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.

[...] Samsung Behold II should support Android 2.0 [...]

[...] There was initially a lot of confusion over the official hardware specs, but we were able to clear that up. The Behold II is essentially a first generation Android phone because it features the same 528 MHz ARM11 processor which was included in the G1. Samsung also decided to ship the phone with the outdated Android 1.5, but they claim it will eventually support Android 2.0. [...]

[...] The totally unconfirmed rumors suggest the Samsung Behold II will feature a 528 MHz CPU, 512 MB ROM, and 256 MB RAM. We are certain the phone will ship with the outdated Android 1.5, but Samsung is claiming the device will eventually support Android 2.0. [...]

@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.

[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.

T-mobile needs to get the 2.0 update or they will lose me!

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)

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

Wow, that was pretty bad indeed. Which is sad, apart from that (and mentioning Google Docs) it was a nice presentation.
