Samsung Code on Metro PCS

has anyone heard of any leaked information for the price range of this phone? i am just curious because i have been wanting to get a finesse which is about $350 and i dont know if this one is cheaper or not. if so, i think i am going to get this phone.

299.00

It will be $299.00 - a Windows Mobile handset at $299 with NO contract NO credit check and first month is FREE. Can't beat that! The plan is a flat $50 a month for everything, that is usually the price for just the data plan, but this is for everything - and I mean everything!

I've been with Metro since 2005 and left them only for a short while before switching back again. You really can't beat their deals, especially now with their extended coverage areas branching into the midwest and more of the east coast.

I've been using a Sprint Mogul on Metro for 3 months now but it's only a dual band pcs phone, but now with this Samsung coming out, I can have a Metro WinMo phone with AWS which means it will work with EVERY market.

Honestly, if you live in a Metro area, this is the way to go. I've been with AT&T, T-Mo, Sprint and Helio and this is by far the happiest I've been with a service.

Metro is terrible for those of us travel around (just try driving away from a city and off an interstate). And the data speeds are creepy slow. It's unlimited because it'll take an hour to download 1MB!!

the internet speed is good, for me coz is not true 1mb download in 1hour, some case depent of chep phone or the coverage area, im live in dallas, tx, and travel 2 fortwork, irving, anna, allen, texoma, munday , tx and oklahoma, all work perfect (i got more coverage w metro than t-mobile flex pay. I have nokia n95 w tmobile and 6265 w metro pcs) i want a s60 symbian phone w metro, but my dream dont come true, (sorry 4 my bad english)

This phone is amazing! Even if it's $299, you have to think...no contract, no way to mess your credit up, and everything's unlimited for $50 plus tax a month (approximately $59). Oh, and this is a 3G phone people, so it will be quicker than any other Metro PCS phone you might have now. I have Metro PCS service and I get more bars in my home than with T-Mobile. Explain that? Metro is quickly coming up and will, without a doubt change the face of the cellular phone industry. It's already starting with Boosts unlimited plan and Cricket Wireless coming out. Plus, Metro puts new towers up every single day...trust me, I get the email updates from a friend that works for them. When Sprint first came out they had terrible service, worse than Metro is at this time. Think about it everyone. You might have to pay a lot for the phone, but you're saving money rather than buying a phone from T-Mobile and paying $100 a month. Do the math.
Now you're enlightened. Go get Metro.

The code is set to come out next week @ $299.00. I have the blackberry curve now..what are the major differences? Will the code be a better phone?

Was just told by a Metro PCS agent in S.Florida that this phone will be available at the end of this month and should be $30-35.00 less than the BlackBerry($399.00)......can wait for it....

SORRY....meant to say That COULD NOT WAIT FOR IT!!!

G

The Metro PCS website shows it for $299 but available in stores only, though I haven't been in to the store yet.

Would the Samsung Code be able to check Gmail accounts and automatically retrieve email like the BlackBerry can?

Well this is what i heard unlike the samsung finesse the samsung code is gonna have flash which means your gonna be able to see youtube, that is a plus and do to the fact that this is a windows soft device ur gonna be able to do alot of things like a computer. for example you will be able to use exel, word and see power point.

Just got the code for my wife. If you want facebook you have to go to the Microsoft mobile apps, not the metro app that comes on the phone. I found the facebook app accidentally by going to download a new background, which re-directs you to the Microsoft site. So far seems like a really nice phone for a metro phone.

Could anyone compare Pro and Con between Samsung Code and Finesse. I'll bring my contact from AT&T but cant decide B/W these two. I plan to read ebook from m.safaribookonline.com, call international, GPS(so i dont have to buy GPS this X' Mas), skyscrape PDA reference book, watch some online TV if I can. Last question, Should I wait till black friday or/X'Mas?
Thank you very much for all input.

A windows 6.1 phone without wi-fi???

Why even bother?

Blech...

