Samsung T459 Gravity - User Reviews

  • I really enjoy the phone but i dont know why it does'nt browse and also does'nt play mp4 videos it only show unsupported file.

  • I bought one jan 09, just now replacing it. I treated it horribly and it served me well!, bought a smart phone , poor little guy could no longer keep up with my growing demands on him, great phone , tough too!

  • i bought this phone back when it was first released and i loved it and it works great

  • i bot it last three days i cnt find my internet settings nd i cant browse infact z useles

  • Not bad. I had this phone 5 years ago. This is a great phone to maybe give your child as a first phone.

  • i had this phone for 3 days only and is no good,no web browser,no picture messaging.this phone is good for texting.Dont buy this phone it sucks.

  • This phone sucks! It has bad battery life and has lots of use less buttons. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY ... DONT BUY IT! IT IS A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've had and used samsung gravity t-459 for almost 4 months and i was only able to use its browser for about 2 months but now,i can't since i can't find its settings.

  • very nice phone for text msg and very strong set

  • I've had this phone for 3 or 4 years now. It's relatively easy to text on, but there are a few issues. Well, not just a few. 1)You can only use four ringtones for a text message, you can not customize it. 2)This phone has a short battery life, which gets EVEN SHORTER the longer you have it! 3)Tge sound quality you get during a phone call when it is set on Speaker Phone is very poor. 4)This is not a good phone to have if you plan on keeping your phone more than 2 years. When you text, it will sometimes not register with the phone that you have oressed a certain letter, ir it will type the letter twice. Another problem, one that just sprung up for me about 5 days ago, is the screen becomes defective. You can only see color, everything else is simply a pixelated blur, and images tend to slightly shift. I hope my review was helpful!

  • it's the best phone in the world. The keypad is soft and nice feeling, which i love. I have the white and aqua one, the lime green one and grey one looks bad. Whatever ppl say about the battery is untrue, it's never happened to me, and i charge my phone evry night when i get home from school. I recomend getting a phone with IM, a good camera, A keybored Well, at least that's what i think

  • I have had this phone for about 2 years and i mean, it's the best phone in the world. The keypad is soft and nice feeling, which i love. I have the white and aqua one, the lime green one and grey one looks bad.

  • phone is great. i love the keyboard and the camera takes great pictures. thumbs up on this cellphone

  • I haven't to use the internet option. the fournissuer internet have not configured the connexion internet

  • If your looking to get a phone that will make you happy... don't get this one. This phone is SO disapointing. The camera, well, can they even call it a camera? I call it multiple specks of colour scrambled onto a screen. It has viterually nothing to do but text. There are so many phones you can text with, just about the same way, that are like 100,000 times better than this! The call quality is also scratchy and unruly. Save yourself the stress, don't have to deal with this phone. Get another one thats not as unconditionally bad. I don't have any good thing to say about this phone except for one: I'm taking it back to the shop.

  • i am 12 and i like this phone its not bad because some 12 year olds have iphones im like spoiled and they heave all these other phones but its okay luv the white and blue!!

  • It's good for it's price, but in general it still sucks. The keyboard is nice but for me it would sometimes double click a letter, so my message wwoouulldd bbee lliikkee tthhiiss. Camera quality is pretty bad, the back cover is hard to take off, the small cover over the charger slot is hard to pull off, it has a small memory, and you cannot have custom text tones (they supply you with 4, you cannot add any or set music on your phone as a text tone). If you text a lot and don't care about the tones they provide, this is a pretty decent phone. For music lovers like me it sucks, since it can't hold many songs and the songs you put on your phone can only be set as ringtones, not text tones. Unlike some other reviewers, my battery was fine.

  • I've this phone but it cannot display anything on the screen where can it be repaired?

  • I have had this phone for about 2 years and i mean, it's ok. Not the best phone in the world but it's ok. The keypad is soft and nice feeling, which i love. I have the white and aqua one, the lime green one and grey one looks bad. Whatever ppl say about the battery is untrue, it's never happened to me, and i charge my phone evry night when i get home from school. But i really want to get a new phone, cuz this one is kinda outta style now. I recomend getting a phone with IM, a good camera, A keybored and Touch screen. Well, at least that's what im getting! Peace out! : )

  • gaylee loves this phone!

  • This phone is okay for texting but terrible for calling and anything else. It gets very scratched up easily, and the back cover is very thin. I recommend not buying this. It also has no signature.

  • I have this phone and i like it. It's better for texting because it has a full keypad. i love it's design. I RECOMMEND THE PHONE (ESPECIALLY TO PEOPLE WHO TEXT ALOT)

  • At first this phone looks attractive and i am one of those unfortunate people that went for its looks.I just wanted a basic phone with a nice Qwerty keyboard.Although the keyboard is nice and all and the phone performs basic tasks well, here are a few things that i experienced that your cell phone provider won't tell you right away about the phone: 1.150 text message capacity on phone.(Then delete to make space). 2.Poor battery life. 3.For some reason the phone accidentally turns off by itself in your pockets (random buttons pressed ?:S).(This also drove me crazy because i would have to deal with friends who were angry with me since they kept calling and texting and i didn't even know. 4.The slot for charging/headphones is annoying to open unless you have long nails or something sharp to open it. 5.No custom ring-tones unless you pay for them online. 6.The interface is sketchy and looks unprofessional or as if it's for some earlier model phone from year 2000 or something. 7.The microphone where you speak from is located under the phone,rather than the front,making it sometimes difficult to get your voice heard. 8.The phone is bulky and kinda heavy, and who thought up of the "lime green and Grey"color combination?:S The "white and aqua" looks a bit better. *These are just my own opinions from personal use of this phone,your opinion may be different.Just trying to help people make better choices.Cheers*

  • how do you set up the signature on the phone bcuz i cant figure it out

  • My 11 year old son just bought a second hand Samsung T459 Bravity with T-Mobile branding. The specifications should include that the micro memory card capacity according to the official Samsung specifications reads: "External Memory - up to 4gb microSD" Though this is a relatively modest phone using 2008 technology, it suits his purpose for texting his buddies. For apps and games he prefers his iTouch or PSP. He paid $10 for the phone with charger. He swapped his SIM card in 2 minutes and was up & running. It replaced his hand-me-down T-M Sidekick.

  • Well, guess voceis Everyone is crazy This Cell and horrible. At first everything is lovely and beautiful dpois ... THERE AFTER there Suffering 1 No memory sulficiente MET 2], a camera resolution is very bad 3 The volume of musicass .. Neither speak ii 4 To have mTeclado mto loko q Being able to use the Internet to you has a pay package absurd! I think it is not so good, already have the A10 esei months and what I'm saying Oh and she still travandooo .. When you open and close the phone it is complicated! good do not give so much credit!

  • cool cuz i've dyin 4 this phone and i was hoping that it would b good since all the LG phones have a battery problem and so tht limits my choices in phones, cuz a lot of phones are LG. i luv the white and aqua phone. but i only found the grey and green phone

  • cool cuz i've dyin 4 this phone and i was hoping that it would b good since all the LG phones have a battery problem and so tht limits my choices in phones, cuz a lot of phones are LG. i luv the white and aqua phone. but i only found the grey and green phone

  • Can you set up a signature on texts?

