Samsung T479 Gravity 3 - User Reviews

  • Plz HELP iv had this phone from the past before smartphone were very smart and all touch screen and the QWERTY keyboard sliding phones were the best cell phones recently found mine and would like to use it again but I turn in on after charging and itÂ’s locked and asking for a password anyone know how I can reset this setting or remove???

  • Really good phone for text and call. I have it for 6 years and had no problems with it. You need to charge the battery only once a week. A lot better than these smatrphone where you have to carry the charger everywhere.

  • I brought the phone a last week, it's great but I have some comments\question: 1. how about the headsets, does Samsung provide normal ones for music, not Bluetooth i mean 2. I tried installing some games and the phone says that .jar and .cab file r not supported 3. Is there a way to really lock files on the phone, because the lock isn't really effective as anyone can unlock it

  • I have had this phone for a number of years along with many others. Sure it's no smartphone, it has no touch screen, and it won't turn many heads if you're trying to impress people with a cell phone. What this phone does do well is make phone calls and basic PIM functions as many previous feature phones have done. This is a great value for several reasons not really shown. It has a built-in dedicated Facebook client, Google Maps with GPS support, and a decent music player that supports iTunes non DRM music. The still camera is quite impressive for a phone of this caliber, it won't replace your point & shoot but for sharing pictures with friends or on Facebook, the colors are well saturated and image quality is really nice for a fixed focus 2MP shooter. The cons of this model, no headphone jack! Especially on a phone that has a built-in music player. The other major failure is the downright awful video quality when using this phone to capture video. Really if you are thinking about it, just don't. Much older feature phones I've had from Samsung had much better. The great part of this phone is battery life. Since the CPU runs under 200Mhz, there's little to drain the battery unless you are using GPS navigation. Telenav is on board and using the 3G radio and GPS while keeping the display lit will require a car charger/cradle. Other than that, basic calls and texting with the well spaced keyboard have kept this phone away from the charger for a day or two. For the price, it's a decent phone for those who prefer a simple phone and a slide out keyboard for texting with ease.

  • Use the blue Symbol word lettering key that has a white lettering shift key below it. You can only do one letter at a time. Home that answers your question.

  • gravity is a very good phone

  • Wake up sunshine, its good phone,!!! perfection does not exist!! thats a4 for sure,

  • How do I get a capital letter when texting? The ALT key doesn't do it and I can't seem to find it.

  • i m using this phone for 2 month its a gr8 phone but i have a problem.... after reducing of charge the head phone didnt work... so plz can any one tell me that why its happening and what is the solution of it.... plz help ..... thank u

  • I've had this phone for over a year and it works great. Dropped it on several occasions and it's still fully functional. I love texting on it, it's so easy and efficient. They keys are spaced apart well. I dont use the camera much but when i do, its decent. Good for just 2 MG. Some cons that I found are; there isn't threaded text messaging, which I really wish this phone had. And in the sun the screen is sometimes hard to see. Also, it's hard to see the time because it's really small in the corner, which irks me. There are no options to change it. But overall it's not a bad phone. The battery life is pretty good.

  • I have this exact phone and it does not have a touch screen at all. Only the T9 keys or the slide out keyboard to operate the phone. There are similar models that have the same OS with look and feel that do.

  • This has a touchscreen (was looking foe one that specifically didn't have one for y Dad)

  • Btw, I bought it at $79 incl. tax. on Virgin Mobile.

  • It's a decent phone. It's easy to use and the camera isn't exactly great but still good for a 2MP. I don't know about the games...There weren't any included.

  • How much was it when you people bought it? and is the camera good? and how are the games?

  • this is not perfect handset...(disply)

  • nice phone to use, still enjoying mine. would recommend it for every one. great job Samsung, keep it up, Mubarak said so........

  • i barely drop my phone and one day my phone almost fell but i was able to stop it from falling but it hit the side of the table but not that hard and my screen just went white and stayed that way

  • great phone

  • Great phone got it on Monday and i love it

  • This phone rocks! the 3G is pure and the google maps app runs like a charm. call quality is terrific and the web is o.k. stop talking trash about the phone if you do not own one o.k!

  • Totally waste

  • Samsung in general all their apparatus including TVs mobiles are not of good quality and when they break which is often ( even more than chinese products) they cannot really fix them. Their parts are cheap and is only their glossy shiny tricky outside that looks good. European products for me anytime.

  • no its not an accelerometer, its when you open the keyboard (same hardware switch) but the screen UI does rotate.

  • With my Samsung (not the same model), you just need long press on * key when typing a message, it changes the text input mode. Maybe it's worth the try?

  • HELP!!!! SO need to change the default text message language to ABC from T9 predictive text. :| Thanks for any/all help! [email protected]

  • where the hell u saw it. the same web shows no Wifi in the specification

  • Take a nokia e75, looks much better and is a real smartphone...this is crap!!

  • WiFi Enabled on this phone

  • Ugly phone, y sumsung doesnt have good design

  • Why?

  • Does it have accelerometer for UI auto rotate? As it has a querty keyboard,it needs accelerometer to rotate the screen. Asked because "accelerometer for UI auto rotate" isn't written in the DISPLAY category.

  • i really dont know what the big difference with this gravity and the other 2 samsung gravitys the only thing thats probally different is how the apperance is on this one they need to upgrade big time

  • cannot wait hope it will be worth the my while

  • second
