Hi. Please help this ignorant enduser that has so much on her plate that knowing the details of phones is not on the top of the list.
I lost my T-Mobile phone at LAX. I am on the plan with a Linksys Router, so any calls I make while at home or in my yard are free.
SO, I need a new phone; I have a tremor in my right hand, so I need a phone with large buttons. I went to a store and an ignorant worker showed me the new touch screen phone. I asked her, is it Wi Fi? Uh, I don't know. Snap. I have heard rumors that T-Mobile is rolling out several new phones through the holidays. Do I use my insurance, get another phone with small buttons, or, do I keep using the loaner and pray that they will have another phone come out that would work with my Linksys router very soon? My cousin is rich, bought the hot shot phone with the keyboard appearing on the whole screen from ATT. It was "unlocked", whatever that means, and he uses it with another carrier. Please advise:I need all the help I can get.
Thanks, Mary Anne

automatically it switches over to the qwerty keyboard... AUTOMATICALLY!!!!! so it does have virtual qwerty keyboard and
the phone looks pretty solid when i saw the review.. two cons
no 3.5 mm jack (which i don't mind) not hot swappable card slot
(now this i do mind) and no wifi (which i don't mind either)
but the phone looks very good though.. two colors pink and espresso

I saw the F700 in a phone shop in my local shopping Mall. I personally think Samsung should have made the screen a bit bigger than that. Have'nt seen your posts lately bro! Were u just chilling? Keep the posts rolling homie!

If this is a F480 on steroids, i wonder if that will mean this phone will have a t9 AND virtual qwerty keyboard, seeing as the F480 only has t9. why no WI-FI?

i think "behold" is a ridiculous name. while for the other, the specs are too low to be named "gravity".

The Samsung Gravity is actually the first phone by Samsung with such form factor. In its essence the Samsung Gravity is pretty much like some other phones as HTC S730 and S710. Only those run on Windows Mobile, while the Samsung Behold doesn't.

i think u ment to put "while the samsung gravity does not"

yet both devices do no have wndows mobile

..and to GSMarena:

I thought Samsung' touch UI is called TouchWiz NOT TouchWix. Are they patented under two names??