  • Yah I would recommend it. Its a pretty good. I've had mine for two months and haven't had any problems it's not hard to figure out and messaging doesn't take long. =)

  • would u guys recomend this phone? cuz im getting it this summer.

  • I dont have this phone but ive been hearing and reading things just like this. i was wondering is it possible to record a song or a noise and set them as ringtone/txt tone? it might work it might not. Im getting the phone tmrw though and i can not wait! Let me know if it works.

  • I hate it because it always shuts itself off and it cannot do much.

  • this is a good little phone BUT it doesnt transfer phonebook or call display to alot of bluetooth systems. I just spent $1500 on a bluetooth system for my work truck and now have to buy a new phone to use it.

  • thay no right bacuse the samsung gravity it can not get viriousssssssssssss

  • this phone is a very good simple phone everything is fine with this phone except with the battery but u can save more battery by going to these steps settings display settings backlight duration then after duration click on 15 sec and turn the dim off then go to brightness and go to the lowest light save it. it should help your phone batter hoped it helped :)

  • i really like this phone becuase its a big upgrade form what i had, and i dont feel out fo place whereever i go cuas ei have an up to date phone. and the feautres r nice

  • this phone really sucks. you cannot personalize text tones, the battery will charge all night and then loose a cell as soon as you take it off the charger, it can't read all memory cards, you cannot turn off the shutter noise if you wish to take a picture, and it can only hold anout 150 text messages before you have to start deleting them

  • no

  • I love the color & the way it works!

  • i love my phone

  • I bought a Nokia 2720 phone at Target for $29(on sale from $39) as a prepaid phone. It came with 10 free min, but I just put in my contract T-mobile SIM card. My reason for switching from a Samsung Gravity to a $30 Nokia is that the Gravity gets very poor reception, especially in my home. So far problem solved. Not one dropped call yet. I've had the Nokia for a few days now. The Gravity would drop a call within 2-3 min, or at best the other party couldn't hear me. No bars all over my home, now, at least 2 bars and only one report of my voice sounding weird.

  • good phone hate the battery and how complicated it can be to turn off and on ur t9 and that ya can't set u own text ringtone or a automatic signature on all ur text

  • can it go on facebook plz answer

  • My samsung mobile used to re start its self when i click on to my tzone. what is the problem, pls help me to fix the problem for me.

  • hate that i can't do anything else when the music is playing. hate that i can't set my ringtones... the qwerty keyboard doesn't do much for me.. its all flat so aint too good.. barely use it at all. cute but really just ok.

  • This phone is pretty good. The battery life is not too great. The only thing that really bugs me is that I cannot set my own sound for when I get a text. The phone only offers four tones that I personally don't love.

  • HI, As far as the t-zone button, you can press the asterisk and it will lock the phone so that buttons don't get pressed when you're not using it. As for the battery, you can go to the setting and lower the brightness so that it doesn't die too quickly. BTW, I just got the phone yestarday and I am still in testing mode, but so far I really like it. Also, I found out that you can check your email for free by going to m.yahoo.com on your tzones. It's the only site that I have found to work, I am still checking. If you go to the IM and Email from the menu you get charged for every message sent or received, but going to the m.yahoo.com site is free :)

  • can you put a att sim card in it ?

  • this is overall a very good phone. But i have been having memory issues. I would suggest that if you are getting this phone (which i recomend) you should get a micro-sd card which is not included

  • I just got this phone is actually cooler than what I tought, only problem the music player is outdated and you can only choose playlist of 50 songs but everything else is awesome

  • I LOVE the look of this phone and am waiting to see if my parents will buy it for me. The only questions I have are: Is this a good phone for a 12 year old? How is the messaging memory? Is the cam good? Is the Qwerty keyboard cramped? Please reply

  • I got this phone just over a week ago (I know, late!) and so far, I love it! There are only a few flaws.. When you text in T9 mode, using the front number keypad, I'm a fast texter and if you press the buttons too fast, it can't keep up with you so if you press the "6" three times it might just get you to the "N" instead of the "O". Another thing is, the battery life pretty much sucks.. but not all of the time. I don't have to charge my phone every night, and I text a lot. During school, I keep my phone off (most of the time) and I text on the bus in the morning and the afternoon. The battery isn't too bad, but it's definitely not has good as average phones. One day I texted kind of a lot, and my battery was out by 4:00 pm. Something that really annoys me is the t-zones button on the phone. I'm not sure how to explain it, but the left button is the menu, and the right button is t-zones. I didn't get internet, and more than a few times now, I accidentally went to t-zones while putting my phone in my jeans pocket. There are only two options for the phone theme. :( white and black. not cool. The keyboard is amazing and I love the smoothness of the phone. Overall, I give this phone a 7.5 out of 10 stars. :)

  • the only thing i dont like about the phone is you cant set ur ringtones as ur message tone and that the message dont pop up like the other phones do!!!! you have to exit all the way out of anything ur doing and then read it!!!! other than that the phones awsome

  • its a good phone , but its not let n me put music on it

  • The only thing i dnt like bout diz phone is da whole idea dat u only got 4 lame choices for ur txt alerts..! =(

  • yes this will work the ATT

  • It is really cool except the camera is kinda not the best:( u can't listen listen to the mp3 and leave the mp3 screen that kinds sucks and the battery is ok. The keypad is ok and overall it is a good phone espically for the price

  • not true, many phones, for example the HTC touch have WI fi built into them!

  • I got my wife this phone when we switched from at&t. Neat little phone but recently been having issues with txt msg storing. Aparently it stores on the sim instead of phone memory so she can only get 30 txts haven't found a solution to this yet, so if anyone knows how to set it up to save onto the phone memory that would be GREAT! ***ALSO for anyone that wants to use 4gb microsd hc download gparted and format the microsd to fat16. Turn off the phone, insert the microsd, turn phone on and let it load the folders, remove it and now you have all the preset folders for the phone, load ur music & pictures that you want and insert the microsd back into the phone. Viola!

  • how much memory does it come with??? or do i have 2 buy a memory card 2 put stuff on it

  • its ok i hate low batterreys da hater s hate cuz wtf and so i shot it my boy freind darryl got it 4 me

  • i love this t=phone i hat teh haters ); ):(:

  • this is a very good phone other than the low battery. especially if you text alot.

  • The battery life is fairly decent. But if you're a super heavy texter you might need to charge this phone every night/day. This phone, I think is only for T-Mobile too, I may be wrong please correct me. The only down I found in this phone would be the keyboard has no T9 or Word function for extra fast texting. That feature is only for the normal number pad. Oh yea this phone has great internal mememory too! Half a gigabyte or a whole gig can't remeber! Please forgive me of my mispelling, and puntucation too. I hoped my review helped!

  • I have to phone too, the battery's to small so everyone's runs out quickly but if you go to settings then all the way down to backlight and go to duration and put that really low and little or no dim then go to brightness and turn it down all the way it last a lot longer!

  • and plus the screen is half the size of the phone so i dont what phone your looking at

  • touch dialing is crap u always hit the rong numbers

  • oh and the camera sucks

  • its good i like the keyboard but i hate that u cant make a signiture and the basterlyy life is decsent but wen it messes up yourcontacts names if ou texts to many people at 1 time is realy annoing bcause i send people the rong messages...but it doesnt happen very frequently

  • Cheap knockoff of LG KS360. This phone does not have style and character like the LG. Plus..very small screen and No touch dialing..

