The lines between feature phones and smartphones continues to blur and with these two new devices from T-Mobile that distinction almost cannot be made. The Samsung Behold supports T-Mobile’s new 3G network and is a full touch screen device with the familiar Samsung TouchWiz user interface. The Motorola ZN5 is a sleek and sturdy device with a very good 5 megapixel digital camera with Xenon flash. These two phones are available now for US$150 and US$100 with two-year plan.

The keypad is flush, but there are small jewel-like pieces that let you know where each key is located. They are bit offset, but are quite well spaced and sizable.

There are three areas that light up when you are taking photos with the camera. They are backlit in purple and let you quickly manage your photos.

Purple camera capture button

Purple camera capture button

The metallic purple button lets you focus on your subject and capture images and video. It is on the right side so when the camera is activated the viewfinder switches to landscape mode so that the capture button is on top of the device.

It is nice to have a lock slider on the device to quickly lock out the keypad.

As you can see the camera module protrudes from the back a bit, but there are smooth transitions so it feels good in your hand. The camera lens is covered by a sliding lens cover that I am a big fan of on devices.

The lower part of the back is covered in durable rubber and protects the device while giving you the ability to grip the device.
