The Finesse will be identical to the Delve model offered on Alltel right down to offering the Mission Impossible trilogy on a bundled microSD card with the Limited Edition version of the phone when it is expected to launch on April 6 for $349.99. The Motorola Evoke QA4 touchscreen slider is expected to launch in May for $299.99 and the QA30 Hint is expected to launch on the same day as the Finesse for $249.99.
The Hint and Evoke will feature tri-band CDMA network access for Legacy and new AWS CDMA market sales, while the Finesse is expected to be sold only in Legacy markets similar to the Curve.
Update: Various sources within MetroPCS have confirmed to PhoneNews.com that the Samsung Finesse will be a tri-band CDMA unit that will be sold in both AWS and Legacy CDMA markets, with the complete launch set for April 6th.
The Motorola Hint sucks do not buy. I have been tring to download ringtones for about 3 months now. I go to the link to download it and all you see is a dumb sound logo playing the ringtone. If you go to options their is not a place to save the ringtone. Anyone know how to fix this problem let me know thanks. and do buy this phone
how do u watch you tube on the hint…..any1?
Just so everyone knows, as an experienced Fin(esse) user, I can sort of tell that MPCS has placed specific restrictions on the included browsers and OS’s. This means that you may never get the ringtones, wallpapers, or features you want using the methods you’re currently using.
To get ringtones on the Fin, the community I’m with has developed more than 3 methods to get them there. I’m sure it’s just as possible with the Hint if you’re just willing to work on it in your spare time.
I just got the finesse 2 days ago. I can’t go on craigslist. I can’t watch any other videos than the ones I film with the built in camcorder. “Full HTML Web Browser” is a loosely used term with this phone. I used to have 2 t-mobile smartphones. The MDA and the HTC Dash and I could view videos and youtube, search craigslist, etc. What’s up with my metro pcs finesse. Overpromise and underdeliver? I’m considering taking mine back for a less expensive phone that is gps capable. Shame on you metro pcs.
i have the finesse phone and i would like to know what site i can go on to get free games and how do i download movies to the phone is there anybody out there that can help thanks
I figured out that I must put the video files in the “video” folder. Now I’m able to watch videos that I convert and download to the memory card. I still can’t download any videos or video games yet. I have been able to get free ringtones at funformobile.com, but that’s about it. The t-mobile smartphones I’ve had in the past have been able to view youtube videos and more. The finesse is limited in its functionality. I hope its just a software issue that some computer wiz will help us with. And what’s up with not being able to get on craigslist???? WTF???
heyy peopleee. AND MY SAMSUNG PHONE CAN DOWNLOAD FREE RINGTONES(;
if you want ringtones. First you have to have a memory card. Then you can download a program called AVS audio converter. This program allows you to make your own custom ringtones.
Okay, NOTICE TO ALL HINT USERS WHO WANT RINGTONES.
The key is you have to download the ringtones to a computer and send them to the phone as a mms.
Or have a friend send them to you in mms messages.
It’s the ONLY way to get use of free ringtones if you don’t want to get or use a SD card.
Which for me is fine, but i know some ppl might complain because our society has become full of lazy a** rush rush people who expect their electronics to jump a thousand miles, when they ask it to…..like their godly creatures from heaven or something. o_O
But if you want free ringtones, you’ll do it.
It took me all of 8 minutes or so to get like 10 on my phone.
I download a ringtone clip from mobiles24, save em to my pc, then pop on my gmail account, and email them to myself! 😀
A few things i’ve noticed about doing this though……you can’t send more then one in a message….
AND if the file is too big, like 270kb+, it wont work.
But in reality, almost all ringtones aren’t that big. =D
I’m so happy i found a way to do it though, i was about ready to punch someone. 😛
but i got an awesome brand new san disk 8gig SD card on amazon for 10 bucks. WOOOOO amazon!!!!
so yea…i can do it on my SD card now too if i want! 🙂
Anyone who is using a Motorola Hint, go to http://www.zedge.net. You will have to have a SD card. Search for the ringtone you want and then download it to the computer, I saved mine into a folder I made called Hint Ringtones. Then stick your SD card into your computer, open up the SD card folder. Then you’ll want to open up the Hint Ringtones folder (or whatever folder you saved the downloaded content into). Cut/Copy the downloaded content and paste it into the SD card folder called My_Sounds. Put your SD card back into your phone and then go to Ringtones and Sounds. You’ll have to move the content to your phone before you can set it as a ringtone.
I have the hint and the evoke and I Iove then both!!!!!

funformobile.com—works!
myxer.com from ur pc—-works!
m.myxer.com from ur phone—-works!
i love my finesse i just wish i could get games for it without having to pay for it at @metro
i have a metro finesse and i can not download videos is there anyone out there that can help me and you are supposed to be able to put movies on your memory card i need help bad !!!!!!!!!!
i bought the Evoke and it is the biggest disappointment I have ever had with cellphones and most other products as well. With no mms, sideloaded contact ringers, calendar backup, or speed dial, it lacks features of their prior money. It costs too much and if your service is with Cricket, adds $15.00 a month more to your bill. Not a good value at all. Most buyers feel the same way I do!
Sorry, too upset to type. That should have been “prior models”
THANK YOU SO MUCH Fujiko FOR THE POSTING ON JUNE 11TH 2009
I just got this phone and had encountetred the same problem as you until stumbling upon your post ! love you !!!

rick, there has been a little success in getting movies directly to the Finesse, there’s some discussion about it at my URL on the forums.
