Samsung Focus Review

[okusai3000]

Dude, you talk TOO MUCH :P

[Luger718A1]

This phone is on amazon for 212 O.O

[okusai3000]

@Luger718A1 yeah, thats very suspicious isn't it? .... :s

[sandiegoowl]

Kewl music.

[BjrDanceFreak333]

this was a run for my money, i could have gotten the iphone 4s. but i went with this instead, very dissapointed...not that it isn't a good phone, you can't customize as much, and half the apps they have for iphone they don't have for the focus... bummer.

[rolowserval]

@BjrDanceFreak333 apple fanboy detected

[JesseBochekTV]

One year later and the phone still kicks ass.

[Sexinessupreme]

Hi does any one know what "price range" this phone is in and other phones around that price?

[dkddbs1008]

@Sexinessupreme

With a 2 year contract or an upgrade in your at&t contract, the price is 50$-0.01$ depending where you shop. If you want a 50$ wp7 phone better then focus, get a focus flash which has a better processor and a rear camera. If you have a lot of money and want to get a wp7 phone, get the focus s. better proccesor display, battery, thinner, camera, storage.

[digd93]

Can I be able to flash this phone to cricket?

[volcommerce]

best phone out there !!!!!!

[lunchboxdell234]

The new Mango update is freakin incredible. Focus > iPhone 4S

[shishirdbhat]

Just ordered my Samsung Focus... so excited!

[3migo]

@shishirdbhat Only for the new Focus S to be coming out on November 6th.

[BAWUHAHAHA]

why do Americans think there is no "I" in "MOBILE"??

[oOBNOo]

@BAWUHAHAHA Why do British people think there is a "U" in "color"?

[meherdad]

@oOBNOo Because, they invented the language. You dumb fucking moron!

[oOBNOo]

@meherdad The way Americans speak English is actually closer to how the original English speakers spoke. You dumb fucking moron!

[deeindeein]

@oOBNOo The original speakers of english talked like this: Hwæt! wē Gār-Dena in ġeār-dagum.  Yeeeeah.... I don't see the resemblance. You dumb fucking moron!

[oOBNOo]

@deeindeein I was talking about the English we're familiar to. You dumb fucking moron!

[deeindeein]

@oOBNOo "We" is a relative term. And it's spelled *too. But no hard feelings, we're cool. Now let's move on and have some other senseless youtube comment battle.

[oOBNOo]

@deeindeein Actually no, I used the correct word. "Too" means "also" or "as well."

Maybe I should have said "with" instead but "to" makes more sense than "too." Get your grammar straight.

[JKDean]

@oOBNOo No "too" would have been grammatically correct in your previous sentence

[MrsRightForPrinceton]

@oOBNOo "dumb fucking moron?" I think you need a catch phrase. :D

[srabchun]

I got this phone today and am returning it tomorrow. Yes it has a pretty 4" screen but that's about it. I have no signal in my house, my old phone got 5 bars. When texting the send button is rite underneath the space bar so you end up sending messages before you want to send them. I had a Zune prior to me getting an iPhone and I loved it. On the Focus yes its visually appealing, but there are no audio adjustments for bass, treble, etc. Your choice for voice commands is "call" that's it.

[ChrisFrmDMV]

@srabchun And that's why you watch reviews before getting a phone you fucking idiot

[srabchun]

@ChrisFrmDMV And that's why they have a 30 day return policy you dickhead! This phone is a piece of shit. And how the fuck can a video review tell me that this phone is going to give me no signal in my house, whats your answer to that you fucking genius?

[ChrisFrmDMV]

@srabchun My answer is that if you didn't live n a fucking trailer park maybe you'd have a decent signal you broke bitch

[muscleheadist]

@srabchun LOL

[pabloww]

If I buy a Focus now will it come with Mango pre-installed?

if not, does the official update came for al the phones yet?