This phone does not have a flash like this article says. I just bought this phone tonight. I'm impressed so far. =)

Susan, I believe it does do flash video. I'm fairly impressed with the phone, you can download google applications with no problem and it also plays back youtube videos.

just curious if this samsung code metro phone is java/flash enabled, or capable?? not a single other phone metro sells, including the samsung finnesse, nor the blackberry, at there high prices, has either platform, therefore, are non capable of watching videos, on youtube, or any flash/java type sites. they can view vids on there sd card, but not from websites. since winmobile is on this phone, it would seem possible. I have a samsung i910 / and an htc mogul /verizon vx6800 / ppc 6800. Ihave win mobile on them, had them flashed to metro, then enabled them for internet, mms, etc.. all are capable of youtube vids, radio sites, etc.. this could be a great phone if it had this capability. My flashed phones are great, but lack the "metro backup" and cool metro navigator programs, that come with natural metro phones, so i am interested in this one.. thanks everyone.

please email me with an answer augierockstar@hotmail.com

This phone is simply amazing. It does everything and anything you can think of. You just have to search the internet for Windows Mobile applications. You can watch youtube videos, update your facebook, listening to music, scrobble using last.fm, use Super Nintendo emulators and much much more. This is the best MetroPCS phone I've ever owned.

I've had this phone for like 10 days now, and I can't stand it. I put a memory card in it with tons of memory, but the ringtones HAVE to be saved to the phone's internal memory, and I only put FOUR ringtones in, and it started causing all kinds of problems on my phone. It keep saying not enough free disk space to do ANYTHING (send texts/emails/take pics, etc). It's so stupid.

The battery life on this phone is absolute garbage. It's brand new, and I don't even hardly use it, and it dies in two days! I still have my old phone, so I'm barely touching this one at all.. and it dies in two days! I have a friend who has the Messager II and he says his phone is the same way.

Also, you can only use a Samsung headset with this phone! I need to use a 2.5mm headset, and this really pisses me off. I don't use bluetooth headsets.

The keyboard is also so cramped, you make a lot of typos. I have very tiny fingers, but I still find this to be a major problem.

And once again, this camera does NOT have a flash.

Anyway, I haven't used 60 minutes on it yet, so I can still take it back. I'm looking forward to getting my money back. I just need to decide what phone to get instead! I hate all of Metro's phones. I might be getting a flashed phone instead.

Any questions, feel free to contact me.

I have had the Finesse for 5 months now and am very annoyed with MetroPCS support. Until a month ago I was easily able to sign onto my AOL mail via the HTML web browser NOW I can't get onto AOL via web mail ... I get an error message. I can get on AOL through mail@metro but it does not allow me to see my personal folders or my contacts and that sucks. When I call MetroPCS corportae store they have no clue why or how to help me.

When I heard about the Samsung Finesse supporting Win, flash, and streaming video I was very excited... until I called the corporate store this morning and they told me that it will NOT support apps like YouTube, Twitter, ChaCha... ext... This is info from their corporate store!
I have no idea now if the phone supports the apps I want and I won't buy another phone until I am sure it supports all COMMON apps! Yes, my monthly bill is only $66 which includes taxes and insurance and I do get unlimited calls, text, and web browsing... but I am annoyed that it does not support the apps I was told it supported by the Metro PCS staff when I bought it. If they don't understand how to use these phones and what they can do then who does? Sheesh!

BTW for those of you looking for free ringtones, backgrounds, videos, etc. go to myxer.com. It's a great site and works wonderful with my Finessee.

If anyone has any details on the Samsung Finesse regarding YouTube, Twitter, or ChaCha support please let me know at "justmyskates@aol.com" THANKS please put Samsung Code in the subject line.

I do like the GPS feature on the Finesse which I don't see listed as a feature on Samsung code... but maybe it does.

i have the samsung code and yes i am able to watch you tube, porn videos and im able to check my work email from it. this phone does everything. im also able to download movies from the web and save it to my mem card. soon ill be downloading the windows mobile 6.5 and 7 upgrade as well. the windows my phone feature is the most useful though. i can send all of my information, apps, contacts, photos, movies and music to my microsoft storage site and transfer it to another phone if i ever lose this one. or, i can go online log in and locate my phone on a map and have it ring for me if i need to. really cool phone.

what web sight do u log into to find your phone????

