Best Smartphone I have ever owned

Call quality is excellent. No calls dropped in almost one month of use. The AMOLED screen is fantastic and the lightness and thinness of the phone truly separate this phone from the rest.
The WIndows Phone 7 OS is very well done and lighting fast. I have recommend this phone and the new Win Phone 7 OS to friends and family.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: would have liked a little metal in the back cover
I would recommend this to a friend!

You can read plenty of other reviews to get what is awesome about this phone. Bottom line add flash and get the screen to rotate on the menus/ get the screen to rotate consistently when typing and this phone will be perfect.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, wp 7 os, xbox live
Cons: screen rotation, flash not supported
I would recommend this to a friend!

iDon't miss my iPhone! FOCUS WINS!
on December 5, 2010
Posted by: steviesamsung
Windows 7 is by far the best software experience available right now. I had an iPhone 4, which I bought on the first day they were available, and this phone is flat out better and more fun to use. Front facing camera is relatively useless without a platform that is more widespread, so I don't miss that. MS has a beta program that syncs with iTunes perfectly, and the battery life is great. As the software gets more updated with the little things, this phone will be out of this world!
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Not high def
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Focus is very fast. The screen is also very good quality and very accurate. The 1Ghz processor make things load quickly. The flash is also very bright and good in low light areas. Overall this is the best phone you'll ever use.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Lightweight, wi-fi, os, camera, hardware
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome device rocks Windows Phone 7
on December 6, 2010
Posted by: Joey101
from Seattle
Expertise:Expert
Pros: Windows Phone 7 is awesome, I learn new ways to do things every day. Some good apps for it and more coming every day. Light weight, feels right. Connection to Xbox, Zune, email, networks are a breeze. Music, video and internet surfing are first rate.
Cons: The memory card issue (should be handled by Jan. 2011). Buttons are very touchy, easy to push Back or Search not meaning too. Once I put a cover on the phone that helped a lot. USB connected to laptop charging is way too slow. Setting email polling to 1 hour helps save power.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, windows phone 7 apps
Cons: power consuption
I would recommend this to a friend!
