Samsung Focus is a great phone.

The Samsung Focus is simple to use and very intuitive. It has deep features for me to dig into, convenient features for my wife to utilize, and ease of use that even my 4 year old can navigate thanks to Windows Phone 7. The screen is large and super bright, even in daylight where other phones fear to tread. The phone is almost weightless in hand or purse. The touchscreen is responsive even to light contact. Finally, the design is slim, sleek and modern. I was impresses enough to get a second one for my wife.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, windows phone 7
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good phone with a superb OS

I liked the design the first time I looked at the phone. It is sleek, light and big. The screen resolution is one of the great features of this phone and I think no other operating system would have made excellent use of this feature other than WP7. The OS is great, smooth, polished and darn easy to use. Looking forward for the updates and some good apps from WP7.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, good screen size
Cons: limited apps, battery

Overall a great smart phone. Only two problems I have. This phone doesn't give you any control over internet options and a lot of the phone's settings. Other than that, a great phone.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: internet options, phone settings

Favorite phone yet! As soon as WP7 as a platform matures a bit I think MS will be back in the game. Love that it uses Silverlight so many opportunities for developers.

Out of Focus

Samsung has created a beautiful phone. Vibrant screen, powerful processor, even suprisingly crazy battery life for a smart phone. The windows os runs smooth and is a totally different take on a phone, so i life my "fruit" phone behind to try this one. I've worked in cell phones for years, and i honestly love this phone. In no way do my dissatisfactions reflect samsung's design. okay?
Lets get to the pros and cons.
Lets get to the pros and cons.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, intuitive, quick charging, inexpensive accessories, powerful processor, excellent sound quality
Cons: the os maker promised pandora radio. :(, no customizable ringtones, fewer apps than most
I would recommend this to a friend!

The USB port should have been placed on the bottom near the mic. Its awkward charging the phone while talking with the port up top. Other than that the phone is a keeper!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight
