[LindsayAlexa88]

Metro PCS has some pretty nice phones lined up right now but I'm totally satisfied with my Nokia E71 smartphone from Straight Talk. I was considering switching to MetroPCS but then realized the Straight Talk network runs on both ATT and Verizon's networks so none of my calls ever get dropped. I'm only paying 45 bucks a month for the unlimited plan and can switch to the "all you need" plan whenever I want so it's also really flexible.

[SuperShawnbell]

@leshaebratz19 No It's Not !

[uchiha7201]

hey is the 45 dollar plan available for the finesse?

[605960591]

@uchiha7201 yes it is i think so i have the caliber and i pay 45 also and it is awesome internet everything even youtube which isnt available for that plan only the 50 dollar plan

[lameaneyes707]

i have Samsung Finesse and i like it :")

[SuperShawnbell]

[certifiedsoiceygang]

[vanas313]

do they have the same battery? and @sincerelyquotes limewire has been shutdown

[Sincerelyqorqeous]

Music:have a Memory card! 1) download limewire if u haven't already (may contain viruses) 2) Type a song or artist in the search box,then double click the song it will automatically download 3)Right click the song when it is dne downloading and select locate on disk 4rm there a box will appear click the song n right click send to(make sure u have a usb cord connected 2 ur phne and it should say removable then a letter or whtever ur phone is under click it) then it will send it to ur media player

[pcbarter]

Metro is ok until you have a problem.

They were VERY RUDE once I had a phone issue.

Switched to Virgin Mobile, so far so good.

1200mins unlimited,internet,text and im for $40

and the LG rumor touch at Radio Shack for $130.00

VM is also on sprint network so much better coverage!

[MsOsabear]

@pcbarter That doesn't have anything to do with Metro, just the customer service at that particular Metro carrier. The Metro carrier I use the people there are very friendly and have helped me with any and all problems I had with my phones/service.

[certifiedsoiceygang]

@pcbarter Do You Know How Many Metro Stores There Are You Probably Were At The Ghetto One XD. But Where Did The Minutes Come From No One Uses Minute Phones Anymore Lmfao.!

[sugawolf916]

ive had both metro and boost,boost mobile sucks metro's reception isnt the best but its better than boost mobile's

[gumdrops27]

should i sell my ipod touch to get the caliber?

[999uchiha]

how do u dl stuff to the calliber???

[twizzlerz100]

I thin k the calibers better... It has more options and more social networks. And I think thst the caliber has a better picture quality. That's probably because I have a caliber. But I've owned the finesse it's the same thing but $100 more.

[mymd11]

I have compared service from metro to boost. And metro has the worst reception. Boost works out from sprints tower therefore you'll get much better calls. I would never buy metro. Go with boost!

[MsPamkitty]

i pay, well my dad pays $25 for everything cause when they first opened metro pcs, we were like one of the first customers. now yeah it is like $50 if you want all the good stuff.

[PUSSYMONEYKUSH]

@MsPamkitty u r a liar u dumbass u wernt one of the first customers,metro opened like in 1990 your like 12 years old dumb fuk

[MsPamkitty]

@PUSSYMONEYKUSH i was talking about the store in my city "dumb fuk"

reply cause im not coming back to read it. KTHANKS! youre done =p

[MsPamkitty]

i just look 12. thanks for the complinent!(:

[PUSSYMONEYKUSH]

@MsPamkitty stfu stupid ass emo lookin fagget go cut your vains or something u queer

[ev0422]

is there a way to install a youtube widget?

[ummsNERDD]

do you have a case , because usually the samsung calibers are gray .

[seconway05]

@ummsNERDD Mine came black

[MVMusicMan]

@ummsNERDD its a case, i have this phone and looking at his i can see how its in a case.

[tracyprosalendis]

For $45 from StraightTalk I get a month of connection plus unlimited talk, text and web nationwide. That workcs out to only $1.50 per day - now this is a really good deal!

[juantheswan561]

AIRSOFTGI!!! i saw tim for a quick sec. great vid btw.

