  • this phone is a piece of shit !deducting minutes and shit !

  • Where can you get drivers for downloading pictures for this phone, which I have also. Love the phone by the way.

  • The only big problem with this phone is the fact that the Alt Key does not work like Shift does, it toggles so you have to press it when you want numbers and then press it AGAIN when you don't need it...it gets hella tedious pretty fast...

  • where can i order this phone where it looks exactly like this no tracfone logo

  • @OsamaBinLaggiin its at best buy maybe at walmart

  • Comment removed

  • I was looking around for a prepaid phone and i'm geting this phone some of my friends have it

  • I am getting that phone tommorow

  • this phone is shit lmao

  • This is probably my all time favorite phone ..If your going to buy one buy the net10 version not the straight talk net10 has more options ..

  • am i able to write like notes or large word files on this phone. 

  • i had the r451 and it suckd but now im thinkin bout gettin this phone or the t404 and i was wondering what would b the best 1 for textin and callin and which 1 has the longest battery life?

  • @dodge1471 get the samsung t404g i had the t401g it was good but not good like the t404g so get the t404g.............u can get it for 30$ kmart or sears

  • @juanrochacarlos ok thanks bro

  • how come i have a samsung t401g its net10 and it has a tracphone sign and samsung at the top of it

  • @kittenxcrazy tracfone also owns straighttalk and net10 services. fyi. :)

  • is there a way to get that "home" thing off the screen?

  • how can you change the time and date it want let me change the time and date can you teach me how to change the time and date? Please

  • it is almost better than a smart phone

  • Now they have it with straight talk ! I am so getting this one! But what i did with the pics and videos is I have a cell phone that I use to have with 3.0 mp nd that is good ! so I saved it to the card from that phone and then put it in that phone :)

  • Now they have it with straight talk ! I am so getting this one

  • is this phone good? like is it fast and durable and also how long is the battery life and how long is the life of the phone? thanks! :)

  • @patsyrosie it is a good phone it defintley durable and what you mean fast? and battery life pretty good i guess had mine for 2 yrs still works good even been submerg in soapy water for somthin amount minutes

  • is this phone good? like fast and durable?

  • don't ever get this phone. it's ridiculous how eff'd up it is. it's nice at first but after a lot of use the paint chips, even the silver thumb pad turns bronze! it's so slow. and oh my gosh. you guys are making a huge mistake. i got my new phone r355c today. i hope its nice...

  • @itssaklx you do know this is the most bought phone for basic that is lol I dont think people would buy this phone if it was that effed up

  • I've had this phone for a few years now. About 1 and a half or 2 years. And it still works great. I love it. :D

  • Man I Still Waitin On Mine In The Mail -_-

  • I have owned this phone since Nov. '09. One of the best phones I have ever bought.

  • is this phone available for tracfone?

  • @lents3 yes

  • Mine's busted. . . White screen of doom.

  • This is a really cheap phone. The browser is so slow. It barely picks up signal. It might seem durable since you can drop it a million times without it breaking. I wouldn't recommend it.

  • 3:35 It's called proprietary dude.

  • I love my phone :)

  • Luckily now they have a Micro USB on all new phones. I am about to order this phone from Straight Talk's site soon. I am tired of Verizon's high prices, overage fees, harassment, and reconnection fees.

  • What about the T404g isn't it an upgrade?

  • @nfarnham2008 : i think so cause the t404g has four rows qwerty & the t401g has three rows..both cell ph's were used for T-Mobile! =0]

  • @tornmask : to be exact these ph's had previous title names ie: t404g was the Gravity t469 (which had 3G & YouTube) & t401g (which didnot have 3G or YouTube) was the Gravity t459...both cell ph's were great & so are the current ones too!..same phones..different colors & probably different mechanism! :0]

  • @tornmask : pardom me the previous T-Moblie Samsung t469 was the Gravity 2! =0\

  • @tornmask yeah when is the T404g going to be available at stores? the best buy site says coming soon, but the Net10 website says you can order it (but i dont trust online orders, they have fucked up many things)

  • @nfarnham2008 : yeah!..i kwn wat u mean!..i'm curious when this t404g is gonna appear in stores too..i also aggree bout the website..im not taking that chance..should be any day now..who knw's! :o/

  • @tornmask Yah I would just get the t401 but the 404 has an lcd screen, digital menu input (instead of the old net10 basic phone background menu) as well as better cam, etc.

