[joshe1228]

[zlee415]

[babyely09]

[zlee415]

[hugosanchez0]

@CaseyNortonBMX i do plezz



[zlee415]

@lTheDonCocanel the craft? idk what your talking about, but I have the Droid X now.

[IcyFreezeballs4]

Which one is better choice this or the blackberry curve. Obviously some people willsay blackberry becuz it's a blackbery but I want to know exactly why its a better choice like I like to text n I got som go phone that looks like a blackberry but yeah same put look an I'm a fast texture with it but idk I feel like I don't need a blackberry n that I'll prob end up having one an using it enough in the future when im older n got sum business use for it but still let me know message me please or if

[mrchurro75]

my friend gots caliber and it sucks nuts if u try to use youtube -.- other than that phone ok wouldnt recommend it tho

[PandaLord74]

how many metro pcs phones actualy have internet (meaning you can use youtube and stuff) would u say?

[zlee415]

@PandaLord74 I really don't, nor do I care to know. To sum metro up it pretty much sucks which ever phone you have. The only way I was ever satisfied when I had metro was when I had the best phone out. 

[Torichforu13]

@PandaLord74 there is about 4 phones that can play youtube and do videos and three that just do videos

[PandaLord74]

@Torichforu13 which 4 can use youtube?

[Torichforu13]

@PandaLord74 the samsung craft,samsung caliber,samsung code, and the blackberry curve

[PandaLord74]

@Torichforu13 hmm... which wud u say is the best of them?

[Torichforu13]

@PandaLord74 probably the blackberry

[shinyLucario36]

@PandaLord74 only 1 which is the samsung ode it has windows mobile 61 my vote for best metro pcs phone

[ANGELinFortWorth]

"If you open it on this side shits gonna fall out."

hahha

[wrathof]

By any chance do u know if you can change that horrible green background on the "Menu" screen. I just really hate that color....

[zlee415]

@wrathof Sorry, your not able too.

[abcdemon120]

can you download ebuddy on the caliber

[zlee415]

@abcdemon120 I have no idea what that is. I would try, and download it but I sold the phone so I can't.

[Sincerelyqorqeous]

@zlee415 Does the Caliber screen scratch easily? Also, If you add pictures to your microSD card, if you insert it into your cellphone, will the pictures show on the phone?

[BLiXDoPeSTaRR]

Did it come with a memory card & case? Also does it have slow reaction time?

[zlee415]

@BLiXDoPeSTaRR Nope, the card was like 20 bucks, and the case was like 15 bucks.

[bellajan23]

where did u get the clear class from

[zlee415]

@bellajan23 from the store..

[urlovex]

is The Flash like a SideKick lx Flash??

[zlee415]

@urlovex I don't know what a sidekick lx flash is like, but its not a dual flash if thats what you mean.

[S3XiB0i]

my contacts are off the sudden gone, is there any way i can get them bak????

i dont have the metroback up

[zlee415]

@S3XiB0i Turn your phone off, and then back on that worked for me.

[S3XiB0i]

@zlee415 thanx but i put them in again.. but do u kno how to change the location on the weather accu widget, i tried everything it wud not work.

[zlee415]

@S3XiB0i You should just be able to change it in the settings.

[Niccoya103]

hahha "if you open it on the other side, shit's gonna fall out" xD funny lol.

[dieselmeup]

can you change the color of the menu?

[zlee415]

@dieselmeup Nope, but I like green so i didnt mind it.

[999uchiha]

how do i dl the NPS to dl stuff like mp3 and mp4....

[zlee415]

@999uchiha Well I downloaded that samsung thing which is used to upload files to your phone, but It never worked properly for me so what you can do is. Plug your phone into the computers usb port using the phones charger-click start-click computer-you should beside like your dvd driver your phone(it may say unidentified device) Click that and it will bring up a window with files like video,picture, etc. click on the music file- click on the song, drag, and drop it in the music file. there you go

[PrintcessPeach]

Would u recommend me getting this phone, or should I jus wait for the

samsung craft?

[zlee415]

@PrintcessPeach I don't know what the samsung craft is, nor have I used it. But from my experience with the caliber I would say if your looking for a more simple touchscreen then others like the iphone, or the droid x. It's definetly a good choice, but the craft could be better. Just research the craft, and compare it to the caliber. If I find some time, i'll do a little research aswell.

[510Dru]

still looks like a metro piece of shit

[zlee415]

@510Dru Oh really, what kind of phone are you pleasing our presence with?

[linzi995]

does this phone have apps? like iphones?

[zlee415]

@linzi995 Not really, its from metropcs, and if you have service with them its only going to have metropcs apps.

