You've seen the unboxing, you've read over the stats time and time again, you've had the day marked on your calendar for weeks...nay months! The day is finally here! Those days of T-Mobile Customer Service Representatives pushing the aging Wing whenever a customer brings up that "other phone" are now a thing of the past!

Normally, we would have put this up a little earlier, but with the way things are around here I guess it's better late than never right? The Samsung Behold is now available for purchase and upgrade over at T-Mobile in both Espresso and Rose for the low low price of $149.99 after that $50 mail in rebate.

There has been quite a lot of excitement about this phone over in the forums, so head on over to the Samsung area and let us know what you think!

T-Mobile and samsung has begun pushing off their Android 1.6 OS software update, which provides access to Google Maps Navigation, Google Voice Search capability and quick search box for Android.
