Pros:

Roomy QWERTY keyboard, Includes 3G, GPS, and (finally) a real headphone jack.
The Samsung Gravity Txt has a functional feature set and admirable call quality.
Cheap, Good battery life

Cons:

Finicky trackpad, Needs extra function keys underneath the screen in landscape mode, Weak speakerphone, T-Mobile blocks Internet access on third-party apps.
The Samsung Gravity Txt isn't the best phone for an optical joystick. Though the QWERTY keyboard is spacious, the buttons are stiff and the placement of some shortcut controls is disorienting.
