device. If you are in US why you have to pay $425. This is for T-Mobile. It costs $149 with contract. being said that I hardly think you have seen this device working.

  • does anyone know where to go and download application or games for this device??? please psot fast if you know and yeah how do you install them

  • the battery life sucks doesnt last more than a few hrs and thats not using it much. i have had it for 9 days!!the keypad is awesone but the web brow or ck aol sucks!!takes forever to connect..this is all true..

  • Who says the touchscreen is poor? I bought this phone about a week ago and everything has worked great on it so far. I'm an avid texter and so I use the touchscreen a lot more than someone who doesn't text. I need it to be as accurate as possible and it is. The only thing I'd have to complain about is how they try to tie internet into everything, which I don't use on phones, but I suppose that's normal for any cell phone company. Awesome phone, looks sharp, gets attention, functions great.

  • I have had the behold for about 16 hours. I like that it is not heavy like the G1 and you dont have to pay for internet service to use the IM. I dont like scolling the left side of menu of the home screen because i always seem to enter an application that i did not intend on using. Hopefully the battery last me the whole day. This phone will do until February when the Nokia 5800 is available.

  • To the post with Bluetooth issues. This has happened to previous Samsung phones I've had. Hope you already figured it out, but just turn it off and turn it back on then it should allow you to enable the Bluetooth. It's some software glitch.

  • Dude, Chilax. It's a handset, not a data device. There are features in the ui that will be simpler than the iphone or or htc touch, etc. Don't be such a negative Nancy.

  • i actually have this phone and the touch screen is better then the g1. not only is it faster but the size makes it alot easier to handle. So how about next time you get the phone before you make comments about it

  • good try by t-mobile but the touch screen is very poor to usa and the phone volume is very low not a good phone to invest in 425 dollors

  • i like it

  • RE: Issues with SYNCING using PC Suite I did that too... still wouldn't connect... weird... I would plug the phone in... get the prompt to make a selection... i would select "PC Suite"... Open PC Suite on computer Desktop... and phone would not be Connected. I would try to click CONNECT in PC Suite, still would not connect.. am at a loss

  • When I have PC Suite open I go to "File", "Connection", "Connect".

  • I did change the option to "Ask at Connection" Mass Storage or PC Suite... even after the change, PC Suite still didnt recognize the phone as "Connected"... thinkin gi may need to re-install the app

  • I downloaded that exact App from Samsung... The tricky part was to figure out for Data Transfers to shut down the phone. However On or Off, the PC Suite did not see my phone as "Connected". I was able to do Data Transfers to the phone, which is weird, but not Sync. I think it maybe a Software/App issue. I tried to re-boot both the computer and phone... nothing. I did notice something weird tho... U know how you hear a USB connection sound, when connecting an iPod, Flash Drive etc.... in my case the Connection sound was double "ding" not single... dont know if this means anything.... Ideas or other Apps i can try?

  • Did you download this? I can connect with no problem. I have my USB setting at "Ask on connection".

  • Has anyone had luck with Syncing the phone to Outlook Contacts/Calendar? T-Mobile did not provide a Sync App with the Phone, however Samsung has something on their site. I was able to do Data Transfers (simply COPY & PASTE) but the App does not Recognize the phone as "Connected to PC" for SYNC purposes... Advise? Other Apps out there?

  • Haha this phone has already been released. And has: 5 hours talk time 12 hours standby time.

  • no because it has so many features to it hey didnt want to have wifi. it comes with 3G,5 mega pixels, touch screen,sms mms, and picture-messages. but duh its sleek and its like the g1 except it has built in qwerty screen and the behold has qwerty touch screen. get ur facts straight

  • Why did you buy it in the fisrt place then. Isnt it stupid to say that suddenly you released it doesn't have WiFi and carying it's unacceptable? It's T-mobile. These carriers are to blame for depriving people from new technologies. You have to use their data plan to use internet. US market is still happy with old 3mp cam. If you fancy for features why don't you buy one unlocked phone. There are many sites for that.

  • agreed..what the heck is Samsung thinking? no wifi? I have it..love the phone features, but still..no wifi with this fone is unacceptable

  • I don't have 3G where I live, my battery gives me about 2 1/2 days. That's with web browsing.

