5 megapixel, Android 1.5, AWS 3G, Behold II, candybar, capacitive, Cupcake, GSM, hands on, Samsung, T-Mobile

The first one in its physical. Samsung Behold II is comfortable in hand. It has the ideal weight but the glossy plastic material makes it feels chintzy in hand. It has the pretty cool back cover but it will be easily scratched if you are careless. And then its 5-way navigational circle is friendly and the buttons is user friendly too (easy to press).

The interface seems not to be the user friendly one. It looks like the quite older interface: neon blues, neon orange, neon yellow and the background is black. You do not need to press the Menu key in order to unlock the screen. Instead you must press the unlock/lock key longer.