[bobby4500]

@pabloww

yes of course, all devices get the mango update

[TrickyEmu]

@pabloww Make sure to buy the Focus over Amazon. You can get an new off-contract, unlocked Focus for $250. This is ridiculous. If it's not updated you can update it any time now. I personally knew it had to be the Focus when I saw that beautiful Super AMOLED display.

[pabloww]

@TrickyEmu It's already been bought, from Amazon, at that incredible price =D still can't believe how cheap it was for such a great phone with it's specs. I'm getting it next week cause a friend is in USA now and I'm waiting him to come back, i'm from Argentina.

[pabloww]

Can you updrage this phone to WP7 mango???

[PumaJawz]

@pabloww yes

[hiphopperarsal]

I hope they release Focus S ASAP, I definitely am gonna buy that

and say good bye to Android until Galaxy S3 comes

[thainguu]

woww amazing smartphone!

[McMIxTER]

I bought Xperia arc instead of this and im soo mad that i didnt get this phone instead :(

[abhi110015]

damn, i ordered mine yesterday and i can't wait to get my hands on this baby! :D

[skmmania]

guys i want to knw tht d 3 soft touch buttons always vibrate on usage ...

can we make the vibration off for touch sensitive buttons....

reply

Thx in advance..

[CheerGurlMM]

I have this phone, and I couldn't be happier with it! I love it. :)

[sahil47]

@CheerGurlMM well i'm looking forward to get this phone.can u please state how long ur battery works with a full charge??

[CheerGurlMM]

@sahil47

Well, if you don't use it too much, it usually lasts about 2 days. If you use it a lot, then it'll usually last about one!

[sahil47]

@CheerGurlMM just got one on ur verdict cheers:)

[CheerGurlMM]

@sahil47 Sweet! Well I love it, and I hope you do too! ((:

[8747800]

how can u get ringtones on this fone?

[ericbc5]

This one or LG Quantum? I know this ones better but the Quantum's got a slide out QWERTY keyboard which I love on a phone.

[deathbatben]

@ericbc5 i thought about getting the quantum for that reason too, but i went with the focus and i love it. It's easy to type on.

[ericbc5]

@deathbatben Okay, I'll give it a shot. The typing looked good in the video, and it looks like a great phone. Thanks.

[JorJorArmany]

this or omnia 7? i'm still thinking

[daparkstaman522]

Im gettin this phone tomorrow, so happy!!!

[shelbyANDmadisonSHOW]

can you change like the tiles? say if i dont want the xbox live tile on the main screen can i take it off there?

[dbuck1395]

@shelbyANDmadisonSHOW yes. you can "un pin it" witch allows you to take it offand put it back on when ever you want

[Ilovebeyonce1988]

@shelbyANDmadisonSHOW Yes.... you can customize which tiles you want and where you want them. user friendly phone

[0heyitsjake]

I went from an iPhone to the Focus, and I am truly pleased. I love my focus, and it has made me see that the iPhone isn't the only good phone.

[JaleGaming]

@0heyitsjake I don't like it.. Every time I try to load the internet it takes FOREVER. But, when I use an Iphone it doesn't take long at all...

[0heyitsjake]

@JaleGaming

Really? Mine is so fast! And whenever I load a page full of GIFs, it doesn't even have problems. When I load a page on an iPhone 4s, the GIFs tend to not "work" as they should.

[sexyhispanic25]

@0heyitsjake Thank you! I think the iphone is soo overrated.. No one gives WP7 a chance.. I myself have the Samsung Focus and love it!

[0heyitsjake]

@sexyhispanic25

I actually switched back to an iPhone because I missed it. Haha

[bearhair500]

Ofcourse nowadays lack of social networking is a drawback. Pathetic, make some real friends. Awesome phone anyway

[unknowntbs]

I'm getting this phone :)

[scooterg234]

i need a favor i want a phone that has apps like a smart phone but i want a sliding keyboard is there a phone help

[leightonransome]

@scooterg234 Yes, there is a smart phone slider on AT&T called the LG Quantum. There is one on Sprint called the Samsung Epic 4G. On T-Mobile, there is the Samsung Sidekick. And on Verizon, you have the Droid 3! Hope this helped!

