Overall, my first impressions are pretty good. Still, I think T-Mo might be aiming a bit high with the $229 on-contract price tag. The cube seems more like a bullet point than a useful feature, but I haven’t really had the chance to spend some time with it yet. The keyboard feels pretty good, but again, I need some time. One thing that stood out to me was the implementation of haptic feedback throughout the UI; even when scrolling through your app list, the phone gently rumbles.
It seems like we’ve been talking about the Behold II for a long time. It seems like we’ve seen the phone a dozen times and that someone’s done a horrible job of keeping secrets. Yet less that two weeks before the launch date – November 18th – we still don’t know (for sure anyway) the most basic, important specs; like CPU speed, for example. At least now we have an idea of what Android feels like cubed:
This “inside the cube” view is the same as can be seen on the Omnia HD:
The SGH-t939’s 3.2″ AMOLED screen is enough to catch your attention on it’s own, but throw in a tantalizing little taste of Sammy’s new Android version of TouchWiz, and it’s enough to make you reconsider your holiday plans. 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, WiFi, Bluetooth, and microSD up to 16GB. There are no specifics on price or dates just yet, and the apps we know of are standard fare. So, let’s just ogle the images for a bit, k? There will be more info soon enough.
