"Good phone, needs help for internet connections." on by Karla30
Pros: Appearance, size and feel is good. Easy to navigate different functions. Email function is great. (unless you have Hotmail) You can use a stylus on the touch screen, much easier than bulky fingers in small spots.
Cons: Internet connection splotchy. Not dependable for business. I've had trouble getting on line to almost everything, even with 3G. Wifi might help. Camera is slow. Don't try photographing kids or pets!
Summary: I'm still on the fence for this one. I've had it for 3 days. I mostly got it so that I could connect to the web and have had difficulty in doing that about 80% of the time. Some sites, 100%! I know I can't count on it for business. Gmail works nicely, but unfortunately, my main email account is with Hotmail and I can't get signed on at all. My battery life has not been very good. Maybe it's all that searching, searching, searching trying to connect to the web.
Update. After having much trouble getting connected to any web sites that I actually needed, I called TM and at first was told I was on the wrong data plan, so they changed that. I tried a couple more days, still not able to access the sites I needed, so I called back and was told this is NOT a fully functioning web browsing phone like the G1 or Blackberry. I can only access some sites. Since the main ones I need are not accessable, I will be returning my phone. It is sleek and cool looking, but I really don't like how many steps it takes to get to the actual dialing of a number. Maybe surfing the net and having a phone in the same device is just too much to ask for. :( Not sure If I'll try another web type phone or just go back to some version of a flip phone.

"Revolutionary Samsung Phone for T-mobile" on by Roxy_S
Pros: 5MP Camera, 3G WCDMA, IM, OZ email, aGPS, SMS, MMS, JAVA, Haptic touch, WAP, accelerometer, Widgets, Bluetooth..... Beautiful Design. Battery life is about 4 hours non-stop, Touch screen
Cons: Not an iphone comparison. Keypad replacement phone. Sometimes slow interface. GPS performance not up to date like ATT phones,
Summary: This is a revolutionary phone for the T-mobile line up. Touch phone is beautiful yet easily useable. Although it can't be a match to the iphone which has proprietary browser, musicplayer, O/S etc, this phone I definitely recommend to people who are looking for a keypad replacing stylish phone to show off to. It has all the features necessary to accomplish your daily life. I really enjoy the 5mp camera that I can use to take pictures of things that may come suddenly and with 1GB SDcard that comes free with the phone is plenty enough.

"Touch screen the only real plus" on by Taishizen
Pros: Qwerty touch screen. Lock feature
Cons: The camera is a Huge disappointment- Below poor rating for photo quality, camera controls, even storing the photos is crap. I tried transfer to computer The phone rebooted 4 times. Network for web sucks. DO NOT BUY THIS FOR THE CAMERA or web.
Summary: As I said, the camera is a major disappointment. It is actualy worst than my old 1.2 megapixel camera phone. I purchased with the camera in mind. The touch screen takes quite some acclimation. This is at best a proto-type of maybe some great samsung phone to come (not the Memoire), Samsung needs to go back to the drawing board big time. For the price it is no better than a regular phone. The only positive is it is a touch screen and it has a full qwerty. Not for high tech users--you will be bored and most likely annoyed by the phones lack of "smart". I really can't recommend this for anyone. Sad to say. I am loking for smart phone that is so easy to use my 2 yo nephew could use it--The simpler the design/ function the better the technology. Iphone gets all the raves for a reason. I completely see why.

"Looks can be decieving!" on by sheba94601
Pros: It's attractive & everyone that seen it at first wanted to go out & get it, assuming it was top of the line. Comes w/ a head phone & music sounds good. Onscreen keyboards to the media player buttons, is nice and responsive
Cons: Samsung still hasn't nailed the touchscreen interface. It's a flawed device, but not fatally flawed, and hopefully Samsung will work out most of these TouchWiz UI kinks. Taking pics & texting is cr*p if thats the features u look 4 in a phone.
Summary: Ability to include addresses & several #'s w/ each person , dob, nicknames in ph book. Photo id, picture message with audio that T-Mobile calls an audio postcard. On Video playback, the Samsung Behold is held back by a stodgy player and a strange screen resolution. While the Apple iPhones and the T-Mobile G1 have used a 360 by 480 pixel resolution, the Samsung Behold uses a screen that packs 240 by 400 pixels, a slim, stylish touchscreen phone with a 3-inch display and a 5 megapixel camera. I just can't believe they went thru all this to include a nice camera on the phone but it's so crappy when it comes to taking the flick. I went thru the upteen pics to get a nice shot of my puppy & never got the shot. It takes forever to snap the shot when it does snap =( These teens are tech suave & loved the phone when they first seen it, but it let us all down by the end of the day. I feel so sad for myself b/c I was so excited to get my hands on one *sniff-sniff*
