Does anyone have either of these two cellphones? I have a T-Mobile plan and have looked at both these phones. The Behold is a touch screen phone and the Gravity has a pull-out keyboard for texting.
Any advice would be appreciated re: pros/cons, etc.!
Nan it depends what you are looking for. I am a Sprint customer and I had a choice of the Samsung Rant which is closest equivalent to the Gravity, or the Samsung Instinct (touchscreen) which is equivalent to the Behold.
Because I am a heavy texter, I chose and am extremely happy with the Rant, which would be the Gravity in T-Mobile. I like the slide out full QWERTY keyboard, as the slide out horizontal orientation provides a bit more finger room and comfort and speed/ accuracy for texting. The camera on the Rant... cousin to Gravity, is very good, though videos, are only average, particularly in sound.
Here's a youtube video of a guy unpacking and showing you features of his new t-mobile Gravity, you might find it useful: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSNNC5CuLNQ If you search for t-mobile gravity you will find other similar reviews
Here's a youtube cnet review of Behold: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NKgmU81ScM search for t-mobile behold you'll find actual "taking it out of the box" reviews.
I understand that the Samsung Instinct, cousin to the Behold, has a somewhat better camera, and video function. However, I am not a particular fan of a totally touchscreen situation. I have found that touchscreens tend to be a little problematic with heavy use. Often have to touched twice or are easy to touch the spot next to the one you want.(Always remember, the more you automate, the more can go wrong LOL). I have a close freind who is a Sprint manager. She told me the repair rate was higher for all-touchscreen phones than non-touchscreen. If you get the Behold, I would defintiely get some sort of inclusive Protection /Repair plan for it.
That's all I know. Again, I have the Samsung Rant, as a Sprint customer, so I am talking about a "cousin" to your Gravity, not the exact same model. Just giving you a general idea of why I chose mine. Good luck!! :-)
