I've recently read about rumors that the replacement or the Samsung Behold is already being cooked up. So I figured that it would be fitting to dedicate a post to this solid mobile phone before its replacement arrived.

This device has already been on the market for about a year. There are plenty of Samsung Behold reviews on the web that can tell tons of info on this handset. Let's go over what the experts say on this phone.

The folks at Cnet.com describes the Samsung Behold as a phone with "an attractive design with a responsive touch screen." They also praise the device for its varied features and photo quality. They describe the phone as fast under T-Mobile's 3G network.

Other Samsung Behold reviews like the one at InfoSync also credits the device for having great call quality and calling features. However, this review also mentions that the phone's web browsing and video player are both mediocre.

The folks at Slash Gear also examined the Behold and describes it as "one of the most enjoyable touchscreen phones on the market." they say that it's a great phone for users who feel that they are not ready for a smartphone. However, they also point that the web browser's controls are hard to use and web pages are rendered poorly.

That's it for this post dedicated to Samsung Behold reviews. it's clear that the device is solid but a bit weak on web browsing. Tune in to this blog for more info on phones and related topics.

The CTIA Wireless 2008 has become quite a venue for the launching and debuts of classy mobile phones. Of course, that is been the role of the mobile phone trade show. Carriers and manufacturers use the event to showcase their products. One of the highlights of the event, is the revelation of a phone that might be able to topple the iPhone.

According to CrunchGear.com,
Samsung and Sprint have worked together to hatch an iPhone Killer. At the CTIA, they have announced the imminent arrival of the the Samsung Instinct.

Killing Apple's iPhone, is a daunting task but the Samsung Instinct has the potential to turn heads around and make an impact on the mobile phone industry. Let me give a few details on the device.

This high-end mobile phone sports great features including EVDO Rev. A, Sprint Music, GPS with TeleNav support and Sprint TV. To compete with the powerful iPhone, the Instinct is designed to have a touchscreen QWERTY keyboard. It will also come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and 2 GB microSD card.

The device revealed at the tradeshow is a prototype so some imperfections and defects surfaced. however, these bugs may be fixed when the production models finally enter the market. Some of the analyst who have hands on experience with the device at the CTIA Wireless 2008 in Sin City were impressed. However, they did not think that it can kill the iPhone.

The Instinct has to overcome a lot of obstacles in order to be on par with Apple's hit handset. For instance, the iPhone has multitouch technology. This technology allows users to interact with a device without conventional input devices. Apple has sought a patent for this technology so Samsung has to look somewhere else to find a competitive technology.

Sprint it seems is putting a lot of faith in the Samsung Instinct. The carrier has announce that it is willing to spend a million bucks to advertise the product. The company is struggling so they maybe hoping that the high-end handset can help them recover. A single handset will not be able to resurrect the company but its a good start for Sprint because it will attract a lot of customers. The mobile phone provider has suffered from customer defections and launching the Samsung Instinct will convince many customers to stay.

Meet Samsung Solid, Samsung's first strongphone, if you can call it that, with a military IP54 rating, which means its dust, water, and shock resistant.

Features aren't its strongest forte but it more than makes up for that with a rubber body and a unique SOS feature. Pressing the volume button three times quickly will immediately send a message to a predefined number from its phonebook and the next incoming call will automatically be answered. The built-in flashlight sure sounds handy.
