Couldn't help but notice the lack of a Straight Talk thread.

The Finesse just came out for ST not even a month ago, so there probably aren't many ST Finesse owners yet, but there should be soon considering ST is now probably the best prepaid option available. I just switched from Net10 and i'm LOVING it. A few of my friends I've told about it are switching too, a couple considering getting the fin.

As far as I can tell we have the same drawbacks as the MetroPCS people (No java, video downloads, etc) but we are also missing GPS and Games. The GPS doesnt bother me but it sure does suck not having games! There's nothing available on the ST site, perhaps there will be in the near future.

you can fix the ringtone by making your own and loading it on there. when making your own ringtone set the first 1-3 seconds alotttt louder than the rest. it will even out. there is a thread on here i think

Would be nice to see if anyone can hack the st phone for using streaming video and other apps.

I just got the finesse about a week ago with straight talk. I had the samsung r451 for 2 months previous. I find it to be a huge step up from the r451, but I get frustrated at the limitations put in place by the carrier. I guess that's the trade off for $45.00 a month. As far as what it can do I really like it. The full html is big for me, the camera and camcorder also are nice to have. I keep looking for the word on youtube, just waiting for someone to break it open I guess. I look forward to talking and reading about other straight talk customers with this phone!

I have had this phone for 3 weeks now with Straight Talk. And let me tell you that this phone SUCKS. Can't download any apps, games, Ect... This phone is only good for talking and texting only.

Wow... it looks like no one has posted news on the finesse runing under straight Talk, and now that they are not working the phone no more I guess there will be less.

Hey did some one of you experience problems with the text message on your phone? I just activate my and its working fine for me, but i can only recieve text from verizon or straight talk phones, my siter have a AT&T phone and if I text her she get my text with no problem but she reply and I dont get any text...

I call 4 times ST and they cant figure what can be wrong, I know its not the phone because I can send and recieve text with no problem, and the web its working 100%... this partially sucks but my friend have verizon or straigh talk so I can text most of them.

I like the phone, I love to send video messages to my family, the web browser is not bad, my need for web on the go is really reduced to wikipedia, hotmail, weather channel and Ebay... and all of this just run perfect on the little browser.

Games on a phone? hahaha, if I want to play a game on the go I use my PSP! 

I have load a couple of movies on a memory card, and Im talking full lengh movies on mp4 format... but more for test than really because I want to watch them, the video player is good but there are some details that make a little hard to watch the movie (if you move a lot the video flip from vertical to horizontal over and over).

On the other hand the phone handle mp3 files really good, and you can drag the widget to the main screen and still recieve and send text!

The only bad think for me its the fact the text is not working fine, so like notifications from ebay or facebook dont show...   

I hope that maybe when my first 30 days of service are up and I put a new card ont he account the sistem will reebot and start working fine... because the customer service of straight talk sucks and I dont want to keep calling for 45 minutes to do the same crapy 3 steps to fix the phone, Maybe I should just call with a dickhead acctitud and scream to the customer care rep and maybe they will do something!!!
