Is anyone here excited and waiting for the Samsung Behold II? Well, this new Android phone by Samsung is, according to the rumors, coming soon. I’m not very fond of the name, but hey, what can I do, maybe more of you do like that name. But this upcoming smartphone looks good on pictures and video, so we’ll have to wait and see if it will be good or not.
The Samsung Behold II will apparently have; a 3.2 inch AMOLED screen, with 5 megapixel camera and a cube with TouchWiz UI. To some people it looks a little like the Samsung “Galaxy”. But this Android phone will run Samsung’s own TouchWiz UI that allows for some decent multitasking. Apparently, the Samsung Behold II will be released on November 18th on T-Mobile, but there’s no word on price just yet.
Now apparently, this new Android smartphone by Samsung will launch with Android 1.5. Why in the world Samsung decided to do this? I have no idea. Many believe it will be until 2010 when the Samsung Behold II gets the update to Android 2.0. But lets forget a little about that, we’ll soon find out if the rumors on the launch date are true, meanwhile, enjoy the videos below.

Something to consider about phones with custom variants of Android on them: they won't ever be the first to get upgrades. This is just an exceptional case.
I'm also worried that they won't upgrade for a while, because it was just reported today that Samsung is working on a new mobile OS all their own. I'm really worried that this phone won't be upgraded, but at least there is the dev community.
i hope they saved a few cards up the sleeve to make it a little fancier inside. Even though i'm still considering this phone, i'll just have to see a side by side with the g1 and price comparision etc...

It's actually really fast, the only time I got a lag was swiping home screens because they all have different wallpapers and a big animation when swiping, the cube was pretty smooth, although I wouldn't see myself using it much.