  • @nfarnham2008 : thx 4 the info..this should be intresting! =0l

  • What about the Samsung T404G?

  • the samsung t404g is a better version of the t401

  • I've had this phone for a year or so and I freakin love it.

    PROS: I only spend $20 a month on minutes (I have 3 cent text messages) and I can MAKE my own friggin ringtones! LOVE♥it! I also have a 16 GB micro SD in mine and have yet to run out of room.

    CONS: sometimes when I shut it too hard it will shut off but other than that it's good! My bf doens't take care of his (lots of dirt and crud) and lately (after a year or so) his has a hard time sliding ... time for a new one!

  • I just got this phone, I'm having trouble saving pictures and videos sent through text. How do I save the picture or video and how can I access it later?

  • @emmypop1998 if u havent called straight talk then i guess u should do so. :)

  • i got mine @ best buy for $20 with a free 300 min card! (a year ago)

  • lol i got mine at walmart for $50 and i got a free 300 minute card with it

  • Do not get this phone.

    Had it for over a year, there are problems that will align down the line like Random shutting of, inability to leave voicemails, inability to receive texts, short battery life, etc.

    Net10 has the LG 900G. A far better phone.

  • You made this review super boring. I would have like to see it function its interfaces for browsing and messaging. I can view the phone easily through pictures.

  • Im getting this for my B-day in 3 days :D

  • I like this Samsung a lot. It is user friendly, I like the sliding option and rotating screen. It would suit folks who are upgrading there old touch screen Samsung's

  • i got this phone for christmas and it sucks dick. i really wanna switch to the cheaper plan that virgin mobile has and get the LG optimus v. too bad, i don't really wanan wait 2 months for it........(which is when i'm getting it for my birthday.)

  • @BFFracheldestiny yeah this phone sucks.Ive already had it for 6 months or so and its a pain the ass. the lg optimus v is way better.HIGHLY RECOMMEND VIRGIN MOBILE=] good thing I'm finally getting out of this plan with this cheap as phone and switching to US CELLULAR and getting the HTC DESIRE.

  • the samsung t401g is simply a rebranded gravity that was released on tmobile a few yers back. the t404g, is the gravity 2. they are not new models

  • Thanks so much for this review!  Excellent job! :o)

  • nice review and song choice. ramble on a led classic!

  • Comment removed

  • i locked myself out of this phone and cant rember the pin code and it says blocked sim

  • can't wait for the sequel 404G

  • Actually the camera button will come on in locked setting, I have 2 pics of my dash to prove it from where I would put it in the holder.

  • Can it have a Signature?

  • thisss fonee iss daa samee ass my fonee buttt my fonee iss aa t-mobile samgsung gravity

  • This is one of the nicest Net10 phone I've seen. It is great that you get free minutes when you buy it. Be warned. Net 10 are coming out with more up to date phones, but this is still a really good basic phone

  • I really love this phone. It's like my old rumor2 from sprint. But my mom didn't like sprint, so I got net10. Prepaid is way better in my opinion, cuz u don't need to pay $100 a month for 2 years. And the big companies always come out with new phones, so if u wanted a new phone, you'd have to wait 2 years, and with prepaid, if you want a new one, you don't have to wait.

  • This is an excellent phone. It has great basic features and if you are not looking for a smartphone then this will be all the phone you need. My experience with this phone and with Net10 has been excellent. I thoroughly recomend it.

  • does it have gps

  • its awesome

  • Can't wait to get mine! Nice upgrade from the $15 one I have.

    Coming with a $50 unlimited card and $20 giftcard. Not bad!

  • Loved this phone when I had it. Unfortunately, it got dropped about five times and didn't work right after that. But I highly recommend for Net10 users.

  • how do u put music on it?

  • Got this phone for christmas and I love it. My rents got me the unlimited deal that has unlimited calls, texts, web/email and 411. It was the best christmas present!

  • ok i went to myxer.com and sent some free ringtones to this phone same exact 1 and it wont let me get it how do i get ringtones also can i get cell phone cases for this

  • Got this phone for christmas!!!!

  • me to

  • Great phone from tracfone, I love it, it really does everything I need and exceeded my expectations in terms of a prepaid phone. Love the functionality- the qwerty is top class! and the coverage is great:)

  • @Miser818 Are you serious?? OMG!! I thought Tracfone would never get a QWERTY keyboard phone this is awesome!!:)

  • hey i found out the samsung t401g can fit the gravity case the gravity 1

  • Can the mp3 player be used simultaneously with other features (text messaging, web browser, whatever)? It cannot on my R451C, and I find that a significant annoyance.

