My Focus Flash makes me happy every day I use it.

When it was time to purchase a new cell phone, I listened to Matthew's recommendation and bought the Focus Flash. This Smartphone is very user friendly and easy to navigate. There are 100's of fun free app's. I have downloaded only the one's I really need and use. Basically I love all the features on this phone. The camera feature is almost as sharp as a digital camera. I cannot say one bad thing about the phone.
This is a great phone, and the Zune/X-Box interface software for the computer works well, but when compared to the original focus the memory is undersized and it has no mass storage interface so it cannot be used to carry files from pc to pc or use software to transfer audio books from pc to the phone. The PC never actually sees the phone only the Zune software does and the Zune software isn't designed to handle audio book files or interact with sources for those books like public libraries.
I love this phone and especially the new Windows Phone 7.5 OS (aka Mango). Great battery life, bright crisp screen, and easy to use. The only issue I have is the phone freezing when I receive a text message. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it is a pain. Thankfully you can remove the battery to reboot the phone; however sometimes you lose the message you just received. Mango supports visual voicemail; however my phone carrier says this phone does not. I've seen that this is a feature of the phone on some other sites; however I did not see the feature listed on this site. Other than that absolutely love the phone and OS. I've been using an iPhone for over two years prior and definitely prefer this phone.
Cons: text messages may freeze the phone (small percent)
I would recommend this to a friend!

...is the sleek design...slim, light weight,easy to read screen.The easy to use camera, I take lots of pics of my dog so that was a selling feature for me!
It's super easy to use, they layout of everything is very pretty and sleek. I love the calendar and the to-do list, they keep me very organized. The only bad thing I have experienced is that sometimes the buttons don't work, and I get locked out of my phone. The only way to fix it is by taking the battery out. But other than that, best phone I've had so far!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: faulty buttons
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not a bad phone. I wish the occasional lock up issue when you receive a text message could be fixed. Other than that, the phone is great.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
