It’s Called the Memoir. Not running WinMo, but Samsung’s most recent touchscreen OS. It’s a decent phone. The extra megapixels almost make up for the lack of an optical zoom.

this is a good step for T-mobile’s phone line up. I mean it is the first new phone that I would buy from t-mobile since the sidekick II

a call center and to give you a heads up this phone was in the roster for upcoming 2009 release phones , what they have now is for christmas so scrap the g1 and wait for this, oh and if you can’t afford a 1 year contract don’t go for a 2 year half you idiots never pay your bill and end up canceling and paying the 200 etf fee , also perfered rate plans are better ask for em we offer em only if ppl ask save you better money, and NEVER GOTO a mobile solutions they will fuck you over 10 ways till sunday, fraud lies and the biggest amount of customer complaints just a heads up

My point is that if it’s treated as a smartphone (requiring smartphone data plan), it should be opened, 3rd party apps (unsigned) friendly, and used as a modem (USB and BT).

AT&T has a similar phone (Samsung A867 Eternity) except the camera (3.2MP instead of 5MP) and it’s not locked down. The unlimited MediaNet plan ($15) can be used with that phone.

Even if it’s not a smartphone, unsigned Java apps should be allowed. Also the original email client (as in the F480) should be used instead of the T-Mobile locked-down-email client.

I don’t know how you guys defending a company that cripples phones as much as T-Mobile or Verizon.

T-Mobile has become the GSM version of Verizon.

And RoseGold, I sure as hell don’t need a winmo anything. I’ve been tired of Microsoft’s hiccups for a long time now, and a lot of other people would agree with me.

Well, Chuong, now you’re complaining about two different things. The smartphone data plan does not make it a smartphone. File your complaint about the plan, if that’s your real beef, because your other ‘points’ don’t tread water. All that said, consider this joint bought.

tmo makes it very easy to heal all their crippling…hell even customer support will get rid of some of your headaches if you ask nicely…i think they’re terrible but they are VERY accommodating ill give them that

@Glenn

Sprint and AT&T doesn’t cripple their phones from using unsigned 3rd party apps or bluetooth crippling.

If it’s a dumb phone, why does T-Mobile require a smartphone data plan for the T919? If you are going to charge customers $25/moth for data, keep the phone opened and let customers use it to its capacity.

Seriously, put things into perspective. If you want the smartphone experience, get a smartphone. Otherwise, just let this and the Behold be a multimedia dumbphone.

chuong, it’s a dumbphone not a smartphone. like glenn said, ur not gonna find that stuff on a us dumbphone.

All carriers cripple their dumbphones so I’m not sure whhy people act as if tmobile is the only one that does it. Just ask those on “the network”

By: Chuong

Chuong — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:09:19 +0000

Oh yeah and I forgot about real email support not the crappy-email-forwarding-while-using-text-message service that T-Mobile calls “email client”.

By: Chuong

Chuong — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 16:07:58 +0000

How about BT tethering? How about unsigned 3rd party apps?

What’s crippled on the Behold? Internet? You can fix that – read a real website and not this BGR crap that rips off TmoNews and you’ll find out how.

If T-Mobile cripples this phone as much as it does with the Samsung T919 Behold, it will be another failure.

This would be awesome if offered in 09!
