Well i just got this phone today and it is really good,
the camara is really great, everything loads fast, only probelm i have
is that the keyboard buttons are a little stiff, and i cant seem
to figure out if it has video recording on it or not?
And to the guy above asking how to do the question mark fast, just
pres “fn” next to the space bar and then press the “L” key and then press
“fn” again…. Not super fast but its faster than what you were doing…
I used to REALLY want this phone! But then ppl started talking about how much it sucks They say that it can’t send texts rite, the screen frezzes up, an it ugly! Wil sumone puh-leezze help me out here? I don’t know if I should stll get it or not…

well, i got this phone on the 16th since it was a birthday present from my dad and i have a problem… i need a memory card lol. do you know where i could get a memory card? btw, i loooove this phone! if something bad happens to it i would go crazy! and its the red one that i got lol =D
i have the phone ;]
this fone is expensive, but idk if its worth it! It lukz rly nice nd all, but im still debating on if to get it or not! If anyone has it, plz plz EMAIL ME ASAP with info on this phone!
Well the phone is great. I’ve had this phone for a month now! The pictures come’s out really great. And no it doesn’t have video rec. But You can download music, video’s, picture’s and etc. You can buy the memory card at walmart, target, somewhere like that. So far this phone is the bomb!!
i have had this phone since september and its the best phone i could have ever bought. ive dropped it a million times and it still works fine and there is hardly any marks on it. all features work great…but i still havent bought a mem card yet. also…it should take a 4gb mem card instead of the noted 2gb max. ive tried it and it works…so play around a bit. have fun with it guys/gals…its made my text life a million times better. peace.
I just got this phone, and I went out of town to Florida.
It was working fine, but now whenever I try to send texts, it says “Sending failed. Retry.” or something like that.
And I can only call certain people on my contacts list…
Anyone know what’s going on?
will someone please tell me how to put music on this phone????????
BRIAN: for music….u need a memory card…micro sd style.
CONNIE: happened to me out of town too. try going to phone settings…then system select…then change to automatic…it picks up carriers around ur area. change back to metropcs when u r at home. u still may not be able to use internet or picture mail but u should be able to text and call just fine.
i got this phone 1/24. i L-O-V-E it!!! the only thing is i dont know how to get to the IM
i got this phone a while ago and i still cant get the music to load onto the phone
i qot this phone on christmas and it’s amazinq ! for the IM, you have to qo to @metro and there should be a link for IM, email, and Loopt . everythinq is free because it comes with the phone. IM is amazinq, but you can only use AIM or Windows Messenqer. and the email is only for Gmail and AOL. Metro411 comes in handy as well. but i’m still tryinq to fiqure out how to put music on the music player. any help ?
[by the way, i already have the microSD card]
can you set ringtones as your
text thinger when you get a text?
I don’t know if I should buy this phone. Is it really that good to spend that much money on it? Does putting music on the phone have to be on the Internet. Does music come with it???
DONT BUY THIS PHONE!!! Its not worth $200. I had this phone for a couple of months and its bull****…. I dont know why i bought another samsung phone.. i first had a samsung a840, it malfunctioned on me. It kept turning off and on by itself. I had a one year warranty on it, metro replaced the phone for the same exact one and a month after the warranty ended, the replacement phone malfunctioned too and wouldn’t even turn on!! They then refused to replace it so i bought me the messenger and GUESS WHAT?? Piece of **** is malfunctioning too. Like what someone stated below, the phone WONT take the memory card. I didnt have trouble with it until i took the card out one day to download more songs and when i put it back in the phone shuts off. Now i cant even put the memory card in at all!!! Like my other samsung phone before, it also turns off and on by itself. I think samsung phones are crap, they will eventually malfunction, i recommend NOT to buy this phone or any samsung phones at all!!! Im planning to sell this phone and buy me a non-samsung phone soon…
I D0NT KN0E IF I SH0ULD GET THHZ PH0NE…H0W W0ULD I D0WNLOAD MUSIC T0 IT??
