  • @iShowYouGamesAndTech I bought the Samsung Focus on craigslist for $125, ATT activated the phone with my existing go-phone card. The phone has wifi but since I am on the go-phone plan (pay as you go) I am not required to have a data plan.

  • I get this phone tomorrow

  • honest opinon, the samsung focus is a terrible phone. theres nothing much to do with the phone. iphone is way better. connected with itunes which is so much better. no apps for phone all games are terrible. but the phone is fast and camera is very good. but the worst 250 bucks i have ever spent. got it the first day it came out

  • @MrSmyd15

    "apple,itunes,games on phone"......everything is clear about you :D

  • so got this phone yesterday and i went to marketplace to get a youtube app it said to wait a while and check in later so i waited till this morning does anyone know y i cant get the app?

  • Couple of questions

    When you buy this do you have to pay for the internet like the iphone or can you just use wifi?

    Can you buy games like Angry Birds?

    Does this take a normal Sim card

  • @mrbrightside172 im pretty sure it has wifi, but a data plan is mandatory

  • getting mine tomorrow

    SO STOKED!

  • @sharkchompface ME TOO haha i missed the delivery guy but im picking it up from the apt office :-D

  • @sharkchompface ME TOO@!!!!!!!!!!

  • Phone prices have been dropping all the while! When this first came out it was $700 with 2 years plan but now it's sgd$98 with 2 years plan, free 12GB of local data!

  • IM GETTIN MINES 2DAY!!!.lol

  • How much is this phones data plan?

  • @blueteam796 the mandatory data plan is 15$ a month but u can get it 25$ for 2 gbs of data per month

  • iOS and wp7 are both very good operating systems for a mobile device. the reason most people prefer iOS and the iphone is because it has been around for a very long time. However, don't you think the iphone's operating system is getting a bit old? the same 4 by 4 icon layout gets boring and boring-er every time i see it. the reason i prefer wp7 is because it is fresh and looks appealing to the eye. The new and creative software built into the wp7 really catches people's eyes.

  • Is there anyone willing to sell one of these.?

    

  • is the zune pass worth it

  • I have t his phone!!!!!!

  • iphone is much better

    

  • @killzonerz45 thank you for commenting such a biased and unjustified comment. The world is now a much better place.

  • @killzonerz45 how ignorant

  • Let me say a few words about this piece of DOGSHIT called the 'focus'. #1. I don't want a fuckin device that attaches pics or other information to pirated music I put on my phone. #2. I dont want a device that erases things I've put on it when it "SYNCS' to my pc when I plug it in. FUCK YOU Samsung for taking control away from the consumer. Im gonna return your DUMBphone in fuckin pieces!

  • @myst3rsmyth You mad bro? You should do some research before you buy a phone.

  • i think this is the sexiest smartphone i have ever seen and used..

  • i cant send picture mail and it wont let me open it...can some onehelp me with this problem

  • My old phone could save the music off text messages or they (att) like to call them multi media message but this phone can't? Sucks!! But I still have to pay for a media plan? Sucks!! They all want to make there money off us Samsung,att,and windows, Sucks!!

  • This phone sucks!!!!!!!!!! I have it and my old phone did things that this phone won't . Focus can take video's ok good but it can't send them in a text whats the piont.

  • have the phone great alternative for the iPhone

  • without even thinking o noticed my last 3 phones i had were samsung and they were great so im thinking im gunna get this tomorrow

  • HELP! Im going to get either the Samsung Focus, LG Quantum, or The HTC Tilt.. but cant decide heres my question the main reason im getting this phone is because of the built in Zune player it has i was wondering which phone i should get and which phone can accept a 32gb SD card for all my music thanks..

  • @BradfordHendricks Calm downs dude, they are both good companies, as well as Sony, Panasonic, LG, Dell, Google, GM, Toyota, Hanes, Calvin Klein, DeWalt, Nike, Reebok, Ford

  • when you make a call with this phone is the screen supposed ot stay completely black?

  • Windows Samsung Focus, i have this phone and is one of the first with the 4" WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen display, AMAZING!!! no LED screen can beat this, really fast, and there are apps been uploaded every day, i love this phone in general, specially with the 720p HD video recording, great way to watch Netflix and othe types of video as well as Youtube, but most of all i am amazed about the screen, no other phone's screen can beat its amazing display (go to an AT&T store and try it out u'll c)

  • ive had some bad experience with Samsung phones... Impression was a crappy phone... But when i got this Samsung focus, i was shocked to see how stylish, thin, and immaculate it is!!!

