Samsung Behold The Amazing Touch Screen Phone

By Oscar S. Cartwright

One of the newest phones from T-mobile is the Samsung Behold. This expertly designed phone has an amazing list of features which include access to the lightening fast 3G network and an incredibly easy to use operating system. The phone will make a great device for anyone who needs an all around strongly outfitted phone.

The Samsung Behold has a great design. It has an ultra modern look which is very popular among phones. Its touch screen is 3 inches (diagonally across) and it has a resolution of 240x400 which displays up to 262,000 colors. The display is very sharp, crisp, and vibrant. The phone features 2 sensors. One sensor automatically dims the phone when it is lifted to ones ear during a phone call. The other sensor an accelerometer switches the phones display to landscape mode when it is held horizontally. Keeping with the sleek motif there are only 3 buttons (Talk, End, and Back) and 1 switch (volume rocker) on the phone. The camera features a 5 megapixel camera and a highly reflective surface for self portraits. The phone can read memory cards but unfortunately the slot is located underneath the battery.

The phone features the TouchWiz user interface. The operating system works extremely well and helps the user organize apps and widgets on the home screen with ease. The phone includes (but is not limited to) a music player, a full HTML web browser, clock, and a calculator. The address book has room for up to 2,000 entries and allows users to store different types of means of identification such as instant messaging nick names, birthdays, and personal websites. For game junkies the Samsung Behold comes with demos of Bejeweled and Sims 2 programmed in.

The Samsung Behold is truly easy to use, and not just due to its touch screen design but also because of the fact that the on-screen interface is just simply intuitive, with quite well thought-out menus. The QWERTY keyboard is presented in a landscape format, and there are dedicated punctuation keys and separate keyboards for symbols and numbers; an alphanumeric keypad mode is also available. But one of the most immediately obvious strongest points of the Samsung Behold is its quality 5-megapixel digital camera, capable of capturing photos in six different resolutions. In addition, there's an adjustable ISO, a self-timer, auto focus, anti-shake, and various optimization settings for diverse shooting situations like night, action, and backlit. In camcorder mode the Samsung Behold takes video clips in 320x240 or 176x144 resolutions, and 180MB is available internally for storage, while a microSD card can add up to an additional 16GB.

Last but not least, another of the Samsung Behold's strong points is its lightning-fast 3G signal (web pages come up in seconds), courtesy T-Mobile. All in all, this very smartphone-like cellphone offers the usual suite of features, with several of them exceptionally implemented.
