In this case the RAM is more important than the CPU. No matter what the CPU if there is not enough memory to hold apps etc. you’re in trouble and glitching.
The AMOLED screen is revolutionary however. Look up OLED. It also uses much less power so the battery can be much smaller!!! wow Samsung.

[...] providing the CPU, RAM, and HDD specifications? Samsung Mobile is doing exactly that. They recently announced the Behold II, but conveniently left off the CPU, RAM, and ROM information from the official specifications [...]

I don’t understand how Tmobile can keep getting these meh phones and charge just as much as sprint and verizon do for their phones . If you’re going to stick to old tech, at least give us the Hero. Please?

I had initially been waiting on the specs and reviews on this phone as I’d earmarked it as a possible replacement phone for my wife.
Colour me thoroughly uninspired. That’s another one off the list of possibles.

I considered waiting for the Behold II, and, unfortunately, am glad I didn’t. I really like Tmo for the customer service, but this is getting ridiculous seeing last gen internals on refreshed faces. I think the term is “putting makeup on a pig” or something. I’m enjoying my Droid, and wishing/hoping Tmo gets their act together. Project Black was a let down, 3G speeds and coverage were a let down, and now the hardware releases are a let down. C’mon Tmo!

My experience after 1 year with T-Mobile was that the company has stellar customer service, I had no problem at all with voice coverage, but 3G coverage was thin, even in the cities where they have 3G.

So I said thanks for the memories, busted my T-Mobile contract, and goodbye, and sprung for the droid on a better 3G network. And BTW, I ran speed tests from the same spot in my house with the same application, and the droid on VZ 3G runs a full 50% faster than my G1 did on T-Mo 3G. Don’t know if that is due to difference in the two 3G networks, or because of the faster droid processor — I suspect a mix of both. But in any event, it’s impressive! I loved my G1, but the droid on VZ 3G is light years advanced.

I like the hardware and design but the skin on android is not needed. I would get this if it had an untouched rom on it. The whole interface seems inconsistent and unfinished. Why would you make your Smartphone software look like one of your dumb phones. The skin is just like the crap ware that you get on a new computer.

If T-mobile had released the Galaxy earlier in the year I would still be with them and not caring that the Droid is a better device, but they decided to go with this and price it at 229. I went with the Droid and Verizon cause I have a family plan with my wife now and can get a discount from my work, so the price isn’t that bad for a better network and their customer service is on par with Tmo’s.
