Samsung with WP7
on November 16, 2010
Posted by: NUGAmaan
Best phone design from samsung yet. Samsung Focus should be the Windows phone 7 exclusive design and phone. Samsung should be the primary manufacture of WP7.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: front face buttons to sensitive but ok
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best Windows Phone Device out there
on November 17, 2010
Posted by: Squeakycar
I love this phone. The Super AMOLED makes Windows Phone 7 look amazing. The phone is fast and the animations are silky smooth. I have no complaints about this phone besides it being a little too plasticy for my taste. I wish it felt a little more solid and durable feeling.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight

Best phone I've ever owned.

I bought this phone yesterday and have fallen in love with it. I've owned many phones in the past, but this phone beats them all. I traded off an Android phone (which I really liked) for the Windows Phone 7 OS and I haven't been disappointed. The phone runs so smoothly, I get a better signal in my house than I ever have with any other phone, the camera is good, the Super AMOLED screen is big, bright and vibrant, and the sound isn't bad either. The only drawbacks I've found is you can't have customizable ringtones (yet) but I'm hoping that'll change, and the problems with MicroSD cards, which I haven't even purchased yet for fear it'll crash my phone and make it unusable. Other than that, the features are amazing and the app marketplace has most of what I traded off from my Android. Netflix is great and runs smoothly and being a gamer, the Xbox Live integration is awesome. I can't express how much I love this phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, great features
Cons: no customizable ringtones, microsd card problems
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've been using iPhone for a while but when i finally upgrade my phone with Focus WP7. Wow. Nice screen and love the Windows Phone 7. It's more user friendly and love the constant update on you facebook, emails and contacts using live mail. The only thing which i hope it get resolve soon is the use of the micro sd. Moving and copying of office documents to your PC need to be included as well.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, amoled
Cons: battery life

Awesome Phone

Great design. Everything you need is right at your finger tips. The tiles update live so you know exactly when you have something new. It runs fast, haven't had any hiccups. The Xbox Live integration is awesome. The games are really cool for it and love how I can earn achievement from my phone. The touch screen is very nice along with the actual screen. It is so bright and vivid, its awesome. Everything is very responsive. Was a little nervous with the on screen keyboard but it works great. If I made a mistake it just corrects it, i love it. If you were on the border about getting this phone, JUST BUY IT. You wont be disappointed.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast and very responsive

Very thin... even with a protective case. Screen is bright and vibrant.
Wish there was a front side camera. Only 8GB as oppose to the 16GB counterparts.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
