Samsung Behold gets reviewed, deemed "worth considering"

Now that Samsung's TouchWiz-enabled Behold is available for the taking on T-Mobile, wouldn't you like to know if it's the handset for you? The phone seemed positioned to be the carrier's entertainment mobile for folks not ready to make the G1 leap, boasting a 3G radio, expansive touchscreen and a 5MP camera. In testing, phonescoop found the handset to be a dash of good and a dash of bad, with the UI being deemed "decent, but not great," the camera quality to be less than awesome and the music player "capable" enough (despite the omission of a 2.5 / 3.5-millimeter headphone jack). In sum, critics determined that the Behold was worth considering if you're "in the market for a touch device that has a better-than-average feature set," but don't expect it to blow your mind or anything.

My sister decided on the Behold after considering the Pearl and the G1 at first. She had sworn never to use a touchscreen-only phone after using my hand-me-down ROKR E6, but as that not exactly the epitome of touchscreen-ness, I told her to hold off for the Behold with its feature set. She got the Rose one two weeks ago almost, and is loving it!

I think that's definitely well put that it's the right phone for those looking for an above-average feature set with the fuss of a smartphone. As for me, I'll stick with my Crackberry lol.
