Samsung Rocks!

I am a long time Samsung phone buyer. Have had the blackjack, blackjack II and the jack and then bought a blackberry because I couldn't find a new Samsung phone out that I liked. Then the Windows phone came out. I actually bought one for my 12 year old daughter and myself (adding 2 lines in the process, so that I can still use my Jack--hate the blackberry-it is not user friendly and I missed out on some once in a lifetime shots at a concert because I couldn't figure it out-- ugh!) I am so in love with this phone! My husband and son have the Iphones, but they don't have the windows office applications that I have access to. LOVE THIS PHONE!! And it is so easy to use, that my 12 year old daughter loves it too!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: having a hard time finding a case
I would recommend this to a friend!

The screen is gorgeous and I am really happy with Windows Phone 7, for being the first revision I haven't had any bugs yet or problems.
The only con is that the volume seems too low and the vibration is subtle, I miss calls all the time but it might be just me.

Best cellular phone I own to this day.

I have owned many cellular phones in the past and to this day the Samsung Focus fulfills my needs as a Windows phone. In the mid 90s I owned my first phone and it was a Motorola flip phone. Technology surely has grown since then. I am really satisfied with the functionality of the Focus. I can surf the web, keep in touch with friends on Facebook, watch recorded shows on my Uverse account, etc.. Shoot, I can even use voice command to search the web. There is nothing I have seen that makes me frown about this phone. There is no lag or any long respond latency with this phone. I'm pretty happy with Samsung, and if I have to upgrade in a couple of years I will definitely stick with the same brand.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, voice command
Cons: nothing
I would recommend this to a friend!

My only complaint (and it's not even really a complaint) is getting used to the touchpad keyboard - I've only had the phone a week, so I'm still learning.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: sound quality could be better
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Smartphone I've Ever Had

I've had this phone for about a month, and I have to say that it blows me away. It's lightweight, easy to hold, and extremely fast. The Windows Phone 7 OS is all its cracked up to be, and I can get to email to facebook to xbox live ridiculously fast. Like I said, I've only had it for a month so I can't say anything about durability, but so far it's awsome.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love it...

I used to be a huge Blackberry fan, but got taken away by the speed of the Droid phones coming out. Used one of those for awhile and eventually ended up with the focus. It was a no brainer since I had a Zune. The performace is great, it is lacking some apps I had on driod, but I don't miss them much, I'm looking forward to the update this month so I can cut and paste.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, quick, zune software
Cons: lacking some features in software

Posted by: kinetic1
This is the best Windows 7 Phone out. Very thin. It's very fast and the OS is great. I had an Iphone 3g before this and it froze up and crashed alot. I haven't had any trouble with my Samsung Focus. I would recommend this phone to anyone.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, great camera
I would recommend this to a friend!