[flyykiidx]

does this phone have app market ? im looking for a prepaid smart phone with an app market preferably touchscreen ! someone helpppp me  ! lol

[zlee415]

@flyykiidx Well metropcs provides there market with this phone. Which is just a few things like ringtone downloads, little games, pictures, etc, but its not like the android market. It is a nice touch screen for only $250.

[djtokio24]

its like looking at a fancy samsung finesse

[zlee415]

@djtokio24 Thats all it is.

[EscapeMyPants]

The headphones port is a 3.5 Jack.

[zlee415]

@EscapeMyPants Yeah, i know. I didnt know the exact size at the time, but i knew everyone would understand me when I said ipod headphones.

[21mama]

ya metro has already delevired dat android phone its in dallas and las vegas my friend has it ta a 4g phone with real apps lol and u can watch tv on it ass well

cist 350

[zlee415]

@21mama im pretty sure the android phone is the droid 1 flashed to metropcs. Thats the only android for metro ive seen, because they dont have one on their website.

[zlee415]

For metropcs its only the games that they provide in their marketplace.

[divagril1995]

hi what kind of games do they have

[zlee415]

@divagril1995 For metropcs its only the games that they provide in their marketplace.

[sk8ordie1998624]

Have you heard that metro pcs is coming out with a touch screen phone with a qwerty slideout keyboard around christmas? Also it has the Android market for apps. My neighbor works for Metro and told me about it

[zlee415]

@sk8ordie1998624 Well I switched to verizon, and currently have the android market with the droid x. I seriously doubt that metro is getting an actual smart phone, because their "smart phone" arent really smart phones, but I could be wrong and they could be getting a really nice android phone.

[zlee415]

@TupacShakurfan4ever I think it can record up to 10 minutes at a time.

[wuutisup]

do u think the samsung finesse is worth $250?

[zlee415]

@wuutisup well for only $250 your getting the phone without a contract or anything. So you should be able to use it for any company. So considering my verizon phone was $200 with a contract. I'd say it is worth the money. I've got the droid x now :D

[ALLMUSICVIDEOS123]

Do you have to use the stylus

[TJacksonQB10]

@ALLMUSICVIDEOS123 NO you can use your fingers.

[stargurlbecca02]

Hey I got that Same exact phone and Thanks for posting up this video it really helps alot :), but one thing i don't understand about this phone is i insert an "SD" card

into it and every time i tried to put music into my phone it always stated "please insert an card" like wats up with dat?

[zlee415]

@stargurlbecca02 I dont know, i've never had that problem. Maybe the card your using isnt compatible with the phone, or your phone could just be malfunctioning.

[zamusicza]

@stargurlbecca02 Is it a brand new SD card? If not that could be the problem. You need a brand new card. With nothing else running and the phone on, not hooked up to the computer, insert a new card and give the phone time to format the card.

[kingluis1995]

for how much u brough this phone.....can u see videos on youtube.com on this phone...?

...?

[zlee415]

@kingluis1995 yes, but depending on which company your with if the signal for internet is very strong the quality of the video sucks. Thats with metropcs now there are other companies out there like metropcs that have awesome internet connections, and allow you to play videos at very nice qualities.

[kingluis1995]

for how much u brough this phone

...?

[zlee415]

@kingluis1995 I bought it brand new for $250, and then sold it used for $162.

[Czubaruk]

ahahahahha, make sure u open up on the the samsung side or shits gnna fall out, love this guy haha

[ojcavs45]

hey i got this phone and it keeps turning off and on is it screwed up or something

[zlee415]

@ojcavs45 Well that never happened to me while I had the phone so yes I would think so. If your still under warranty, or if you have insurance you should get it replaced.

[ojcavs45]

@zlee415 ok thank you

[TheDefjams]

@ojcavs45 WELL SHIT FUCK THAT I AINT GETTIN IT

[ojcavs45]

@TheDefjams i found out what was wrong with it and it works perfctly fine now

[ZombiezEatRainbowz]

[chris00566]

how will u sell it for cuz i got 180

[zlee415]

@chris00566 Everyone interested in the phone. Either subscribe to me, and wait for a bulletin giving you the link to my phone. Or just keep checking back here. I will post a link to the bid on my phone. I'm not trusting any internet selling besides ebay. All you need is an ebay account, and a paypal account.

[zlee415]

@chris00566 The phone is now on ebay, just click the link in the description box on the video.

[safiromcm1]

so whats the difference between this phone and the finesse ?

[sortmasivci]

lol the headphone jack is 3.5mm not 2.5mm. Looked like u were having a bit trouble there lol

[kdbtbp]

does this phone delete contacts when it is dead or cut off ??

