Pros: The Samsung Gravity T is beyond quick, reacting with little lag, and Social Buzz is rather advanced and nice if you enjoy social networking sites such as Twitter or Facebook, and the Full QWERTY keyboard is nice as well. The keyboard doesn’t stick and it feels great.

Cons: The Screen is a Resistive touchscreen and is not very accurate, the camera is of low-grade – only 2-Megapixels, it still falls far short from being anywhere near a smartphone, not very advanced of a device.

The extra keyboard room prevents cramming keys together and thus mistyping. Numbers can be accessed from the top row of the key pad by pressing the alt key. The only complaint with the Gravity T structure is a flatter keyboard than desired. The 1000 mAh batter has a listed battery life at 6 hours for communicating, with a 16.7 day life on standby. The 2-megapixel digital camera located on the rear panel has video capabilities, a step above comparable 2-megapixel camera models. The camera is also fix-focused, slightly making up for its mere 2-megapixels. The Gravity 3 has multiple applications and widgets that can be customized and rearranged to the three home screens. The phone has assigned camera and lock keys on the side to maximize ease and prevent unwanted typing. At 4.29 inches in length, 2.23 inches in width, and 0.59 inches in thickness, the Gravity T is light weight and a great size considering it’s multimedia abilities.

The Gravity T’s call quality was excellent without interruptions. The speaker phone served its purpose as a loud alternative to directly speaking to the phone, with minimal echo. The phone also displayed good sound quality when playing music on speaker from the media center. I was pleasantly surprised with the loudness of the speaker. When streaming videos, the quality of the picture remained clear with slight disturbances in pixel distortion. Thankfully, all streaming complications cleared within seconds. The Social-Buzz application allows you to stay in contact with all our social networks. You can remain logged in to multiple sites, with live feeds and updates brought to you instantly. Overall, the phone has excellent navigation keys with quick access to a side tool manager bar, or widget tray. In addition to customized home pages, the interface has shortcuts at the bottom of each including a link to internet browser, dial key pad, contacts, and text messaging. Changing widget settings is easily accomplished. When browsing the internet, the Gravity T has made bookmarking pages,zooming, and surfing the internet simple. Switching back and forth between internet and message system is extremely fast. Loading large files through emails can be slow, despite the 3G connection. The CPU overloaded a few times when in use. The phone has all the standard applications including a camera, blue tooth capability, and calender. In addition to the traditional apps, the Gravity T also has a built in GPS with Google Maps and Telev GPS Navigator available. Applications are easily added and removed by a plus or minus button that appears on the screen. Although the Gravity T is a touch screen, the phone does not use capacitive sensing technology, which is more sensitive to touch, movement, and accuracy than resistive versions. An interesting feature is the ability to draw characters on the touch screen to quickly open devices and bypass the homescreen. The shortcuts including tracing the letter C forcontacts, the letter M for messaging, V for voicemail, B for browser, and a square for home. Another feature I enjoyed was the vibration feedback setting which activates a buzz confirming when your finger opens something. The dolphin browser which allows various browsing options at once was definitely a nice bonus.With room for over 2,000 contacts in the phone book, you will never run out of space for future social connections.