  • Lol this phone sucks ass. why the hell didn`t they design it with wifi ? i wouldn`t buy it. maybe for 10 bucks

  • i have the behold, super nice phone but battery life seems to go down pretty fast, just wondering if you can turn off the 3g, i dont have the data plan so is there a way to turn it off, i heard 3g kills your battery

  • I don't understand why people hate the web browser, Yes I have used Safari on the iphone. Netfont isn't as bad as people are making it seem. I have not had any issues with Netfront.

  • hate the colors available with this phone. wonder if they'll release more classic colors...like black and silver.

  • If your looking for a internet device nothing beats iphone thus far...i got the behold a 5 days ago and i dont even use the internet feature it totally sucks!!! I also had the g1 and its awesome on the internet but lacks any style and is too heavy and bulky and awkward to use and has a horrrific battery life The bohld for the prive tho makes a great cell phone and if you text alot is awesome the virtual keyboard is much better than iphone the size is small and easy to slide in a small pocket So if your looking for web surfing this phone isnt for you but if you want a nice looking texting device id say for $149 isnt bad at all OH also the battery is not too bad if you arent on web or checking you email alot it last days much better than most touchscreen devices.. thanks

  • can anyone tell me how to activate the bluetooth? When i press the button to turn it on, the screen says "activating bluetooth" for like 5 min and nothing happens

  • I can't see pictures...ARGH!!!

  • For those of you disappointed with samsung about the lack of wifi, blame t-mobile not samsung. T-mobile did not want to include wifi because they want you to aquire internet through their data plan only.

  • its for t mobile go to yahoo awnsers they help or utube theres some vids out

  • This phone does not have themes which sucks because usually samsung will put some kind of themes on a device. It has vibration feed back for button pressing, the 3g is great but the web browsing isn't G1 or iPhone like. The camera, of course, is the 5.0 which takes great pictures with audio post cards and more. There is no wi-fi which really stinks! NEED WIFI SAMSUNG! (but why when the device's internet leaves much to imagine.) Sound on it is fantastic although the ring tones aren't too loud. Weird fact, when the phone is locked it cycles through the wallpapers and that can't be avoided so far. All in all, good basic phone. NOT A DATA PHONE.

  • Yes, actually it is a full touch qwerty keypad like the iphone. I've played with one, call it a perk of the job!

  • it's nice so far but what is lame is that you cannot turn off the shutter sound on the camera

  • how do you start FM radio?

  • Does this have themes or something? I know it's not a Nokia, but if I'm not mistaken, some Samsung's DO have themes .. That you can download and use on your phone.

  • this is exactly the same as the lg cookie!

  • I also need to correct the Phonebook specs. The Phonebook will hold 2000 entries, not 1000.

  • The battery has a good life. I wasn't able to charge last night (wasn't home). I used the the phone as I normally would including using the web browser. The battery held up for two days. Although the GPS program (TeleNav) sucks.

  • It can actually support upto 16GB of Flash SD Card not 8GB...

  • No wifi, why is Samsung so retarded.

  • Very nice phone, picked up 2 of them yesterday. Easy to use and smaller than the iphone. All it needs is Wifi!

  • the only reason i didn't get this phone is that it doesn't have WiFi.

  • If anyone's wondering, YES it CAN play youtube! Proof:

  • Thank you so much!

  • What did u hear about the web browser? Does anyone know about the battery life from hands on experience?

  • The gps feature more than likely is listed under applications under "Telenav" or "navigation". I know it has this feature cuz i just got home from store and was playing with it.

  • U do not need the internet to do gps. You pay t-mobile 9.99/month and u then have gps. The first 14 days of gps "might" be free.

  • Ah i was going to get this phone until i heard about the web browser :/

  • It says built in GPS? how do you work it? Do you need internet to use it?

  • no, its a touch screen "qwerty" keyboard like the iphone

  • its it a slidephone...like do u slide it for the keyboard or its all touch?

  • no wifi?

  • This phone is not really new. It's pretty much identical to the F480, except for the different network frequencies.

  • wow

  • mmmmmm samsung churned out another phone... top marks for not spending much money on R&D. Not really pushing things forwards.... :( Shame really when the f480 was a great phone

  • I was at T-mo store today and tried this phone. Comparing it to the iPhone, the operation of the touch screen was not as smooth, also I had to play with it around to get used to the way its screen works. It looks like a decent phone and is worth trying, camera was fine, I would buy it if I did not have the great Nokia 3120 classic.