  • anyone know if this phone has a yahoo messenger on it? or app for it

  • Also u cant add your own ringtones. Or bluetooth ringtones. None the less. Awesome phone. 

  • I bought a Focus and I love it. However there are some problems with it. SD card problem, Zune glitches to where it plays no sound even tho the sound is turned up. To fix that I took out my SD card and it somehow filled up all 8Gbs that the phone had. Put the SD card back in and it works. If u buy this phone, be careful. Its a awesome phone but can be a real headache.

  • if you have an iPod touch already, you're already gonna be bored with the iPhone and that is a fact. Go to the store and use this phone & then use the iPhone & your going to see how boring the iPhone gets...

  • Would not recommend this phone. I'm on my iPod touch on YouTube simply because the windows phone is incapable of playing videos on YouTube. I should have gotten something better. Also the keyboard can't keep up with my texting and it doesn't register half my buttons I press. I hate 2 year contracts

  • @LokiTheSinner What are you talking about. I've got a focus and watch YouTube videos all the time.

  • loks thinner than i phone good job boys

  • I like it. But now I'm kind of used to the extremely sharp resolution on my iPhone 4. If WP7 comes out on a higher res screen phone I'll switch.

  • i think the windows os is so sexy

  • SAMSUNG IS THE BEST ELECTRONICS BRAND ON EARTH.

    BUY THE PHONE

    BY THE LAPTOP

    BUY THE TV

    YOU WILL BE SOOOOOO HAPPY WITH THEM

  • @flip92 nice name

  • @flip92 hell yeah, i've bought a couple of TVs from them, both the old 32" one i used and the one i'm currently using (40" series 7 3D LED) have been superb. I have a samsung monitor for my PC, and my next monitor will definitely be samsung, maybe even the series 9 monitor they announced :P i'm looking forward to their next lineup of laptops, the ones with Sandy Bridge, and I'm looking at buying the Omnia 7 atm. lovin their products. reliable, good value, and beautiful.

  • @flip92 no no no no , Apple is

  • @flip92 True say, bro.

  • @flip92

    I don't know about Samsung Laptops, I've been using Toshiba and Acer, but their TVs are awesome!

    I've never really liked Samsung phones, but since I saw the Galaxy S my respect for Samsung went sky-high.

  • @flip92 i know right? i mean ive never heard of any bad thingz about samsung or apple.but apple is kinda boring

  • @flip92 lol you gotta agree :p

  • @flip92 im not happy with my samsung tv

  • @flip92 Wrong.......Sony Is best!

    Buy the Phone

    Buy the TV

    Buy The Play Station :D

  • @flip92 Company loyalty is stupid, especially when it doesn't reward you. Just buy what you like best. Why the fuck would you care who made it?

  • dude i played with this shit, COULDNT PUT IT DOWN, then i played with the iphone 4

    BONER KILL

  • @idkmyuser1 lol I couldn't agree more :D

  • @rubenmorales19 hahaa its just fantastic :)

  • @idkmyuser1 lol my bro got the iphone and i got the focus for free he wants to trade now lol love this phone but how do you buy ringtones please help i just got it 2days ago

  • man screw iphone this phone is wayyyyy better

  • I really don't see what people have against the iPhone. Seems like when something gets more and more attention people who don't have it tend to 'hate'. Maybe they don't want to see Apple at the top of the cellphone market. I'd pick an iPhone over this anyday, because it is best 'FOR ME'. It's simple and user friendly, offers a bunch of features, and hello front face camera. Before you continue to rant on about your hate for the iPhone remember that you're talking shit about a phone..lmao.

  • Got this phone a few days ago, and wow, what a superb piece of work. Very quick, does everything imaginable, and the screen is just awesome.

  • I work for AT&T, so I get to use alot of different phones. I was using the iPhone 4, now I'm using the Samsung Focus. I hate the Focus, I miss my iPhone. The focus is a very boring phone. When using scrolling or selecting something almost always there is a delay. The apps available in the Marketplace are garbage. I use Facebook and Twitter quite frequently and it takes forever for them to update when you are playing around with the apps. GARBAGE!

  • @cherry39117

    Lier if you work for att you would have a android. Android is what all workers that work for a cellular company would have.

  • If you have no friends, will they show pictures of people you never met but they're your friends just to show off how social and cool you are?

  • Damn. Windows 7? I don't even want to consider this phone in my "Which one to buy list". Anything operating windows is a no go for me.

  • Got one of these a couple weeks ago and it is simply fantastic.

