Great Phone

This phone is awesome, I love it. Works great battery life is really good but for me wish it was better though. Would be nice if they sold a bigger battery separately like one that's about 2000 mah. Aside from that phone is sleek and looks great plus Windows Phone 7 is smooth and fast. I have great Xbox live games . Overall the phone is great.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

Samsung Focus is great!

I had been reviewing phones for a while looking for one that provides a great screen with a thin body and I certainly found it. I find it is built well and would recommend it to anyone. Since it is early in the Windows Mobile curve, I think more people will see the advantages of the Focus within the Windows platform as the new operating system shows its advantages. Again, great phone!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, clarity of detail

Still, I am very happy

I really love this phone. Comparing this phone with other phones I tried (I tried the iPhone, Blackberry, & HTC Android), I am sticking with the Samsung Focus. Windows has a couple of little quirks that I am sure they probably ignored thinking they could add later, which if fine, but that does not change my feelings about this phone. Very easy to use and awesome to look at. Crisp and clean screen with vibrant colors. Apps are getting better and better real fast. I have found everything I have needed to date. It seemed kind of pricey at the time that I bought it, but that's the same with everything new. It is still a great buy.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: the screen is a little bit quirky when on a call

Almost Everything I need...

Excellent phone. A step backwards as far as the camera goes - hope the next generation can compete with the C905 or the Satio. Windows OS is pretty smooth. Nice glitz that does not interfere with operations. Office Suite a must for me. Phone seems no more or less rugged than any other good phone today, but ergonomically it fits my hand and pocket very nicely. Battery life could be better, but I am a talker and I use it for my business ALOT!! The display?? All I can say about that is WOW!!! So Far... So good.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, good os
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very Pleased with my purchase

I never had a touch screen phone before, but after this one I'll always have one! The apps and features on this phone are user friendly and it has some very distinct funtions that my friends with iphones, are giving it a second and third glance. The only thing that takes getting used to is the sensitivity of the side buttons and how you hold it. A cover should minimize that problem.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
