It looks like another Android handset is available on Cincinnati Bell and it's the Samsung Behold II. This smartphone is available on the carrier for $129.99 on a 2-year contract after a $100 mail-in rebate or for $229.99 contract-free after a $100 mail-in rebate. Phandroid has confirmed that this handset will be running stock Android. Buy it now on Cincinnati Bell's website here.

It just launched yesterday, but Phandroid has already cut the price of the Samsung Behold II to just $99.99 USD on a 2-year contract. New T-Mobile customers can start taking advantage of this deal here.

Well, it's November 18th and that means that T-Mobile USA is supposed to release the Android-based Samsung Behold II. And yes, they did just that. It's available now for $229.99 on a 2-year contract. Check it out on T-Mobile USA's website here.

T-Mobile has just mentioned that they'll be launching the Samsung Behold II on November 18th, which is next Wednesday. It'll be available for $199 if the rumours are true. In case you forgot, this handset features: a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, Android 1.5, aGPS / WiFi / 3G / Bluetooth support, and a microSD card slot.

Update: According to Slash Gear (and a bunch of other sites), this will actually be launching for $229.99 USD on a 2-year contract on November 18th - not for $199.

This leaked photo appears to be what the BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the Samsung Behold II prices will be when they launch. Both prices will be the exact same for both handsets: $199.99 USD on a 2-year contract and $449.99 contract-free. The big shocker is that the Behold II will be launching for $199.99 since we've been hearing a couple of times that'll be launched for $249.99 on 2-year contract. But, trust me, I'm not complaining about it being a bit cheaper - even though it should probably be $179 or, even better, $149.

Don't forget that the Behold II should be made official tomorrow.

It looks like T-Mobile is just about ready to officially unveil and announce the Android-based Samsung Behold II. This event will take place on November 12th, just like it says, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. so mark that on your calendars if you're interested. You shouldn't be expecting much since we know all about it already. The Behold II features: a 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, aGPS / WiFi / 3G support, and 16GB of storage with a microSD card slot.

Let's hope T-Mobile really doesn't plan to launch it for $249.99 on a 2-year contract, because that's overpriced... especially with the Verizon Motorola DROID at just $199.99 starting tomorrow, November 6th.

According to Boy Genius, they're hearing that T-Mobile is delaying the launch of the BlackBerry Bold 9700 a little bit. They're also hearing that when it does launch it'll be available for $199 on a 2-year contract and $449 contract-free. On the other hand, the Samsung Behold II - with Android and its 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display - will, supposedly, be launching on November 18th with an overpriced $249.99 price tag on a 2-year contract.

It looks like this leaked screenshot tells us that the Samsung Behold 2 will be launching on November 18th via T-Mobile. This Android-based handset should be pretty desirable with its: 3.2-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, microSD card slot, and 5MP AF camera.

The other handset that looks like it will get launched is the T-Mobile Tap. We heard about this handset just a couple of weeks ago and we know that it is the Huawei U7510. This handset looks like it will be debuting on T-Mobile as early as November 11th.

The rumours proved to be true. The Samsung Behold II will be another Android handset from them. This handset will feature: a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera, WiFi / Bluetooth 2.1 support, a microSD card slot, and their own TouchWiz 3D UI over top of Google's Android. The release details haven't been mentioned, but we'll see it hit T-Mobile before the holidays.

So we've seen the Samsung Behold 2 before, so this is nothing new. We've seen it at the WiFi Alliance, on Samsung's own website (hidden), and Bluetooth SIG; and now it has just passed the last step, gaining FCC clearance. The Behold 2 looks like it will have: a touchscreen display with a 240 x 400 resolution, a 5MP camera, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR / WiFi / aGPS support, GSM/GPRS/EDGE (850/1900 MHz) / AWS WCDMA/HSPA connectivity, and a measly 1,000 mAh battery.

This phone is headed to T-Mobile, but we still don't know when. It looks like it could be on the cheaper end of the stick, so that will be good news to some consumers.

T-Mobile will be launching another Android-based handset the Samsung Behold 2, codenamed SGH-T939. The design description is the best part of this Bluetooth SIG sheet. It states that this handset will have a 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen display, WiFi support, and "access to Google Mobile services and full web browsing at blazing speeds."

[Phandroid]

It basically confirmed itself. "That SGH-T939 Behold2 spotted in the WiFi Alliance's documents turns out to be Android-equipped without question, seeing how its user agent profile -- found on Samsung's own site -- lists its browser as 'Android Browser.'" Since the original Behold launched on T-Mobile it's a safe bet that the Behold2 will also launch on T-Mobile. I guess this is the replacement for the HTC Hero, since y'know T-Mobile won't be launching it. Let's see if it's just as good though. Price and availability are still unknown.

[Engadget Mobile]

Like the Samsung InstinctQ M900, the Behold2 SGH-T939 has just gotten a Wi-Fi Interopability Certificate. The specs of the successor to the original Behold - that was released last holiday season - have not been mentioned yet, but it should be safe to say that it will have WiFi b/g, 3G, and at least a 5MP camera. It'll hit T-Mobile eventually, but the pricing and release date have not been mentioned yet.
