Samsung Behold II Android And Touchwiz Phone
Samsung has launched its first official Andriod handset in the US market. Samsung Behold II include a 5 megapixel camera, AMOLED screen and Samsung's own Touchwiz UI.
These days the BIG thing in the smart phone's race is the introduction of Andriod Operating System. Behold II will launch with Andriod 1.5 and eventually update to Andriod 2.0, sometime in 2010.
It is yet to see that how Samsung creates some space for Behold II when HTC and Motorolla, just a couple of days back introduced two most talked about smart phones HTC Driod Eris and Motorolla Driod. HTC runs of Windows Mobiles and Motorolla Driod is the first phone that runs on Andriod 2.0. So for Andriod enthusiasts, Motorolla has introduced just the thing they want. Some critics are of the view that it makes no sense that consumers will be keen in a set which is already three updates behind.
It looks like the Behold II won't update to 2.0 until 2010 which begs the conspiracy theory that Google and Verizon cooked up a deal to leave the Motorola DROID as the only Android 2.0 device for 2009. What do you guys think? [via tmonews]
The other big feature in the set is Samsung's own Touchwiz UI. To get an idea what the UI is all about, look at the video at the end. To make navigation simple, Samsung's UI consists of a cube with applications on all sides of the cube that eventually makes it easy to jump from one application to the other. But is it really required? That is the big questions.
So all eyes are on Samsung that how, in the midst of a storm of Andriod high end phones, Behold II makes its place.