  • does any1 knows if i use an unlocked gravity for my at&t sim card, can i access my email using the phone? does any1 uses this phone for att?

  • hello!! I need to know if I can use mp3 sounds for the messages, someone toldme that u can do that... The battery is good?? Or u have to charge it a lot... Thank u, I�m from Uruguay

  • i dont know what happen to my phone, the battery runs out really fast even though it is new, i just got it.

  • Well... If you go to settings. Then Display Settings. Then Backlight. Duration. On-10 sec,dim-5 sec. Cancel. Brightness go to 2. Voila! Longer lasting battery. Pros- 1.3 Mp camera,Full QWERTY keyboard,IM,E-Mail, small and cheap, 2.0 bluetooth. Cons- .............none...

  • why dose the screen get really lose affter sliding out the keyboard and the o.k. craps out

  • I have this phone and have been looking for a way to get a signature. I supposes this phone doesn't have one. Thats probably the worst part about this phone.

  • I have a question. what about the texting... is it good with the flat notes and big keybord???

  • Great phone in general. Not as fat as older slide out querty phones and the screen is nice and big. The keyboard isn't easy to use at first because of the recessed keys, but after a bit you can fly. I don't know why it doesn't have FM radio which samsung has standard on a bunch of their phones. Also the MP3 player is wonky.

  • Hey Debbie, Im pretty sure the samsung gravity has a speaker phone. cause i read a review that said the lady loveeeeddd the speaker phone. so i think it does. call tmobile or something and ask if you wanna be 100% sure. hope i helped.

  • i want this phone sooooo bad :)

  • You must be dumb. cause there is no phone in the world that doesnt show the caller name. you cant just put the number in without the area code or it wont work. im sure tmobile did not confirm this and you misunderstood or are trying to be cool. have you ever noticed that if you get a call from someone who is not in your phonebook the number includes the area code???? so you have to save it like that in your phone book. the phone doesnt know what area code you want. there are numbers that are the same in different area codes. it works, this is not a big deal. you just need area codes.... like every other phone

  • Some phones have different internal antennas and and maybe your old one had an antenna which made it better. but you might be able to fix this by buying an antenna booster. all you need to do is go to google and type in "antenna booster" it should work and they are not to expensive, all you need to do is take off the back and take the battery out and take the adhisive off the back of the antenna booster and stick it to the phone (between the battery and phone) make sure where it say "up" is facing the top off the phone. i also know how it is to not have service, i barely get it at my house! but i hope this helps, cause i know how important it is to have service! :]

  • Really good phone New Wallpapers Website

  • i really love this phone...i got it like 2 weeks aqo the battery kinda sucks but i always have the charger in hand....i love my samsung t459 gravity

  • Isn't the Gravity already released, it says on this page that it isn't. I have many friends with this phone and was quite confused. :) Thankyou!

  • How many sms can u storage in this phone?

  • this i the worst phone ever

  • it's nice

  • beautfull desing perfect the best

  • what Operative System it have ?

  • wich SO it have?

  • when is it out? status says mot out or something??

  • 1-10 id give it a 7...battery life is horrible..its borin without the internet....

  • Pros: *full keyboard without adding too much size *great screen, big and clear *easy to use menus *easy access to microSD card *easy to use camera with good settings *dedicated sms button Cons: *very limited customization: can't reassign keys or menus *phone based on t-zones so if you don't have it, you're constantly going to a dead end *keyboard is tricky to learn, flat keys *limited tones for calls, alerts, msgs, etc. *proprietary headphone jack and charger. Why can't they get on the mini USB bandwagon. *can't listen to music while doing anything else. yep, you can't leave the music screen and still listen to music. *not easy to reset all memory settings.

  • idk how do you go to it huh let me kno how much was it thnxxxxxx kaka you the best

  • This phone is about as basic as it gets. You can't do much of nothing far as personlizing it other than a wallpaper and ringtone. The battery life stinks. The only good thing I have to say about it is the querty keyboard.

  • does the samsung gravity have flash? if soo how do i go to it

  • does the samsung gravity have flash?

  • signature? how do i make one?

  • i just brely got the phone and i like it sure battery is kinda stupid but that hasnt been much of a problem i just wish you could post a signature

  • their is no use on having this fone if your not going to have unlimited texting & internet

  • if you charge it for more than two hours it starts to drain out the battery one day i texted all day and it didnt loose one bar so my suggestion is that u only charg it for 2 hours

  • I am thinking about getting this phone. Is it worth the $200??

  • Not "Coming soon" anymore, it's now available in many countries. In Brazil it's called "Scrapy" (exactly like that), an allusion to making scraps in social networks. Orkut is particularly popular in my country.

  • The new battery isn't any better i am sorry to tell you :(

  • so i just bought the gravity and i LOVE it, the only thing i dont like is how my messages save to my sim card, how can i change that? any help?

  • Getting one in June 2009

  • Omg that texting thing where they're names get mixed up! That happens to me too. its so annoying. i always send something to the wrong person.

  • I want it sooo bad but my dad won't let meeh get one he says i have to wait til 9th grade and i get my sisters hand me down its not the fone i want and it pink and her case has a J on it urg!! If I want the fone I have to buy my own plan so my dad better get ready to sign idc if I have it 4 2 years I want it sooo bad! I already have $80 so close!!!

  • I'm having terrible reception with mine and am on the 2nd replacement. Battery problem got solved and you're right - the texting is super (that's why I got it since my boss texts like crazy). T-mobile doesn't want to help me get different model until I've gone through 3 replacements to get it covered under warrantee. I use is for work (I'm a road warrior) and my previous Motorola phone didn't have any reception problems. Any suggestions? This is driving me crazy!!!

  • okay i figured that out on my own now how do i get the darn phone to read my memory card

  • what drivers would i need im starting to hate the processes why dont they make it dork proof

  • i can't download samsung studio in order for me to put music on ma phone

  • i love this phone sooo much love the key board but i have tons of battery probsand i cant find how to get auto sign. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Make sure that you have the right drivers loaded on your computer and make sure the phones USB Mode Setting is on "Modem" I could'nt get the Samsung PC Studio to work with my phone either until I tried switching the USB Setting from Mass Storage to Modem. The mass storage setting is if you want to transfer to a memory card. PC Studio only transfers to and from the phones memory and so you want the USB on "Modem" setting Works perfectly now

  • why doesnt the samsung software work with my phone ? downloaded the studio stuff from thier site and it wont reconize the phone.

  • This phone is the sweetest phone in the whole world even better than an LG Scoop. (Veronica)

  • *qwerty

  • I'm using a Gravity as a temporary phone. I haven't had any problems with the battery life so far, but I get horrible reception with this thing! I can barely get service in my own house. The QEWRTY isn't the best, either. It's a little too crammed. The phone is quite heavy, too. It makes my old N95 seem like a feather-weight.

