Android - Samsung Behold 2 coming to Tmobile USA - G1 General

While on my regular Android research, I stumbled on this! Samsung Behold 2 This is supposed to be exclusive to T-mobile. It is about time T-mobile got another Android.........as the saying goes..variety is the spice of life I won't mind trying my hands on it. Please post any and all available info.......you may have.

Almost a month old news http://phandroid.com/2009/10/05/samsung-behold-2-t-mobile-android-with-touchwiz-ui/

AWESOME!! T-mobile needs way more android phones!

I assume no qwerty right? I think one keyboardless android phone is enough.

unless it has some kick a$$ specs or some kind of awsome selling point it looks like a dud. This phone has been already done. By the time it comes out, or soon after, the mytouch will already be $99

800 Mhz has been listed on some chinese sources specs. Probably will be confirmed soon. No word on Architecture though. Still, it will be the snappiest T-Mo device at the very least.

Next Android Phone w/ Physical Keyboard?

I had been under the impression that the Hero had a physical keyboard. Now that I know that it doesn't, has there been any word about a new Android phone with a physical keyboard?
ATT will be releasing the lancaster in the next few months.http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2009/05/24/htc-lancaster-is-a-qwerty-slider-with-android-for-atandt/

Samsung Bigfoot.
T-Mo needs another good HTC handset with a keyboard. The Dream is becoming old school more by the minute. I want something suitable to replace it once my contract's up, and I don't feel like hopping to AT&T. Not to mention that bordering keys on phones is bad for non-visual key identification, the Dream's separated keys help improve key identification without looking.
Well the G1 is turing into the Iphone. So I dont think it will be old school dead, just hope they keep upgrading it in a GOOD way. Adding a flash to the camera and keyboard support would be a good start... focusing on its linux backend is another, allowing for USB input devices would give it the win. Basic elements. Puddy to give it form, Duct Tape to bind it together, Caffinee to make it go. =)

Based on the specs, it seems like a downgrade. 4 row keyboard vs 5 row, QVGA vs HVGA, fixed focus camera vs auto-focus..

Good to know. Heh Its been debated G1 beats G2, and if G1 beats the ATT one.. so far Im thinking wise investment so far.
I do wonder about that Samsung Android tho..
Samsung is going to be releasing the I7500 Galaxy with 8GB of internal memory and a 3.2 AMOLED 16M Color screen. 5MP autofocus camera with a flash.
Motorola will be releasing some phones as well. Nothing much about them yet.
I remember reading on TmoNews a while ago that there is supposed to be a G1 v.2 late this year, I beleive it is a physical redesign to help its' looks.
Basically has anyone noticed the G1 really was built to last? I havent anything that scream "OMG I GOTTA UPGRADE TO THIS MODEL!" yet. G1 so far has outlasted iphones launch.. I mean soon as they got it, they came out with a 3g model. Something we already have.
Only thing to make G1 perfect. Add flash camera, more internal memory and hell, why not a linux-swap partition built in. =p
We definitely don't want swap. Just more RAM.
The RAM is fine. I wish they rebuilt the browser with the Native Developement Kit. That would probably solve most of the problems. Getting more PoP RAM is just not possible because MICRON has to get their lard asses and do it.
But since ARM architecture isn't their prime investment it'll be a while before we see anything.
I heard a few IRC members were doing the initial looks at hardware hacking. I don't know all the details but if anything we could definetly add flash to the camera if the genius IRC guys figure it out.
You could easily add an external flash via the serial port. It would, however, be somewhat bulky. If you build it in, then you need to butcher it. Either way, it seems perfectly pointless... its not a camera, its a phone/pda.

Lancaster = Serious Fail. The chip it uses does not include the ATI 3D acceleration that all the other Android Phones have.
It's like AT&T purposly wants Android to fail instead of releasing a real device.
Maybe Hero.
Rogers Dream on AT&T 3G is great.
-James
The 256MB ROM / 192MB RAM of the G1 is inadequate.
If they bumped it up to at least the 512MB ROM / 288MB RAM of the Canadian Magic and the Hero, bumped the camera to 5MP w/ a flash, and added a slightly larger battery, the G1 would be good for another couple of years. Just about everything else can be addressed in software.

faster processor and larger internal memory would be good then we could run the hero roms more efficiently lol.
I would believe ATT and Apple BOTH want it to fail.. afterall that market is about iphones. So ever other GSM is countering iphone with a better android. And isnt he soooo cute. ^^

Now what shall I pick ? (Purchasing tomorrow)

Hi all,
My G1 is slowly either outgrowing me or dying. I can't tell wether it is getting slower or if that is just me wanting something faster:/
Anyways, Im thinking of getting a new android phone But I don't know what to get...
Im stuck between the Motorola Milestone (DROID) and the Google Nexus One.
Those are the only two that I am considering, as in the UK there is only a £40 difference between the two...
So (Extremely nice community), What should I get ?