  • Led Zeppelin! Nice!

  • i am going to get this phone for Christmas

  • @mimibuble me too i asked for it

  • @mimibuble ahahh me too!!!

  • @mimibuble lol i got this phone for christmas! i opened it early (^_^)

  • @chrismfoster14 same here... great so far

  • @lilhiphoplvr i like it pretty well except the fact that you cant have a custom text ringtone

  • @chrismfoster14 is it nice like you would think it is

  • @chrismfoster14 same here

  • @chrismfoster14 Me too

  • @chrismfoster14 i got it too

  • @chrismfoster14 santa dosnt like that

  • How is call quality on this phone?

  • Hello, I was wondering, i have the small samsung flip phone, and I want to switch to this one. How do I go about switching over my minutes and phone number, can I just switch out the sim card?

  • @nfarnham2008 yes i did

  • @piinkice01 Wow, it is that easy? Awesome.

  • @nfarnham2008 You can't switch the simcard if it's prepaid. They don't allow it. When you buy the phone you can go to the Net10 or Tracfone sight and activate phone and click on transfer my number and it'll transfer your minutes too. If it doesn't work call the company and they'll do it for you.

  • is it true you cant set a text tone for this fone

  • @Indestructable93 true. u cant have personalized text tones. :P it comes with like 5 types with it

  • @hopeluvpeace15 hi again so another user said u cant set personalized ringtones for texts but u can change ur text tone to one of ur own ringtones instead of using a default whats ur take on that and does that make sense

  • @Indestructable93 hmm. i don't think so because i have the phone and i dont think you can.

  • I have a couple of questions... How long can you record videos on this phone?

    And if I wanted to redeem a card, or add money to my account to use my phone, how do I do that?

  • is this the one for 100 at walmart? or is that the r450?

  • I just got this phone. I like it except that when i get a text or make a call all the icons designs are freaking pink! What the heck lol can i change that??

  • This is really a great value phone and is certainly worth way more than $43.65 (Bestbuy). Awesome camera and the qwerty is awesome and easy to use. I have this phone on tracfone and I really enjoy the coverage it gets and the fact that I've never dropped a call!

  • @MyWayJimmy It is a really great phone... The best on prepaid if you ask me. The qwerty keyboard, bluetooth, picture and a video recorder are all features that you normally find on contract smartphones. And the tracfone service and coverage are better than most those postpaid providers..

  • i got this phone at bestbuy mobile for 43.65 it's great!

  • how long does the video run

  • how mine minutes do you spend when you texts

  • @mimibuble if you buy the 45 dollar card the text plan along with call and internet is unlimited for 30 days.

  • Can the mp3 player be used in your car? If so,what connection is needed? Does this connection come with the phone?

  • i have the phone for net 10. it is AWESOME a must buy for any teenager that is looking phone cheap

  • My brother has this phone, he says when I send him Pictures and Videos that they are so small he can't see them, any Idea on what needs to be done here to correct this issue?

  • I just bought this phone, I don't have Bluetooth, I bought a USB cord but unable to transfer pics because it says "missing hardware" any idea what or if I can even download something so I don't waste minutes sending pics to my e-mail. Thanks

  • Great phone, I've had it for about 5 months and no bumps and service is great. Just a heads up best buy has a great deal for it on Net10 on 11/26: Samsung T401 @ 50%off with BLUETOOTH @$79.99 was $39.99.

  • i got this phone at kmart for 58 bucks i love it!

  • Net10's versatility is certainly something that has drawn me to it. The unlimited $50 isn't the cheapest (st is the cheapest), but the ability to choose $15 for 200 minutes is pretty cool. Doing the checking out the phone thing now though. I like this phone, but it seems very bulky (?)

  • Which should i choose?

    Samsung T401G (this phone) or LG Rumor 2 by Virgin mobile?

  • OK Im getting a phone for christmas and can ANYONE tell me what is the difference between this phone and the other fone Straight Talk Samsung Prepaid Phone with Keyboard, R451C which seem to be very much alike AND look so much alike, what do you think is better?

  • Now that i bought the phone im going to let everyone know that it will record more than 30sec but you are going to need a memory card

  • The r451c is better than this 1 but its kinda the same model

  • @TheRealPoptart how if i may ask

  • @Indestructable93 Look At the other 1 ok!~

  • hi person

    

  • Can I make music folders and actually select a folder or album I want to play on the phone?