I loved the phone until yesterday I am so frustrated right now. It keeps freezing and seems like it has a virus!!! Doesn't let me do anything and if I press the M button it locks up completely ugh....WHYYYYY... Has this happened to anyone? I tried shutting it off, removing the battery and memory card, Reprogramming, and nothing....I'm going to the metro store tomorrow and wait in that four hour line....FMLLLLL

Metros website on the phone has a big ad promoting apps @metro but under the specs its not checked off as if it dosent support it. Im thinking of getting this phone just cause I need an upgrade,but wonder if this would be better than the finesse. Also a bit off topic metro has good coverage in Fl but i drove up from Fl to ny on I95 and Once I left Fl I had coverage for about an hour in parts of sc and for about 5 mins in NC. Even richmond and DC were dead zones. Once I got to Manhattan i was ok. Definetly not the best phone service to have if your taking a road trip and come across an emergency.

How could this phone support Youtube/Flash/etc when the metropcs internet connection is extremely slow?

My first phone was a sprint flip phone, it was a mid-range phone at the time, and allowed me to check sports scores on a monochrome, text-only screen. I was paying a ridiculous amount of money to sprint ($350 + a month for little phone use), and sent them to hell.

Then Metropcs came to town shortly after, it was 2001 or so. Their phones were awesome because it was unltd talk/txt for $40 a month (at the time). I had a very simple kyocera.

Years went by, its 2009 and I've owned about 4 metro phones. The second one was the "high end" kyocera that allowed pictures and mms messaging. Even polyphonic ringtones.

I then had two motorolas, MOTOROLA SUCKS!

Now I have a samsung messager, i've had it for a year, and this is my last phone for metro. It has served its purpose.

Its been so many years that metro has been around, and they've failed to evolve with the industry, and the needs of users.

Now they're selling phones at almost $500 and their "high-end" phones pale in comparison to current phones by other carriers.

I'm using a free phone number Google Voice provided me with, this is seriously gonna revolutionize the industry. I now am looking at verizon for my next phone provider, I'm possibly gonna get a mid-range phone or even a smartphone. Droid maybe??

All I can say is, metropcs better shape up, they are no longer the "little guy" in the industry, their subscribers have grown to millions more than before, and now they're located in virtually every market in the United States.

Are they so antiquated that they can't come up with decent phones that work, a decent speed for internet, real customer service reps, and open source compatibility for phones?

It's actually not too late for the company.

Wake up metro! Before it's too late, or you'll become the next large company to go under.

im thinking of geting a Samsung Code
but which one is better the Samsung Code
or the Samsung Finesse
and does samsung finesse has internet like the samsung code or not which one is better ?

I have a question i'm going to get the code soon will it be able to upgrade to windows 6.5 or 7? Or will it need to remain on windows 6.1 in order to function properly?

I am going to purchase this phone this week. what is the code for the phone.. anyone with the correct answer please email me.. dexsav@gmail.com

Wow this phone must be popular I went to 4 differnt metro pcs store this evening and they were all sold out. Best Buy has the phone for $249.99, but they were sold out in my area as well. I am downgrading from the higly expensive IPhone. Im sick and tired of paying AT & T over $150 a month and still have dropped calls most of the time. I have had all the major carriers except, Metro so I hope this phone works out for me. Look at the you tube videos for reviews and demos of the phone they defintely help me make my decision.

Where can i find this phone in silver like in the picture?

I bought this phone last week and I love it!! Still learning all of its features but so far its worth its price. The facebook app needs to be worked on a bit to coincide with the actual site but its still a good phone for the money. To me its a phone that is just as good as the blackberry without the price you pay for service.

My bill will be after taxes with all the bells and whistles $70+ a month and no contract to lock me into for 2 years and then charge me the price of the phone to get out of it. The service areas need to be expanded though because in certain areas of rt 22 in the mountainside plainfield nj area service is spotty. Otherwise im happy with Metro.

