Yesterday we showed you this bad boy behind a thick, hand-stopping sheet of glass, and today, we’re taking you just a little closer to the action. The emphasis has to be on “just a little,” unfortunately, because neither T-Mobile nor Samsung were willing to slip a battery in the phone and let us play around with it, a surefire indication that the firmware isn’t baked to a golden brown yet — and when you consider that they’re promising the Behold II in time for the holidays, the clock’s definitely ticking. Would we pick this over a myTouch 3G? Probably, yeah — especially with the better cam — but let’s be real, the Fender Limited Edition is another story altogether.

Nicely I’ve been addicted to flashing, because of VZW not wanting us to possess access on the GPS on our phones. So I observed the threads that tought me to flash my cell phone. Can even cook a tiny, but there are a great deal superior chefs available, so I’m content to toast their function. I at present am running Lioryte’s 23529 construct from the WinMo 6.five.1 on the Samsung Omnia with VZW. So now I’ve won the Behold 2 from Samsung, been playing with it for any couple of months.We’ve it rooted, I have BusyBox on it and aHome UI. looks great, functions great, but as well a lot bloatware. (The Cube and more) Tried the Galaxy trick, very fast and complete of useable memory. It’s Android 1.5 pure. I would rather update the B2, not revert to Galaxy, and build from that. I will if that’s the only way, I’ll test new Odins to the B2 and do what ever assist I can to support the B2 community advance the good quality of this phone.I’m searching forward to helping make the B2 the very best Android telephone available.
