Going T-Mobile

GOING T-MOBILE

WHICH ONE SHOULD I GET?

Since deciding to no longer be with AT&T because of their unhelpful, discourteous customer service both on the phone and in the stores. I’m wanting to get with T-Mobile, and there are 2 phones they have that I really like. They are both Samsung models, and have touch screens. One is the Samsung Behold! And the other is the Samsung Memoir. Technically the Memoir is the newer version to the Behold. They have equal features for the most part, the main difference is that the Behold! is a 5MP camera and the Memoir is a 8MP Camera. Really anything more than 2 makes me happy so that really isn’t a factor with deciding between these models. The Memoir looks like an actual camera you would have from the back. So does the Behold! but not as much as the Memoir. Again this isn’t a deciding factor for me as I like them both. Other then the Megapixels on the cameras the major difference between these is the price. The Behold! is $79.99 and the Memoir is $199.99. Yes I know exactly what your thinking I should get the cheaper one.

Below I’ve listed the features for each model first up is the Samsung Behold! Features & Pictures:

So now that you’ve seen the differences, which are very few between them as I look at these lists I’m more drawn to the Behold! then the Memoir. First of all because of the price obviously, and secondly it comes with a calculator! The Memoir does not and I have IM on my PC I don’t need it on my phone. So I think my mind is made up maybe in a few days I’ll write up another post telling you to Behold my Behold!!! lol that just sounds funny.
