Samsung has unveiled a candy-bar phone with slide out QWERTY keypad and 3G support. Named Samsung Gravity 2 3G Mobile Phone, T-Mobile is releasing the phone in USA by August 2009. This is a message-friendly phone, and the easy to use keypad along with the large 2.4” screen helps to enhance the comfort while texting. Gravity2 is more or less a basic phone with a relatively crude 2MP camera, decent MP3 player, bluetooth, and microSD expandable memory.
Apart from the exceptional messaging capabilities, this handset features good web browser, RSS news reader and a set of personal information management tools. This handset comes with AOL interface, google mail, yahoo mail, etc. Ample spacing is given between the keys to prevent multi-keys being pressed at the same time. Another message-centric option in this handset is the“www./.com” key that helps to enter web addresses without any hassle. A smiley keyis also housed in this device.
Unfortunately, Samsung has ruled out the Wi-Fi options in this handset. Samsung gravity 2 is also known as Samsung T469 Mobile Phone. This 114 x 52 bx 15mm device comes with a talk time of upto 5.5 hours and a standby time of 12 days. However, this is not a steak for Brits… Gravity2 mobile phone works on Band IV UMTS which is reported to be used only in US. Hence it is disappointing that one cannot use it across the Europe! Samsung has managed to squeeze in a user friendly keyboard without making the phone so bulky. If you ask me, it is not the best phone; but it will be a smart choice for the messaging freaks.