[theJAZOSH]

@scooterg234 yes. I think you should check out the HTC Mytouch 3G Slide. Good phone.

[405thcenterside]

I really like this phone, but the screen isn't glass :(

[JAYIZCHILL]

@405thcenterside the screen's made of "gorilla glass", so don't trip, it wont scratch or break that easy :)

[FarFromOver37]

@PhoneArena Can this phone be used on t-mobile?

[sexciiBitch1011]

So far I'm pleased with everything about this phone , I think I'm gonna get this one instead .

[BjrDanceFreak333]

Getting this phone In 2 weeek's ahhhh , cannnot wait <3

[lunchboxdell234]

QUESTION: With the 200mb data plan I'm getting with this phone, does that include the Xbox widget?

[chaparor]

@lunchboxdell234 yup yup

[pinksparkles2323]

@lunchboxdell234 yes it does :) i have the phone and it does on my phone

[BlackStar844]

linkin park <3

[billonicle]

2 spaces! ,greedy bastards

[wonderlustre]

@cooltechgeeks This one.

[uppeddoublea]

I have two questions, 1. Does it get angry birds? and 2. how big is the phone?

[donovancrenshaw]

@uppeddoublea yes you can get angry birds and it is a good size phone bigger than iphone but it is very sleek and has a large screen

[ddpunk123]

can you do signatures with the messaging? or is there a app for it or something?

[diegotorresnator]

My bro has that phone and it's not as great as my Verizon iPhone

[KiranStevens]

This guy has very soft-looking hands.

[lunchboxdell234]

Thumb up if youre watching this with your left hand/fist on your cheek/chin

[iamgayge]

@lunchboxdell234 Sorry.. I'm a right hand man XDDD

[lunchboxdell234]

@iamgayge Ahahaa alright man

[Escott013]

@lunchboxdell234 chin in my left palm.... xD

[SirenaParker]

@lunchboxdell234 OMG how did you know?! Haha.

[PLmikePL]

@lunchboxdell234 weird haha

[MrGoldenChariot]

@lunchboxdell234 nope on my turtle beachs

[VoltaicTorment]

@lunchboxdell234 wtf how u kno

[lunchboxdell234]

@VoltaicTorment Cause I'm Jesus.

[shaqkhi]

@lunchboxdell234 Lmao i honestly hate when people do this.. Thumbs up if your (Insirt shit here) but i've never seen this one before lmao that is funny.. back to leaning on my hand..

[lunchboxdell234]

@shaqkhi Same here, I just wanted to try it out, but thanks ahahahaha

[compelx]

[lunchboxdell234]

@compelx XD nice ahahahaha

[NickRoelsConcerts13]

@lunchboxdell234 HOW DID YOU KNOW....

[lunchboxdell234]

@NickRoelsConcerts13 XD

[devilmaycry316619]

Finally Sold my Iphone 4 and HTC Desire HD..

Waiting for Samsung Focus To Arrive :)

5days More for it :(

[DiogoBailao]

Im going to trade my galaxy s for this Phone

[MrGclef1183]

People need to understand that if you are an apple user where it's connectivity is seamless with OTHER apple products like iphone/ipod touch w/ the app store, ipad etc... and you switch to this phone you're going to have to install a windows phone7 connector and starting using zune, that's just the way it is. This is how microsoft keeps exclusivity, this is a great phone and a nice alternative to someone who doesn't want a droid on iphone. Cut and paste works now and works well on various phones

[ctoma96]

Can you videocall with samsung focus?

[bandcovers74]

@ctoma96 no you cant video call... but that would make it pree awesome

[Xxacp45THxX]

Im contemplating to get whether this or the iphone,Im leaning towards iphone because of the popularity and good feedback but I see this phone can do alot and is very reliable.

