Best Windows Phone 7 on the market. I absolutely love it. 5 stars across the board except the "features" category gets 3 stars. The reason for this is the 8GB internal storage (they should have done 16GB), and they are making us wait for Windows phone 7 certified microSD cards to expand that (still not sure when they are coming out).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Is Awesome!

I pretty much love everything about this phone. I was easy to pick between the other windows phone 7 choices. The only issues are with the micro sd memory card and not knowing what will work or how and where to get the microsoft certified one. Also my contacts were a little scattered from the transfer from my other phone. I have not been able to figure out how to copy and paist also. The positives out way these minor issues though. Picture quality is amazing and the video is as good as my 1080p flatscreen. the phone is super easy to use and I can not believe how fast the internet is on it. Over all it is just AWESOME!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, fast internet, hd video, awesomeness
Cons: memory

I wanted a windows phone seven when i first heard of it a year ago, almost broke down and got an android instead of waiting but I am glad I waited. Between the awsome amoled display and the wp7 os it is the best phone out there.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

People have said doesn't have good battery. I read a lot of reviews on other smart phones, simply turn off the wi-fi when not in a wi-fi hot spot the battery should last all day depending on how much you use data.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, ease of use, super fast
Cons: no custom or downloadable ringtones
I would recommend this to a friend!

WOA...cool

i like this phone a lot. there are some things i would change:
1) Front facing camera. i like how the iphone4 and epic 4g have front facing cameras for self portraits, and i wanted one on this phone too.
2) plasticy build. this phone doesnt seem sturdy. i feel if i were to drop it, the phone might break.
3) i cant seem to save the settings. i take a lot of pictures with my phone, and i cant save the contrast and saturation to where i want them to be at. it just keeps going back to default, which i dont like.
4) needs more apps. i would love to have more apps on my phone, but for some apps like vevo and fruit ninja, i have to keep going back to my iphone to play.
overall this is a great phone!!
