By popular request, I’ve done a video of the browser on the Samsung Finesse Straight Talk version. This should be considered supplementary to my written review of the browser, which you can find here.
I also need to make a clarification on the functionality of Yahoo mail, which I discussed in that written browser review. On that post, I noted that message composition worked fine in the Finesse Browser. On further review, I had problems composing messages through the “regular” Yahoo mail application. Specifically, when I tried to enter text in the body of the email message, I the browser would not recognize that portion of the page as a text entry field. I was able to work around this by logging into the mobile version of Yahoo.com. I should also point out that Hotmail and Gmail both defaulted to the mobile version, and everything worked fine on those browsers.
Here’s the video of the web browser on the Straight Talk Finesse:

Hello,
In your opinion do you think that Straight Talk will come out with more advanced online capabilities? I know we can’t expect a whole lot considering its only 45 dollars for a month of service but I can’t help but feel disappointed that it can’t play videos. Do you think we can expect a smart phone with “smart internet” functions such as the ability to watch videos and play music on the web from Straight Talk?

Hi Tyler
Unfortunately, all I can do is speculate about the answer to your question. I think that they will probably add more functionality like streaming video and music at some point, but whether that’s in a few months or a few years, I don’t know. Your guess is as good as mine.
