is that your guess or what?!

If that's the case when they go to a 4G network, then from my understanding, the finesse isn't even 4G compatible, then we won't be getting it on the finesse.....

Unless our phones with work with 4G, just at a slower speed like 3G.

Either way, I'll believe it when I see it. (Or until we get this dam thing hacked!)

Ok so i met this really official metro guy yesterday and asked him when Finesse users were going to have youtube available... he says, "NEVER"!!! 
At first i was appalled at his brutal honesty and total disrespect of my feelings by not telling me what i wanted to hear..."perhaps next month... next season... next year....not even next decade!!!!"   
so i swallowed the bitter pill and asked him ..."why?"..
He says..."the finesse is actually an old phone and is just plain incapable of such outstounding feats such as streaming videos from youtube and the likes".
So i say..." but some people from other carriers that use the samsung finesse have reported youtube functionality on their phones."
He went on to dismiss these reports as mere rumors...
I quietly hung my head down and faced the reality that i might never see the day when this $349.00 phone (which i might add i coulda got a ps3 instead) will play the contents of youtube...
can anyone offer me a flicker of hope... or lie to me or something..ANYTHING!!!

The community is trying to work on it. The problem is we have to hack the firmware itself, which is similar to hacking Windows (well ok Windows portable). We need a massive effort to get to that point. If you hack it yourself, it is possible to develop a brew app that adds all that functionality but you're looking at $400 at very minimum for the single account. Still, how are you going to get trained in BREW code?

We're going around that method. We're tapping into disabling parts of the firmware. We actually have access to another carrier's firmware, and also another phone that appears to function similarly. We might be able to hybrid these together, or learn enough to figure out what to toggle. Things are looking good on our end, logically.

It was simple, until we found out how many layers of duct tape they put on the code to keep us out. Seriously, you put that on the inside of code and the sticky part never seems to want to come off. Grrr!

thats not true metro pcs is launching metro 3g ev do data acess when they release the blackberry in febuary 28 2010 and finesse will have youtube and blazing speed.

It is possible that by going to 4g, that 3g could be part of the package, just like I was surprised the first time I found out DVD players typically played CDs too. Now everyone know that. This could be a similar situation (and also give 3 tiers of phone connection types which would be a great marketing strategy).

  YOUTUBE NOW WORKS!!!

Hope this helps!!!
