Samsung and T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) USA announced the second Behold all-touchscreen device. Unlike the original Behold, the second generation is not a feature phone. Rather it’s powered by Android, providing tons of new capabilities to its future users.
Specs wise, the Behold II comes with a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen (we’re not sure whether it’s capacitive or resistive), 5-megapixel camera with auto-focus and flash, aGPS, WiFi, 3G, 16GB of built-in storage, Bluetooth 2.1, Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Exchange support, voicemail, and so on. Samsung’s sexy TouchWIZ user interface is running the show on top of Android.
Availability and pricing information were not detailed. All we know is that the Behold II is “scheduled to launch before the start of the holidays,” meaning we’re talking weeks rather than months here. Stay tuned…

I am really looking forward to getting my Samsung Behold II in February. I am waiting for current 2 year stint to end to get a cheaper price. So far, this looks amazing. I have seen reviews with stock Behold II and look forward to chance to update to Android 2.0 if needed at all. Since it is a new phone, I would expect some hiccups to show, so hopefully I get a batch that has been revised at least once when I get mine. Looking forward to the unlimited possibilities it seems. Been using flip phones since 2006, have been wanting to add functionality for a long time. Does POP exist on these phones when used with WiFi? Also, have seen that 3G can’t be turned off, has anyone came with a way to fix this and make it more selective? For example, when at work, signal strengths aren’t that great, would rather use WiFi capabilities for any browsing or web related activity. Currently get with the Beat about 2 to 0 bars inside work, when I move around I do get better strengths. Share your opinions with me at http://www.Behold-Android.com a place only for Behold II owners
