The finesse is a great touchscreen phone! In the past the touchscreens I have had were not well calibrated and the screen broke easily. I have a two year old and he loves listening to music on my phone so having been dropped several times its still in great shape! This phone is durable and I am amazed at how easy it was to use. The plan is also a great value.
I like the touch screen, but at times it can be a pain. it is very sensitive, and sometimes hard to hit just the right area without the stylus. I hate the quick text feature, because it is right next to a frequently used button, and i tend to get annoyed when the quick text option adds in unwanted text. I just recently was able to get it to play youtube videos, because it would previously say "unsupported video file", so that is a plus. I like that if i wanted, I could watch movies or play music, but I don't really use these features. I love and frequently use the navigator ap, and always use the chat feature for text messaging, because it allows me to read back into the conversation, without exiting out. i like that i can set it to alarm only, so that when i am sleeping I don't get woke up with text messages or calls, but i have noticed with this feature that if there is a text on the screen it doesnt allow the alarm to go off, so I have been late for work before.
I admit it freely here; when my friend began talking about upgrading our cell phones to a "smartphone" that would "do it all", I was leery, both of how much the unit was going to cost, and how little it would most probably end up doing for me for that increased cost. But Samsung, always a reliable and innovative provider of wonderful electronics, has once again proven to me that they can always meet and exceed expectations of even the worst skeptics. This phone's features are easy to learn how to use - and for someone who couldn't figure out how to text when she first got a cellphone capable of doing so, that's a plus right there! - and the screen is easy to customise just the wa...
Read the complete reviewThis was the first touch I owned and I do really like it. At first the screen was a little to sensitive but that was quickly fix by using the calibration. The phone is easy to naviagate and find everything you need. It is fairly fast at pulling things up. Mine has been dropped several times and still works. Sadly since the day I bought it there has been a problem with it freezing up and me having to turn it off and back on.This is not a major deal breaker for me and may just be a malfunction in my phone. The battery does die quickly if using the internet or mp3 player. Its size is good. It is lieghtweight and easyto fit in pockets and cell phone holders on purses and bags. This phones ...
Read the complete reviewAfter reading a lot of mixed and negative reviews, I decided to try this phone anyway. It was the only one at the store that I couldn't stop playing with and I figured I had 30 days to return it if I didn't like it. All I have to say is that I LOVE this phone! The touchscreen is amazing and of course it took a little getting used to, but now that I am, I cannot use my husbands regular phone. The response time is awesome and I love the internet and email features. It pulls up my yahoo and facebook without having to retype my passwords or account information all the time. The screen and picture is amazing. I am definitely glad I made this purchase.&nbs...
Read the complete reviewThis is a very good phone, packed with features that you would expect from a larger phone/carrier and the monthly plan price is so much lower than comparable plans, you couldn't go wrong.
Last year I had to give up my crackberry (Blackberry) and was lost without it. I didn't want to enter into a new contract with a big carrier so I decided to go with Pay-As-You-Go, but the phone and features were lacking. This year MetroPCS came to our area and I noticed that the Finesse was just being introduced. I needed a phone with a Web Browser (HTML pref) and Email capabilities and this phone seemed to fit the bill. What I didn't expect was how extensive these features were.

Read the complete reviewI love this phone. I think of it as my iphone with out the cost,lol.
This phone is lightweight and easy to use. I like how it locks by itself so I dont accidently call someone I didnt mean to. This phone has great widgets. It comes programmed with facebook, lonely planet,, pictas, voice recorder, flickr, twitter, draw pad, and you can add others like myspace and etc... I really like the camera and camcorder, you can send pictures straight to myspace or facebook.On this phone you can download real ringtones. I also like how you can add a micro sd card and have more storage space. I have the straight talk service plan it is forty five dollars a month for unlimited talk text and media, I LOVE ...
Read the complete reviewI am always pressing numbers or buttons on my phone and sometimes i forget to lock it and there i go calling someone and i don't even know. well with this phone when you are done using it it automatically locks itself so you won;t be calling anyone or pushing numbers and acidentlly call 911. Another great feature on this phone is that it has gps and it is right on where you want to go and how to get there. So i would recommend this phone and it is the latest technology so if you are one of those that wants the newest here you go!