  • my phone has the o logo in tracfone on it! and i got it from net ten not straightalk or tracfone! it was in a net 10 package so i think they put the phone in the wrong package

  • @craziestwebshowever i thought so too but if you didnt know this TRACFONE and NET10 are actually alike and are together in a since

  • Just bought one of these at Radio Shack. Listed at $79, with a $20 instant rebate.

  • @mfwills i got mine from radioshack for 50$

  • I think I got the wrong phone! I want this phone instead. It'll do brilliantly for net10's $50 unlimited plan. And if the worst comes to the worst - I can always get the $15 plan to get me by.

  • Does this phone have a flash player? I want a phone that plays videos.

  • @darrelwarren yeah

  • @craziestwebshowever  So just to be clear, it will play youtube videos while on the youtube site?

  • can u sent text tones on here like downloadble ones?

  • @Microsoftkid1 lol da i'm stupied can u set tones as text tones like downloadable ones...but i have this phone now and u only have 4 to choose from..

  • does it work with myspace an facebook?

  • I heard these phones don't have personalized ringtones for calls only and not text messages. is this true?

  • @darkmark2393 Not at all you can do all those things

  • @fashahar i just realized i worded that comment wrong. i meant to say they have personalized ringtones for calls only (not don't have). anyways... cool thanks. i'm getting this phone soon and that was a concern since i usually only text

  • @darkmark2393 glad to help. i also text all the time and this phone is perfect for it

  • I have this phone and love it. Text like mad and with net10s new unlimited for $50 plan, I do it all day. Ha!

  • thank u "prepaiddeals"!  =o)

  • does anyone know how to take off the thing were it displays your minutes you have left and days of service please anyone know how to take it off because it gets annoying

  • grandmasterofwin, why do shitty people like you exist. not everyone likes those annoying messed up touchscreens out there. i have used them, and i do not like them at all. they are shitty. society has gotten so lazy that they want everything at a push of a button. no matter society is overweight. i happen to like this phone because it reminds me of a very good phone on the verizon network. you're just slow.

  • @watermelonguzzer Wow... someone has their panties in a twist... You shouldnt be talking about push of a button... It is a phone... it does things at a push of a button... Plus, some people like better quality phones... Plus, I do not see why you had to say ":=society is overweight" in that... That had nothing to do with any of this...

  • how do i copy albums with songs to the sd card and get the phone to see it. I can't get my phone to see that there are songs in the folder/albums.

  • how long will it record a video?

  • @MoparMadness1968 30 sec

  • monotone

  • i cant set ringtones over 300 kb wat the hell??????

  • Turns off by itself sometimes and the call volume is not as loud or good as other phones. Thumbs down.

  • The Costumer service is terrible. I lost my phone went and bought a new one called them to get my number transferd to the new phone took over 4 hours the first day and 2 hours the second day. The call center is in the Philipines and i had a hard time understanding them i was transferd 8 times. I do not recomend this carrier at all. They have alot to learn on costumer care.

  • this phone sucks therer is no head phone jack noweb browsing and all the ringtones u can buy r only rithim if u r thinking of buying if phone DO NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

    go with virgin mobile 25$ a month u get unlided web,text,and300 min

  • @1000ksome you can get a headphone and if you have music on it u can set it to as your ringtone so you dont even need to buy ringtones.

  • I have that phone! I like it

  • How do you get ringtones on it without a data cable? Can anyone help me please?

  • hey i noticed yours has the samsung title in front and mine has the trafone symbol, which i hate thaat it shows the tracfone symboil in front

  • @kilala435 thank you

  • ... why do phones this shitty even exist? lol its like i looking 2 years into the past

  • so should i get it?

  • btw..how many contacts will the Samsung T401G hold?

  • I bought it last week and now the keyboard isn't working with the browser, i.e. I can't input my user name and password to log into my favorite websites!

  • Nicest Net10 phone I've seen yet. With all the free minutes and service with purchase, its a great deal. Haven't had a problem with it yet and I am gracious for the qwerty keyboard and mp3 player.

  • can this phone be unlocked?

  • Can U upload the videos to the internet with the browser?

  • does this phone have a place to attach cell phone straps? Decorating my phone is one of the things I'm known for, and sadly, it's the #1 feature that I need. I'm trying to see if I can see it in the video, but I want to make sure.
