T-mobile samsung behold reviews
The Samsung 3G Behold ($ 150, T-Mobile), the younger brother of Samsung Omnia on the Verizon network, is a slick cell phone with a bevy of advanced multimedia features and a touch-sensitive screen. However, I have here lacks Wi-Fi and a standard headphone jack, and its Web browser is a bit counterintuitive.
Slightly smaller than the Omnia, Behold measures 2.1 by 4.1 by 0.5 inches. Weighing 3.9 ounces, which is light but feels solid in your hand.
Here are the 3-inch touch screen takes most phones, and three physical keys – final, and send back – lies beneath. The landscape touch-screen QWERTY keyboard, with keys generously spaced and vibration feedback, is comfortable to use. I did not notice any lag between the time he wrote and when the results appeared on the screen, a problem that I experienced with some other touch-screen keyboards. Here is the text of the role Predictive of the word gives two options, but it can also turn predictive text with a dedicated key on the keyboard. The agreement includes a few punctuation keys dedicated, as well.
Here are the uses of Samsung TouchWiz interface, also seen in the Omnia. But unlike the Omnia, which seemed to slow with Windows Mobile, the Behold is very receptive. The accelerometer, which reacted slowly in the Omnia, changed from portrait to landscape quickly and smoothly on this phone. I found some lag only when I move through lists of contacts or the media in my library. And another thing, I found TouchWiz very easy to use.
The goal for the Behold the 5-megapixel camera with a flash, the phone is in the back of metal (which is available in an espresso or light-pink brushed finish). A volume rocker and a headset / USB connector are on the left side of the device, while a dedicated camera key and a telephone key-lock seated on the right.
The call quality was very good in general. My contacts sounded loud and clear, and I have not heard static or interference. Parties at the other end heard some background noise, but otherwise the sound quality was clean. I experienced no calls.
The Today screen – Here is the startup screen – has a widget bar running along his left side. You can arrange the widgets in any order, as well as a drag on the main part of the screen to launch their respective approx. To end the application, the widget slide back into the bar. Widgets available include a calendar, a phone book, a music player, and a clock. However, the realignment of other widgets and eliminating them is not much room for customization; can not add new widgets to the bar or buy new programs (there is a shop APP), which was disappointing.
Here he offers a full HTML browser, which is a good addition to a non-smart-phone handset. The browser is difficult to use on occasion: Scrolling through the pages was not as smooth as a process to touch on other browsers display, and get the hang of sailing took time. For example, to zoom in on a page, you must touch the glass-rise icon at the top of your browser, then select the size of the page to see. The phone does not make Wi-Fi, either, but that does not seem too big of a loss; Web pages loaded quickly over T-Mobile’s 3G network.
Here is the standout feature is a 5 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and an LED flash power. The camera has four resolution settings, light metering, adjustable ISO, a timer, a self-portrait mirror on the back cover, an antishake feature, and an adjustment for shooting grounds. It also has three fun shooting modes (continuous panorama, and mosaic) and a smile-shot mode that will have another chance if the subject is frowning.
The picture quality is very good – definitely better than most camera-phone pictures I’ve seen. The colors were sharp and clear in the two photos taken indoors and outdoors. The camera’s menu is intuitive touch, and I liked to try all the different configurations. Fortunately, I have here has 180MB of internal memory and a microSD slot for expanding storage up to 16GB, so you have plenty of room for pictures. You can also record video in two resolutions (320 by 240 pixels and 176 by 144).
Here is the complete multimedia center on, though. I was disappointed that I have not been charged here with the Samsung TouchPlayer, an impressive media player we’ve tested in the Omnia. On the contrary, I’ve been here a bare-bones music player that supports album art and playlists, and shuffle and repeat modes and six equalizer settings. But, like the Omnia, the lack Here is a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, so you can not charge the phone and listening to music at the same time. In the mouth, transferring music from your PC via the USB cable Here is a simple drag and drop.
Like the Lotus LG for Sprint, the Samsung has Here are some of the advanced features of a smartphone, but it is not really a smart phone. And although smartphones are not necessarily for everyone, in a bombing extra $ 30 to 50 more for a phone with multimedia features stronger, such as T-Mobile G1-based Android orApple the iPhone is worth considering. In general, however, Here is a well-designed touch screen of the phone with an impressive feature set.
