Here's your chance to say what the Finesse needs, software, for future application developers! Speak your mind.

First and foremost a damn file manager. Second a better music player or at least have the ability to add a decent equalizer.

Note: Not sure if it's a bug or I'm misinterpreting what it means, but on the mp it shows what appears to be the song number with number of songs loaded (ie: 54/200). If I'm correct, then the song total number is WAY friggin' off. I've never had it rise above 200 even when I select all songs (I've got 1495 loaded). Also the sort algorithm is weak at best. I keep getting an inordinate number of same songs played over again.

Yep, a better mp would be nice.

If it can do Flash 5, then it can most definitely do streaming video. Otherwise you'd be questioning the network itself and not the capability of the phone. It has the support for the protocol, a near identical phone supports it, and when you try to stream a mp4 it goes into various states of lockdown and gives the same error as every other format, although the phone does support the format.

The problem is one of two things. 1 - Being locked out. 2 - software errors. There could've been an unresolved glitch in the phone and they didn't want to spend any more time working on it since it was 2 weeks from launch.

agreed.

The network isn't the issue! You can watch youtube on a pc that only has a 1400 baud fax modem. It downloads the movie and then you watch it. It may take a few days, but it's definitely possible.

It doesn't matter what metro does or doesn't do, because I have complete faith that the software can be made by us. You and me did not sign a contract, so the legality of hacking the phone is not an issue either. Technically we can do whatever we want to with it!

So even if I could wait for metro, this magical network update, and so on - why would I even want to even if the software might be exactly what we need for the issues that we have right now? No, I want a solution to as many future needs as possible. This phone should be hacked to perform any way we as a community want it to. We have needs and if we knew what to do right now to change things, why would I have a problem with it? Someone please tell me.

Anyways, on topic a little more. This isn't so much software as software support. I think the phone needs to first run native java, and then maybe run windows apps later on. However, as soon as java is available there are a bunch of things that we can do then that we can't do now.

So is java

I certainly hope this is not the case. I'm chekcing everything out on the phone and I guarantee them this... I will be taking this phone back to the store. I will not be making any calls on this phone simply checking out what I can and can't do... Hell, it's already been 2 hours since I've been trying to activate the service with no avail. As for software, I will tell you that you need better colors, more applications, and I better be able to download and upload movies, and everything form samsung for sure.

In the settings menu, you can set lock to manual.
