I just received this phone in the mail 2 days ago, and I haven't been able to put it down. It's a great quality phone and feels excellent in the hand. The touch screen IS responsive, however the touch needs a little more pressure than the iphone for instance. The qwerty keyboard is also very easy to do because it provides vibration feedback.
The "full html" is actually formatted to fit on the phone so that you only have to scroll up and down to view web pages, which I actually enjoyed. So far my only complaints are that there isn't "thread messaging", instead it's just individual sms each time, but I can live with that. Also, my old phone was capable of writing in many other languages, this one only has English or Spanish.
The internet is actually pretty fast. Compared to the Iphone 3G, it's a little slower, maybe about 3 seconds slower. But hopefully t-mobile will improve the 3g network.
The camera is really great and so is the picture quality.
I don't really have anything negative to say. I definitely think it's worth the money (i paid $149 with a 2 year extended contract upgrade).

I bought this phone about a week ago and everything has worked great on it so far. I'm an avid texter and so I use the touchscreen a lot more than someone who doesn't text. I need it to be as accurate as possible and it is. The only thing I'd have to complain about is how they try to tie internet into everything, which I don't use on phones, but I suppose that's normal for any cell phone company.

Awesome phone, looks sharp, gets attention, functions great.

I have had the behold for about 16 hours. I like that it is not heavy like the G1 and you dont have to pay for internet service to use the IM. I dont like scolling the left side of menu of the home screen because i always seem to enter an application that i did not intend on using. Hopefully the battery last me the whole day. This phone will do until February when the Nokia 5800 is available.

This has happened to previous Samsung phones I've had. Hope you already figured it out, but just turn it off and turn it back on then it should allow you to enable the Bluetooth. It's some software glitch.

Dude, Chilax. It's a handset, not a data device. There are features in the ui that will be simpler than the iphone or or htc touch, etc. Don't be such a negative Nancy.

good try by t-mobile but the touch screen is very poor to usa and the phone volume is very low not a good phone to invest in 425 dollors

> In reply to Dan Ro @ 2008-11-18 18:54 from j4{A - click to readI downloaded that exact App from Samsung... The tricky part was to figure out for Data Transfers to shut down the phone. However On or Off, the PC Suite did not see my phone as "Connected". I was able to do Data Transfers to the phone, which is weird, but not Sync. I think it maybe a Software/App issue. I tried to re-boot both the computer and phone... nothing. I did notice something weird tho... U know how you hear a USB connection sound, when connecting an iPod, Flash Drive etc.... in my case the Connection sound was double "ding" not single... dont know if this means anything.... Ideas or other Apps i can try?

Has anyone had luck with Syncing the phone to Outlook Contacts/Calendar? T-Mobile did not provide a Sync App with the Phone, however Samsung has something on their site. I was able to do Data Transfers (simply COPY & PASTE) but the App does not Recognize the phone as "Connected to PC" for SYNC purposes... Advise? Other Apps out there?
