Pioneer has primarily had Motorola's for the past couple years and I was so glad to see them bring in a new line. I've only had the phone a couple days, but so far I've been very happy with the quality of the Finesse.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-Great sound<br />-Good battery life<br />-Easy menus operation<br />-Bright, clear display<br />-etc<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Ringer is way too quiet when it starts and gradually builds (Can't always hear it)<br />-It won't link up with my Bluetooth enable home phone</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=34206#review34206 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=34206#review34206 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 22:12:40 GMT <p><i>Axhole submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>It took a while to accept the cost of the phone, but considering Metropcs does not have some of the (so called) high end phones, I thought this phone was awsome!! No phone is perfect but it just depends if it's perfect for you. This one is a good match for me and for what I need it to do. Still playing with it and still need more time with it but so far so good.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=34126#review34126 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=34126#review34126 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 05:58:45 GMT <p><i>denny606 submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I don't know where to start this is one piece of junk phone it would cycle from 4 bars to leaving service area while sitting still talking hands free.It is hard to make the touch screen work,the widget bar is a pain and useless. You have to tell it which keyboard you want to use each and every time you text,and if these things didn't speak enough about this phone the glass screen cracked like a car windshield while on charge, after using it 2 and 1/2 days without dropping it and carrying it around like a newborn. Would someone tell me I got a dud and they are not all like this?</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33903#review33903 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33903#review33903 Tue, 02 Jun 2009 16:50:52 GMT <p><i>Jshutrbug28 submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>0</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Very disappointed in this phone. It's great if all you want is "just a phone" but that's it. They should be ashamed to call this a smart phone. Can't set email accounts, can't customize the menu for icons you don't use or will not work, no driver available, there's just so many downfalls I can't even list them all. This is a high priced phone that isn't made well and doesn't do anything either. The only pro would be that the phone does have potential but Metro has ALOT of work to do to accomplish this. Will definitely be returning this thing today.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33770#review33770 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33770#review33770 Tue, 19 May 2009 19:42:46 GMT <p><i>b20vtecpt submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is NO GOOD.

But if metropcs and samsung are listening, this phone NEEDS to be able to sync with computer for calender &amp; contact list. This is the ONLY thing that is really lacking, great design, included programs, fast, looks GREAT, but a smart phone without the ability to connect to all the info we have on out laptops and desktops is not that smart. If they add that, then this would give the iphone a run for its money."</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33716#review33716 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33716#review33716 Wed, 13 May 2009 14:18:33 GMT <p><i>americannarc submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is by far the dumbest touch screen there is no pro just con'sssssssssss. From it crappy format to the battery life (well it a touch screen battery life will be short how wants a phone life 4 hrs) but the biggest joke is some company are saying you need the Internet package to make the phone work. People this is total crap the phone will work with out it. The company want your money that all. twenty dollars a month adds up and it adds up faster when the phone is worthless.

It took over a minute to render yahoo.com in good coverage.<br />* bland UI: Aside from the drag and drop app menu on the home screen, samsung did nothing more than take their normal non-touch UI and add touch to it. As a result, there is nothing touch optimized in this UI and you need a bunch of extra touches just to do basic things like make a call from contacts. If samsung spent more than 15 minutes designing this UI, they should be ashamed of themselves.<br />* size: why is there so much wasted space around the display? <br />* horrible auto-lock behavior: The biggest fix I can recommend on this device is to remove the auto-lock setting. You constantly need to unlock the display, which gets annoying fast since the lock button is on top of the device in a hard to reach area. If the size of the finesse was closer to its screen size, this would be less of a problem.<br /><br />Pro's<br />* cool drag and drop app menu on the home screen.<br />* pretty good touch qwerty.<br /><br />At $300, the finess is definitely not worth the $$$. For this much money, I was expected much better overall performance and a device with more thought put into it than this.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33554#review33554 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33554#review33554 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 16:58:32 GMT <p><i>furyx639 submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is definitely the best metroPCS phone to date. It is fully featured with media capabilities, and the full-HTML web browser is a major plus!<br /><br />Reception has been exceptional compared to my last metroPCS phone (the Motorola HINT).<br /><br />Unfortunately it is not without flaws, since having the phone has power cycled twice. If you send mp3s through bluetooth they appear in the Music Player and cannot be set as a ringtone, but that's not really a big issue since the phone is detected as a flash drive when you plug it into your computer.<br /><br />Transferring music/video to the phone is very simple, just copy+paste your files to the designated folders for ringtones/music/video, and it'll automatically be detected from the phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1943 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33522#review33522 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1943&r=33522#review33522 Wed, 15 Apr 2009 16:33:03 GMT <p><i>techalum99 submitted this review of the Samsung Finesse R810:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Hmmmm.. Not sure why it is posted in reviews and not in forums but my guess is T9 was included in case someone wants to use it. Some people are so used to the T9 for texting. If they did not include it then people could not use it.
