Samsung Gravity User Reviews

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.

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.........

I wanted this phone sooo bad. i thought it looked really cool..WELL I WAS WRONG this phone was one of the most suckiest phones ive ever owned. it takes bad pics bad videos poor resolution the keypad is uncomfortable to type on.and most of all its a texting phone yet you cant set your own tone when u recieve a text lameee

this phone is cool. i like the qwerty keyboard on it i doesnt take that clear on pic but u can custommize them. the biggest con about this phone is the battery life i take my charger everwhere i go now cause my battery runs out quick. but i do reccomend this phone it is cool thought.

Good Fone.  Really Good Keyboard.  Could be better

I just got this phone and it is awesome!! The keyboard is fantastic!! It light weight and cool loooking!! i txt all the time and this phone is for me!!  the battery life aonlt last for about 6 hours. But who creas i totally recomend this phone!!

Just got this phone.  It is cool, however there are some cons, like the send buttons on the edges if the qwerty keyboard, and how small the actual qwerty keyboard is.  I also dont like how the buttons are almost completely flush with the rest.  Other than the few things that i dont like, its a really cool phone.  has a loud speaker, that isnt completely crappy, can take, send, and receive multimedia messaging.  if you dont drop your phone all the time and actually take care of it, it all seems to be fine.  

Okay, I'm usually the one who gets the simpliest flip phone because I like strait forward and easy.  This time, the hubby decided I should get the "nicer" phone, so I opted for the Gravity because I text....a lot, although I've never used a qwerty board on a phone, this one gives me the option of texting either way. A plus for me. Some things I started noticing right away, like the life of the battery - its pretty short. Also I recently went to a "Mother's Day Tea" event and forgot my camera, but I had my phone! I started taking lots of pics and video, then when I got home, I started sending my newly collected memories to my email address to save on my pc. Well needless to say I was sorely disappointed with the quality of the video and pics. I've had this phone for about a week and yes it looks cool, yes the texting fuctionality rocks, but crappy pic and videos are gonna make me return this for a better phone. 

i've only had mine for about a week and i already notice all the cruddy parts of it. i've had it replaced once and today i'm going to just get a differant phone the battery only lasts for about 5 hours if your lucky, and the phone frezes alot, it drops my calls , because when i press the answer botton the screan still stays as if it's calling someone and hangs up after about 20 seconds max of talking to that person, the same goes for when your calling them, it dosn't read my memory card, and i cant get half of my texts. isnt that why i bought the phone in the first place, to text? i cant wait till my mom gets home so i can get a phone that dosnt suck!
 
p.s. excuse any typo's because im typing this whit a cut up hand thats to my gym locker

Ok,I have had this phone for about 4 months and well in the first couple days i noticed that i was always recharging my phone! so i called tmobile and well after about a 1 hour talk fitght to make tmobile send us a new battery it actully did last longer then 3 days! but then my phone turned it self off and then i could turn it on for half day and then went to tmobile kiosk and then they gave me there gravity battery but then that was even worse! so again we called tmobile and then i got a whole new phone and new battery and it has been the best replacment i have gotten in a while! All in all after you 2 or 3 new batterys from tmobile it does get better! WARNING tmobile will not send you a new battery, you have to fight for it almost! It took more then a hour before tmobile would belive me that i need a new phone becuase my phone wouldnt turn on anymore! Still no other complaints about the phone! Oh actully one more! sometimes when you use the keyboard to text it will add and extra charcter! Ex: type "like, it might turn out to likee" and then you always need to backspace! unless your a girl who always likes to add extra letters but not guys so much!
Great phone other wise!

SO I got this phone from tmobile after having crazy issues with a slide I love the qwerty but the battery sucked just a little over a month of having the phone it started shutting down when it was slid shut. Called tmobile they think I'm nutts because I just had these same type of issues with my slide... the day after the replacement arrived my roommates gravity started doing the same exact thing... then the first time I used the one they sent to replace it, it shut down when it was slid shut.... I've read that the spring pops out after about 4 months of usage, I'm so disappointed is there a qwerty type phone that works and doesn't have crazy issues and a functioning keyboard!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!

this phone looks very pleasing from a view but i hav had this phone for 3 months and i can say it is a piece of crud. and i still hav 1year and a half to go and i hav been begging my mom to terminate it and pay a fee but tmobile is retarted im switching to verizon  the gravitys screen freezes all the time and playing music is dumb. u cant check your messages and listen to music at the same time. AAHHH i cant wait until dec. 9th 2010!! 

