The Samsung T919 Behold is one of the latest devices for T-Mobile’s new 3G network. It has an attractive slim and stylish design with a 3 inch touch screen display screen.

The Samsung T919 is piled high with the latest cell phone features Worldwide 3G network access, AGPS navigation, mapping and voice-prompted turn-by-turn directions, POP3 and IMAP e-mail as well as texting and instant messaging, an HTML Web browser, a full digital music player and a full slate of PIM application, games and utilities. It also sports a nice 5 mega-pixel camera which is reason enough for many people to buy this one.

Behold also includes a built-in accelerometer so images and Web pages rotate automatically when you turn the phone and an iPhone-like sensor which knows to turn off the screen when you bring the phone up to your face during a call (and lights it back up when you pull it down). For text input, you get two touch keypads, a traditional portrait alphanumeric dial or multi-touch pad and a landscape QWERTY keyboard.

Some of the disappointing aspects of Behold are -there’s no 3.5mm headphone jack, and swapping out the microSD slot requires you to remove the battery. It still can’t compete with high-end smartphones like the Apple iPhone or even T-Mobile’s own G1, but it is an easy to use and fun device to have around.