I am nearly in the same situation, i want to buy a new phone next week and the nexus one and the milestone are the phones that i am looking for.
I think i will get the milestone, i love the design (i think the "blockness" is really cool instead of this iPhone design), i think the keyboard isn't that bad and a hardware keyboard is a nice to have feature (it's the only reason i still have my G1).
For sure, the snapdragon is great, but i don't think that it is that much better then the 600mhz milestone processor...
But on the other hand the htc device will have support by the xda-devs... and that is definately the thing i don't want to miss.
1Ghz IS pretty much a big difference from 600mhz, thats almost twice as fast. Also Nexus One has an **AMAZING** Samsung AMOLED Display which is high res, and produces GREAT colors and contrast.
I desperately want a new phone too, and the Nexus would be my choice - if it had a proper, decent hardware keyboard. As it stands, the Nexus has no keyboard, and the Droid/Milestone has a sh*t keyboard. So I'm waiting for something else to come along...
Consider a new rom to speed up your G1 for the time being - I'm using Dwang at the moment.
I dont see the big deal about a hardware keyboard. I had a mytouch 3g and I didnt really like the smalle Virtual keyboard, but on the N1, the screen is HUGE! and the keys are so easy to press. I realize a HW Keyboard will always be more comfortable, but I dont see this as a reason by itself to not get a Nexus One.

I thought it was gonna be Nexus One or Xperia X10. but even if it was out i think i would still go with nexus one just because of my service provider. Nexus over Droid off of hardware specs.

You should wait though...The year just started!
Newer phones will be released mid-yearish~
Ex:
MT3G came out then cliq,hero,etc were released not to far after...Just wait like 3 months and they might have a faster phone than the Nexus.Maybe-Mybe not.

Personally I do not like the keybaord layout
From what I read its going to be pretty hard for them to push out a 1ghz processor on the mytouch slide as well.
It is going to be the 528mhz and 5 mp camera w/flash.
im mad all these new phones keep coming out, I had the G1 and I loved it, then the mytouch came out and I got that..THEN they basically said **** YOU and brought out another mytouch with a headphone jack! FML FML FML!
4 row keyboard = fail
There will ALWAYS be another phone. Just like mom said, "there are more fish in the sea". Be patient and buy a new phone for the features, not because it's the new one. If you don't like this one, just wait a few months and there will be another one.
I think a lot of rumors and speculations are being tossed around here.
After using the White myTouch Slide for a good bit I can confirm that it is most likely not using the same 528mhz processor as previously used in the myTouch 3G. Running 2.1 and HTC Sense UI alone can be a chore on the first myTouch and G1 but on this phone it ran like a dream (no pun intended). Tried to see if I could find lag within the launcher and had widgets on ALL home screens with no problems at all jumping from app to app or opening the app drawer. Speeds were comparable to the N1 although I doubt it has a 1ghz. Although the whole time I was playing with it I didn't think to confirm the processor speeds with any apps so I'll have to do that Monday or something.
Beautiful phone though and the 4 row keyboard is one of the nicest I've seen. The spacing on keys makes it so nice for texting/emailing. It will take some adjustments as do all new phones.
Definitely going to be my next purchase moving from the G1. Glad I held off on the HD2 and N1 as I enjoy the luxury of CHOOSING my keyboard preference.

here you go. I posted the full specs. In the myTouch section since it is the myTouch slide!
This was taken from someone who posted on another site but seems legit:
I work for T-Mobile and am supposed to be getting one of these soon as part of a MyTouch Champion promotion. I was also a a meeting this evening a rep had already received his, and from everything I see, it flat out flies! I know the processor isnt much of an increase, but HTC has done something right because the multitouch seemed really responsive and the new Sense looks clean. I was also told at the meeting that the processor is actually 700 MHz, not 600, so take it for what it’s worth, but I’ll be more than happy to post again once I receive mine.

They've already sent them out to employees in Las Vegas. Maybe even as long as a week ago. I read it somewhere not too long ago. They said they were impressed - but most of those gadget sites always rate something "good." It may look pretty, but that doesn't mean its a good phone. I'll be waiting for Google's next phone. Or another good HTC phone. No more in store phones for me. MyTouch/G1 was good - but they don't carry the actual GOOD phones. As I've said before (somewhere, lol): If HTC had the best phone on the market and released it to T-Mobile and T-Mobile locks it to their network only... well, thats just bad business. Think about how many more G1s would have sold if they released it for EVERY carrier.
P.S.: Is that keyboard italic? That's just tacky.
Liked it till I saw the keyboard. Too much going on. And what's with the funky g button?
I'll pass thank you...

Why not?
The layout is *correct*, which is NOT the case on ANY OTHER android phone except the DREAM.
You will note that the typical INCORRECT layout has the Q button directly above the A button, which is directly over the Z button. This INCORRECT layout is virtually useless since the buttons are in the WRONG PLACES!!!
The lack of the 5th row does not make the layout bad. The layout can be either correct or incorrect, and in this case, it is correct.