It's okay for texting, but it could be better. The QWERTY is small and cramped, and the keys are too flush with the surface. The selection keys on the keyboard are on the very sides; it would have been nice if they were next to the screen like the Rumor/Rumor 2/Rant. The alphanumeric keypad on the front is raised, but it's just not good enough. The only two color choices are horrible, too. Plus, the 'left' button on the d-pad takes you to the same place the messaging button right next to it does, and you can't change it!
Go for a Pearl or Curve if you want a good texting phone from T-Mobile!

i love the samsung gravity i got it a little over two month now and to tell you the truth this phones is aesoe i love how its an text messaging phone the camera for me is just great the soung is good better than the last so it get major points for that so basically overall the phone has good quailty to it i love it

I got this phone just a little over 3 days ago, and I have to say
that this phone is amazing to type on. The keys are nicely spaced
and have a good texture to them. The phone feels very well built,
and still fits easily into my pocket. The camera is decent, and the
speakers are loud. The screen's resolution isn't bad... but could
be better. It only has 1 programable shortcut key and its only limited
to IM, Email, Messages, and Create Message; still its not hard to
move around the phone. However the battery on this phone is absolute
crap. It takes a little over 2 hours to charge... and yet it takes just
over 2 hours for it to deplete from 5 bars to 1 bar. When charging it
heats up to... not sure what thats about but if Samsung would fix
the battery then this would be a very nice and affordable phone.

Really wanted to get the white Gravity phone as it looked great but went thru five of them in three days with the battery overheating in all five...had to settle for a green trim one as they ran out....works great but the battery will not keep a charge for more than two hours....at least it doesn't go into melt down mode....really would be great if the battery worked a tid bit baetter....

Great Phone !!! got for christmas and so far so good .

This phone is amazing !!!!!! i love the full keyboard and the sound is excellent =)

I just got my Samsung Gravity 2 days ago and the first thing i notice is the battery life sucks!! I called T Mobile and they told me to change how long my backlight is on and dim my phone but doesn't work they need to send out extended batteries to the Gravity users. Other than that the phone is great

yess,i really love this phonee! but yup the baterry is bad.I had to charge it 2 times in one day,when its fully charged.Also i would really like it if you can pick your own tones for when you get a txt message.You can record something then can put it as a ringtone when someone calls.My other phone would let you put recorded sounds as message tones.But other than tht this phone is AWSOME! got for christmas(:

My husband bought me this phone for Christmas and I really like it. It has alot of nice features and it looks cool. I find myself showing it off to everyone I know. The sliding part is nice. I like using the keyboard even though it's a bit small. I'm having a bit of an issue with the battery. It just seems to die so fast. My old phones would last up to 3 days on a full charge. But, this one, will only last a day. I don't use it constantly, and still have to re-charge it every night. I spoke with a Tmobile rep. and she told me to let the battery drain completely and then to re-charge it and this would make it last longer. I did it but it did't make a difference. Neverthelass, I still love this phone. It also looks nice in the clear plastic case I got for it. The quality of the photos it takes is also pretty good. I would recommend this phone to everyone. 

This phone is pretty sweet. Its got the fancy keyboard and it definitely looks cool. There's some things that aren't so great also. The feedback on the keyboard is kind of squishy and could use some improvements. Its a little cramped but you get used to it. Also the battery life sucks. It will last forever if its just lying around but if your constantly texting or talking it drains pretty fast (even with the brightness turned down all the way). Yet i would still recommend it.

I totally love this phone! I just got for christmas from my parents and it is the best thing in the world. It  has everything that I need. I can't say anything bad about it because its so COOL!

this phone is so dam cool its awsome my mam just orderd it for me and i was playin with it in the stor and its so nice ive never seen a nicer ohone everyone just so u no if ur buying this a new t mobile phone get this cuz its definitly beter than a sidekick or a g 1 or a blackbary buy it

this phone is so awesome! my boyfriend just bought it for me a week ago and it is awesome it has everything that the lg rumor has my best friend has on. so either one is good. it has internet and camera and everything you could want in a phone! i wear jeans all the time and it fits nicely in my pockets a little bit of a bulge but its ok! I dont know how much it was but im sure for this phone it is worth it!
