Is this release date and phone for Tmobile USA or for the Overseas Tmobile? I know Tmobile overseas get's awesome phones while we over here in the US with Tmobile get leftovers. I was just wondering is the Samsung Behold for Tmobile USA also or is it just for overseas Tmobile?

    Ratings (audaciously poor ones at that) already on a phone not one of you owns or has even used? Pull your heads in. You can'e read a vague spec sheet look at a photo and already have a fully fomed opinion and feel that you deserve to give a user rating! BS! does anyone on this forum actually own or use any of these phones or is it all pure speculation?

        Hi. Please help this ignorant enduser that has so much on her plate that knowing the details of phones is not on the top of the list.
        I lost my T-Mobile phone at LAX. I am on the plan with a Linksys Router, so any calls I make while at home or in my yard are free.
        SO, I need a new phone; I have a tremor in my right hand, so I need a phone with large buttons. I went to a store and an ignorant worker showed me the new touch screen phone. I asked her, is it Wi Fi? Uh, I don't know. Snap. I have heard rumors that T-Mobile is rolling out several new phones through the holidays. Do I use my insurance, get another phone with small buttons, or, do I keep using the loaner and pray that they will have another phone come out that would work with my Linksys router very soon? My cousin is rich, bought the hot shot phone with the keyboard appearing on the whole screen from ATT. It was "unlocked", whatever that means, and he uses it with another carrier. Please advise:I need all the help I can get.
        Thanks, Mary Anne

          thegame, 08 Nov 2008If this is a F480 on steroids, i wonder if that will mean t... moreyeah it does have virtual qwerty keyboard i saw a review at phonedog.com and when he turned it over (like horizontally)
          automatically it switches over to the qwerty keyboard... AUTOMATICALLY!!!!! so it does have virtual qwerty keyboard and
          the phone looks pretty solid when i saw the review.. two cons
          no 3.5 mm jack (which i don't mind) not hot swappable card slot
          (now this i do mind) and no wifi (which i don't mind either)
          but the phone looks very good though.. two colors pink and espresso

              Majestic, 07 Nov 2008It's not Samsung's first, the one with the sliding keyboard... moreThough the other guy corrected you as the first one with a keypad (candybar) and a side slide with a QWERTY keyboard much like the HTC S710 and S730 I think you're still right. I saw the F700 in a phone shop in my local shopping Mall. I personally think Samsung should have made the screen a bit bigger than that. Have'nt seen your posts lately bro! Were u just chilling? Keep the posts rolling homie!

                  If this is a F480 on steroids, i wonder if that will mean this phone will have a t9 AND virtual qwerty keyboard, seeing as the F480 only has t9. why no WI-FI?

                    i think "behold" is a ridiculous name. while for the other, the specs are too low to be named "gravity".

                      This is the first samsung with both conventional keypad and slide out qwerty.

                              The Samsung Gravity is actually the first phone by Samsung with such form factor. In its essence the Samsung Gravity is pretty much like some other phones as HTC S730 and S710. Only those run on Windows Mobile, while the Samsung Behold doesn't.

                              i think u ment to put "while the samsung gravity does not"

                              yet both devices do no have wndows mobile