  • LADY GAGA!!! AWESOME!

  • I dunno why but I want a windows phone more than the iphone or andiroid I used to be an iphone fan well im still but i want the windows phone

  • is this phone only sold in America ?

  • Newegg.com is offering these for free with a new contract, and, for existing AT&T customers who want to extend their contract for another 2 years, $29.99 as an upgrade. :)

  • show me what the damn keyboard looks like!!!

  • @TheArtChaser this specific one has no keyboard

  • Do u haave to have the display like a list or can you change it

  • I want this phone but am not up for an upgrade yet. If it eventually hits around $300 off-contract I will snap it up but $500 is just a bit more than I'm willing to pay for a phone.

  • U: :o

    I want that phone!!!!

  • cana i buy this now because i cant find it anywhere on the internet and also how much is it ?

  • @mrawsome52 if u have att&t only $99 with a 2 yr contract...i just bought mine! xD

  • @blissfulmemories01 Mine costed 30$ at WalMart with my upgrade :D

  • can this phone get apps

  • @gutarlozer4 yes

  • I understand. WIndows are trying to make life 'easier' but really, I liked it when it was complicated.:) Wasn't anything wrong with it but still the phone looks sweet and fun. I'm sure they'll make settings and stuff but to be fair it isn't a major problem. Atleast it wont give me too much lagg or crash. I hope.

  • this is stupid they try to go to far its retarded i just want to see my contacts phones not all fuckn facebook and twitter this is just \so dumb so you can run and tell that homeboy!!

  • @bonds911 Fine but not everyone is like you. Whats wrong or 'retarded' about having it? Apple Fanboy much?

  • @Slendertouch no i never had owned any apple i prefer the blackberry thats what i own but i love the new dell venue pro sadly it has many problems like fucked up picture taking and many bugs but hopefully the second version fixes that . im just saying that it sucks if its a phone i only want my contacts whos phone numbers i got not all fuckn facebook and twitter right i hope windows 8 fixes that aswell

  • So if the phone is automatically getting all the pictures from facebook, skydrive, etc, won't that burn through data usage really fast? Or does it only download them when in wi fi?

  • @Va11e

    I presume you can switch off data transfer and roaming, so that only Wi-Fi connectivity allows for data transfer, as implemented i Android.

  • wow this is like my dreamphone but being 14 I don't exactly have a job to get it... damn

  • I have had an iphone since last January and have had no problems with it. But then I dropped it and the screen shattered and AT&T couldnt do anything about it. Pissed me off lol So I added another line, got this phone, suspended the iphone account and this phone is WAAAY better on SO many levels. I love it.

  • WP7 next time for sure!

  • How come in the US all the best phones just happen to be available only through the worst carrier? AT&T sucks!

  • this is not an eye candy but i like all the specs

  • y many people hate iphone?

    bcoz dey can't afford it! =))

  • @hardrive28 Or maybe they just hate Apple. Maybe they don't think that the iPhone is the coolest phone. I think you're a kind of person that likes things that are expensive and like to brag.

    Microsoft FOR THE WIN!

  • ughhh. i waaaaaant it. but i'm still stuck in this shitty 2-yr plan with my iphone.

  • I really want this phone. I've used it and I like it a llot more than the iPhone. But all of my music is on iTunes cause I really dont like zune music marketplace. What would I do about that?

  • @KBROCK3R get an ipod touch plus another phone

  • @KBROCK3R if you have a windows os on your pc/laptop (not sure about mac) but your itunes files are saved in a folder that you can transfer to zune software and snc with the phone

  • Need help witht his phone. Just got it today

    When ever I try to install a game it says

    Cant get this info right now. Check back in a little while

  • i love this phone, my sisters decided to get the iphone 4s, but i decided to get the focus...greatest decision ive made...btw..does anyone know what kind of headsets came with the focus, they beat the iphone headset by far, i want another pair...

  • witch one is better the samsung focus or the htc surround? plzz help me

  • @Franks911 i got the focus. it has a better screen and i think looks better

  • @Franks911 the screen is better on the samsung but the caracteristics are the same

  • @Franks911 it depends the focus has a larger and more vibrant screen the htc surround has better audio quality i personally havent ever had the surround but i currently have a focus and the only thing i dont like about it is fact that it dosent have a physical keyboard im not used to the on screen keyboards but i got used to it the camera quality is FANTASTIC and the screen definatley has a WOW factor

  • Love it, but I'm sticking with my iPhone 4!!!!

