I'm Going with a MyTouch Slide... Same a the HTC Legend regarding hardware, but more Memory 512/512 ram/rom & a Keyboard... and once it's Rooted & Kernel source. I'm sure we can over clock it to 800mhz or 1Ghz + like they did the Droid.

MyTouch Slide Data Sheet > T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide detailed information (Phone Arena)

Bh you gonna stop work on 2.1 on this phone?
Whats your opinion on Wave Bada os?I want to get something with super amoled but cant decide between galaxy s or wave or desire.

 

[euph_22]

If this is true (I'm still holding out hope, orphaning an android phone after 6 months would do terrible things to Samsung's sales in the long run. Especially since 2.x with T-Wiz [in ALL it's glory] is already out on another phone.), would the Behold 2 be the first orphaned android phone?

idk, that the User choice... I however will never buy another Samsung Device... Though if the Galaxy S uses Odin I might be able to Root it the same way I did the BH2, but I'm not about to pay for one just to test it.....

Regarding the Other Phone's, it's really a judgment call regarding what you like!

I like the Slide which is why I'm going with it...

as for Dev. on teh 2.1 Rom's, no, we don't have source! I can't build anything & we don't have source for the Camera / Sound / RFS / FSR / FSR_STL ... All which are proprietary drivers from Samsung.. My Hands are tied at this point for any major Dev. on this Phone & with the Latest New's I'm Disgusted to the Point I just want rid of this Phone to get off this sinking ship per say..

I suggest everyone do the same imo, but it's the user choice as to what they are wanting, if you like the BH2, then keep it.. I however love to be able to Design Rom's and this phone is moreless stuck with what we have now.. Sad Really!!!

No Sadly, the Galaxy has been Dropped as well, & lets be real regarding this... The behold 2 is the Cousin to the Galaxy... So Yes this pissed me off, but Surprised? no!

 

[derrickps3]

yeah i'm not suprised either. bh_man you did a lot of hard work here, i been watching you, helping others with problems, answering everyone's questions even if they were answered already. it's a shame that you will not be able to work on a custom 2.x rom in the future.


.........lol maybe thats why they are not releasing a 2.x update for the bh2, because they probably see that we uses custom roms anyway and say "oh they managed to get 1.6 on their phones, lets not make a 2.x and let them make their own" lol , but it's a shame. i too don't know if i will buy another samsung device after owning this (free) phone. hell i might even go back to winmo (hd2?? hmmm) but i am focused on becoming a blackberry owner now as i never owned one.

 

[inaz4sun]

I think we should view all of these rumors as just that. Its not official until its official.

 

[deathclutch]

not that it matters at this point, but ive emailed samsung and told them how i and many others felt about this.. and the impact in may have for their future in the phone industry.. hopefully i get some kinda response lol

 

[shawn1224]

Might want to wait on this project emerald before you jump the gun on the MT slide. Everything I've heard so far about this fabled HTC sidekick twist or whatever it is sounds like it's going to be a blockbuster device.

Stay as far away from the Galaxy S as you can.

 

[shawnpeck]

What's the likelihood of putting stock 2.1 on the mt3g slide?

 

[shawn1224]

pretty easy being that it's an HTC phone.

I'm already running the espresso mytouch slide rom on my MT3G 1.2.

 

[shawnpeck]

That's cool. Or not...just because I don't like what they did with the icons. But haveing 2.1 would be awesome.

 

[BH_MAN]

I wouldn't Call it espresso, I was the First to port that Rom & the espresso is based off 2.0.1 frameworks.. The True untouched espresso that is...

It's more the Legend if anything, Hold off why? 512 ram / 512 rom
The CPU is an arm 11 so we know it can be Overclocked. 5mp Camera & Keyboard, plus lwp.

idk, everyone should get what they want though, I'm just in love with HTC again is all... LMAO!!

idk, when I'm told that striaght from a Higher person at samsung... I'm not playing the Guessing game any longer!!

 

[greatsickness]

Is the sales of this phone a direct result of development or lack there of?

Likely Both, it's consider a Failed Product I think in there eye's at this point.

 

[itnet7]

I hear ya man, really sucks....

Wanted to thank you for your time! I will never buy another samsung phone... after having three of them in my household. Your 1.6 Warhead image brought new life to this phone, and gave me hope for the future. This phone had such potential.

Does it come with LWP?, nothing in the system dump indicated it and everything I've heard sounds like it won't come pre stock. Although I'm sure once rooted this won't be a problem.

Anyways, it'll be good to get you back on the HTC side of modding again. Lord knows we can use it.

Well, thought it did, though I'm still not 100% sure why the used the espresso theme.. as the espresso is 2.0.1 & the Slide is 2.1...

But, as with everything time will tell I guess..

Frankly I've heard both, with LWP & Without LWP

I'll ask my buddy that has played with one and let you know what he says.

*EDIT*
No LWP yet.. But that will change once we Root it

 

[spinwizard]

I sure am glad I didn't pay for mine! I hate it, for all those that did. What sucks is that it's a really good base platform, or form.
I thought we would see 2.1 with you Eugene, but Sammy doesn't care about what they have already sold, just what they can sell new. I do, truly, thank you for the ride. It's been a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot.
I think I'm back to a windows phone, as I can't sync to my outlook from the Android. I like the HTC HD2 which is WinMo 7 Series ready. But it's a T-Mo phone. Idk...
HTC does seem to be the way to go, now that they finally built in enough memory to do something with. I guess with Verizon, it's the Incredible, w/ 1g Snapdragon, 8g on board, a 3.7 AMOLED & an 8 Mpx camera, with flash! Also has Android 2.1. still don't know...

 

[shawn1224]

The HD2 won't be seeing a Winmo7 upgrade as it doesn't meet the hardware criteria set forth by Microsoft.

 

[BH_MAN]

Damn, after looking at the Spec. on the Galaxy S, I really really want one.. Just can't bring my Self to get another Samsung Device.. I don't know at this point, do I sell & jump ship, or do I hold out for around Aug. to see if anything new is Released..

oh what to do, lmao..

I feel the same. The issue is that whatever is released in August is sure to be bested by something in November and so on.

The "when to get in" question is always tough. Personally I am going to be getting a NexusOne for T-Mo should nothing epic be announced at Google I/O this week. There wont be much hardware wise that flat out crushes the Nexus for at least 6 months I feel. Android 2.2 is to bring some really sick speed improvements to the N1 with the JIT compiling, so it is certainly shaping up to be a great enthusiast device for the long haul.

Shameless Plug: My BH II is already on Criagslist in Central NJ for anyone interested unlocked.

Thanks again for all of your hard work BH_MAN, your Galaxy ROM really made this device a treat to use!

 

[derrickps3]

i would hold out til august, you never know what might pop out brand spanking new

 

[jazzedmurf]

I would only hold out for third generation Androids because they are supposed to be sporting Tegra chipsets, which is exciting to me.

I hear ya on the Galaxy S specs, though...I just think we'd be walking into the same trap.

EDIT: I went over to the Galaxy S page to leave them a warning, when I saw Behold_This's post, and I was wondering what you guys thought:

"[The Galaxy S is] rumored for a late july, early august release. it's also rumored that touchwiz 3.0 updates will be released to most touchwiz phones currently on twiz 2.0. this includes the behold 2 which, it is rumored, will be receiving the update along with android 2.1 (fyi not all twiz phones run android) the downside is that that will be the behold's last update as the only twiz phone to get froyo (android 2.2) will be the galaxy s...eventually since the galaxy s will ship with 2.1."