There is a new smartphone coming out soon for metropcs…it is the Samsung Code…sch-I 220, very cool looking….check it out on phonearena.com
this phone suckes really badly turns off out of no where and slow when using the key board
***ATTENTION HINT USERS***
There’s an easier way to get ringtones than saving it to your computer Blah blah blah.
I went to http://www.funformobile.com on my computer and found a ringtone i liked and got the wapcode. Then I went to their wapsite on my phone, I then punched in the “wap code” for said ringtone and when it downloaded, hit the options key on my phone went to save items (#6) and there it was for downloading. not all of them worked but most did
I ran across a few that said “there were no items to save” but then I just sent it to my buddy and had em SMS or bluetooth it to me.
Still working on APPS for the phone… actually that’s why I’m here but no help.
I’ll figure it out eventually.
I want to make ringtones for my samsung exclaim using my sd card, I dont have internet on my phone
Just so you guys know…there’s a simple $10 program that’s called Ring Factory, which makes unlimited ringtones for your phone. I used it on my HTC and put it on my mini sd card…worked like a charm. I just uploaded my favorite song, clipped the song from wherever in the song I wanted (eg. I wanted a specific clip of Fergie’s Glamourous about 1 minute into the song) and voila, INSTANT RING TONES!!! Beats paying full price or monthly fees. I think I bought it from Target or Best Buy.
Oh yeah…I’ve used it creatively for Muvee autoProducer to put exactly what clips of music I wanted. I made a Christmas gift for my mom using this program as part of my project (Ring Factory).
You can also SMS as well as save to computer.
Good luck everyone!!
I can get on CRAIGSLIST….you have to google craigslist from your phone and then click the link. When u get there save it as a favorite, i found that out for a lot of the sites that you cant load.
On the samsung finesse how can you move ringtones from my ringtones to my sounds to be able to send them?????
how do you delete the pre downloaded mission impoosible movies
I’VE BEEN WITH METRO PCS FOR ABOUT A YEAR. JUST PURCHASED SAMSUNG FINESSE. SHORTLY AFTER I DISCOVERED THAT NOT ONLY THAT I COULDN’T DOWNLOAD THIRD PARTY APPS, BUT OUT OF ALL THINGS, I CAN’T WATCH YOUTUBE ON THIS PHONE. THIS IS CRAZY! YOU CAN’T VIEW YOUTUBE ON THIS PHONE?? IT’S LIKE GETTING A PAPER CUT TO THE BACK OF A FINGER. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. METRO NEEDS COFFEE AND WAKE UP.
I agree with Ruben. MetroPCS and Samsung should have re-thought their decision before releasing the Finesse. As Ruben put it, it’s obvious that Samsung and MetroPCS should have allowed third-party apps into their phone. This is really messed up!
You would think after the iPhone was released cellular coverages (mainly Metro) would at least be smart enough to allow third-party. I have used the Finesse and it was a horrible experiance. What’s the point of buying a phone when you can’t run third-party??
Yes, I acknowledge the advantage of a touch screen mobile device, however the Finesse represents a failure device. You would think Samsung would have already thought of this before releasing that phone. I will recommend to you this, go for the Samsung Code! Same price, Windows Mobile, Third-party.
I have just purchased a Hauwei m750 phone and want to download mp3s to it. When I plug it into my usb port, it tells me that I need to install the driver disk. I never received a disk with this phone and don’t understand what to do. If anybody knows where to get the software or download needed for my pc/dumbphone, PLEASE HELP…
MOTOROLA EVOKE…..
worst buy ever….299.00 for no mms, trouble viewing videos , n uploading videos to youtube……and cant download ringers or anything from anywhere like funformobile…u have to buy each ringtone from them………..SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
motorola messed up big time with the baby iphone wanna look alike……………
now i want to buy just a regular flip phone that costs 100 and that can do all that ….
can anyone please tell me where I can download free games for my samsung finnesse?
For all who don’t know where to download videos or ringtones from you can try Myxer.com I got alot of videos from there and also ringtones
That’s the issue Ana; there is no way to download free games or applications into the Finesse. Samsung has decided to follow MetroPCS in proprietary software. That means that MetroPCS restricts Samsung Finesse users to download third-party software so that the Finesse user only downloads from the @metro store and limited to buy the applications and games offered in the store.
No third-party apps which means your limited.
Hey, I’ve had my motorola qa30 phone with MetroPcs service for about 9 months now and I love it! One problem I wanna know is I used to be able to set sounds as my alert tone, Now when I try to set sounds as alert ringtones it says its unable I just wonder what could be wrong now? Any help or suggestions would be great! thanks
Heeeeellllp! Please! OK I was ready to buy Metro PCS (my carrier, yes I am cheap) Finesse this past weekend and they took them off the shelves (or a least in Dallas, TX they did). I see that a new one is coming out but before I pay 300.00 for a phone, I want to make sure I know how to use it…any hints on a place I can learn about the new one? And will this one allow 3rd party apps? Will they offer any rebates?
Any and all assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
Diana
To Diana…i also heard that metropcs is also coming out with another touch screen and that is why they took off the shelves the finese, but i have no idea which phone it is going to be…one of the first sites that normally announce new phones is phonearena.com, that is how sometimes i find out about new phones…
does metro pcs fix samsung finesse or do u have to send it straight to samsung corp?i bought it from metro pcs, but the last time i dropped my phone,the screens never appeared again.but it still works fine.i just don’t know which is which and whom is calling.screen is a total blank.i called metro store and the guy said that they don’t fix phones…weired!!
IS there any way or any where i could take or send my phone to be fixed?i’ve only had my phone for 4 months now…
thanx
