    Question get Samsung Behold upon release or wait till G1 gets major update?

    I wanted to get G1, but some essential functions are missing, that I wouldn't get this phone this time, espcially it claims an all-in-one device, but I found some essential functions are missing
    USB connection manager (phone/PAM or mass storage)
    bluetooth profile (DUN, PAN, OBEX, A2DP, COM)
    streaming support (esp realaudio and shoutcast)
    Adobe Flash
    task manager
    working email client
    sync with Outlook

    now Samsung Behold/Tocco is about to be released in 2 weeks, and I am interested to get it, should I?
    I don't mind it's regular phone as long as PAM is supported, that I can use PDA to do the job (HP211 or N800)

    note: this phone will be the final T-Mobile branding phone with contract renewal, hopefully I'll see unlocked 3G phones with WCDMA IV next year, and stay OOC forever after the contract

    I'd go with the Tocco until android/T-mo get all the kinks worked out. That way you can also keep your grandfathered VPN Total internet. There is conflicting information regarding G1 data plan use in other devices.

    People are having issues using the G1 data plan with other devices. Hold on to your Total internet VPN, if i was you:

    my guess is: only epc APN works, but TM506 already has epc APN as default
    hmmm.....
