hi is this 2004 Colleen yeah I think it is okay you know you wondering why I'm saying that I'm saying that because this phone does look like it's a decade old but I'm Kim Sherman and I'm here to give you a first look at the samsung gravity queue now I know and this isn't a criticism trust me when I say that this phone does look like from another time because I recognize that there are a lot of people that probably want a phone like this well maybe not a lot but few people that probably want this they want something it doesn't require data plan which is this kind of phone they want something with a physical keyboard and they want something it's just not a literally complicated with a lot of features they're not going to use this phone definitely fits the bill for all of that it is only 153 with of course with t-mobile service that means you don't need a contract you can just put a few dollars down you can pay it off in monthly installments or you can pay it off at all at once but that's a pretty reasonable price for a phone that doesn't change to t-mobile for two years it is pretty small so of course you want to remember that it does have a small screen it's not very bright it's not very colorful it doesn't have a lot of graphics does have five home screens so you can cycle between them you can actually place widgets on the home screen so you can get to things like your email Andy the features that you use pretty often so that's something we wouldn't have seen a long time ago but it is nice the screen is pretty responsive to your touch there seems to be a little bit of a lag but not too bad so I wouldn't worry about it there are two dedicated touch controls down below that are in the hardware their phone as well as the dedicated back button that is a physical control so nice mixture of controls shakes it up pretty well here on the side there's a volume rocker you have a microSD slot over here nice to see a micro SD or expandable memory slot on the phone of this stature especially something so small and not very powerful over in this size you have a dedicated camera control and a power control as well on the back there's your lens for the two megapixel camera so two megapixel Beth's than something else from another age doesn't have a flash doesn't have any really complicated camera technology but you know it is a camera for those times that you need it it's light up the phone turn it on side slide it up you'll see that the screen automatically rotates there's no accelerometer so the screen isn't going to rotate if you tip it like this it will rotate though when you open the phone down below there is a four row keypad so it's pretty spacious actually and what I like one thing I look for all the time is that there's plenty of space between the bottom of the phone or the bottom of the slider and the first row of keys you're not constantly pumping your finger up against that so definitely have that numbers do share space with letters as well as symbols so you're gonna have to you know hit like a shift button or a function button to get to some of the other special characters it's not really unusual that we see that on a lot of phones especially the physical keyboards a nice wide space bar in the middle which is nice sometimes space bars they put them on either side they put them over the end so it's nice to see it in the middle of something that you used to the use of keyboards of course inside pretty standard feature is to make epistle camera as I said some email texting but really this is a phone for making calls sending text not really a lot else having a lot of Samsung gravities in this line this is just the latest most of them have been pretty basic like this I wouldn't recommend this phone for anyone it wants a lot out of it so this is really a basic phone for making calls keeping in touch and it's gonna be really easier well I'm Ken Sherman here with the first look at the samsung gravity you
