Well rounded phone

The Focus is a great phone in my opinion. I'll start with what I think are the downsides to the phone. The first is battery life, which goes quick with extensive use of this phone. The most I have gone with this phone before charging is two days, with minimal use.(ie. checking a couple of emails, making a couple of calls and texts) But, with the applications that are on the market today, battery life tends to go quickly with many phones. The other downer is the Zune marketplace compared to the Android or Apple marketplaces. I'm hoping that this is only a temporary hindrance though. With an increase in Windows phone popularity that is. Upsides to this phone, far outshine the two negatives. The sharp display that comes with the Samsungs' AMOLED screens make it well worth it. The layout of the phone is enjoyable, having everything laid out in a large box setting, or the smaller listed icons is a great choice of options. Camera quality is pretty good, especially being that it is just a phone. Phone response to user actions is spot on. I have yet to have any issues with the touchscreen interface. I could go on, but in order to find out if this phone is truly for you, get out there and try it out.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: short battery life, smaller app marketplace
I would recommend this to a friend!

...From a constant phone upgrader

I don't have anything negative to say about this phone or the Windows Phone 7 OS. I update phones every year, sampling here and there and everywhere. Since i got the Samsung Focus, i really haven't felt the need to upgrade. So many hot new phones are coming out all the time, and i always think about upgrading, but then i think, well, i still really like this phone so why upgrade...? Can't say that has ever happened before. I switch my sim card every now and then to my Palm Pre Plus or my into old Nokia or into one of the many other phones i still have around, but that usually doesn't last more than a day or two.
If i did upgrade, it would be to the Samsung Focus S b/c it has a little better and bigger screen, or to the Galaxy S2 - which is still the same phone but with Android OS-, or to the S2 Skyrocket.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
