T-Mobile announced the Samsung Gravity, a candybar cell phone with a convenient slide-out QWERTY keyboard. The Gravity also sports a microSD card slot for storage expansion and Bluetooth with A2DP support for stereo headsets, which should add up to a decent portable music experience.
The Samsung Gravity’s 1.3 megapixel camera also records video, which should allow it to capture plenty of great moments, while support for T-Mobile’s MyFaves service helps you keep in touch with your friends and family.
The Samsung Gravity cell phone is expected to be available on November 17th, priced at $49.99 with a new 2-year commitment. Two color schemes, white with aqua accents and grey with lime accents, will be available.

cool man, i like samsung better than LG.
I really like this phone (Gravity) even though T-Mobile will not honor their rebate on it. They did not honor my rebate on my last upgrade either. I followed all the rules exactly on both rebates. I know, I was dumb to trust T-Mobile. Anyway, there is one odd thing about the phone. The battery power indicator is like a bad gas gauge on a car. Their are 5 bars. The last bar will show the same amount of time as the first four put together. You never know how much battery power you have left.