[ctoma96]

@Xxacp45THxX I'm torn between iPhone 4 and this phone too! The only reason I'm still leaning more towards iPhone is because it has the front facing camera and the Focus doesn't :( I use my sister's iPhone to chat with my grandma so that's gonna be kinda hard for me to do if I get Samsung Focus

[juanpalomino3rd]

@hcrv25 YouTube gets better quality on wifi than it does on 3g

[TheStaticAge21]

@juanpalomino3rd - Yes, the video feed from YouTube is of lesser quality when on 3G due to the slower upload and download speeds vs WiFi.

[leightonransome]

Im getting this phone in a feww weeks when I get paid. I'm so tired of Apple's bullshit. I'm not a clumsy dumbfuck who drops their phone either, I was working on the sight, and it fell when I jumped down from the roof ONE FOOT from the ground and shatter the back. Fuck glass

[armyof2brothers]

@leightonransome ive dropped this phone like 10 times and nor cracks,problems,or scratches toatlly recommend it

[friesmadecheesy]

hells kitchen... lol

[ItsPartyPoison]

i love this phone. its so light. and pretty. love it

[feroz1212011]

i am happy for spending 20min 47sec of my life for a great review, thanx.

[HCRV25]

other thing,the quality of the videos on youtube is not the best,is there a way to watch them with better quality?

[gradxg]

@HCRV25 well i have the htc surround which is a windows phone 7 also and there is a specific youtube for htc and its 720p playback so look for a samsung youtube maybe?

[donovancrenshaw]

@HCRV25 lazytube youtube app!

[HCRV25]

can i watch live tv,like games or whatever on this phone?

[laohero1]

Iam geting this...Tradeing my Sharp Fx and money for this lol...

[vaporized1000]

The best phone ever made is..... samsung.... omnia.... 7.... nuff said

[beast1elsayeda]

descent :)



[MissRickiLynn]

should I get this? or iphone?

[Muamarz]

@MissRickiLynn Maybe wait for what the iphone has to offer so you can make a formalised decision. the new iOS 5 should premiere this june and subsequently, as rumours go, iphone 5 would be released later in september. Wp7 phones in terms of apps aren't up to App store/android but in the near future they definitely will be. so i would say just wait lol.

[donovancrenshaw]

@MissRickiLynn this phone!!!

[8grace5813]

should i get this phone, or the lg quantum??

[donovancrenshaw]

@8grace5813 depends if you like a real keyboard or on screen keyboard. my brother has the quantum i have this phone they are both good

[ApG]

What's the best rez and video bitrate I should use when I rip a movie for the Focus?

[Ilumix234]

when is this phone gonna be in mexico :@

[MrDoodlebop69]

i don't get why people get so angry watching phone videos

[Ilovebeyonce1988]

@MrDoodlebop69 becuz ppl r crazy lol

[MrDoodlebop69]

calm down buddy

[andop92]

what about messages?

[ilovebloostuff]

does it have the android marketplace where you can download apps?

[xkrnbanditx]

@ilovebloostuff it doesnt have the ANDROID but it does have the windows marketplace which actually is surprisingly big. I thought it'd have like 10 apps but it actually has many many apps including the beloved fruit ninja <3

[yeti576]

@xkrnbanditx i just searched the market place and theres no fruit ninja

[NinjaEatingTaco]

@yeti576 There is. Either that or I'm just playing it

[donovancrenshaw]

@yeti576 there is fruit ninja

[yeti576]

@donovancrenshaw when i searched it in market place it didnt show up i found it eventually though..

[IBeDesireex3]

@xkrnbanditx NOOO WAY FRUIT NINJA<3 SWAG

[Cashman9899]

@xkrnbanditx thats all i need :D

[mrbrightside172]

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?

