Not the best among the wide pool of smart phones, but definitely not the worst either. If you don't care about ring tones, Skype, ebuddy, and other great apps on iphone and droid, go for it.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
Cons: no ringtones, no skype app, no gtalk, missing a lot of useful apps
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is one of my favorite phones i have had (and i have been thru a lot of cell phones!) i love the way its set up and everything, its easy to use, efficient, fast, and looks good :)
CONS: I have to say tho i HATE that i cant use whatever ring tones i want. And i cant send my videos in text messages? also my daughter dropped it one time and shattered the screen and i had to get a new one :( but i did get another of the focus.

I have owned both iPhone's and androids and must saying i'm really enjoying this phone. The software runs much faster than the specs would indicate. The only hardware changes I would make is to add a notification LED and change the speaker placement from being on the back to an end or a side of the phone. But the display is amazing!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, screen contrast
Cons: speaker placement
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing!

After having a HTC Tilt and being sold on the Focus by the ATT salesperson. It has been a disappointing experience! From no flashplayer, to not being able to tether my laptop to my cell phone for internet connecting, to not being able to download any app that doesn't come from Samsung or ATT, or download any mobile program. I am just counting the days till ATT lets me upgrade my phone at the discounted price, so that I can get a phone that meets my needs and expectations!
Pros: Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, apps only from att or samsung, can't download any mobile programs, no flashplayer
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
