I am going to purchase this phone, but i want to know what all do i need when i get it so i can play right away lol! From what i have been reading i know I will need a sd card, what brad is compatible with this phone? And also should I get a Samsung Phone Sync kit for it, i mean is it something I need? And does any1 know if the 2 in 1 charger is any good? And this charger does it plug in the wall or car? Any info would be greatly apprieciated! dying to get this phone but dont want to waste my money if I cant use all the nice features.

THIS GROUP/FORUM IS THE BEST-love you all you've been extremely pleasent/helpfull. I guess cause we're all out $350+++ with a phone that is WAY sub PAR! 

The previous poster put it all in a nut shell.

I have a bit more to add. The menus, setups, functions are so un user friendly  that it's frustrating.  Another poster summed it up perfectly responding to my inquiry: "the last time I saw a phone with a 500 limit on the contacts was in 2001"

I LOVE a good bargain, and the $50 plan seemed very enticing.  But believe me when I tell you this is the first time I started to rethink the quote: "you get what you pay for"...they make you work for every penny you save.

Hey...don't expect no EvDO/3G speeds either. So far from navigating this forum nobody knows where it is or where it's coming.

Even the $$$ I just spent on the memory is $$$ down the drain. I thought I would have some new doors open up with memcard installed. Not really... unless you count a 16GB of crap MP3 player or CreditCard sized screen video player a big plus.

Guys as much as I love this forum I feel we've been screwed for $350.  I don't consider myself quite a business user, but even I can't find enough hr's in a day to put in the research to make this f***ing thing FUNCTION???

The thing is the community here has worked and successfully hacked the phone. I have a manual in the works that will go over each point to make this phone functional all the way up to iPhone competitor. The thing is, people have also complained that the r8xx class phones from Samsung so far have excluded wifi, and for what specific reason?

Anyways, the BBCurve is ok, but it suffers from a lot of things that the Fin does. No youtube either as far as I know. Also, the Curve actually has a smaller battery! The good news is that if you do get the curve, you get plenty of cool features right out of the box, including streaming radio and 3 full pages of other "nifty" apps, at least. I saw a really good video review of it.

But to as why I bought the Fin, I felt that I wanted the phone with the most potential that metro had at the time. It also fills its need extremely well in my household (gmail, myspace, massive card support, workable media players, no distracting games for now, and cell service without breaking the bank).

And better yet is there any1 in Mich. near or in the Detroit area I can just pay to hook ma dang phone up? Let me know would really be grateful!

By the way ybom....when do you think that you will have the manual out?  Will it include synching?
