That whole Samsung/Behold II/Android 2.x drama we talked about yesterday just took a turn for the worst. Ya, Samsung pretty much hates you guys -- you guys as in the one's who picked up a Behold II with the belief Samsung was actually serious about supporting it longer than six months.
Unfortunately, speculation that Sammy was cuttin' and runnin' has been confirmed with an official tweet and forum reply to disgruntled end users stating the highest they'll be able to upgrade is Android 1.6....
[Update:] Samsung Behold II owners seeking legal action after Sammy renigs on 2.x promises.

You know a phone isn't that great when it's released with old, outdated software. Unfortunately, in the Android world the practice is all too common. What's worse however is buying a phone with the aforementioned outdated software and promises of near future upgrades only to find out the opposite is true, that the company who swooned you with flashy advertising was lying and is unwilling to right their wrong.

It's pretty comical to witness two companies going at each others throats. The most recent and humorous example of such a fight has blossomed between Apple and Adobe -- Apple calling Adobe developers fat and lazy and Adobe hitting back saying they're ready and are more than "efficient". Exciting stuff huh? But there is one thing far funnier -- someone or some company lying about a partnership, deal, or collaboration that never took place. Who would do such a thing? None other than your frie...

Not content with paying off government and coating them with lies, it appears AT&T has moved on to us bloggers and the tech community as their next target. Only problem is, we have a brain and are capable of seeing past their PR nonsense. Everyone knows AT&T's network blows epic amounts of private parts. From the north to the south to the east and to the west, the experience is the same. Their network is riddled with holes, over-taxed towers, and even the possibility of an improperly configu...