[TheHDMan159]

If I use the 40 - 45 dollars plan can I use AIM??

[stylinwiley]

@TheHDMan159 i think you have to get the 50$ and up plan for this phone.

[seconway05]

@stylinwiley yes it is a 50 and up plan, smartphone.

[Avatarblackwolf]

[bishiecake]

If you've made a custom ringtone, can you send it over the internet and use it on this phone? Can you use music from the miniSD as well?

[DaRealDjJMaC]

[lalalafudgey]

[SCOOBY117]

[blueseed6]

[mw2beastify]

[lalalafudgey]

@mw2beastify Yes you can. You can Change the finesse to qwerty keyboard when texting (:

[taniav777]

Should I get Samsung Caliber Or Samsung Finesse...My friend is selling the Caliber fro 160$ and my other friend is selling the Finesse for 95$!!! I don't know which to choose from!

[RMONTER9663]

Does the caliber have wifi?



[maxb3rry]

can you talk on a phone call and text at the same time on this phone?

[isabel7227]

@maxb3rry yes you could do that.

[Daikkenaurora]

Is that Full Internet Browsing or MetroWeb?

[SuperJuandude]

so the finesse does not have a querty keyboard? or what.

[sexyred2195]

I Have The Finesse But I Really Want The Caliber Because It's Has Waaaay More Features Than The Finesse.

[CuXeSama]

I'd go for the metropcs one... I was going to get the straight talk one but metro seems to have unlimited everything for $40 and imo the caliber looks a bit better...

[skaterboy94ful]

where is AIM on this phone?

[manuelitainc]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO SHOW US THE DETAILS OF THIS NEW PHONE. I HAVE A FINESSE AND WILL GO FOR THE CALIBER, I LIKE THE COLOR AND CAMERA IS 3.0 INSTEAD OF 2..

[webkinzHAHA]

@kennedyistanum yes u can

[NotoriousClone]

I just bought the Samsung Caliber 3 days ago, and it doesn't have the Mobile IM feature you talk about in your review. I followed your directions exactly: menu>@metro but there's no Mobile IM :( this is one of the reasons why i purchased the caliber in the first place. Also, sometimes when i try to watch a youtube clip, it says "lost connectivity" this happens too often. I'm disappointed

[candada78]

@NotoriousClone you need to download it at the widget shop

[manuelitainc]

@NotoriousClone

YOU SHOULD CALL METRO PCS DIRECTLY..

[candygirl4547]

your hands are fat lol no no just kidding



[Blueeyes106106106]

the Finesse also has a area to pick what widgets you want.

[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! =-)

[thesexxycolombians]

How much memorie does this phone has without the sd card

[chicfreak101]

i hv the caliber

[jmk0309]

I love Samsung phones! =D

[candygirl4547]

@jmk0309 ME TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marcus7922]

is it a prepaid phone

[MrWofle]

@marcus7922 metro is 40$ for unlimited everything, you cant buy minutes, its not prepaid.

[candygirl4547]

@MrWofle soooo and we care because.............

[greytheangel]

@MrWofle for most phones, for smart phones it's 50 dollars standard, and the black berry is 60.

[royalfair]

@MrWofle

and it's also 50 or more for smart fones..

[candygirl4547]

@marcus7922 nnooooooooo u cheap ass bastard

[thedarknesstelie]

Ojay so ppl r saying the utube switched from java to flashplayer is it true and u can longer watch videos ugh i knew it was to perfect tp be true some1 help

[jackiewuzhere123]

Thanks for making this video !! I wasnt sure which one so I picked the caliber !!

[HmongBleach]

Howcome my Caliber doesn't have metro IM?

[greytheangel]

@HmongBleach download it?

[flamingeskimoninja]

Thanks sooooooooo much for making this video. I was wanting either a finesse or caliber cuz I couldn't get the iPhone 4

[1201phil]

dose t has a seting u can tell you whos callin bc my old finesse did it would say incoming call from ... dose the calibor have that 

[blueseed6]

well i just heard from a person from metro that the caliber does not play youtube, i am still not sure coz if am not convice that it can play youtube vidoe

[yomamasofat87]

how is the battery life on this phone?