WHAT PHONE WOULD BE BETTER THE SAMSUNG CODE OR THE BLACKBERRY CURVE.

WHAT PHONE WOULD BE BETTER THE SAMSUNG CODE OR THE BLACKBERRY CURVE. EMAIL ME UR SUGGESTIONS TO DAMIAN_SRRANO17@YAHOO.COM

Can you listen to pandora on the samsung code.

plz any1 wit the unlock code of a samsung j750 plz gv thm 2me.

ok guys,
yes Metro has some issues, indeed i agree..
but seriously for the price you pay, you should not complain..
i'd rather have issues w/ web speed then be in debt..

& i bet you would too.

Yeah it has a lot of enhanced features,so it'll definitely create a good market for samsung.
Macken,
walkie talkie headsets

the phone keeps freezing on me for the last two days. i turn it off and on, take out the battery and put it in again. but it only works for temporarily. i cant go in the menu and if i do, i cant exit without waiting for so long. im so frustrated. its lagging and freezing on me!!!

I just bought this phone and I have to say it is so awesome. I bought mine from Best Buy online for $250.00. I decided to go with best Buy because the Metro PCS store was charging $300.00 for it.

do you know if you can tether/use as a modem the samsung code?

i have metropcs service already, but i wanted to switch my phone, and was wondering if i buy Samsung code from best buy, will i have to be charged a flash fee for activation?

does anyone know if this phone has a call block feature. specifically a feature that alows you to block specific numbers from communicating with the phone via phone or text?

Just got the code, I love it, very nice phone!it a good price for the $299, $50/monthly everything including with Metro you can go wrong

Got mine during Thanksgiving and I gotta say, it's the best investment I've made. I live in the SF Bay Area and drive from the Central Valley all the way to San Jose using the GPS and PHone with ZERO drops!!! I download and use SiriusXM (freeware), Nintendo 8Bit Emulators, Pandora Radio, Facebook, SKYFIRE WebBrowser for Java and Flashbased websurfing.. You cannot go wrong.. Buy it now until the Nexus Phone becomes compatible with the MetroPCS network (CDMA)..

I currently have the Samsung Messanger II from Metro PCS. It's good but I'm ready to upgrade to a smart phone. Can anyone compare Metro's Blackberry Curve to the Samsung Code? Which is better? You can e-mail me at NileBeauty3@yahoo.com.

I've been with MetroPCS since 2007 and added my kids a few months later. I have the Finesse, and my kids have the Messager and the My Shot. Since Metro upgraded their service plans a few months ago, my kids, who at first just had unlimited talk/text, can now access Metro Web and go on Facebook from their phones. With my data plan service and their unlimited talk/text and metro web access, our bill is just $160.22. I have never had any issues with Metro's service. If we have to travel outside the coverage area, we just buy airtime; but we can still send and receive texts for free outside the Metro service areas. I honestly don't know if I'll ever use a contract service again.

Every time I hear people talk about how much their bills are with data plans, I just smile inside because I have what they have but with a much smaller price tag. I much prefer biting the bullet and paying $250-$300 for a phone than paying outrageously high cell phone bills each month.

I do plan to get the Code as soon as I can. It wasn't available when I got the Finesse, which I got because I gave my daughter my then current phone (the Messager) when hers finally gave up the ghost. I know somebody who has the Code, and he has no problems watching videos on You Tube. I love my Finesse, but I want a phone I can watch videos on without having to load them to my memory card first.

what Is The Samsung Code For FaceBook Can Some 1 Plz Tell Me

It's $249 over here in Atlanta. I have hearn nothing but rave reviews and am looking forward to getting one with my this year's tax returns.

