It may be hard to find apps for the Samsung Caliber. This is not a smartphone per se, but a feature phone that acts like one. Get more information on apps for the Samsung Caliber here in this informative article.
The Samsung Caliber is a good looking handset that was a replacement for the Finesse. It has a good looking screen that is just three tenths of an inch smaller than an iPhone. It does not have 3G or Wi-Fi so downloading an app to this phone may prove to be a tough job. It also does not use Java programming, so that is also out of the equation. What it does use is something called “Brew”. This will allow the Caliber to download games ringtones and graphics. But what games, ringtones or apps are available for Brew ?
A variety of games, ringtone packages, entertainment and productivity apps are available from MetroPCS thanks to its agreement with Qualcomm, the maker of Brew, the “Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless”. One of the productivity apps is called quite simply; “email”. It does what it says, sending and receiving emails for the user of the Samsung Caliber. It is already in the handset, so this app will not need to be downloaded. The other things, like ringtones, will.
To get ringtone apps on the Samsung Caliber you will need to visit the MetroPCS site. The downloads are there for Brew apps. Search for and click on the “download” tab. This will take you to the “Ringtones and Wallpapers” link. From there find the “Realtones Hotlist” tab. You will find it at the top and right side of the Realtones input panel. Keep a lookout on the left side of the resulting page. Find the “Ringtones” link that is located on the top left side of the search results. From there, look through some ringtones that you like. You should be able to hear samples on your computer. Once you see one that you want, click the “buy now” button for it. You will be asked for your phone model and phone number. This is where the MetroPCS phone number should be entered into the web page. This will result in your phone getting a SMS message. Once it arrives, click on the link in the text to open another new page for buying the ringtone. You will be presented with some terms to agree with. Agreeing with them is the only option given if they let you download the ringtone or not. Once you agree, you confirm the purchase and the credit card for the account associated with that MetroPCS phone number will be charged for the ringtone. You are done !
The ringtone will automatically be downloaded to the Samsung Caliber without any help from you. A quick search in the menus and settings will show you a new tone in the list. This can be duplicated with wallpapers or other downloadable ( such as games ) apps from the MetroPCS site.
