1. Not worth the money.

17 Nov 2009 by Mitch

66.7%6.7out of 10

I've been with T-Mobile for a long time, and after a year of uncomfortable texting on a Motorola phone that was similar to a Razr, I wanted a full QWERTY keyboard. Well, I obviously did NOT want a BlackBerry -- it's too businessesque (if thats a word) for my taste and was really intended for email and stuff. So back in June I decided to pay $187 (I had a partial discount, but it wasnt time for me to upgrade) for this phone. So NOT worth the money. It's only worth the $40 you pay when you get it new with a plan. My biggest complain is the QWERTY keyboard: its cramped, the buttons are difficult to press, and the two side keys are absolutely useless: the only time I use them is to open the menu, and after that I use the "OK" and backspace buttons, which work just the same. The battery life is absolutely terrible. I have to charge it every night, and sometimes it's almost dead before i get home. I do lotsss of texting, so I assume that only depletes the battery life more and more.

I was also upset that there were not many included wallpapers; and then pictures from the camera set as backgrounds were cut off on both sides when you slid open the keyboard, so it just was ugly. Also, when viewing pictures, there is no full screen mode. What is that about?! Also there are only two themes -- bland white or depressing black.

I have already saved up my money to cancel my T-Mobile contract altogether; I need a better phone, and will be switching to an LG enV 3 from Verizon (which has the big internal display and a larger and more comfortable QWERTY keyboard). I really only would recommend this to people who need the QWERTY keyboard now and then.

Pros

QWERTY keyboard - its always just good to have
No mechanical issues - it NEVER had issues like shutting off or buttons not working
Good enough call quality

Cons

Cramped QWERTY keyboard
Awful battery life
No real customization

First of all if you are planning to buy this phone...... DONT!!! dont go by the cuteness of this money sucker... even though its cheap u r stil gonna end up paying a bunch load of money replacing it or trying to get it fixed... this phone sucks big time... is shuts down on me all the time.. i will be typing my text n it will turn off even if its fully charged.. i never get calls and the ppl who would call me would get mad at me thinking i m not picking up the phone.. very poor service.. i understand about sometimes when u r inside a building or something u dont get service but even if u r standing outside in open u still dont get service..it freezes up on me all the time.. also sometimes if my parents are calling me it would say someone else calling ... after reading the reviews my phone is not the only one having these kinda problems ...majority of the phones r having the same problems.

4. Junky Phone, only problems!!!

This is my 2nd Gravity! My first one was replaced by tmobile just 13 days after it was delivered because an internal spring popped out of the slider. It took almost an hour to get them to replace my phone within the 14 day policy because they claimed I broke the phone. Seems no one had complained about this before.
Then, today my second phone shut off and won't come back on! Not sure what the issue is. Pulled the battery, can't restart it, can't get it to come back on. Sigh. Not impressed with this phone!!!!

Pros

Cons

If it worked, would be a great phone, but horrible reception, bad slider mechanics and just a pain.
Internal spring comes apart on slider.
Phone shut off on own.

6. Not that bad.

I have had this phone for a good 6 months now. It is a pretty great phone and like with all phones there are some problems. First off I do not recomend anyone getting a white phone, they are horrible. I have never had a phone scratch so easy & it always has dinks in the screen. It is a little bulky but I had the Sidekick 3 before this so by far a lot smaller. The QWERTY keypad is actually spaced out very well and the left and right keys on the side are much easier to use then how the Sansung Rant's are on the non-sliding part of the phone. The sound quality is great and so far my camera hasn't taken to bad of pictures. I love this phone but it definatly has a short battery life. My usually last most of the day, but a lot of times it barely lasts two hours. Over all it is not a bad phone if you are just looking for texting.

Pros

QWERTY keypad
Good Camera
Great Sound Quality
Fantastic for texting

Cons

Short Battery Life
Scratches Easy
A little bulky

7. Samsung Gravity

18 Sep 2009 by Cheryl

56.7%5.7out of 10

So far not impressed with the phone or the customer service at Samsung......

Bought this phone less than 3 months ago and it is in for repair for the second time for the same problem. Open the slider and the phone powers off and it often does the same thing randomly, Samsung tried to tell me this is not a common problem but after reading some reviews on this website I see that it is more of a problem than they let on. Neither Samsung, nor Rogers (our service provider) will allow us to exchange the phone at this point. They tell us it must have 3 repair orders before they can even consider replacing the phone and I am not even sure if that means another Gravity or a better product. Stay tuned.........

Pros

easy to use keyboard
camera takes reasonable photos
OK battery life

Cons

the phone has spent more time out being serviced than in my possession
