Samsung Behold Review
By admin on March 19th, 2010
There is no doubt that the touchscreen mobile phone is in, and nearly every carrier offers at least a few models to choose from. The Samsung Behold is a candy bar style touchscreen phone that offers tons of features, including a 5-megapixel camera and 3G, but one important feature that you will find absent is WiFi.
With the Behold Samsung you get a phone that resembles the Omnia; it measures 4.12 x 2.1 x 0.5 inches and weighs about 4 ounces. On the front of the Behold is a large, 3-inch display that is one of the largest touchscreens on the market. The display supports 262,000 colors, and with a high resolution screen, you can view graphics in crisp, bright colors. Another reason why this touchscreen is so nice is that it is very responsive and easy to use.
For sending text messages and email you will love the virtual landscape QWERTY keyboard that comes with the Samsung Behold. Although this keyboard is small, for most people it shouldn’t be a problem to use.
Some of the features that you’ll get with the Behold Samsung include a phonebook that will hold up to 2,000 contacts, plus there are some basic features that include, a vibrate mode, as well as text and multimedia messaging. There is also a calendar, a calculator, and a notepad, plus a task list, an alarm clock, a world clock, a timer, and a speakerphone, plus more.
Although this phone does come with a full HTML browser, it unfortunately does not feature WiFi, which could be a deal breaker for some people. There is no mistaking the Samsung Behold for a smartphone, though it does come with a decent, high-end feature set. With the Behold you’ll get such features as voice dialing and voice command, Bluetooth, email, as well as instant messaging support. Another nice feature is the inclusion of GPS; this is a useful tool to have when you are traveling or looking for an address and need directions.
One of the best features of the Samsung Behold is the built in 5-megapixel camera that also doubles as a camcorder. The picture quality you get with this camera is nice, and the quality of the video isn’t bad either.
The call quality of the Behold Samsung is very good, plus connecting to the Internet with this phone is fast and effortless. The battery life is rated for 5 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time.
If you want an affordable high quality mobile phone that offers a lot of features, you can likely get a cheap Samsung Behold when you agree to a contract with the carrier. This is a quality phone where you are definitely getting more than you are paying for.
