Just thought of that huh? Well many share that thought as it has been commented on several times in threads discussing the lack of updates/support for the behold2.

 

Yea I won mine in the beholdgiveaway as well. I'm pretty sure Samsung knew this phone was a disaster from the get go

It was still a lot better than the original Behold that I had previously so I wasn't complaining.

 

I got my behold 2 because i had so many problems with my old handset (samsung T-749 highlight) that it had to be replaced that T-mobile "upgraded" me to this crappy a** phone so I got it for $10 pretty much.

 

its a huge improvement over the highlight...you really shouldn't be complaining at all!! you didn't buy it it was given to you. i'm sorry to be a prick but get over it. a lot of us actually paid top dollar and have a right to be pissed. you didn't pick the phone you didn't buy the phone...YOU GOT A FREE UPGRADE! you should be happy.

 

No not really. My highlight never formatted its SD card by itself the screenlock always worked and did not require a $30 dollar data plan.

How is it I have no reason to complain but the ones that won one do?

Furthermore I was offered the Blackberry 9700 too but took the behold 2 instead because it seemed more tech advanced and was promised a 2.X update by the salesmen so i took it.

 

Everyone IMO has a right to complain. He may not have paid for it, but he still owns one. IMO it's worse for the people that paid top dollar for it, I think I paid around 300 or something with a contract extension.

 

that is simple...THEY DON'T! as i have said before it is not illegal to promote a buggy phone, or give it away! it is illegal to deliberately mislead paying consumers.

 

I paid $170 to upgrade to the Highlight plus $20 for every time it was replaced (4 times) for shipping plus another $50 (with shipping) to upgrade to the Behold 2 less than 2 months later dumping the accesories I had for the highlight ($20 gel case and $15 car charger).

So in a span of 2 months I spent over $300. And I can't complain?

 

I would Complain, after all you came from a Lemon to another lemon lmao...
either way only Time will tell..

 

This phone doesn't require a data plan... that is 100% optional.

 

Yea but they force you in to one for the upgrade price.

 

The only way I could get the Behold 2 is to lock in the data plan for 2 years at $25 a month (grandfathered in) so that is $600 that I will pay for the outdated android over the next 2 years.
