Samsung Behold from T-Mobile

T-Mobile’s Samsung Behold is now available in pink and “espresso” colours from T-Mobile, without so much as a press release. C’mon TMo, throw us a bone, here. Regardless, we’ve got a big ol’ roundup here of all the specs, videos, and pictures you need if you’re eyeballing the Samsung T919. With comparable stylings to the Omnia, the Behold won’t have any trouble finding a captive audience, it’s just a shame this thing is running a proprietary OS rather than Windows Mobile, or hey, even Android. Still, the draggable widgets and overall TouchWiz UI make for a pretty smooth experience. If you happen to be locked into another contract, AT&T is offering the nearly the same thing in the Samsung Eternity. If you’re ready to buy, the Samsung Behold is available for $149.99 on contract after rebates.

Hit the jump for full specs, pictures and videos of the Samsung Behold from T-Mobile!