  • i love my gravity =]. although the battery life is gay it's not that big of a deal just make sure u have a charger with you always

  • I have this phone and i think that its nice. Veryyyy cheap and thats good. Has basic stuff any other phone would have but i specially like the keyboard.yeaaaaaa. The only thing i would like is to put your own tones for when u get a text. Also, when u open the phone the background that u put doesnt expand like the default backgrounds do.

  • yeah my bfff frieind has it and she loves it

  • I love this phone . Its amazing. The only thing that does not work good is the camera on it . It always takes blurry pictures . but other than that I LOVE THIS PHONE . Its easy to text , call people , and it has all sorts of things on it

  • I love my Samsung T459 Gravity. The users who have said there is nothing wrong with the battery are right. It is the battery life indicator. For example, if you only see one line left on the indicator, there is about 40% battery life left. Kind of like when your car's gas gauge is a bit off. No need to panic when it shows low, only when it blinks red. The phone works beautifully, does great texting and takes great pictures. T-Mobile told me that Samsung is working on the issue with the battery life indicator and will let us all know when it is fixed and tell us what to do. I love this phone!!! Go Samsung!!!

  • what is the text message memory and does it save sent messages as well?

  • Do you mean, you didnt use it after buying it then charged it or did you use it for teh day then charged it? Because I bought it, used it at that moment, because the dude who gave me the phone did everything for me, so my phone was turned on after a minute, then the battery began to drop. I had to recharge it when I got home.

  • Love the phone overall. Message tones suck, however. There are only 4 choices and they're all too mellow and soft. Can't seem to figure out how to change them. You can load your own ringtones with a microSD card, but not message tones it seems. That really sucks. Got it for 50 dollars via tmobile.com with 2 yr. extension. There's a 50 dollar rebate so basically, it's free. Big step up for me as the phone it replaced was a nokia 3390. Would have really liked an iPhone or g1 but can't see spending so much on the data plans.

  • Get a usb cable for the Gravity. Make sure you get the right samsung drivers installed on your computer. Then download the Samsung PC Studio from the Samsung Mobile Website. Its a free download and it actually works pretty good. With the Phone Explorer feature you can upload files to your phone or download files to your computer and do it easily.

  • i need help dowloading my pictures from phone to computor

  • this phone is absolutely amazing. the best thing is definitly texting. the QWRTY keyboard is so easy to use. amazing phone!

  • Like someone else mentioned, the Gravity is just a basic phone. Its meant for basically talking and texting. It has other features like stereo bluetooth, usb, memory card slot. All in all Its feature set is appropriate for a phone of it's price. So therefor I disagree with the person who says its useless. For the people who just want to talk and text and don't want to blow a load a load of money on a phone whose features they don't need or will use, a phone like this will serve their needs well. The bottom line is if you want a smartphone.....buy a smartphone. But don't expect to get smartphone features and capabilities for the price of a basic phone. Its hard to criticize the Gravity when it can be had for next to nothing. Its a basic phone at a basic price.

  • thanks for the help

  • You can talk and text with it. What the &#@% else useful does the average person need to do with a phone. This phone is'nt for the people who need a $500 phone to give them directions to the closest McDonalds or who can't wait to get home to check their Myspace....LOL Its a basic phone, nothing more and nothing. Decent value for the money

  • i know thats wat im wondering

  • The battery life is a known issue with this phone, however according to Samsung and T-Mobile the issue is not with the battery itself but with the battery indicator. The reps I have spoken with have advised their customers not to worry about charging the device until the battery indicator is blinking, as the phone will typically last a fairly long time with only 1 battery bar remaining.

  • well k@am i have to say..., nothign to do with this phone it just have that fancy QWERTY keyboard... nothing else, the camera must be good for the price 1,3 mpix doesnt seem to be too much but in my collection of phones i have a samsung E496 and it has a pretty good 1.3 mpix camera. Now, why this phone is a waste of money?, because u cant do anything useful with it!, it has that fancy QWERTY keyboard but it doesnt have wifi to use it as a really portable laptop, it doesnt even support 3G to have a decent internet....,is just a waste, if u want a good phone you should look for a more expensive samsung or maybe a nokia with symbian. the only thing u can do with this phone is write SMS really fast...

  • does this phone have a texting signature??

  • what is the best thing to do with this phone? i hope its a good phone cuz i want it bad for my b-day.

  • ....everything works fine for me...when people call, their name shows and everything...its just the battery life thats getting to me...but i turned my phone off and charged it until it said full battery...lets see how long this lasts.... my question is: How do i save the text messages to the phone's memory instead of the sim card automatically? i know how to do it manually.

  • A nice mobile phone with latest features, with edege gprs, camera , bluetooth, and much more Thanks & regards

  • pc studio 3, mass storage...

  • For all you ppl that are loving this phone, BUT haven't yet got one?? or the ppl that already have this phone, but hate the battery life??? GOOGLE NOKIA 5730 in phone-arena. It's gonna be the phone for you. It's got every thing you'll need...I'm dying for it to come out...lol I must warn you, you'll love it. lol

  • Does the phone have a built in GPS? Is it licensed?

  • i argee with u but i don't know about the batterey cause i never had it so idk about that!i think i would love it just like you !!

  • i want this phone! it iooks soooo kool i love it and keep making kool phones!!

  • How do I get music onto my music player?

  • i love this phone except the battery life. everything else is GANGSTA!!! and the caller id does too work you just have to add the area code... like if it is 828 then put 828-***-**** and that solves your problem. i believe you should get this phone it is the best thing ever. oh and another thing it doesn't have a signature and i really like signatures but i looooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this phone i cried when i got it for christmas... ~yours truly, tibley~

  • Battery life sucks.. (im a huge texter) fully charged at 8am, dead by noon big turn off: music stops when you close the 'window' when you text more than like 3 people at the same time, it mixed up the names. ex) it says text from 'mike' when its really a text from 'ariel' another problem, the alarm! you can only set it to sound an alarm or tone. not vibrating.. sucks. message tones suck too.. other than that.. its alright.. would i recommend it to someone else? nope.. im thinking about selling mine and getting another one.. i cant stand the battery life.. if you get it, invest in a car charger. you'll need it.

  • OMFG!ive always wanted this phone!everytime i paste myself on doing SUCH A THING, i just memorize that if i do it I WILL GET THE SAMSUNG GRAVITY but i dont know if i will get it or not...>:[ but if i will get this PHONE, i will definitley need ur helps!and i am very obsessed with this phone!whenever i see anyone using this phone, i feel very GLAD even though im not holdng one YETT!because it makes me feel that one day,i know i will have that phone on my hand(SOMEDAY i wish soon!during this weekend)THANKS FOR OFFERING UR HELPS AND NEEDS!!! :]

  • Ok I would like to take back one statement..... Now that I have been using the phone....The battery life is sucky... the 1st three bars go down REALLY quick...I FULLY charged it @ 7pm on the 10th... and it was on 2 bars @ 5pm on the 11th... and i was on the phone for 2hrs at one time...it went down to one bar about 12am.......and i let it stay that way and it was starting to die @ 7:45am...so hopefully since tmobile is aware they will fix this!!!! other than tht I LOVEEE THE PHONE!

