Samsung Gravity 3

If you haven't already harassed Mom and Dad into getting you a new phone, you might want to insist on adding a Samsung Gravity 3 to your back-2-school gear haul. The affordably-priced (to see how affordable, see below) 3G phone boasts a sliding keyboard (using the phonepad to type is sooooo 2001), a 2.0MP digital camera that can take both photos and short videos, and comes pre-loaded with the social networking application Social Buzz.

Best of all? It's only $49.99!
