I apologize for taking so long to get going on this, but I promise the wait will be over soon. I ordered my very own Samsung Finesse from Straight Talk last Friday morning, and I’m now waiting on the shipment. I’m a little disappointed with Straight Talk on this – I paid for “overnight” shipping, but the phone didn’t even leave the warehouse until the fourth business day after I placed my order. That’s not the type of customer service I’d like to see when I pay over $400 for a phone (including the service time, overnight shipping, and sales tax).

I have seen a couple of other people online talking about slowing shipping from Straight Talk in the last week, so I guess maybe we can cut them a little slack as this is probably their busiest few weeks of the year between the debut of the Samsung r810c and the normal holiday rush. Still, if it becomes a pattern with them I will definitely not be impressed.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that I’ll be updating this blog as soon as I receive the new phone, hopefully with a short review video as I open the Finesse for the first time. Of course,I also plan to do an in-depth review soon after I receive the phone, so watch for that as well. Stay tuned…
