Well I have some good news and some bad news for Samsung Behold II folks. The good news is you will be getting an update very soon, Android 1.6 that is. The update will feature “Swype, an improved Media Player, updated core Android Applications and improved Bluetooth capabilities.” That sounds all good but what about the promised Android 2.x update?

That’s our bad news of the day, “the Behold II is not upgradeable beyond Android 1.6″.

Samsung Mobile and T-Mobile USA are planning to update the Behold II to Android 1.6 which provides access to Google Maps Navigation, Google Voice Search capability and quick search box for Android. The update will also supply additional benefits including Swype, an improved Media Player, updated core Android applications and improved Bluetooth capabilities. However, the Behold II is not upgradeable beyond Android 1.6.

How do you Behold II owners feel about this? I think I have an idea! [Engadget]