[furygoalbrtis39]

@mrbrightside172 1. yes

2. yes it will be here soon

3. yes

[xkrnbanditx]

@mrbrightside172 wifi works. 3g is optional

angry birds, fruit ninja, oh my. Sure just download the Zune software at their website

I cant answer the last one cuz idk ):

[donovancrenshaw]

@mrbrightside172 you still need data but it has wifi too

angry birds yes

sim card yes

[kawish33]

do u need xbox live gold membership for this? and can u talk to ur friends on ur xbox live?

[oOoAlanWaKEoOo]

WP7 FTW

[techluvr1234]

LOL, in the video it says "iPhone Becoming Pacifier for Toddlers" as a headline on facebook. Good description. And before the fanboys go on a rampage against me, I used to be one. No longer.

[ipod3755]

Whats up with the Xbox Live app. Can i play Black Ops on my phone ahahaha

[myst3rsmyth]

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!

[Jedimindtrikz]

@myst3rsmyth Then why the FUCK did you buy it then. You're the DUM ASS that bought it so blame your FUCKING SELF ASSHOLE. Again the problem isn't the phone its the FUCKING USER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1993superbeaner]

@myst3rsmyth What teh fuck are talking about i have this phone and it does not do what you said ur just a fucking hater

[jamescordeiro1]

if you get a basic plan how much is it per month

[c3vzn]

Wait why is your "Me" tile a black guy?

[missmathers21]

@c3vzn why do you care?

[rockbandwii6]

i have ths phone is cooooool!

[TheDanielsonBrothers]

To hell with Android, this is much better.

[nyle123nyle]

i just ordered this well my dad did cuz im a kid haha hope its a good phone

[Pisesd]

I've had this phone for 2 months now and I have to say. It's beautiful the hardware is awesome and Microsoft screwed me up the ass with the OS. Seriously WTF. Get an android guys, or an iOS, or even a symbian would be better than this. If you like your phone to restart all the time on it's own get this, if you like uncustomizable interface besides tiles, get this, if you want to be bored with your phone in 3 days, get this, if you like to have no Pandora as of this date, get this, also games WTF

[FreaksEntertainment]

Is that a gameboy color I see there? lol

[vidalmediainc]

@FreaksEntertainment lmaoo whoaa took it old schoool lolll

[duokid360]

Would you prefer this or the HTC Surround?

[Catracss]

LINKIN PARK FTW!!!

[foreveryoung2119]

so far no onee has been ablee too answer my question...

-I havee itunes am i still ablee too usee it too download music onto the phonee.?

[Icon228]

@foreveryoung2119

as long as the music is not protected by apple's drm, but regular music yes.

[kkjgg112391]

@foreveryoung2119 Just drag and drop the file stupid.

[foreveryoung2119]

@kkjgg112391 yeahh i got your stupid.! you didnt even anwser my fuckin' question dumbass...

[kkjgg112391]

@foreveryoung2119 Learn how to spell first dumbass.

Everyone knows you can download music from itunes even if you don't own an android or ios device as long as you have a credit card, itunes account and a comptuer, now to answer your question YES you can! STUPID

[foreveryoung2119]

@kkjgg112391 first off i did spell dumbass right and if EVERYONE knew how come no one replied too my comment on other videos loooong time ago.? it doesnt matter becuz i dont want this phone anymoree i want something better and you better not post any bullshit about me saying that anywayy.

[kkjgg112391]

@foreveryoung2119 Actually everyone knows, except you.

[EvilKookie]

@foreveryoung2119

Music that's purchased by iTunes could be only played on Apple products.

The answer is no.

Switch to Zune's software if you want to be able to sync your music to this phone.

[09FordFX4]

@EvilKookie incoreect, you can take the songs from itunes and use them on any mp3 player or phone that can play mp3's

[EvilKookie]

@09FordFX4

I really thought differently. Sorry.

[09FordFX4]

@EvilKookie no need to be sorry, lots of people dont know you can do it, or how to do it.

[nelmsy7]

i hate how u cant send videos
