Remember a good ol’ days when companies were honest to their customers? Aw, who are we teasing — those days never essentially existed, so it’s great to see Samsung carrying upon a time-honored convention of personification the CYA diversion by belting out a bald-faced distortion or two. So a Behold II for T-Mobile USA has been a theme of a little serious buzz a past few days as buyers have grown sap of the miss of brand-new builds, all while a Android universe has upheld them by with not a single, not dual, not 3, though four major updates. Samsung Mobile eventually pennyless a overpower today on a forum — good upon them — observant which there’s the Donut refurbish in the works featuring “Swype, an softened Media Player, updated core Android applications as well as improved Bluetooth capabilities.”

That’s all good as well as great, though Samsung goes upon to say which “the Behold II is not upgradeable over Android 1.6″ — as well as we’ve got the serious complaint with which wording. We know (and Samsung knows) damn well which they could ascent a Behold II beyond Android 1.6, deliberation that the village has managed to shoehorn even Froyo onto antiquated inclination similar to a Dream; rather than, Samsung chooses not to upgrade it beyond Android 1.6. That’s a business preference that Samsung has to have, and far be it from us to try to pull Sammy into stability to penetrate money into a phone that didn’t sell very good — though the least these guys could do is be honest, face the song, as well as tell us that’s what’s going upon rather than than insulting the common comprehension and insisting which there’s some cosmic force preventing Eclair or Froyo from loading onto a phone which was only released a couple of months ago. Seriously though, Sammy — thanks for a Donut, we theory.

Update: We’ve now received Samsung’s central reply independently as well as have it for you after the break.
