PCmag reviews the Samsung Behold II (T939) and writes;
“The Behold II has Wi-Fi for faster Web surfing, but the setup is awkward. You have to navigate to TouchWiz and click the Wi-Fi button, and then click another large circular button to turn Wi-Fi on. Next, you must go through a setup process to choose your access point and enter any required login key.”

MacWorld reviews the Samsung Behold II (T939) and writes;
“The 5-megapixel camera is definitely the Behold II’s headlining feature. Snapshots were impressive (both indoors and out) with bright colors, sharp details, and only a touch of graininess in photos taken in dimly lit environments. Along with an LED flash, an 8X digital zoom, and autofocus, you get a variety of fun shooting modes to pick from, as well as brightness controls. The touch-friendly interface makes it easy to adjust your settings while you’re in shooting mode.”

CNET reviews the Samsung Behold II (T939) and writes;
“The good: The Samsung Behold II boasts a vibrant AMOLED capacitive touch screen. The smartphone includes more-robust multimedia capabilities, and its 5-megapixel camera takes excellent pictures. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G support are all included. The bad: The phone is expensive, especially compared with the competition. The TouchWiz interface isn’t all that useful. Runs Android 1.5.”

“the Behold II is still quite pocketable and light–and with its curved edges and its brown and black color scheme (Samsung calls it “Mystic Brown”), the Behold II is much more attractive than its boxy predecessor.”
