This is a superb phone! It is light, has a sleek design , and fast! I have been following Windows phone since it first hit the market. I was torn between Android and WP7, but in the end went with WP7, and I am completely satisfied with my choice. The interface is so sharp and easy to use. I felt right at home the minute I picked up the device. The 4.3” screen is bright and clear without making the phone a monster to hold in your hand or carry around in your pocket. For those who like to watch movies, the netflix app is far superior to it’s rivals on the iPhone and Android devises!
Pros: menus, games, camera/video quality, Wi-Fi capable, ease of use, good for texting, smooth graphics
I would recommend this to a friend!

I've had my phone for 2 months and my family is tired of me showing off. Thought about waiting for a 4-LTE windows phone, but I'm so glad I went ahead a got it. It is so fast for what I do with it. I love the integration with Windows Live and Skydrive...
Pros: tools, menus, games, camera/video quality, speaker, battery life, Wi-Fi capable, durable, ease of use, good for texting

Amazing (no regrets)

from Hargill, Tx
Having an iphone since the first generation, I decided to give this phone a blind try and I have zero regrets. Windows 7.5 make the IOS look very outdated and plain. The phone it self is incredible. It is very light and at times when I'm holding it I don't realize I'm holding it. The display's colors just pop out and the picture is just plain great.
Pros: menus, games, camera/video quality, speaker, Wi-Fi capable, durable, ease of use, good for texting

Good For People who love WP OS
on March 28, 2012

I have never really done a review before... But when switching to this phone from Android and previously an atrocious Blackerry Torch, I needa a new breath or fresh air and thought I'd be in love with WP7. I thing that attracted me to it was the live tiles and people hub. I loved getting and seeing updates from social sites right in my contacts app without having to go to Facebook, Twitter... Etc. I love the live tiles. I was in love with them for about a week but now they are just there and ive gotten used to them. Coming from Android I didn't wanna have to deal with adding widgets and live wall papers which trained battery constantly. That brings me to my next point... Batter life! Battery life on this phone is awesome! I can easily make it through and entire day with just one charge which I charge over night. Before using Andoird I had to bring my charger to school and barely got even 6 hours! Pathetic! Now with this I can easily make it through and entire day with pretty good amount of usage! (texting internet calls Xbox live.. Etc.) That's one thing that drew my attention to this phone was the battery life. So if you're looking for something where you constantly don't have to stay connected an an outline 24/7 (like Android) then you'll love this! Now when I first held its phone I felt like it was gunna slip out of my hands! This phone is sleek don't get me wrong. But if you have big hands then it's hard to keep a grip! Its so thon even thinner than I thought! So you might wanna get a solid case for some grip and protection! It does feel kind of flimsy but not necessarily "cheap like". But again a case could easily fix the being to slick/thin and flimsy feel in the hand. The camera is great! I've taken a few videos and some pics and no complaints! The front camera is above feature too. Also I do not like the Zune music player. I used the free trial and after it expires found out I has to pay for everything! What a waste! So I'll be sticking to iTunes for music. Was not satisfied with Zune and especially the music part. After my friend showed me their regular Samsung focus last year I knew I liked it alot but wasn't too sure weather it would be a fit for me. After having it now for about 3.5 weeks I would say it's pretty good if you like updates from Facebook and twitter and staying in the loop. Also if you're a fan of the big bolding headers... They're pretty nice too. I would say after a while I'm not as in love as I thought I'd be. Its a really nice OS, but kind of gets annoying sometimes. There aren't as many apps like on iOS or Android but the app market is growing. The games are just okay but hey I guess they're fun. Overall I would say if you love social networking then go with this phone. Its a media powerhouse! I enjoy texting but the keys are kinda small. I prefer keys such as iPhone. Also hopefully with the new Appolo update this year there will be more theme colors and customized colors too such as picking your own with a color wheel maybe. But I would say I will go with the iPhone next. Windows is nice but i think iOS is still leading the way with Android and WP7. don't get me wrong WP7 is still up and coming and mango is awesome. Just needs a little work with Bing maps and key sizes. Otherwise great phone. But i would have to say i might me joining Apple soon.
Pros: camera/video quality, battery life, ease of use
Cons: volume level, small keys, durability
I would recommend this to a friend!

this is my 1st phone like this. it has alot of great apps.
there is only one problem.........I dont know how to use any of them! the day I got my phone, my husband and I went out to dinner. When I got out of the car, I fell and broke 3 bones in my foot. While lying on the parking lot cement, I tried 4 times to call 911 and failed. My husband went into the resturant to calll an ambulance for me. I feel stupid. I own a smart phone, but Im not smart enough to use it. Also it would be great if they could make the numbers bigger.