  • yES, you may set the pics to go to your memory card. I just recieved my phone...so here is MY review... The phone is PERFECT =] It has all the features you need of a smart phone exept wifi and all the other junk i didnt use on my BB Curve. The pictures are decent, the sound is good! nice and loud..speakphone is great! call quality is good. The texting buttons are good on the front and the qwerty board. Battery life FOR ME, has NOT been a problem. You can set pic id's and ringers for ppl in your address book. You can set mp3s to your phone from your memory card, just move from card to a playlist. The phone is a really good, budget friendly phone tht has everything you need from an organiser to keep appts, frames for your pics with photo editor for fun, music player, and great for texting! I hve had some of the most expensive phones, nd I LOVE my gravity. Also the phone is solid, sturdy feeling....doesnt feel light weight and cheap.... CONS: the d*** messaging tone can NOT be changed.....nd the pre set tones suck... hhaha but thats the only quirk i have found, along with the basic kiddy style menu samsung had in 2004 =) HOPE THIS HELPS! Rate this phone an 8.8/10 =]

  • Maybe she shouldn't open it with such force

  • hey ur phone should be coming soon....i ordered mine Jan. 23rd with the free shipping and it will arrive tomorrow so they have had some in stock since the 5th of feb.....finally!!! my stupid curve sucks and screws up too much! its a downgrade but i hope its a good one!! well enjoy ur phone!

  • Are you able to default the picture destination when you take pictures to the memory card? I had the Samsung Blast and I was unable to do so. Thanks in advance.

  • I just ordered this phone like 2 weeks ago..and it still has not arrived I bought it for like 50$ online I think that this phone is much better than the sidekick cos the sidekick isnt sturdy (no offense to the sidekick lovers)....my friend just got one, and once she tried to open it the thing flew off I thot it wuz pretty funny but its sucks for her. all im saying is that samsung gravity isnt half bad honestly

  • the battery is horrible! i need to charge the phone every single day. are other people having the same problem?

  • Also can u talk on speaker with the keyboard closed??? music as well??

  • This phone better be pretty d*** good cuz now another week...its sold out like hotcakes!!!!!!!!

  • you have to add the area code so the caller id can show up

  • Oh ok...well the message tone wont be that big of a deal. And as far as battery goes, im a 24yr old stay at home mother so I'm always @ a charger. Lol alot of people get very touchy if the phone doesnt stay charged for 3-4 days....I'm happy if it will last one day!!! But thanks! Maybe there is a way @ the message tone...who knows =] My aqua comes in Friday so we shall see if I like it. I have had about 60 diff phones in 2 yrs soooo im sort of picky =]

  • Two excellent things about this phone that must be applauded are its bluetooth feature which works like a charm. Its paired with anything and everything i've tried to pair it with and it keeps the connection open. I've had more expensive phones where the bluetooth was useless. The second thing is the absolute ease of transferring music, pix, ringtones to and from the phone. Whether i'm loading to the phone or memory card, the USB Connection transfers with ease.

  • Nope

  • can you set your message tone to a mp3 song?

  • To anyone who has or is planning to get this phone let me tell you about the only two things I don't like about it. I have had the phone for about a week, and as far as the charging issue goes, the battery bar just reads incorrectly. It will drain to one bar after about a day, but once it is there it seems to last for awhile. I bought the phone on sunday, charged it, and didn't have to charge it again until thursday. But the biggest disappointment had to be not able to change the message tone. It has 4 preset ones you can change it to, but it cannot be customized to anything you have. If anyone has been able to figure this little part out, please let me know!

  • I never had it before but ot predit its alot of fun and im new at this sothats my opinon bye

  • Yes! You can assign individual ringtones and pix to entries in your phonebook.

  • To SOMEone who HAS this phone::: Q.----Can you set your own mp3 to a certain someone in your adress book so when they call their picture & own sound pops up??? thanks!!! Sorry im buggin abt this phone, i cant wait to get it!!!!

  • I think that this phone is off the hook.I am getting this phone. for my brithday thats coming.

  • thnks!!! im super excited aabout getting it feb 3rd it will be at my door step~!!! ALSO I asked tmobile about the message tone and they said go under settings but everyone says it doesnt work...so thaat sucks cuz i have a special song for messages!!! But hey it could be worse!!!! =) THANKS to all who answered all my Q&A's!!!

  • nice phone i think samsung have out done themselves

  • I've been trying to do the same thing, I have some great tones to change it to and am super frustrated that it can't be changed. Has anyone figured out a way yet?

  • I'ive been trying to find a way around those dull message tones for the last 5 days and i cant seem to get a grasp on it, and that's the ONE thing i want changed on this phone otherwise i love it

  • It does have the frames. It also has the nifty audio postcard feature which is fun.

  • Oh thanks!!! DOES this phone have the cute trademark samsung picture frames??? =] thaaaanks

  • Yes, you can assign a picture stored in your phone as a picture I.D Get the number you want to assign a pic too, go to options then edit, then scroll to "picture ID" press add/ok and then assign a pic as your picture I.D!

  • Ahhh I see! thanks a BUNCH!!! I would have saveds it to my mem. card n then would have been lost!!!! Hey there is one more ?? about this phone... ---Does it have the picture frames that samsung provides--u know the cute ones with the hearts...?? & ---Can you set a picture for caller id? **Not a big deal if it doesnt lol Tmobile is still in back order--none of the stores even have it so I have to wait another week or 2! I want it now!!! =) Thnks for all's help!

  • its horble because i dont even know were to down load music my internet is not working anyway can you help me please please i beg .

  • You can get the contacts to show up but its a little tricky at first. If they are saved on your SIM card then you have to search through the phone to change a setting to display SIM and Phone Contacts then they will all show up when people call. How you do this is:1. Menu 2. Contacts 3. Management 4. View Contacts. Then Select Phone and SIM Card I hope this helps since it took me forever to figure this shit out. Does anyone know how to fix the battery issue?

  • i really want this phone but i dont kno if its really worth the money out of my pocket could someone please tell me from experience if this phone is really worth the price I just need some honest insight PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  • i think i have the answer for the gravitys battery life i talked to the guy at tmobile who has a demo gravity for six mos with the same issue he said you need to turn the phone off and let it charge it charge completly it seems to have worked for me

  • YES! You can save MPS's as ringtones and assign them to numbers. All you need to do is make sure that the tone, sound, mp3 etc is stored in the phones memory and not on a removable memory card Select the number, press options, press edit, scroll down to ringtone and press add. From there you can change the ringtone for any number,

  • Tmobile said that you can change the message sound...??? but they also said u CAN NOT save mp3 files as your ringtone, but people who HAVE the phone have their own music as the ring tones!! Well I ordered this phone b/c my BB Curve is effin up and I dont need the $20.00 plan but I LOVE QWERTY! But it's on backorder so I guess I will wait and see!!!! Any advice on these problems let me know!!!! --can u set your ringer as mp3? --can you set DIFFERENT mp3's to diff. people in address book? thats it!!!

  • Mike is absolutely correct about that!

  • about everyones concern with the caller id, you have to save the area code with the number. if it doesnt have the area code then it will not show the name. thats the same on most samsungs. even if you live in a small area where there is only one area code you have to save it. i work at tmobile and just confirmed this on our store demo.