  • I had a hands on experience with this phone, and I must say it impressed me very much. The camera is incredible and the touchscreen is awesome. It also cooked me breakfast. Ultimate pen 15 club experience.

  • it's 2008, but the phone has no WiFi???what they were thinking, almost bought it today before I've read about no wifi, almost a perfect phone, almost...

  • just got this phone today....I LOVE IT...it is really fast and a perfect size...i was debating between getting this and the G1...the G1 is a brick compared to this phone...the rep. also told another customer that the G1 cannot be unlocked and this phone can be unlocked...

  • Can SOMEONE please make a video? There's nothing! Other than phonedog..

  • ive seen the phone also. It has auto accelerometer for auto rotation. A 3inch screen. Gsmarena has some facts wrong. They should see the phone first.

  • Well, I just found this and will give it a try later when I have time. I have changed settings in the past on other phones, so I am not a noob to this. Use at your own discretion. I am not held responsible.

  • Display resolution will be 240x400 px, not 320.

  • Hey, I just tested the phone at my local Tmobile store and it can play youtube video. From what I've seen though, it doesn't take up the whole screen but you can scale it to 1x the normal size which isn't very much but it can play youtube videos.

  • this camera is not as good at the motorola zn5 camera. i compared both today at the t-mobile store

  • i think this phon is awesome am with a rep right now with t mobile and apparently this phone does have fm radio,, but the phone has it but t mobile doesnt include the fm radio on this phone, so i dont understand that?? can anyone explain that to me please/?

  • Does ANYONE have a video of this phone in action yet? (besides phonedog) I have to know if this phone really is capable of viewing youtube.

  • Behold for #8 Samsung phone that looks like an iphone! p.s features are a big doo-doo

  • camera: excellent UI: intuitive enough My last phone was the SGH-U700, and this feels like a nice step up. You can assign mp3 to text messages, which is nice, and when you plug it into a computer, it shows up as a mass device. I'm happy with it.

  • the phone was released at 10 am this morning

  • How did those of you who have the phone get it before ther realease.

  • 256k on 2.8 screen? not impressive at all. also not all java apps will work with this phone because t-mobile blocked.

  • I got it this morning and so far I love it. I haven't had time to use the web browser yet because of school work and class later tonight. I was wrong about the front video calling camera. I really don't think that it has one. I haven't used the 5 MP camera yet either. Just phone calls, texting and I put a song on to see how loud the speaker is. It is nice and loud. I will give a review on the phone about a week from now to give me time to use it. Right now I LOVE IT ! !

  • The motorola zn5 thru t-mobile has a 5 meg camerea with xenon flash.

  • This is a T-Mobile phone if i'm not mistaken. This will be a big step for them if this comes out first because there isn't a single phone that you can buy from a carrier here in the US that has a camera that strong. I mean my old D900, has better picture quality then almost everything on the market here. This thing is almost identical to the F480, it pretty much is.

  • HSDPA is basially 3.5G. and 1700 is Tmobiles 3G band

  • HSDPA 1700.. ??? What is that?

  • I believe it's T-mobile who came up with this name, not samsung.

  • Will the Korean companies stop using these stupid and gimmicky names? They hardly impress.

  • samsung is a realy good company this phone did have wifi on it but tmo wanted to add data plan on this device as well like G1 but samsung said no so tmo asked them to get rid of wifi so ppl who want to surf web will be force to get their data plan so now you tell me isnt samsung thinking about its customer so whos better iphone or samsung

  • people are just blinded by iphone but they dont see that they pay only 149 for this phone and 299 for i phone + a previous samsung model called toco got a rating of 8.3 straight and has same function and same design so i just dont understand how they rate it. Tell you the truth this phone is really good

  • Had a chance to use it at work. Its so/so. This phone has a WQVGA screen, 240 x 400 pixels. T-Mobile has dummed down the browser and Tmo blocks 3rd party java apps (ie: opera mini/ google maps) from using data.

  • Ratings (audaciously poor ones at that) already on a phone not one of you owns or has even used? Pull your heads in. You can'e read a vague spec sheet look at a photo and already have a fully fomed opinion and feel that you deserve to give a user rating! BS! does anyone on this forum actually own or use any of these phones or is it all pure speculation?

