The Samsung Behold battery lasts most of the day if I'm not doing a lot of extra things on the phone like surfing the web and listening to music, but it's still sufficient for regular use. The phone is nice, very sleek and classy looking. I bought the espresso color and it's even more elegant than I expected. The screen is very brilliant and sharp, pictures look awesome on the big viewing area. I came from a phone that had a small 2" screen and couldn't really see any detail in pictures. Now I can see all the details in pictures that I've taken with the 5 megapixel camera or pictures that others have sent me. The camera is fun and nice to have at hand all the time. I'm a photographer and sometimes I don't have my camera right at hand. With this camera, I don't have to worry about photo quality or about missing a great shot. The call quality is A+. Everyone that I talked to told me to turn down my mic volume because they could hear me to well. I also can hear them clear and very well. I've never had trouble with background noises being picked up like I have with other phones. The only downers of the phone is one, that it's not one of the new smartphones, but I must say that it is the smartest of dumb phones that I have seen. Has great 3G internet possibilities, easy to use web, search, and can support email through web based email programs like Google, Yahoo, AOL, Hotmail, Netzero, and a couple more. The touchscreen is very receptive and easy to use. You can drag your widgets to your desktop or you can leave them on the expandable launch bar until you need them. Texting is easy and fun back to texting. It has the T9 texting by default but is very easy to turn off with one tap on either of the two texting screens you're back to tapping out letter by letter your texts, or you can learn to use the T9 either way. The screen is easy to tap out messages and the keys are big enough that most fingers should be able to hit the right keys. I love the qwerty keyboard. With this phone you have a choice when it comes to texting, either the normal phone keypad style or turn the phone on it's left side and the qwerty keyboard automatically comes up. The phone only has 6 physical buttons: the external volume control, the green answer/send, the back bar, the red end/hangup, the external camera button, and the screen lock button. When I started looking for a phone, I researched so many. Overall this phone had the best perks, only one of 3 phones that I found with the 5 megapixel camera and full web browser. It has exceeded my expectations. A+

I have had the Samsung Behold for almost a month now, and so far it has been good. Yes it takes amazing pictures. There is a panoramic mode, smile detection and many different types of mosaics. Also it has good flash. The only bad side to the camera is that there is no way of turning off the shutter sound, but what I am surprised about is that no one ever writes about the great photo editing tools! You can edit the color, contrast and brightness. You can crop it and transform pictures. But, what I like most is the ability to add effects such as different filters, styles and you can warp pictures too. The video camera is very high quality for a phone. It was more than I expected. This is a video camera phone you will want to use. Records 10 minutes and up. Texting is somewhat a breeze, I just think the space bar should have been larger. Calling on the phone can get annoying if you are even remotely near any noise. It's sad to say, the only bad part about this phone is the phone itself. I have never lost a call. I always have amazing reception no matter where I am. The 3G works great. Multi-media messages are easy to send. The internet works well and loads most pages in 15-18 seconds, although Google loads in 4-5 seconds which is nice. Youtube is okay, but the videos could show up bigger, but it does open them fast. The mp3 is a nice feature and since it holds up to 16g, I stopped using my old one because I have everything I could ever want to listen to on it. Another cool thing is the touchscreen. It has great feedback and is easy to use. The widget bar on the main screen comes in handy also.
