We are sort of disappointed to hear the new T-Mobile Samsung Behold II will launch with the outdated Android 1.5, but I guess that is the norm now with other phones (Sprint Hero, Sprint Moment, T-Mobile Cliq, etc.). However, a new video from Samsung Mobile confirms that the Behold II will in fact support Android 2.0 “when it arrives”. Customers might have to wait till 2010 to receive Android 2.0, but at least they can be assured their new phone will get updated. We have yet to receive any official confirmation from T-Mobile that their G1 or myTouch 3G phones will be receiving the update.

What a douche. That guy needs to at least know the difference between a widget and an application.
Wow, that was pretty bad indeed. Which is sad, apart from that (and mentioning Google Docs) it was a nice presentation.
Here we go with the so called promises and proposals on video. Just like the so called flash 10 on the G1 everyone saw on youtube that after several years still didn’t happen nor did the 2.0 updates etc..its all a gimic they use to real in the brainless..if its on video then it should be on the phone no questions asked
As long as the Moment gets it I will be happy. I am seriously considering switching to Verizon for the Droid (still have like three weeks before I’m locked in), and if I can’t get a definate answer by then I am switching just for the security of knowing the Droid will be getting regular updates (it is Verizon, Motorola, and Google’s flagship device, it won’t just fade away like other phones might)
T-mobile needs to get the 2.0 update or they will lose me!
[but at least they can be assured their new phone will get updated]
NO we can not be assured! We that have the “Behold” have been waiting for an update (that we were promised) for 1 year. But instead of an update they come out with the “behold II” so that we have to buy a new phone. So, I do not trust Samsung to update Android.
@Atlanta lol, well, I guess they are coming out with an update in the form of a new phone you have to buy
. My wife has the Behold, and I’m also disappointed

@D.J. Yes, you should get the Droid. No question about it.
I’m very disappointed with Samsung. I really feel no passion from them whatsoever. Before the Galaxy launched, there was real buzz and excitement, but as soon as it did, nothing. The Moment released with hardly any buzz or interest. And now they’re launching the Behold with 1.5?
I think Samsung is just making more phones. They don’t really care about Android. They’re just making more phones.
I tried to like the Behold II after using it for a week, but it just had some annoying issues and not to mention Android 1.5–I didn’t realize there was a difference; I’d assumed any device that was only 2 months old would have the latest version of the o/s. So I’m returning it within the 14 days for a Nexus One instead.
