I am a huge fan of samsung phones. I just got the gravity last night and I absolutely love it!! The white/aqua color is just gorgeous. It was so easy to get used to using. And the slider keyboard is nice to have since I text so often! The screen is kinda small, but the phone itself is pretty compact. I really have no complaints!

ok...
i got the aqua/white version like 2 days ago and i'm feelin it! i was kinda iffy at first because i usually like bigger phones with bigger screens and things like that, but the phoneis not bad. the screen isnt TOO small, nor is the phone. its actually a really good size. i love almost everything about the phone! especially the keyboard and the appearence. its a VERY sturdy phone, which i also like.
what i dnt like is that i cant set music tones to be for my text messages, or how i cant turn off the shudder sound for the camera. but those are little things.
Also, ive seen other reviews on the battery of this phone.
The battery is not too bad, but i will say that it wont last u a full day without having to be charged. But its nothing u cant work with though.
Overall, this phone is hot!! and cute!! (aqua) lol

I like the phone, its great for texting, its my first time using a keyboard
It is easy to use
What i dont like is that i can not set a tone for my message
the camera isnt to clear
and the battery life is not too good... but it does last a while on the last bar lol
overall its a good phone just those few things i do not like.. i like my phone to be charged and the battery is just not doing it for me but other than that im happy with it

We just got 2 new gravity from T-Mobile and it won't hold the charge...here is why I don't think it's the battery: we have a samsung t429 phone and I happen to use the charger from that phone on my gravity t459 and what do you know it charged the phone and is holding the charge for days. I notify Samsung and told them about this discovery!!!

Since I do have a 14 day warranty with T-mobile they are replacing the phone but until Samsung recitify this charger problem I think everyone with a gravity will continue to have a poor charge.

I am actually about to get this phone. I heard that the battery life sucks though and that many people have returned theirs or they just recharge it every couple of hours which I cant do at school. So can someone please tell me is the battery life really that bad? Because I text lyke 24/7

the battery life is not that bad, as long as the phone is on all the time. turning the power on and off takes a lot of juice, but with the backlight on a short setting the battery lasts me about 2 days without turning off the power. sidekicks are much worse, and in my opinion this phone beats them by a longshot! i love mine. :)

I got the Gravity yesterday, and it is a GREAT phone. I recommend it to all T-Mobile users!

This phone sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a great design and it is easy to use but the battery life sucks! I charge it all night and within an hour it turns off because the battery is dead. I will be in the middle of texting my friends and it will randomly just turn off. I have to charge it 10 times a day and even that is NOT enough. I love this phone but the battery quality is a pain. I love the idea of a full key board but this phone is a dissappointment. :o(

I also know a way to " train " the battery to run longer. You let the battery completly die, like the phone shutting off on its own, then you charge it for like 5 hours [ off ] without touching it, repeat this many times as needed, and the battery life will get alot better.

I just go the phone, it's a bit on the heavy side and u need small fingers for to text or long thumb nails, i use my thumb nails. I ran into a problem when trying to text, it is asking for some center number, I have no clue what this number is and it seems tech support have no idea either. Not a bad phone but it is new to my service provider they need to be more knowledge in the tech support before they released this phone. Not bad, if you are looking just to text this is the phone.

did you find out how to fix the problem of the " enter center" message when trying to text? i am having the same problem.

To solve this problem (enter center), you'll have to call your service provider and get the phone number to the text message center. With new phones, they might not be able to update it remotely. I had to take the SIM card out and place it in an older phone to manually enter the Text Message Center number.

Ok, so i am looking for a new phone, cause mine is the sucky samsung sph-m300. and it's kind of dieing on me. How much does this phone exactly cost in canada?? it looks really nice and i'm use to a sucky battery seeing as that is what mine does already haha. It sounds like a really great phone!!!!

to be quite honest with you i think this phone is amazing there's only one bad thing i most honestly say, the phone only lasted for me like three hours while it was charged. my favorite part about this phone is the TEXTING!!!!!

