Goodness, that was quick! We’d expected LG’s Incite smartphone to pop up maybe by the end of the week if we were lucky, did all of our homework, and went to bed on time, but AT&T’s gone ahead and jumped the gun by throwing up the glossy touchphone for sale already. To recap, most of the rumored specs were spot on: wide QVGA, 3-megapixel cam, Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, WiFi, and GPS round out a promising feature set, but you’re plan to pay to the tune of 9.99 on contract before a 0 mail-in rebate on a Visa gift card. What happened to good, old-fashioned cash?

at this time that Samsung’s TouchWiz-enabled Behold is available for the taking on T-Mobile, wouldn’t you like to know if it’s the handset for you? The phone seemed positioned to be the carrier’s entertainment mobile for folks not ready to make the G1 leap, boasting a 3G radio, expansive touchscreen and a 5MP camera. In testing, phonescoop found the handset to be a dash of good and a dash of bad, with the UI being deemed “decent, but not great,” the camera quality to be less than awesome and the music player “capable” enough (despite the omission of a 2.5 / 3.5-millimeter headphone jack). In sum, critics determined that the Behold was worth considering if you’re “in the market for a touch device that has a better-than-average feature set,” but don’t expect it to blow your mind or anything.