  • I think the caller I.D problem may be an issue associated with Fave 5 plans. Like the other person who posted, I don't have a Fave 5 plan and my caller I.D with both name & number works fine. Overall, I've enjoyed using the Gravity. Yeah, the battery could be better, but I'll deal with it until a better aftermarket one is available. I bought it for its low price and messaging capabilities and I have'nt been disappointed

  • Does the caller ID really work or are people just saying that? Is it a good phone to have? Please reply. I need to know!

  • the name appars thr only thon i truly hate is ....your text alert has to b o of the pre loaded tones,,which suk...! !!

  • i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove this phone so much so you better get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

  • Glad I don't have a Fave 5 plan....LOL I got a promotional plan when I switched to T-Mobile in 2005 that is not available anymore. 1000 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends for $40.00 a month. I do not have a Fave 5 plan and all of my numbers in my phonebook show up with names in my caller id.

  • Hey so when people call, there are NO NAMES???? just numbers?!?!?!?!!? This sucks really bad if true! OMG whats the point of an address book if no names will show when they call!??! I cant remember everyones number!!!! PLS say its not true.... i just ordered this phone =/

  • In regards to "What does QWERTY provide?" I may have misunderstood but it sounds as if you're not familiar with what QWERTY is. QWERTY is simply the first 6 letters on a standard keyboard or typewriter and in this context indicates the phone has a keyboard with the same layout as your computer's keyboard. But if I've misunderstood the question or you've already Googled that answer.... Never mind! :)

  • Copy or move the entries in your phonebook from the sim card memory to the phones memory and they will show up on the caller i.d by name as well as picture i.d and assigned ringtones. All of mine do and I don't have a Fave 5 plan.

  • I got this phone last week from T-Mobile. T-Mobile doesn't offer much in the way of full qwerty keyboards. Here is what I have discovered about this phone so far: The Good: -You can make your own ringtones from mp3s or midis and put them on the phone. -Great functioning full qwerty keyboard. -Inexpensive for those on a budget. -Decent sound quality for music. -Bluetooth works great. -Samsung quality. Solid. Doesn't feel like it will break if you handle it rough. The Bad: -Battery life sucks. (Everyone here seems to agree as well.) -No caller ID names come up on the phone unless they are in your "five faves". Only the number shows up when the phone rings for everyone else (even if they are in your phonebook). This has been confirmed by T-Mobile. -Samsung claims that up to 4gig SD cards are supported when in reality only up to 2gig SD cards work in the phone. -Call quality could be better if you actually want to talk on your phone instead of just texting. Lots of pros and only a few cons, but the cons are really bad. I think I will probably take this phone back to T-Mobile. The worst thing about it for me is the caller ID disappointment.

  • hey, id like to find out more about QWERTY, what does it provide

  • just got this phone today from costco with all accessories for free, but am not getting any signal in my house???

  • The Gravity does have USB capability. You'll need a usb cord. Plug it into your computer then into the same slot for charging the battery and you can transfer your pix, tunes, vids to and from your computer and phone. It has worked without any problems at all for me.

  • uhmm iit lasts like about 9 or 10 hours iif you drain it completely. liike it depends how muchh you use the phonee i guess

  • The phone cost just around $50 in the mail and just around $100 in the store. It might be extra with the $50 for other fees. Its from T-Mobile. I have this phone and its great except the fact that it doesn't have a USB cord slot so you have to you this my mobile program on T-Mobile in order to put pictures on Myspace, Facebook, etc..

  • well that phone is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cool and i cant, belive i got it i luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv it.

  • For how long have you had the Gravity for?

  • 2.1 inch with slider QWERTY.. for what???? LoL

  • so how long does the battery last on a full charge and how much does this phone cost

  • I love the full key pad. Need it because I'm in my forties and learning to text my teens. But, I also wanted to get rid of my old mp3 player and store music on my phone. It does not have a normal headphone jack!!! I live in a small town, and have to order the adaptor on line, for extra money. Plus, the memory is limited. I should have just gotten the blackberry. By the time I buy the adaptor, the memory card, the adaptor cable for my computer because it doesn't have the usual outlet for usp connection, it costs the same as it would for a less capable phone.

  • cann you set a mp3 song as a ringtone?

  • lol nicole, i dont know how your phone lasts 3 days because mine couldnt last 12 hours.maybe you jsut got lucky (:

  • hi everyone i have this phone. it rocks. there really is no bad thing about it in my opinion. the battery life is okay it lasts about 3 days and fully charges in about 20 min. get this phone you will not regret it

  • i jsut got this phone like yesterday and its an amaziiing phonee. the only problem ii have is the battery life (but so is everyone else) and i cant get my phonebook to work. i try to open up the application (?) and then all that comes up is "mobile is initiating backup" and i dont now what that means. The only numbers i currently have on my phone that show are people with the names up to the letter "m". when my friend Nicole texted me, i tried to add her name to my contacts list but it said it was already there. this might sound confusing but if anyone understands it please help me cause i dont know what to do !

  • I recently purchased the Samsung Gravity and almost returned it due to the poor battery life. I previously had a BlackBerry that stopped working. I did not want to replace it with another BlackBerry and decided to give this phone a try because I liked the QWERTY keyboard. I found a few forums that suggested allowing the batter to fully drain before recharging. I repeated this process for two days and now my battery holds a full charge. I charged it this morning and it is almost 5 pm eastern and I still have a full charge. I hope that this means the problem has been solved.

  • omg!! neither have I. and this phone is amazing! the battery life does suck, but like tha other dude said, it lasts on one or two bars and goes on for an eternity! txting on this phone is great! everything about this phone is almost perfect. i just hate now like with my beat, i can exit out of media player and the songs still play. but on this phone, it just turns. off. and it makes me sickkk!!! and also, with my old beat they had 2 ear earphoness! that was the most amazing part about itt!! =]]] but oh well. i paid almost two hundred dollars for this phone. and i absolutely love it! =]] totally worth it! 4.5 stars.

  • i really thought that somthing was wrong with my battery, but i found other ppl in my skool wit da phone and they said they had da same problem. i called da t-mobile company before about dis problem and they wanted me to send it back, but when i call them this week(one week later from my initial call), they said they are aware of da problem and dat they have an upgrade on da battery,and as i write dis my new upgraded battery is being sent to me. hopefully it'll be a really good upgrade,so i wont have to hate t-mobile for da rest of my life. call t-mobile people to get ur new battery

  • Despite the substandard battery, I really, really enjoy using this phone. I've had several cell phones in the past years and this is one of my favorites. It suits my needs very well and has the features I want and need and none that I don't. I like the straight-forward design of the phone and the easy learning curve. I even like the funky grey/lime color scheme of my particular Gravity. And no! I'm not a 15 year old who likes it just because i'm a texting fanatic....LOL I'm a 41 year old guy who likes it because it works!

  • just convert the files to the ipod format that is the one that works trust me it's working for me

  • I think it depends on frame size, video format, etc....of the video I've downloaded several videos. Some will play fine and some will not.