  • first of all ..wOw a 6.3 across the board. sounds poor. DOes anyone have this phone in there hands yet? i would like to hear a hands on opinion. From what i see its not bad on weight.

  • I am going off of specs that I have read. Well, I will be getting it tomorrow and will let you know about it from hands on.

  • And where do you see the camera? AFAIK, that is NOT a camera for video calling.

  • Agree. F480 anyday...

  • good mobile but not wonderful screen and camera .... sony ericsson try too bild 20 mpx camera

  • Behold for #8 Samsung phone that looks like an iphone! p.s are you scared yet?

  • I'm so not crazy about this phone. 256K colors, 240x320 display??? ummmmmmmmmm its 2008 not 1998 ok?

  • this is a bit modded version of samsung F480....only added GPS and some other things... shape is all the same

  • People! Before complain consider the price! 200USD not bad! :))))

  • I have the Samsung F480/ Tocco and honestly, whats the difference? they're basicaly the same except the colors and the ui is reversed. no comparison at all. i'll stick to my unlocked f480 than a company t-mobile...

  • the phone looks prettye decent according to phonedog's review but i don't know why it only has like 6.0 voting results....

  • 256k colors? pff...

  • 256k colors?? pfff...

  • It does have video calling, that's what the front camera is for.

  • The Samsung Behold is 3G enabled with HSDPA support and as a result has the added videocall feature.

  • ill prefer the apple iphone 3g than this phone but this phone is still good cause it has a 5 mp camera

  • again no wi fi?!!!!! the same pixxon mistake!!!!!

  • is that like omnia or wht?

  • See!! Samsung comes up with new phones almost every week!! It's just amazing!!

  • So this phone is just a Tocco with a new UI? You cant compare the G1 internet device with a phone WITHOUT WIFI! Might aswell go elsewhere like i900

  • good phone the diadvantedges 1-no wifi 2-not symbian 3- no video call cam

  • I read the talk time is only 3 hours. :(

  • No its not black, they say the other color is espresso

  • No its not black, they say the other color is espresso

  • nice design, cool cam. but no wi-fi.

  • Why would you say that the f480 Tocco is better? This model has a revised UI from complaints on the Tocco's UI.

  • F480 is still better. Samsung should have added WiFi to this mobile so it would have an edge over the other promising touchscreens they just released.

  • But, Some don't like to have to be forced to type on a QWERTY keyboard because you have to use two hands. The t919 Behold gives you the option on texting on a virtual touch numeric keypad. I personally don't want the G1 because it forces me to use a QWERTY board. The t919 Behold solves all of my dislikes concerning all other full touchscreen phones. I can't wait to get it Monday morning, I have even already ordered accessories for it. I will give my review on it after my use of it.

  • no wifi..what the hell

  • This phone is nice 2 look @ but the web browser is a letdown. The G1 doesn't look as nice but the G1 web will destroy this thing. Camera seems decent tho

  • Any Tocco users still appreciate theirs over this Behold?? At least we have ours in a luxurious black. ;)

  • I called T-Mobile, and they said the screen was 3.0". I'm pretty sure it is, since the f480 has a 2.8" screen, and the t919 was rumored to have a larger screen. And no Wi-Fi!? Lame.

  • HSDPA 1700.. no thanks.. and no wifi.

  • The Tocco didn't have WiFI either.

  • how can such a phone does not have WLAN? Comon samsung you can do better than that

  • You thing the consumers don�t want wi fi, 3g y spensive$$$$$ to use internet.

  • no wifi WTF... why would a new phone not include wifi...

  • no wifi and screen size is smaller 2.8 .Its a feature less phone

  • I tried yesterday at T-Mobile store. Is very good. I think is better than G1 cause G1 is all plastic but this one has metal. Available Monday. I gonna buy!

  • Prity nice samsung but n0 wifi (the next blue to0th) and n0 key bord (lot of peple dont like to type on a tuch screen) but its stil nice hope its going to be cheap

  • Samsung has taken Tocco added abit of gravy and ended up with Behold....

  • Whats the difference between this and tocco? No wifi :(

  • WOAH.. i am so waiting for it!! lol just looking around for touchscreen alternatives to Iphone..then i found THIS!

  • Sweet! I can't wait for this to come out! It comes in black, too, doesn't it?
