The Samsung Behold is not a smartphone, just to get that out the way early. It is an exceptional device but smart device it is not. So anyhow, I purchased this phone to replace a recent purchase of a Sidekick LX that as we all know has ceased the use of data. I have a primary phone, the Blackberry 9700, however I like having two lines because when the Blackberry inevitably dies before I get home at the end of each day I will still have a fully charged phone waiting. I will break my analysis of the phone down into sections.

Packaging

I opted for the overnight shipping, which was only $3.99 on Amazon Prime Student Edition. This phone arrived super fast and the packaging was amazing. When I opened the package I found that the phone was in the original Samsung packaging. When I opened the packaging I found the phone in immaculate shape. The plastic cover was still on the screen, the battery was enclosed in a plastic packaging, and everything looked as if it was brand new. No scratches non-whatsoever. Overall, very professional packaging, which is always much appreciated.

Phone Touch Screen

The screen on this phone is amazingly bright and vibrant. To make a selection on the screen you have to press firmly, which I like but if you are looking for a touch screen that is as fluid as the G1 then you will be disappointed. I have medium fingers and when I first started playing this phone I was annoyed and was kind of glad that it is a secondary phone because otherwise the texting would drive me insane. What I have found is that this is a very sexist phone. If you are a woman and have medium fingernails then this is your biggest ally when typing on the screen. If you are a guy, who typically have short fingernails, I recommend a stylus. Once I started using my fingernails to text and not my fingers I found the process to be quick and efficient with no mistaken letter pushes.

Phone Front Screen

The main screen allows you to modify the icons and move them to the home screen. This is a decent feature that I have found useful. I do wish that we had the opportunity to download other widgets that are more tailored to what you use but the default one’s are the only options.
