An excellent phone! Well built, responsive, beautiful. Windows Phone 7 software sings, Super AMOLED display is brilliant. A nearly perfect phone! Well worth the price, the contract, and the wait...

Durability

I purchased a bike mounting bracket from Arkon. On bike ride the phone ejected at 25 MPH and I watched it skid across the road in front of me. When i picked it up I was expecting to see a damaged screen and find pieces falling into my hand, however it was still working fine.
The second time I was going downhill at 35 MPH and the entire caddy released from the mounting bracket. The phone when bouncing over the bridge hit the metal post and down into the weeds. I figured it had to be shattered at this point however when we finally found it the back cover was off but the phone was still working. No damage to the screen just some scratches on the case.
I did have a screen protector on. Very impressed with the abuse this phone has taken.
Samsung if you need someone to help stress test your equipment I will be happy to help.

Perfect Phone for Any Student
on June 16, 2011

I am a high school student in Chicago and can say this phone has helped me a lot both academically and socially. The Windows Marketplace has quality apps for school (like Arkwords) and great apps for social use (A great Facebook app, not to mention the great Facebook integration directly to the phone). I highly recommend Windows Phone 7 to all my friends/family. I could have gotten the iPhone 4 or aqn Android phone but they look and feel the same across all models. Windows Phone is something different with great potential. The phone itself is lightweight, super responsive, bright, and the camera is one of the best I have used on any phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Always in "FOCUS"
on June 28, 2011
Posted by: Mook55
The features of the FOCUS are just fantastic. The apps (so many of them) that I have put on the phone are quick easy to use and best of all easy to see. no tiny little faded screen, nice crisp clear viewing. The keyboard is so clear no issues when typing (even if you have big fingerer's) speed and battery life will last all day even when using apps all day or internet and so on it just does not quit. For the minimal cost of the phone I would recommend it to anyone, Heck I'll get a new one if they ever change the style or upgrade to new physical features.
All I can say is well done SAMSUNG

Best Phone I've owned bar none

This phone is very sleek and light, and feels good in the hand. The 4" AMOLED screen is bright and very vibrant with rich colors. It blows away anything i've seen from the other smartphones hands down. Also, the Windows 7 OS is awesome! It is very user friendly, and has great features. Much better in my opinion than the Android OS. I love this phone, and it is another great Samsung product. I highly recommend it!
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
