The Samsung Messager II SCH-r560 released by both MetroPCS and Cricket Wireless is a slider phone geared towards the heavy-texting crowd. It comes to replace the original Samsung Messager which was released just about half year ago, by bringing some upgraded features such as a 2.0-megapixel camera, 3G support, EV-DO data connectivity and more.Same as its predecessor, the Messager II boasts a dual-keyboard slider design, measuring 4.49" high by 1.9" wide by 0.7" thick and weighing 4.3 ounces. It features a traditional numeric keypad on the front for T9 text entry, plus a full slide-out QWERTY keyboard for writing sentences. The 2.2-inch display supporting 262 colors and 240x320 pixels will change to landscape mode when you slide out the keyboard, although the Messager II does not have an accelerometer.
To meet the needs of texting fans, the new phone offers a set of messaging options, including SMS and MMS text messaging, instant messaging with Mobile IM, as well as email with mail@metro. With the WAP Web browser and MetroWeb, users can download additional content such as ringtones and games. GPS-based social apps like MetroNavigator and Loopt are also on-board as well for basic satellite navigation.
As for its multimedia functions, you will find a standard music player that supports album art and lyrics.

Besides, the 2.0-megapixel camera comes with digital zoom, adjustable brightness and night mode, and allows video recording. All music, audio and video files can be saved on the 40MB of internal memory and a microSD memory card of up to 8GB.