I went to the MetroPCS store here in Miami (Sunset/117Ave). The girl there told me that if I buy the phone that all sales were "final" (The Code is $249 + $10 to switch phones at the store and copy my phonebook/contacts over).For me I think that is just bullshit from her mouth. I have a Nokia 6265i on Metro, had it on for 2+ years. Best all around phone they ever had and they quit selling it after like 6 months. They still fetch a good price on eBay too. I want to get the Code but just am on the fence about this. I see on youtube were people get the browser, watch youtube, do internet connection sharing (so you basically get dial up speeds but hey you are portable). Pay $40/month now which includes taxes (I had to call metro and say switch my plan which was $50.11 a month total to get their "new" rates) and has everything I had before, just cheaper. I don't really go out of Florida so for the money Metro is the best deal.

my phone keeps saying that i don't have enough memory space when i deleted so much content and even installed a 2g memory card!! i can't take any pics or video and it won't even let me send out texts bc it says i dont have enough memory space. What do i do?

Well how are you all doing,

I live in Detroit,Mi. I have a Samsung Finesse (the latest hardware version I believe) and I can watch youtube vids just fine. Supposed to have 3g coverage here in Detroit(I believe), but have'nt gotten it to work yet. Don't know if there something I need to do or if it would automatically detect 3g itself. I been in the pnones hidden menus and have'nt seen any setting for changing the data configuration.In fact about the only thing I did in the hidden setup so far was to change my homepage.
Been using metro for about three years now and they are indeed getting a lot better.

has anybody else have problems with this phone sending text messages

I just got the code yesterday, seems ok, but I can't download any of the apps. I keep getting an error message that tells me I am on airplane mode or in a bad service area. I know the service area is fine & can't find airplane mode anywhere on the phone.
Went through metro's tech support, but they were zero help, couldn't tell me anything about the phone & directed me to a store to have the rep there look for airplane mode. Pretty frustrating.
Anyone else have this problem?

Does anyone know if you can use yahoo mobile messanger with this phone? I just bought a finesse last week and messanger doesn't work on it, this is something that I need. I can give the finesse to my wife and get a code if it supports yahoo messanger.

@kascott33- on the code to use yahoo msgr u will need to download an app called palringo. This app alerts u when an IM is sent to u...and you can use all msgrs on palringo (AIM, hotmail, yahoo, facebook etc.) Google palringo and upload the app.

@Chad- I only get the message when I try to download Metropcs Apps, it is better to go download from windows mobile app site.

If you need help with downloading more apps check out youtube they have tutorials on everything! :)

I love this phone! I have a facebook APP, Pandora (radio) App...and more!

I have a qusetion about the Samsung Code. I need to know how can I get my media player to play more then one song in one setting. It would only play one song then I have to select another song it wouldn't play one after the other. I tryed puting it on shuffle but still no go.

I can't seem to find out which metro pcs markets support 3g for the code. Anyone know? Here in Philadelphia it always says 1x

Is anyone having problems with the Samsung Code battery life? My phone is about 1 month old and the battery is only lasting the day.

Bought one for $249 before taxes and got the Tax Inclusive $50 Smart Phone Plan. This phone is great with Windows Mobile 6.1 and there's no restrictions. I just downloaded Skyfire and Opera Mini 4.2 for my web browser. I installed tiny twitter, facebook for my social networking. Beejive for my aol instant messaging, google chat, yahoo instant messaging, msn. I installed NES and Super NES Roms. I watch youtube videos no problems. This phone is pretty awesome and I play with it everyday, a great investment.

Did they say this March or April 2009 for 3G in Philly? I read they will skip 3G and go 4G late this year. I hope they get 3G for this phone so you tube does not buffer all the time, and Mundu radio will play seamless!!!

I meant this March/April 2010 in Philly.....

i love my code man. its great.but for sumreason. i think i messd up sumthing. now i go on u youtube and looks likes i dnt have flash... i downloaded skyfire and flash lite. but removed them. and after that nomore youtue for me....lol i keep looking for upgrades from w6.1 to w6.5.... but i hate having to go to the youtube app to watch vids... i used to just go thru the browser.... so any one knows how to fix da problem. hit me me plz rascooly@yahoo.com. i kno there gotta be a way to fix it. and there gotta be one of u guys dat can help. so plz id appreciate da help. thanx
