Hellooo... So I got the Behold 2 in the mail about four days ago, and it was working out pretty well for me. This was mostly because I'd previously been using an archaic piece of crap and hadn't had any experience with Android, so I was pretty blown away by the customization and yada yada yada. Touchwiz didn't even bother me because I've never seen Android without that UI. Then the battery issues started, which a few other people have obviously had judging by the threads on this forum. I was losing roughly 1% of battery power every 5 minutes without me even touching it, which is absolutely ridiculous. I followed the basic procedure and turned everything off, etc., and am recharging it now. So, waiting to see if it gets any better. But it seems like a hassle to have to constantly keep wifi disabled or to take all the widgets off the home screen. It's really annoying.
But anyway! My point is, should I jump ship? Like I said, I only just got this phone so the window of return is still wide open. I would particularly like the opinion of those who have had experience with the other Android phones. I've read a lot of reviews that place the MyTouch way above the Behold 2. Yeah yeah, I get that the Behold is gimmicky with the cube thing and obnoxious with the touchwiz, but are the other Androids offered by Tmo seriously any better? At least the touchwiz can be fixed with market apps and it's going to get the update to 2.0 eventually.
I've heard a lot of people say to just wait for the Nexus One to come out in January, but my parents have control of the account and I forced them to renew their contract just to get this phone, so I don't know how I could convince them to just let me wait for a phone that has a sketchy release date and price. Gahhhh. I would just like some advice =___=
Thank you in advance.
