Samsung Behold II reviewed, TouchWiz has to go

It looks like slapping the TouchWiz UI on Android wasn’t the brightest idea. According Engadget’s review the Samsung Behold II may be the one of the least appealing Android device to date. Samsung’s UI is found to be messy and bogs down the performance of the phone which runs the now outdated Qualcomm MSM7200 chipset. Having played with the TouchWIZ UI on the Omnia II I can guarantee you that it can be sometimes painfully to use (flashy colors everywhere, totally useless 3D Cube ,lack of coherence etc..).

While other companies have gone onwards and upwards with Android, we’re afraid that Samsung’s latest is a non-starter. By taking yesterday’s version of Android, an all-but-underpowered processor, and an ill-considered user experience, the company has given us a handset that does far too many things, far too poorly. All this for $229 on contract!
