Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: Not high def, Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The phone constantly freezes and its like the have taken you back to the beginning of time with the built in ringtones. If we are charged for a data package why would you make a phone in 2011 that doesn't support ringtones. I can't wait until my upgrade comes through. Sad that microsoft put their name to this!!!
Pros: Durable, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I don't like smartphones

The Samsung Focus is a beautiful phone with tons of features and a very large screen which was one of the main reasons I chose it because of poor vision. For 3 1/2 yrs I've had a feature phone and it was so simple to use. This phone has all kinds of icons that don't make sense, it is too hard to delete calls, a nightmare to send a text, hard to find the keyboard, hard to find anything. The Samsung tutorial is excellent and so is the interactive one at the carrier's website. The touch is slow and not very sensitive. I have to use my fingernail sideways to enter a letter while texting.I have missed many calls, sent illegible texts, and wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to use it without referring to the manual. I guess I am not a smartphone user and prefer the simplicity of a feature phone. It may not necessarily be the fault of the phone, but of the user.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, speech command, great for smartphone users
Cons: Too big, touch not sensitive, too complicated too hard to get to where you want
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

1st off, It's of course, a SAMSUNG. This was my first Windows Phone and i thought i'd give it a try. Overall, i was please sed with the easy navigation w/this phone. Fairly easy to use, not as much to do as per say Android but over all, it's a great phone. Only gripe is non use of Adobe Player. i have a lot of sites that require it but the Focus does not run Adobe.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!
