Beautiful Design!

I have nothing negative to say about the Samsung Focus, nor the new Windows 7 Mobile OS. Everything has worked flawlessly so far. My previous phone was an iPhone, so I wasn't prepared to be blown away, but I am!
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, well designed
I would recommend this to a friend!

Blown Away
on December 11, 2010
Posted by: randyv
I was a little apprehensive about "stepping down" to Window Phone 7 OS and Samsung after having used my IPhone 3G for two years but I was absolutely blown away by just about every single feature. Although, I'm sure Windows Phone 7 will update some of the features that are lacking such as live links in texts and e-mails etc, there is one huge software/firmware issue with this phone which is that holding a button when the phone is off (in my case the camera button) will cause the phone to need to be reset, which may or may not work for some folks. It did not work for me and I had to get it exchanged. Beyond that, this phone is by far the most amazing phone I've used in a while. I underestimated Microsoft and the ease of use, compatability and synchronocity between this phone and Windows live is invaluable. A great partnership, well done!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: holding picture button error
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have been using my phone for 3 weeks now and wow. I am amazed at the quality of the hardware and software. It is really the screen on this device that sets the Samsung apart from the competitors in this space. I have frieds with the HTC and this clearly stomps on it.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!