[VraiDiouf]

what internet connection do you get? That youtube video loaded pretty fast. Do you get EV-DO?

[mexicanmaustachio]

can u download stuff from the internet?

[123jorgeleon]

thanks man. this really helped me out because other reviews of the caliber sucked ! and i like this one. you gave more info and i need that.

[krshogg]

are you selling either of them

[ConcietedMuchXD]

So Im talking to this lady at metro pcs, and i was going to get the phone today, and im like, "can this phone watch youtube?" and she goes, "no, only the blackberry." now I know she was lying, because the code can watch youtube videos, do you think I should get the caliber anyway? I reaaaaallllyy wanna be able to watch youtube videos :[

[VraiDiouf]

@ConcietedMuchXD most sales people don't know what they are doing.

[docock2]

can u lizten 2 muzic at the same time while doin something elze like textin or on the web or takin pictures,etc.?

[cj77ba]

@docock2 yes on both

[VraiDiouf]

@docock2 as long as the media player is on the home screen then yes you can. Make sure to pull out the music player widget on the home screen then you can text while listening to music.

[VraiDiouf]

If you have ever used a Samsung Eternity from AT&T, the caliber is basically the same thing. What Metro needs to offer is mobile TV. The Caliber from US Cellular has it.

[xxAmixx144]

Basically these are the same but I like the Caliber better. I think I'll get it.

[shortstough]

- can you add

a different picture

on the samsung caliber while its on lock ?

[mzhotniz86]

lol he sounds like the dad from "Roseanne" , great vid btw

[diamond0032]

How much is this Phone ?

[713spmex]

can u lizten 2 muzic and do other thingz at the same time?

[naughtygirl160]

my finesse that broke did not have youtube, i went to the metropcs store they gave me a new one which did have youtube. i guess the older ones dont have it

[persianhobo]

Im sure someone has already asked this question, but does the caliber slide open with a keyboard aside from the touch screen keyboard?

[VraiDiouf]

@persianhobo no, it does not have a slide out keyboard, just touch screen.

[sndpapr1]

Now I watched your complete video. You didn't mention about mail@metro. I asked the girl at the metro pcs store if you can see pictures when you receive an email with pictures in the body . She said yes, but I don't trust. Can you tell me how many email accounts we can set up with the caliber and can we view pictures and maybe attachments in the body of the email?

[VraiDiouf]

@sndpapr1 You can set up 2 email accounts, and from what I have seen, you can not see pictures in e-mails.

[traciiresse]

can either the finesse or calbier store addresses and birthdays in the contacts?

[0yashamaru0Return]

my friend has the finesse and i am so jealous because it is really nice, and i only have the freeform, but I am getting the caliber hopefully, and thats only because they don't sell the finesse anymore, :/

[maggotXfest129]

im getting a new phone which should i get the caliber or the finesse. idk because i do not want to pay 50$ more for the caliber for just some small thing that are different

[LOGAN3XXX]

caliber sucks.. the best is the code it can do so many things,

[maxb3rry]

this was helpful. i think now im definitely going to get the caliber for MetroPCS now

[qwaza789]

i have a caliber and i can't get the yahoo messenger to work it always says that nt password is wrong or my user name but i know its right. what am i doing wrong . can i correct this.

[tulip2111]

@qwaza789 same problem! Did you find how to fix it!?

[megacool24]

the finesse is sleeker and wayyy cooler looking the caliber is all retarded looking...wen i first saw the finesse i cudnt even recognize it as being "GHETRO"

[feelingpower]

hello, i have a very intriguing question it is about youtube

can you only play youtube videos only in the samsung calibre?

can you also play them in the finesse?

my sister have the samsung finesse with the smart phone plan

she bought it 6 months ago an she is not able to watch youtube videos is it because she have an old plan?

or because the finesse can not do it?

thank you

your answer depends on me buying that phone!
