Samsung Finesse touchscreen multimedia phone for MetroPCS in pictures

Gallery by Brian James Kirk on Monday April 06, 2009.

Our correspondent at the 2009 CTIA Wireless show in Las Vegas, Brad Kellett, had a chance to preview the Samsung Finesse, the company's touchscreen multimedia phone for MetroPCS that features the TouchWiz user interface, a camera and camcorder, and social networking applications. The phone sports a 3.7-inch 262k colors TFT LCD display, a 2 megapixel camera, and a microSD external card slot.

Kellett said that the device couldn't feel more like the Samsung Instinct, a similar device, if it tried. Kellett even thought that the browser on the Instinct may work better than the Instinct's. The user interface was slow, but not horribly so, he said. He also noted that in order to use an on-screen keyboard, text entries are brought into a new window, making it hard to complete simple tasks like adding and removing recipients from an SMS message.

I have a weird question about samsung phones.. When someone calls you does it show you each and every time the person calls you, or does it show the last time the person call you?