  • Just got this phone. love it the one thing i would like to know can you make you on ring tones

  • @ajonesy04 search how to jailbreak your iphone then go to cydia, after jailbreaking search ringtones

  • @ProjectCoDshots does that work for windows 7 phones. i do not have a iphone i have this samsung foucs

  • looks so cool, definatley better OS than iPhone, but not as advanced with technology!

  • IT LOOKS SO STYLISH I JUST WANNA GRABIT AND HUG IT AND START MAKING OUT WITH IT

  • Is this a good enough music player to replace my iPod? Like at least 4g for music, decent quality, standard headphone jack, and syncs with iTunes.

  • @OriginalOutlook its got a great music player, but you might want to get a bigger SD card. i think its only like 8 gb coming with the phone or something like that

  • @senorseis66 Isn't the 8GB internal? That means 32GB microSD for 40GB of total space.

  • @OriginalOutlook Don't think it syncs with iTunes. Syncs with Zune which is like iTunes but not as bad (still not that good though).

  • OMG how hard is it to go into setting and make it so the screen stays on.

    Seriously pretty much every phone review you see the reviewer is constantly taking phone put of standby during review

  • @pcalltheway1 is that why the battery life is rated as so good? Most smartphones [e.g. the samsung captivate] seem to have trouble with short battery life requiring frequent recharging.

  • I dont understand why everyone gets in debates over iphones and other phones.. once you close the labtop or shut off the monitor in the real world no one cares which you have. Actually most people do not know the difference between ios or i think the other one is gingerbread? Either way if you hate iphones shell out the money to get a diff phone or is it you cant afford to get either?

  • @pjanuary1 Apple as a company is just so annoying, and their fanboys are stupid terds. That's why people get worked up. And finally people outside of apple are innovating and it will either force apple to make compelling improvements to their products or suffer the consequences (hopefully the latter).

    Plus Steve Jobs is a douche.

  • @mpalm887 Yeah Steve Jobs is the guy that I hate the most.

  • Comment removed

  • is this in the line of galaxy s phones

  • @ave344 Not technically, but it's got similar hardware and design elements.

  • I really like windows phone 7. Samsung don't do well with the design I'ts always plasticy :/ they have the best screens and display and the 4" is a perfect size aswell

  • does this take video?

  • samsung focus

  • Which is better, this or the HTC Surround?

  • I just got this phone last week, and I have yet to learn how to download ringtones....do you know how to do it???

  • how come the youtube app on this sucks balls??

  • Beautiful phone, battery barely lasts 5 hours and that's before multi-tasking which is going to suck the battery even more...went back to Tmobile and got me a Blackberry 9780...Life is so much better

  • @aheller

    Did you set your phone to "push" thats what sucks the battery on any phone - except BB. Thats the only advantage of RIM.

    But for smart phones this wp7 phone kicks ass compared to others.

  • @aheller since when t-mobile selling this phone?? right now they r only selling htc hd7..

  • I can't wait to get this phone come Christmas

  • i'm still waiting to see a phone better then the iphone 4 and i think windows phone 7 will be able to do that in the future, but these phones aren't it... no front facing camera, no wow factor on the os, its smoother then android, less impressive then ios...

  • @hyperoptic904 I got this over the iphone 4. My father and my girlfriend both have the 4. Side by side, this phone definitely brings a "wow factor". Everything looks cleaner, works smoother and runs faster. The lack of forward facing camera blows, but the speech recognition is built in very seamlessly, and I actually use it quite often. There are some bugs to work out, but it's still new. Honestly, it feels just like the iphone 4, but a little more refined and ergonomic.

  • hey can you use this phone if your with tmobile? like how you can use the iphone with the tmobile sim card?

  • @19yearofthedragon dunno about the iphone with tmobile. I'm with A&T. But they sell Windows 7 phones for T-Mobile. Actually, I like the look of the T-Mobile Windows 7 phones more. I think I read the Dell one is sold for T-Mobile...it looked nice.

    I have an Iphone but this phone looks nice. I'm not into Facebook or Twitter or all that social media crap, however, so a lot of these features would be lost on me.

  • I think Microsoft and Android should team up, make a super operating system and just literally shit on iPhone iOS

  • @gman4eva9 i totally agree

  • @gman4eva9 thats a great idea thats the best thing i read in years. because i dont kno whether to choose from this phone or an android phone.

  • @gman4eva9 why you hating on the iphone

  • @gman4eva9 CANT google owns android and microsoft owns windows 7

    they both dont like each other

  • @gman4eva9 i know right

  • @gman4eva9 tumz up XD