You may be confused by the fact that "G1" is ***NOT THE PRODUCT'S REAL NAME***, but they are MOST DEFINITELY available for ALL carriers with compatible frequencies. *** The one sold as ANDROID DEVELOPER PHONE 1 *** is NOT bootloader or sim locked, or, for that matter, even sold via carriers. Good for EVERY carrier!

Yes, yes. It's the dream. Sorry, I've read it a million times and I still forget - its a Dream. In the U.S., though, if you walk up to most people and say, "Nice Dream." they're going to be like wtf? I've never even heard of one called an Android Developer Phone One.

I agree. I don't really like the look of the phone if that's the final model. I like the design of the vibrant. One of the few things Samsung got right about the phone.

Holy ****, yeah, I would leave my Vibrant for that.
I personally find the squarish design quite sexy.
What's really crazy is that those specs mean it's better tricked out than 90% of netbooks out there.
Ill take the 4.3 inch screen. My sister has an evo and that her only form of braging right because the vibrant w/bionix smashes her's with a custom sense rom.
Plus the 2GHz
That thing is so fake(IMO) it would suck too because the first vibrant just came out. Why would they release it so soon?
That's an amazing device. I would do everything in my power to pick that up if Tmo gets it.

If true it would be nice. i do miss the HD2 size. For me a slightly larger screen would be nicer as I would like it to be more business friendly.

Samsung is the business of kicking out hardware for the android market right now and the primary reason software updates are taking a back seat. Samsung doesn't have resources to dedicate. Whatever software and/or hardware problems encountered, the customer will ultimately need to except partial operability. Samsung is on rise of becoming THE android manufacturer. This new device doesnt surprise me.

Dont hold your breath waiting this year for a nexus prime; I wouldn't expect that until next year some time. I think the photon, iphone 4s, htc kingdom, hero 4g, and some random wp7 mango phones are all thats coming out this year. At least that's the only phones we will care about lol. I cant prove this information im just stating rumors and info that leaked on other websites; it could all be false lol.
I dont know why but i have a weird feeling the sprint sgs2 is going to have a keyboard like the first galaxy did and the real galaxy s 2 (samsung within) is something entirely different.
FINALLY!
After almost three years of android phones, I'm bored as hell. Yeah my current G2x is near instant in almost every UI interaction, over 5000 quadrant, etc etc but Android itself is just boring at this point. I'm hoping something hardware wise can amaze me and renew my interest in Android, and I'm thinking the SAMOLED+ screen might be it.

I still have my 3D and yes im looking to sell it. Im currently in an htc arrive atm looking to purchase a better android device. I hate the 3D.
I wonder if this could be the 4.5" Hercules rumored for T-mobile, except for Sprint? Seeing as the dimensions are wider and taller than the international version. Could be just to make room for WiMax radios I guess.
So do you think we would be able to start using the custom ROMs that are already available for the international version when this one comes out?

Its hard to tell so early isnt it? probably could port. Idk man im stuck in a situation right now to even start thinking about that so early. I wanna sell my evo 3D, I still have my upgrade which means my contract is already expired, should I buy this with my upgrade? I planned on leaving sprint to get the iphone 5 so i dont know what to do! ahhh
I have upgrades available on two of my lines that I may be using if something truly intriguing comes out. After the track record that Samsung and Sprint have when it comes to system updates, I am probably not going for the SG2, as pretty and awesome as it is. I will see what comes out there.
Yea well cyanogen is already supporting the sgs2 or they have a couple and are developing cm for it I dunno I don't really keep up on it but it should be fully tweak able unlike the 3d(for now). I love my evo 4g but I think it's a good time to up my cores. Plus, HTC isn't earning any points by not sticking to their promises like releasing source code whenever they damn well please and the whole bootloader fiasco. All that just makes those samoled screens look even better. Wish they weren't all plastic but thats apparently how you have to make a thin phone. Just looks cheap for such an expensive piece of hardware.

Dont hold your breath waiting this year for a nexus prime; I wouldn't expect that until next year some time. I think the photon, iphone 4s, htc kingdom, hero 4g, and some random wp7 mango phones are all thats coming out this year. At least that's the only phones we will care about lol. I cant prove this information im just stating rumors and info that leaked on other websites; it could all be false lol.

Yeah, but at the same time Google has confirmed ICS for a Q4 release. And prime is supposed to be Google's first ICS phone....which I'm realizing now that doesn't mean the first ICS phone...just google's first.

Yeah the 3D is not my cup of tea either. Play around with it at the store and wasn't impress by it at all. Love my 4G but absolutely hate my video cam on it. Very very poor in low light (every custom rom available) compare to my Daughter's Epic and this SG2 which seem to probably be alot better then the 3D or any HTC in that department. So this might be my next phone as well if nothing else releases by then.

Yea well cyanogen is already supporting the sgs2 or they have a couple and are developing cm for it I dunno I don't really keep up on it but it should be fully tweak able unlike the 3d(for now). I love my evo 4g but I think it's a good time to up my cores.

Yeah dude thats one thing about that sgs2, that thing is fully plastic and super light weight. I really like the metal/heavy phones!!! I would be scared to keep that phone in my pocket because its so plastic thin.
