Yes this phone is piece of junk, amazingly high rate of dropped calls and it drives me nuts all the time.

I am seriously thinking to back to ATT or any other carrier and never-ever-ever coming back to TMobile.

I found out its definitely worth to pay 200$ early termination fee and get rid of this junk called Samsung Behold II.

Tmobile/Samsung think seriously and take actions fast..

I think I'm just got to stop responding to TMO Hate!!
Honestly, it's not a TMO issue, it's the Phone & Samsung lack of Support..
I've been with every Carrier & I can Honestly say TMO is far better than any I have Dealt with! Customer Support is awesome!

Right now, the Biggest Issue is TMO Sold the Phone, but only with the Info that Samsung gave them, including the False Sales..

Just imo Statement is all...

However, If one Carrier works better for you, then by all means Switch to that Carrier :)

Actually, TMobile can (and might) do something about this. I wouldn't place the blame on them for this problem, but they have an insane amount of power over Samsung in this issue.

TMobile would be just fine by solely using HTC as their Android phone manufacturer. They could simply tell Samsung, "Take care of the people who buy your phones, or lose a carrier." I'm sure there are contractual details included, but those are easily worked around in situations like these.

That's also what I was sorta thinking spiz, I was trying to figure out contact info for someone at t-mo who deals with the manufacturers.

EDIT: Yikes!

Sent an email to the CEO of t-mobile asking for him to help us talk to Samsung. We'll see if I get a response.

"Hi there,

My name is Mike Hamilton. Me and many other Behold 2 purchasers have been told by Samsung that there will not be an Android update beyond version 1.6 coming to us. I realize that you would not normally be the person to help with this, but myself, along with all of the signatures on this list: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/behold2/ are trying to get Samsung to take care of us. We were all hoping that T-Mobile could talk to Samsung for us as well and try to get them to release the update that was promised when we purchased our phones. Our purpose is to resolve this as easily as possible, and with your company's help, I think all of us loyal customers can make it happen. That petition was started 2 days ago, and already has over 300 signatures. Please let me know if you can assist us, or if you could forward this to someone who could. Thank you for your time."