[zlee415]

@kdbtbp no, i've had it once where the phone got cut off, and all my contacts turned to my voicemail number. All i did was turn it off again, and back on. The problem was then solved, and its never happened since then.

[lamonu16ca]

this phone sucks this is the

5 time in the month that my contacts erase

either because my battery died or i try putting something and it

just restarts it really sucks!!

[zlee415]

@lamonu16ca Go back to metro, apparently you have a malfunctioning phone. Spend less time on the internet talking about it, and get your refund. Meanwhile I will be enjoying my non-malfunctioning phone.

[Pallkook]

let me get the link ..im thinking about buying it!!

[zlee415]

@Pallkook Everyone interested in the phone. Either subscribe to me, and wait for a bulletin giving you the link to my phone. Or just keep checking back here. I will post a link to the bid on my phone. I'm not trusting any internet selling besides ebay. All you need is an ebay account, and a paypal account.

[zlee415]

@Pallkook The phone is now on ebay, just click the link in the description box on the video.

[dicnamz]

@zlee415 Hey, Can you change the main menu color which is GREEN to BLUE????

[Daikkenaurora]

Can you use the usb to charge the phone by plugging it into the computer?

[zlee415]

@Daikkenaurora I think so.

[tocoollucy]

where are the games?

[zlee415]

@tocoollucy you've got to buy them from @metro

[CuXeSama]

can u get the $40 plan to work wtih this phone??

[zlee415]

@CuXeSama Nope, its considered a smartphone so you have to get the smartphone plan, and theres only one of those which is just $50 a month.

[roddy20062006]

get i live in Florida. I want to buy your Phone. email me at roddy2006@hotmail.com

[zlee415]

@roddy20062006 Everyone interested in the phone. Either subscribe to me, and wait for a bulletin giving you the link to my phone. Or just keep checking back here. I will post a link to the bid on my phone. I'm not trusting any internet selling besides ebay. All you need is an ebay account, and a paypal account.

[freakylocz14]

@zlee415 Amazon is better than EBay imo. It has less fees for sellers.

[zlee415]

@freakylocz14 What fees are you talking about? I sold my old ps2 on their the bid got to $70, and I got $70. There's shipping which you can help pay for, or let the buyer pay for completely.

[freakylocz14]

@zlee415 Insertion fees and Final Value fees

[zlee415]

@roddy20062006 The phone is now on ebay, just click the link in the description box on the video.

[zlee415]

@leshaebratz19 I'm going to put it on ebay. This phone used in good condition is selling on ebay for between $150-$200. So it just depends on who gets the highest bid.

[warchief337]

ok sweet man thanks ima get this phone then :) awesome

[warchief337]

Can it play music while doing other things?

[zlee415]

@warchief337 Yes, certain things stop it though. If you get on the internet the music stops, and if you do something that makes a sound. ie: take a picture. The music goes off until the sound stops, but you can text while listening to music, and use widgets.

[marie2493]

[zlee415]

@marie2493 I live in georgia. i'm using ebay so if your interested i'll give you the link to the phone when I put it up for sale.

[TheYOUNGKHEEN]

SHIT NICE

[JONEEZYYY]

blackberry or this??

[zlee415]

@JONEEZYYY My step-dad has had 3 different blackberry's, and they all sucked. My phone has out lasted all three of them. So this.

[JONEEZYYY]

@zlee415 rilly??? cuz i see dis phone don't play youtube videos.. i think blackberry is a better one.

[zlee415]

@JONEEZYYY well thats really the only downside to the phone. Yet the blackberry has multiple problems.

[r1ckyjordan]

@JONEEZYYY Yes it does, i have it and it plays Youtube videos

[zlee415]

@r1ckyjordan Yeah, I realized this week I was not at the youtube mobile site which is why I couldnt watch videos, but the phone still doesnt play youtube video well. So it's pretty much like it doesnt play them at all. Last time I tried to play a video it kept saying "Network connection lost". But I had 4 bars connection.

[SalvadorRamos1995]

how much did it cost??????? :)

[zlee415]

@SalvadorRamos1995 about $310, because i bought a phone cover at the same time which was $20.

[valenciax9]

is this the only samsung touchscreen that metro has?

[zlee415]

@valenciax9 Yes, they had the samsung finesse, but they stopped making it.

[jmk0309]

Excellent review. Can you upload videos to Facebook and Youtube straight from the phone? And can you you upload pictures straight to Facebook? One other thing I was wondering is if you can use MP3's as ring tones? If you could answer some of these questions it would be greatly appreciated! =-)

[zlee415]

@jmk0309 I havent tried uploading videos to facebook, but you can do videos to youtube. I havent tried photos to facebook, but im sure you can. Yes, you can use any sound, or song as a ringtone. you can also use recordings.

[urlovex]