  • Whats up with the video player... i cant find a single video that will work other than the ones i shoot

  • A couple of tips on using the USB Connection to upload or download files to and from the Gravity...... If transferring to or from a micro memory card, make sure you have the USB option on the phone set to "Mass Storage" that way you can transfer to the card by just dragging and dropping the mp3's, pics, ringtones, wallpappers. If you want to transfer to and from the phone's internal memory you can download the Samsung PC Studio from the Samsung Website. If you use the PC Studio, you have to switch the USB Setting to "Modem"

  • I agree with the other person who said he/she thought the problem was with the battery power meter not reading the battery life properly and not the battery itself. I run this thing down to one bar and i'm still talking with the bluetooth on and listening to music for a long while before it stops completely. The battery is a non issue for me.

  • ii have iit and well the battery always seems to run low why iis that?

  • battery life is very poor.

  • The USB/Charging port are one in the same. A usb cord compatable for the phone and your computer will work. You can get the cables pretty cheap from a load of different cell phone accessory websites.

  • I think the battery issue may be more of a problem with the battery power meter than the actual battery itself. Its been my experience that the meter will move down to one or two bars really quickly, but the last one or two bars seem to last quite awhile. Thats been my experience anyway.

  • how u hook the usb when it doesnt have one email me back [email protected]

  • i have the phone and the battery works great for me and im always on my phone and its never died or come close to before

  • Heres my take on the Gravity.....I've had it and used it for about a month now. When I needed a new phone, I just wanted a basic phone that I could talk, text and listen to music with. I did'nt need a phone to surf the web or give me direction anywhere. Hell! I'm a man....who needs directions anyway! I just wanted a basic phone that was'nt going to cost me an arm and a leg to purchase and then nickel and dime me for everything afterwards in an attempt to use it to its full capability. I think i made a pretty good choice. I've enjoyed using the Gravity. Its a good basic communication device. My calls sound nice and clear and texting is a breeze with this phone. I like how easy it was to hook up the USB to my computer and download tunes and pics and ringtones. I have over 350 songs and counting on my 2gb Memory Card. The sound quality is fantastic, especially for a phone of this price. I'm thankful for the bluetooth feature on this phone. It actually works and works great! It has paired with everthing i've tried to pair it with. This phone is easily customizable with Rintones, Wallpapers, Caller ID pics and ringtones. I like the fact i can use an mp3 as a ringtone and I don't have to pay anyone for it. I'm not stuck purchasing stuff from ONLY T-Mobile like other phones and carriers make you do. The only two negatives with this phone are its lack of voice dialing/recognition. It would have been nice to have and of course the much mentioned weak battery. Its a pain, but I bought an extra travel charger for peanuts and keep it at work to give it an extra charge if i need to. Hopefully Samsung or T-Mobile will offer customers a more powerful, extended battery. All in all, I enjoy the phone. The price was right and appropriate for its feature set. For a basic, low cost phone with good performance, it's hard to beat the Gravity

  • OH! one more thing, the speaker phone is A-MAAAA-ZIIIING!

  • I just got the phone yesterday (white & aqua) and i LOVE it. the battery life could be a tad better but its not horrible to the point of returning it. The phone is pretty darn sleek and the slide out keyboard is def a great catch. The keys are not too small and its pretty easy to get the hang of texting. OH! and the camera quality is not to shabby either.

  • im getting this phone in like 4 DAYS!!! yahhhhhh! i cant wait!! im so excited! i have never had a phone w/ a slide out keyboard!!

  • i own the fone...its good..its loud texts are much easier now. but wat i hate is that the battery of the fone sucks... either its just my battery, or its all batteries, but the batterie lasts like a couple hours and then the fone dies. i had the recharge it 2 times, 2day. but overall its good,

  • i don t have the phone yet but it look like a good phone to buy especialy the lide out texting i reallylove texting and i hope i can get it serioulsy.

  • i don t have the phone yet but it look like a good phone to buy especialy the lide out texting i reallylove texting and i hope i can get it serioulsy.

  • thus phone is great i love it the speaker phone is great

  • I have had better luck with the battery than it seems others have. Maybe I'm not as active with the phone as others, I don't know. But having said that, I will say that the battery does drain more quickly than it should. I picked up a car charger online for next to nothing in case I need some extra juice at times, until i can find an aftermarket extended battery, like I've done with previous phones. I can see where its a major problem for some, but its has'nt been for me.

  • What is your opinion about the battery and it's longevity? I see everyone mostly here is not too happy about that part of the phone. How would you deal with that one con?

  • The Gravity does indeed have a speakerphone. I've found it works pretty well. What works even better is its bluetooth connectivity. It pairs with different gadgets like a dream and stays connected. I love using it for music listening. I pair it with a Motorola S-9 stereo headset and rock out....LOL It does'nt have voice dialing which is a bummer though

  • I don't really have a comment yet. I'm considering buying this phone. I need to know from someone if this phone has a speaker phone to it? I don't see it listed but a friend of mine who just purchased one of these says it does have a speaker phone. Can someone confirm that for me please?

  • FREE, to add another line: ten dollars

  • can u please tell what software you used to be able to use the cord to the computer i got a cord and it wont let me drag pics or music to the phone ,i love this phone ,thanks

  • i actually like this phone except i like the lime green one better. and btw samsung and LG are both korean companies, thats why most of them seem the same DUH!!

  • I just discovered why they call this phone the Gravity. It fell out of my hand and hit floor and is now in a million pieces.

  • if u have a memory adapter u dont need the cord at all

  • I like the fone but iv been reasearching and many people said the main 2 things that are not so great about the fone is the poor call quality and the battery . I dont no much about the fone but Im getting it 4 christmas!

  • how do i format it?

  • So i just bought this phone today and hate the fact that i have to use the dull boring message tones they have pre-set on the phone! I really wanted to be able to assign a ringtone for the text messages... big let down. Unless someone knows something i don't know...or some way around it...

  • hey. i want this phone for my birthday. i love the colors and the keyboard. but. i want to know if it has bluetooth. so yea i love to textand kant wait to get the best phone eva ya'll hear me!!! dey all say t-mobile sucks but wen i get diz phone eva 1 gonna be like i making the switch 2 t-mobile!!! yea baby its going down.... how offten do u guys have 2 rechagre the battery.....every nite? or wat? e-mail it 2 me plz it u have this phone. [email protected] so u can answer my questions!!! :) luvs yah!!!

  • ok 4 all yall people that have complaints about the phone i have only 1 this phone is great. the 2 keypads is great yall dont no wat yall talkin bout i dropped the phone n nothin happened no stratches this is great the speaker sounds like a radio the 1 bad thing is the battery

  • The color is so casual... by the way how much is this phone

  • i love the phone but the battery dies waaaaay to fast and thats a huge factor ima return it =(

  • So is this phone very similiar to the samsung slyde m540? They look pretty much identical lol ! and I have looked for reviews on that phone everywhere and cant find any so im assuming its newer?

  • the samsung gravity is pretty cool, it has all the things i need like alarm and qwerty keyboard the only problem i have with it is that the battery doesnt last that long

  • Because even without either 3G or the other, the keyboard still makes it easier to compose and send simple messages if you are in an extended exchange with somebody. For a quick msg, I like the fact that I can still text without the keyboard. For longer exchanges, the keyboard is nifty. With or without 3G

  • in my opinion no 3G no Wlan , and so... what's the use of the keypad

  • I just got this phone and I love it. The full keyboard is great and it is very easy to use. My only complaints are 1) it isnt very customizable. The left and right selection keys and up/down/left/right pad cant be customized for specific actions 2) it can be connected with your computer (to add pictures/music), but you have to buy an extra cord to do so

  • The specifications are what they are for a phone in this price range. You are not going to get a phone that makes your lunch and steers your car for the price of this phone. Its designed for people who don't need all the latest and greatest gadgetry in their cell phone. And just to mentioned one positive feature other than the keyboard....The bluetooth. It actually works and works well! Something I can't say for some of the more expensive phones that i've owned.

