I have had this phone about 3 weeks now and it is a decent phone and you should buy it if it ever comes on sale again for $40 again it is another model of the t459[gravity]. I love this phone it's a good phone for the price i got it atand for the brand it is pretty up to date for net 10 if you love to text i prefer you get this phone.it is the best damb phone with a full qwerty keypadi know except the blackberry curve and pearl.<br /><br />PROS.<br />1.Full qwerty keypad amzing for texting<br />2.easy texting<br />3.3 cent texting instead of 5 for most net 10 phones<br />4.1.3 mgp. camera is decent for just a 1.3mpg camera [good pictures]<br />5.high speed data edge network and fast data.<br /><br />CONS.<br />1.could have email and instant messaging.<br />2.web browsing is very expensive 1.00 a page so could be cheaper with another gsm carrier.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34978#review34978 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34978#review34978 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 22:43:09 GMT <p><i>shorty_baby submitted this review of the Samsung Gravity T459 / Strike:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I absolutely love this phone. Texting is super easy, and you can go on your e-mail. Although everything I have found on this phone is good, the battery life is a little bad, but all I do is charge it every night and when i get up in the morning it is fully charged. It lasts me all day and hasn't died since i first got the Gravity. All in all, the Gravity is a good phone for people who text a lot. I strongly recommend it to people who need to upgrade, or even get a new phone!<br /> <br /><br />(:</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34897#review34897 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34897#review34897 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 14:25:24 GMT <p><i>misst78 submitted this review of the Samsung Gravity T459 / Strike:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is PERFECT for texting! <br />I did upgrade to the comeback but I'm keeping my Gravity.

So far, I have been pleased with the performance of the Gravity. <br /><br />The phones reception is average. It's signal is usually pretty good, but even with 1-2 bars of service, I haven't had any dropped calls. Unless your in a fringe area, reception isn't a problem. <br /><br />Call quality is very good, with loud volume over the earpiece and speakerphone. There is no static, and only a slight "gsm buzz", which is nothing abnormal. Call quality does not change whether the phone had a full signal, or only one bar. I've had several phones in which call quality suffered with lower signal strength, but fortunately the Gravity is not one of them. <br /><br />Battery life on the Gravity isn't a problem, just the battery meter. It's not accurate at all, and if you don't pay any mind to it, it won't bother you. On average, I get an easy days use out of the phone. I'd give it about 4.5 to 5 hours of talk time, with moderate messaging included. Internet and speakerphone usage does tend to drain the battery faster. <br /><br />Both the full and standard keyboards were very pleasant and easy to use. Buttons are large, and i've made very few accidental presses. Messaging and e-mailing is a breeze. My only complaint is that it does not have a one touch shift mode. Pressing ALT automatically locks the function, which becomes a little inconvenient at times. <br /><br />The Gravity comes with EDGE, and is good for e-mail and light internet use. Don't expect a full web experience, but it's plenty good enough for light usage and emails. <br /><br />Overall, i'm very happy with the performance of the Gravity. It's a good phone for calling, and offers very good messaging capabilities. If your looking for a phone with good call quality, a full keyboard, and email, this is a good phone. Those looking for a full web experience or a signal puller should look elsewhere.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34354#review34354 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34354#review34354 Tue, 07 Jul 2009 14:52:05 GMT <p><i>Qbanbull submitted this review of the Samsung Gravity T459 / Strike:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>OK so I got this phone yesterday. The White and Teal (blue) color. Heres my review.<br /><br />This phone is great in the sense that you have a full keyboard. You get free email access without the option of a data plan, as long as you have the text plan you get free email. <br />I understand what people say after reading reviews. I got the phone with a full charge and it went all the way down to 1 bar of battery within 3-4 hours of constant use. Constant use meaning, playing with the ringtones, texting people to test out the keyboard. Configurate and upload emails. Make several calls and personalize pics and ringtones to contact list individuals. <br />So, I may have used it a little too much, but for this phone not to support a full days work, really questions the ability of being a reliable good phone, battery wise. <br /><br />I wasn't too sure of the bubbly feel from the front number key pads, as it looked tacky. But now having it, its not a big deal. <br /><br />The mp3 left something to be desired. It doesnt have the option to fast forward between songs. If someone calls you, the song gets interrupted and when your call ends, the song starts back from the beginning. <br /><br />Overall... this phone is great. Theres many ways to better the batter like, as soon as your done using the phone, lock it so theres no backline on to run the battery. <br />Make sure the Brightness of the phone is not to level 5 because that eats up alot of energy. Make sure the Duration of the Backlight is at its minimal, 5 seconds, 15 the most. Also make sure not to over charge, by leaving it overnight charging as this will burn out the battery. <br />Maximum charge is 4-5 hours on a dead battery. Anything other than that, charge it until full, dont let it sit charging when its full, your burning the battery.<br /><br />I would recommend this phone. I just dont know if this phone is for me. <br />I am a blackberry guy so we'll see.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34317#review34317 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1797&r=34317#review34317 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:14:10 GMT <p><i>Mrslesliemiller submitted this review of the Samsung Gravity T459 / Strike:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My husband loves this phone.

The fact that you can check your email on this phone and not have to have an Internet package is the best. I am always notified when I get a new email now I don't have to run to a computer and check them I can do it right from my phone. Another thing I haven't had a problem with the call quality I think its great. The ringers and alarm tones I set a ring tone as my alarm and its so loud. The only thing I don't like about the alarm is it goes off every 5 minutes when you don't turn it off that drives me crazy especially when u try to get a few extra minutes LOL. The only other major downfall is the battery it could have been better for all the features this phone has it needs a strong battery. And as far as the memory for the text yea the sim only holds 30 but the phone can hold over 100 and I never delete them until I hit over the 100. My best investment of there year so. I LOVE THE GRAVITY. Thanks T-Mobile.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1797