This phone is crap. I recently had it. Then got at&t. I bought the samsung propel. Buy it… IT’S AMAZING.
i dont know whether i should get this phone or not my piece of crap motorolla phone the brand new one that slides up and it cost about 300$ is not working i suggest every one stays away from that phone but any ways im about to get a new and im thinking about getting the new red samsung messenger but i dnt know some people say it sucks but i dnt know what to do some body please give me some information on this phone before i buy it nd is it still 200$ or alil lower now plz HELP ME! if you have answers for me hit me up on my yahoo.
oh yeah my yahoo is illestchick01@yahoo.com
Well I purchased the phone on Feb 13, 2009 it is Feb 25, 2009 and the battery has burned out for no reason. I paid 215.00 my rec. says 50.00 I don’t think anyone should waste that much money on a phone from Metro simply because they sell phones with issues! Metro is not a good source for phones and you should not spend that much money on purchasing a phone from them!
wow i just like love this phone the only bad thing is that i had to pay for it (my dad wouldnt0
Hey we all must keep in mind that these Phones are man made an can be faulty. I’ll say this Phone’s kept me busy. this is far the best phone they sell dont get mad at them they dont make the thing, get a Kyocera and you’ll no what hell’s like they let you down load from funformobil.com and you think your on, then guess what; the phone simply crap! For ya’ll go spend the lil money for your card and adapter use itune’s drag and drop my phone has just been great my crazy Girl friend went out an got the phone an hey i wont lie i just had to run out and get it. I’ll say if you dont like Metro then their’s other phone company’s that would love to have you and over charge you and jack you up.
Oh also as i’ve stated dont hate Metro Samsung has built there Phone’s with a Phone
Blocker for us that understand the PC World. Hey dont gett me wrong I truly hate Metro for their Customer Service suck’s but Hell what do you expect for $35 $40 $45 $50 a month when you’er getting Unlimited calls, this is based on the plan you chose.
lovin’ my samsung messenger.. gr8 tunes.. awesome text.. camera is nice too. Only issue.. I can’t keep my 2 teenagers off it long enuff to enjoy it! My girls download the music to the card just like they download to their mp3 players. USB card reader or your USB cable is all you need.
HEllo I just got my phone in the mail, I was a previous Blackberry user and this phone looks like it will kick ass. I had an old samsung slider and loved it.
Can someone tell me if I can transfer my ringtones, music and contacts from my old mini SD Card? I inserted and it reads there is stuff on there but no pics or music. Please help, I don’t want to retype all my contacts.
Thanks!
I REALLY WANT TO BUY THIS FONE BUT ALL I WANT TO KNO IS IT WORTH THE $200 SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT ITS WORTH IT.. SOME SAY THAT ITS NOT.. BUT THE MAIN QUESTION IS HOW IS THE CAMERA.. BECAUSE I HAD THE RUMOR SPRINT FONE AND THE CAMERA IS SUCKY… I JUST WANT TO KNO IS THE CAMERA CRYSTAL CLEAR??
@alex
In order to get your music/ringtones/images working you have to allocate them to the right folder. If you can, open up the memory card from a computer and transfer all the files into the corresponding folders. The folders should be called My_ringtones, My_music, My_images. If they aren’t on there either load up the card on the Messeger and then open up the card on the computer again or make the folders yourself, making sure they are called exactly: my_images, my_ringtones, my_music (Include the underscore)
@cocopuffs
This has happened to me before and it has nothing to do with the phone itself but rather then the songs. Chances are you downloaded a song that’s making the phone freeze and turn off, and the only way to fix I think is to remove the song itself. I recall downloading a song before and by the time I loaded it up on the phone, the phone shut itself off and froze. I took out the memory card to see what was wrong and the second I did take it out it started working again. So I decided to wipe my card clean and see if it worked and it did. I figured the phone itself was just acting buggy so I decided to load all the songs back on the card and the same thing happened. Eventually I decided that it was a song that was causing this. I removed the song I had previously downloaded and it was finally working again.
this phone is good and its easy to get music just go to myxer.com the ringtones r freeeee
yea i got dis fone yesterday it is perfect good perfect pics i dont wanna return it but ders a pob i send texts but 1 time it took 5 min and said an error i tink plz help
My husband bought the phone for me back in November and it worked perfectly till last weekend and now it won’t even turn on . When I plug up the charger it doesn’t charge. It’s a piece of *#!^. I am so piss#$ about this. Metro will not stand behind the warrenty and Samsung wants me to ship it to them then wait 4 to 7 days for a diagnosis then they will let me know if it is covered under the warrenty or not. DON’T BUY THIS PHONE. It’s not worth the hassle.
