I do not have a Fave 5 plan and all of my numbers in my phonebook show up with names in my caller id.

QWERTY is simply the first 6 letters on a standard keyboard or typewriter and in this context indicates the phone has a keyboard with the same layout as your computer's keyboard.

But if I've misunderstood the question or you've already Googled that answer.... Never mind! :)

I got this phone last week from T-Mobile. T-Mobile doesn't offer much in the way of full qwerty keyboards. Here is what I have discovered about this phone so far:


The Good:

-You can make your own ringtones from mp3s or midis and put them on the phone.

-Great functioning full qwerty keyboard.

-Inexpensive for those on a budget.

-Decent sound quality for music.

-Bluetooth works great.

-Samsung quality. Solid. Doesn't feel like it will break if you handle it rough.


The Bad:

-Battery life sucks. (Everyone here seems to agree as well.)

-No caller ID names come up on the phone unless they are in your "five faves". Only the number shows up when the phone rings for everyone else (even if they are in your phonebook). This has been confirmed by T-Mobile.

-Samsung claims that up to 4gig SD cards are supported when in reality only up to 2gig SD cards work in the phone.

-Call quality could be better if you actually want to talk on your phone instead of just texting.



Lots of pros and only a few cons, but the cons are really bad. I think I will probably take this phone back to T-Mobile. The worst thing about it for me is the caller ID disappointment.

Plug it into your computer then into the same slot for charging the battery and you can transfer your pix, tunes, vids to and from your computer and phone. It has worked without any problems at all for me.

The phone cost just around $50 in the mail and just around $100 in the store. It might be extra with the $50 for other fees. Its from T-Mobile. I have this phone and its great except the fact that it doesn't have a USB cord slot so you have to you this my mobile program on T-Mobile in order to put pictures on Myspace, Facebook, etc..

I love the full key pad. Need it because I'm in my forties and learning to text my teens. But, I also wanted to get rid of my old mp3 player and store music on my phone. It does not have a normal headphone jack!!! I live in a small town, and have to order the adaptor on line, for extra money. Plus, the memory is limited. I should have just gotten the blackberry. By the time I buy the adaptor, the memory card, the adaptor cable for my computer because it doesn't have the usual outlet for usp connection, it costs the same as it would for a less capable phone.

i jsut got this phone like yesterday and its an amaziiing phonee. the only problem ii have is the battery life (but so is everyone else) and i cant get my phonebook to work. i try to open up the application (?) and then all that comes up is "mobile is initiating backup" and i dont now what that means. The only numbers i currently have on my phone that show are people with the names up to the letter "m". when my friend Nicole texted me, i tried to add her name to my contacts list but it said it was already there. this might sound confusing but if anyone understands it please help me cause i dont know what to do !

I recently purchased the Samsung Gravity and almost returned it due to the poor battery life. I previously had a BlackBerry that stopped working. I did not want to replace it with another BlackBerry and decided to give this phone a try because I liked the QWERTY keyboard.

I found a few forums that suggested allowing the batter to fully drain before recharging. I repeated this process for two days and now my battery holds a full charge. I charged it this morning and it is almost 5 pm eastern and I still have a full charge.

I hope that this means the problem has been solved.
