My head nearly exploded

This phone is incredible! I just upgraded from a Motorola Backflip and this phone is lightyears beyond what Android could do for me. Everything from the smoothness of the touchscreen and responsiveness of the snapdragon processor to the size and shape is just amazing. I want to say the contrast and screen quality in general is my favorite part about this phone, but I have to say being able to access Xbox Live is my absolute favorite. I had an xbox live game, internet explorer, people, and music playing all at the same time and I couldn't even notice any lag.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, glitch free
Cons: had to sell my first born to afford
I would recommend this to a friend!

I do like the pace of this phone to get to tiles and info. I would like to have the ability to cut and paste from emails.
Yes the battery life is not so good. However I do like most of the features on the phone, I gave up a 4g Iphone for this phone due to poor reception and drop calls on the Iphone..
Apps are very limited on this phone, and to get ringtones it can be expensive, like all phones I suppose.
Overall I do like the phone, and reception quality is good.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: battery life, no ability to cut and paste from emails, technical support on this new phone is no good

Sad to give up Windows Phone

Sad to say I've given up my Focus for a Galaxy S3. I had the Focus for 2 years and it was one of the most dependable phone I've ever owned. Performance was great, always had a signal, easy to use, and did what I wanted when I wanted it. I only hope my new Android experience with the Galaxy S3 will be as good (will write a review on it in a year or so). Thanks Samsung for a quality product, we only but SAMSUNG now.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use, quick performance, intuative design
Cons: none

Windows Phone 7 and the Samsung Focus are a great combination. Phone functions well. It has a snappy interface and it just 'works' overall. Very pleased so far.
If I can find any fault with the device, it is that the 'lock/power' button is on the right side of the unit, as opposed to the top of the phone like other phones I have owned. This is only a real 'problem' because of the case that I purchased for it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
