Samsung Gravity 2 Berry Mauve Review
By admin on March 23rd, 2010
When Samsung released the Gravity, it was one of the first messaging phones that you could get from T-Mobile, but it left a lot to be desired as far as features. Now with the Samsung Gravity 2 – Berry Mauve, you get the same phone, but with some great improvements.
Some of the improvements you’ll see with the Samsung Gravity 2 include the addition of 3G, GPS, as well as an upgraded camera; it now features a 2-megapixel shooter. The Gravity 2 – Berry Mauve still has the same type of design as the original; it has a candy bar shape and a slide out, full QWERTY keyboard. One difference in design that you’ll get with this phone is that it is more compact and thinner. The Gravity 2 measures 4.5 x 2.1 x 0.6 inches and features a 2.3-inch screen that supports 262,000 colors.
You will definitely find that the Gravity 2 has more features than what came with the original version, but of course it also comes with all of the basic features too; these include a phonebook that can accommodate up to 1,000 contacts, plus there is a speakerphone, a vibrate mode, and a calendar. You will also get an alarm clock, a tasks list, and a memo pad. For advanced features the Samsung Gravity 2 – Berry Mauve offers Bluetooth, voice recognition, as well as Assisted GPS.
For those who like surfing the Internet with their mobile phone, the Gravity 2 does feature a full HTML browser that can make getting on the web a pleasant experience. This web browser supports flash, as well as Java; this means that there are more sites than you will be able to view without a problem. The one obstacle to getting the best Internet experience is that the screen size just isn’t adequate for viewing web pages without having to scroll.
Due to the fact that the Gravity 2 does put a lot of emphasis on messaging, you will get several messaging options. These options include email support, as well as text and multimedia messaging. In addition, you also get instant messaging, plus there is the option of audio postcards.
Aside from these features the Gravity 2 – Berry Mauve has a built in music player, and although it is pretty basic, it does support several audio formats. The upgraded camera also records video and offers several different photography modes that help you when you are trying to get the perfect picture.
The call quality that you get with the Gravity 2 is very good, voices sound great and the volume is loud enough that you can hear easily. The battery rating for this phone is 5.5 hours of talk time and 12.5 days of standby time.
