Great phone when the back button works...

I've had the phone for 7 months now purchased at AT&T. The display is great and the phone is snappy. Almost Immediately I noticed the back button would not work occasionally. I went back to AT&T and they said that that would be fixed in the next software release of the Windows Phone 7 OS. Well I am completely updated now and still experience the problem. It should have been replaced immediately when the problem was noticed. Now I have to send my phone in for repair that can take up to 5 business days once they receive the phone. Frustrating.. but the phone is worth it.
Pros: easy to use and great display
Cons: back button problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

Focus 1.4

Expertise:Expert
Overall great phone, problems lie with Microsoft's restrictions on device. Small app marketplace, No 4G, took a long time to receive Mango update. Fast, affordable, sleek. Wish it had a scroll button like my old Windows phone had. Needs better built in flash player.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast
Cons: takes a while to receive firmware updates, windows phone 7 restrictions on pc compatibility
I would recommend this to a friend!

Focus

This is my first smart phone and I'm definitely impressed. The tile feature is something I had to get used to but it is definitely unique. The ease of use impresses me as I have a toddler at home and can't spend a lot of time trying to learn new things. Definitely worth the purchase.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, has office products so i can work wherever
I would recommend this to a friend!

I really enjoy the Samsung Focus. The only thing that I've found that I don't care so much about is the app store. Other than that this phone is amazing. I've dropped it a million times and it still works like it's brand new. It's easy to figure out and easy to use. The only down part on the phone itself is the back piece is hard to get off at first and then the longer you have it the more it falls off. Any time I've dropped it both the back and the battery has fallen off. All in all it's a great phone that I would recommend to everyone.
Pros: Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: app store

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