  • i thought this phone was pretty cute at first.. but the battery drains away really fast. and to be honest.. i dont really like the feel of the keyboard.. i have been mainly using the keypad to text. i think i'll have to return this one.. ordered the samsung soul =D

  • Why the T459? the only attractive thing is its keyboard??.. the specifications are not that attractive with respect to its date of announcement! maybe it has some advantages or positive features that I didn't notice:S!

  • I agree!!! Battery drains very quickly I thought it was just mine.

  • good phone but drane battery fast.

  • does the phone have an alarm clock atleast?

  • I llllooovvee this phone and I want it for christmas

  • i like and i love this phone muah!

  • Like the phone. Could not get the 4 gig sd card to work as advertised - 2 gig worked fine. No wired stereo headset available yet. This phone is perfect for simple texting and a basic mp3 player phone.

  • Ok someone said they dont get having the 2 keyboards Its very nice when u can only use one hand to dial, text, answer/hang up your phone etc and if your sending a lengthy text the full qwerty is awesome for that so its a huge deal to have the outer keypad This phone for the price $49.99, come on guys, is a steal I first got the samsung behold but the internet sucked so bad I had the service cut off the web wasnt worth paying for , so basically it was a high end texting phone with a touch screen big deal. Touch screen phones are a pain to text with and the big bright display on all touch screens( iphone,g1, behold etc) is nice but drains the battery really fast The size isnt that bad on this phone and it not too heavy at all is a very simple phone but is loud, good phone call volume and has a great qwerty keyboard for a cheap price.. if you want a mini laptop this phone isnt for you spend the xtra hundreds and get one.. hope this helps

  • I love this phone, it will suit me very well, as I'm a heavy txter myself aswell. But the thing is, I do thing that having QWERTY keypad without WiFi is an odd combination, (it's pretty easy to find HOT SPOTS where I live, and QWERTY keypad definately helps when surfing the net).

  • who cares if it looks like the rant there made by the same company so it was there choice to make another phone like the rant!!!U guys are the best i like ur comments..lol we should hang out. well not really lol

  • I bought this phone yesterday and think it's a neat little phone. I'm a heavy texter and i did'nt want to dump a ton of money on features I don't need and won't use. The reception quality seems to be good. Calls are crisp and clear. It paired with my Bluetooth Devices with no hitches at all. The slideout keyboard is slick. The keys feel good and are easy to use. It does'nt have voice dialing which is a small bummer and although the music sound is good and even great paired with my Motorola S9 Stereo Blutooth Headset, I don't like the format of the Music Player Its not huge, but it is a bit on the heavy side, compared to some of the other hansets out there. The build quality seems pretty solid. All in all, I'm happy for choosing this phone. It has the features I want and none that I personally don't need.

  • I picked this phone up cause I wanted a simple phone to make calls and send text's. It serves my needs perfectly. I don't need a $400 phone to surf the web and watch youtube vids when I have a computer at home to do that with. And the camera? Who cares if its 1.3 or 2.4 or 3.5 or whatever. When I go to Hawaii on vacation next spring, I'll be using a "real" camera to take my pics, not a phone camera regardless of its price. The bottom line is that if you need a smartphone, buy a smartphone. Its kind of pointless to a criticize a phone because it does'nt have smartphone features whenever everybody knows its not a smartphone to begin with.....LOL For the price, the Gravity is a good basic little phone that does what it claims to do.

  • I just purchased this phone yesterday, and I love it. I agree with you it's a simple phone for those who want a keyboard for texting. I don't need all that crap on my phone. I have a computer at home. The internet you pay for your phone is what you pay for your home internet. In this economy who has money to do that and who actually has a job like that, where they need to have access to internet all day.

  • can you use your own picture, like from the phone camera, as your background?

  • can you use your own picture, like from the phone camera, as your background?

  • What is the price of this phone?

  • Sprint already has the rant and this is just a cheaper version of it for T-mobile

  • i dont rlly care for 3g, but wifi would have been REALLY nice....

  • You guys are talking about LG "RUMOR' which is CDMA not GSM. Have you seen Samsung "RANT" or "Messenger"?? They are CDMA as well for Sprint and MetroPCS. This is just a GMS version of RANT for T-Mobile, US. RANT looks better and comes with 2 mp cam though.

  • True, Looks almost like the LG Rumor except Samsung style.

  • piece o crap camera. come on same as lg rumour except lg rumour has a better camera

  • I love the style of this phone. It's meant for people like me who want a cool looking phone like this, and a simple one too. Not everyone has to have a phone that has all the functions like email and youtube and internet and all that high tech stuff. This is a simply awesome phone for those who just wants a cute simple phone!

  • Man theres like a million of phones that look just like this one. I mean they seem pretty popular, but its just lke the LG ones. This is supposed to be a T-mobile phone so its a nice and hopefully cheaper option to the overpriced and underpowered Sidekick's (my personal opinion) This is a decent phone but not something i'd by.

  • Good phone ! There are a lot of peoples that are not realy need a smartphone. Just a phone call, an e-mail or sms it is enough. And a camera, of couse.My father, my mother that are old don't need a smart phone to read their e-mail when they are traveling. Batery life is important, of course...

  • Samsung is gonna feel gravity if it doesnt pick up the pace. No wifi. No 3G. No thanks. Although if it's cheap enough, it will probably attract those that crave a qwerty keyboard but are on a tight budget.

  • No 3G, only 1.3Mp camera?!?!?, and its heavy 121g. thumbs down!

  • testing

  • i don't get the point of havin a pull key pady on the front and then another one that slides out

  • this phone seems reall really stupid.....

  • i dont know bout you guys but i think this is a great mid-range qwerty phone for its specs. because those people who want a full qwerty keyboard with the price, i think this will do. i kinda like it. but im not really loving it though.

  • Can't wait to purchase this phone

  • such pathetic display with full qwerty? o gush....

  • OMFG! It looks like a "fun" oriented phone but then the qwerty keyboard makes it look like its a work phone!!!

  • Koreans think alike. This seems to be GSM version of sprint's LG Rumor. Just that Lg's qwerty slides out on the right.

  • good job samsung!

  • Am I the only person on this website who thinks this phone is AWESOME? I look forward for it comming out and it is number one on my phone wishlist!

  • Looks boring, unattractive and outright useless. What were you thinking samsung? WTF

  • this thing is like exactly the same as the LG Rumor from Bell in canada....

  • Look very similar to LG Rumor. Qwerty non-smartphone for heavy texters are all the rage now. Good job Samsung!

  • horrible phone for God sake what is tha typing thing with 2.1 inch display ....

  • lol. Samsung is this for kids?

  • i don�t like so much samsung, but this is a good mobile, low end intensive sms writter, for this people is targeted!!!
