Here’s the deal. All you can do with this phone is basic searches on the internet. Weather, email, etc.. If you get this phone thinking it is a droid or a iphone, you will be dissapointed. Thats the draw back. On the positive side, me and my wife cut 120 dollars a month off of our phone bill by using this phone. Wait until you get home to get on your laptop or pc to do the heavy searches. If you need a phone that you can watch you tube on, get another phone.

Hi Jason
I don’t have windows 7, so I can’t help you there, but maybe someone else here can…

I bought a generic data cable for use with my Samsung Finesse phone. My pc is running windows 7 64bit, when i plug it in with the phone set to “mass storage device” it says something about being unable to locate drivers and it just doesn’t work at all. i don’t see how i could be doing anything wrong.

Straight talk phones do not support GPS. It is my understanding from Straight talk that this is not offered and Samsung says it is not a hardware function but a software app and is not supported by straight talk. Im working on transferring contacts from outlook without much success yet. Who wants to add 500 contacts manually? Takes an engineer to not think this one through. This phone looks like a sports car but has a chipmunk for a motor.

metro pcs also does youtube, which this phone does not. unfortunately we bought the dumbed down version from straight talk at the $300++price tag! Its crazy that one can’t access YOU tube, even virgin mobile allows that!

As for the NAM 1 and 2 functions, guys don’t change the setting by selecting NAM 2. That will mess up the setting and the phone will ask you for pass code. Even if you enter the right pass code, the phone won’t recognize it because I believe that NAM has something to do with modem of the phone and you will have trouble get it back (it happened to me before).

Please anyone knows something about how to get a GPS on the phone, share the trick with us. Even if I have to pay for it, I will.

Thanks in advance

The Straight Talk version of this phone does not seem to have a GPS function, which is weird because the MetroPCS version does. I don’t know why it’s not on the straight talk one.
