@T.O.

I have an LG VU that does the vibration every time you press a key. I like it as a heavy texter–makes me know when I have skipped something as I type. *shrug* To each their own. But I do know you can turn it off or turn down the level of vibration if you don’t like it.

The Behold is out and kinda sucks. Just a regular phone with a touch screen. Nothing special. And no qwerty.

i got to play with the behold last night, as well as the G1 two weeks before it came out…all the tmobile reps/managers have them right now. this phone lags big time!!! and the keyboard is really tiny! the browser was pretty snazzy and the camera was pretty sweet. the transition between vert. and horiz. was pathetic!!! and the screen vibrates with every press when your typing which really didnt do you any justice, the A felt the same as the L, it was kind of annoying to tell you the truth.

That’s not a Sidekick id up there – it’s the newer Sidekick 2008.

Eh that marketing piece seems to be copying the words from Bell’s new ‘ER’ campaign.

FlipstER
TrendsettER

In fact I’m pretty sure you could find those words on their website. Could be wrong though =P.

im excited to see tmo have a decent line up but being a g1 owner, none of them make me wanna carry around 2 phones.
buts it looking good for them:
Tmobile G1
Blackberry flip
moto ZN5
Samsung Behold
Tmobile sidekick 2008
the samsung gravity (i guess for young textaholics)
ha and also on tmobile.com there selling the sidekick “id” lol, i think thats a pretty old phone but im not sure, im also not sure who would buy it.
and then later on the other blackerry phone, javelin or curve 2 i think, a reinstallment of the Shadow (haha before i was obsessed with android, to think i was pumped about this phone) and probably some other stuff.

im way happy with my g1 and it still gets alot of attention when im out at the mall and stuff, so these phones dont interest me but it seems tmo is really trying to step up there game. im excited. and Also with Sprints so called discontent with Android, it just means that tmobile gets more android yay.. there loss.

The Death Star is on a quest for world domination. I guess you are right. Iphone closed, Fuze open. In this case Behold Close G1 open.

@Lib

So is at&t gonna be cannibalizing sales of the fuze by carrying the iphone?

Different phones for different folks.

On another note, it seems kind of odd that Tmo would want to cannibalize sales of their G1 being that they are both touchscreen.

i can’t wait to get my hands on a Behold. living in Atlanta, the new 3g is everywhere (so its lack of wifi isn’t much of an issue) and so long as its got a.) a decent landscape keyboard that i can use WITH TEXTING and b.) a decent browser (or ability to install some opera) it’s a done deal. the only real issue is that i’ve heard t-mo is planning some data-plan pricing shenanigans since it’s 3g.

Should it be assumed that they will not be releasing the Blackberry 8900/Javelin for the holidays then?

Behold-check
Gravity-check
unnecessary digital photo frame-check
companion flight promotion-check

Blackberry 899/Javelin-?