I think the foan is cool but the battery life is too short it shut off so qiuck when I talk on aim and stuff

The battery will drain fast, But I like the phone

I got this phone 3 months ago. I used to love this phone, but for the past week the batterey will be completely charged and the phone still randomly shuts off for no reason. My friend has the same problem and he got his the same time i got mine. I wouldn't suggest this phone.

i have the gravity for like a month now and the only problem i have with it is it randomly turns of by itsself and its not the battery becous i have full bars when it happens but other then that it a nice phone

ok had this phone for 5 months and 3 days ago it started shutting off when you slide it shut. I am guessing this is an engineering issue. There is a ribbon cable inside the slide that clearly has a loose connection. I am ok with getting a replacement phone every year or so but I would NOT reccommend this phone unless you get a no-frills warranty.

;((

this fone roxs !! i just got it a couple hours ago but the batterie lifi sucks and wen i send a message it makes a noice to say that it sent but idk how to turn that off so i wont get in trouble at skool.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guessing by some of the posts from the people on this board, you should really be turning your phones(not foan,fone,orany other messed up spelling of a rather simple word) off while in class. Yes, the batteries suck.

Well, I have had this phone for eight months. What I don't like about it is, for some reason when I receive messages- It says I've got them 4 hours ago, or 5.

ok the battery life is actually not that bad!!! i got it and it rocks! the design is great and it is really easy to text. kool features too. 4/5!

does anyone know how to turn the sound off when taking a picture? i've gone through the camera settings and it shows the option of shutter sound but won't let me go to it.

I am helping a friend find a phone that suits her. Would you recommend this phone? Or should she not waste her time or money?

i want to get this phone but does the
battery life really suck? is it a good phone?

i have had my phone replaced 2 other times and keeps shutting off on its own usually its just after sliding open and close the phone. Very frustrating.

I purchased this phone from Best Buy as my back-up, pay as you go phone in June, this year. I have not experienced any battery or charger/charging issues. My handset charges just fine and the battery lasts for 2-3 days, depending on my usage. If I take lots of pictures or listen to music for lengthy sessions it drains rapidly, as expected in comparison to other cell phones.

Pictures are not as bad as some say with this 1.3mp camera. You need to set the resolution to the best quality, adjust the EF (brightness) as needed and use good lighting. Granted, the camera is not the best there is but for this type pf phone, seems about par and better than others in this entry level. I have taken very satisfactory shots when I take the time to make them right.

My big gripe with this phone is the speaker sound... IMO, this is a fantastic 'texting' phone but it falls a little short in call sound quality directly from the handset. I find the I must use the wired headset or a bluetooth to hear and be heard. The call volume sounds too low even at the highest setting and the phone picks up a lot of background noises when on speakerphone, especially when driving. If you are sitting in a quiet spot, the speakerphone and call sound are normal, but only then.

I purchased this phone from Best Buy as my back-up, pay as you go phone in June, this year. I now use this handset as my daily phone. I have not experienced any battery or charger/charging issues. My handset charges just fine and the battery will last for 2-3 days depending on my personal usage. I always use my phone alarm (daily). I keep the screen set to the longest and brightest and I text and picture message daily - as much as 30 per day, but only make 4-6 daily phone calls, sometimes more. I always talk to my husband for an hour, M-Th (business travel) and all my usage is included in my 2-3 days per charge. However, if I take lots of pictures or listen to music for lengthy sessions it drains more rapidly. Also, I like to play one game in particular every now and then which will drain my battery quicker. Incidentally, the screen is pretty decent and easy to see my game pieces (puzzle game).

Camera pictures are not as bad as some say with this 1.3mp camera. Probably best to set the resolution to its best quality, adjust the EF (brightness) as needed and use good lighting. I refer to use the menu settings often for the best possible photo. Granted, the camera is not the best there is but for this type of phone it seems about par and better than others in this entry level. I have taken very satisfactory shots when I take the time to make them right. Keep in mind this type of camera does not have a good sensor, so you cannot compare this to a quality digital camera. Some shots will amaze you while others will be disappointing. It goes with the territory.

Overall, I like this phone. The slider is decent and feels good. Full qwerty is easy to use and for me, very nice. Camera, MP3, video and other features of this phone are pleasing. I wish this model sported some form of a camera flash or flashlight, FM or WiFi, but it does not. I have partial web browsing plan and email and for me, this works well on this phone w/o issues.

My handset was purchased as a pay as you go phone and I was able to insert my SIM card and use it as my plan phone, too. If you are looking for an inexpensive, full Qwerty slider, this just might make you happy. I like having the camera and video options for times when needed. Try it out in the T-Mobile store demo to see of you’ll like it...
