Does the samsung finesse use Verizon towers?

Also, I really like Straight Talk as a service provider. Luckily I haven’t had to call cust. service much yet, but that’s pretty much a crap shoot with any cell company these days. With ST, basically you get the benefit of AT&T or Verizon coverage at a much lower cost, without the contract. Of course, the phone selection is more limited. But I”m willing to trade that in order to safe hundreds of dollars a year compared to a contract service.

Hi Dano
My wife uses the Nokia E71. We are in the Eau Claire area, and travel often between here and Madison, as well as over toward Marshfield. The Nokia uses the AT&T network and coverage is pretty good. Verizon coverage might be a little better in the more rural areas, but that seems to have improved over the last few years. I don’t have much experience in the GB area, although I know that AT&T worked fine all up the peninsula on a recent trip to Door County.

The keys on the E71 ARE small, but no worse than any other QWERTY phone. I have a similar-sized phone, the Samsung r355c as well as the 900g, and I adapted pretty quickly. The E71 is really robust phone, especially for email syncing. I haven’t tried outlook contacts/calendar syncing, but I guess that works well too once you get it up and running. The downside of the E71 is that you MUST use the $45/month plan with it.

Are you still using Straight Talk? I’m so close to trying them out. I noticed that you mentioned Wisconsin. Do you live there? I’m in Green Bay, but travel the state quite often. I’m curious about the coverage here. Do you have any knowledge of the e71? That phone seems really nice, but the TINY keyboard scares me.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated!

Well after the samsung r810c went off the market for straight talk, I baught the Nokia e71 and as I have read your review, I have noticed that my Nokia e71 is much better than the samsung.. Although it is not touchscreen it rocks! Youtube app, facebook, myspace, and many more apps that can be download from the Ovi Store, Getjar, brothersoft, and many more places.. I love this phone and I don’t think that I will enjoy the samsung at all.. Thanks for your review though!! Real big help!!

Hi Saille
The cable plugs in to the same place the charger goes, I believe.

I just got my finesse from walmart on Sept 14. On the 13th it was 269.00 plus tax and then on the 14th it was 279.00 and now i can’t find it again. I really like it, but wish i could get a radio app. I heard that iphone radio apps worked, but my phone did not recognize the .ipa ext. If i knew what the apps ext for the finesse is, i could try and change it.

What i like is the cable that goes from the phone to the puter….but where would it plug in in the phone?
