MetroPCS Introduces its First Touch Screen Handset

MetroPCS and Samsung Mobile today launched the Samsung Finesse. With the Samsung Finesse, MetroPCS subscribers will be able to experience features and capabilities including unlimited talk, text and data, Internet access, web-browsing, MP3 music player and other multimedia functions, all with the convenience of a touch screen.

The Samsung Finesse’s touch screen display, virtual QWERTY keypad and tactile feedback are designed with Samsung’s unique TouchWiz interface. The TouchWiz interface incorporates specially designed widgets that allow users to customize and personalize their phone, with instant access to their favorite functions.

The Samsung Finesse is available with the $50 service plan and is available for purchase in all metropolitan areas where MetroPCS service is available, which include Greater Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Detroit, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco Sacramento, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston.

When consumers purchase the $50 rate plan they will have access to several applications. One of these will be MetroNavigator, a GPS navigation system that allows subscribers to receive voice-guided turn-by-turn directions to any desired address in the United States.

“We’re excited to offer the first touch screen phone to MetroPCS customers,” said Bill Ogle, Chief Marketing Officer of Samsung Telecommunications America. “The customizable widgets and Internet access on the Samsung Finesse give users the ability to access their favorite features and other online applications with a single touch.”

The Samsung Finesse is available at all MetroPCS authorized dealers and company-owned retail locations.
