I recently got a Samsung/Windows phone after my old -- very old (but easy-to-use) RaZr got wet and went south. My only requirement for the new phone was that it had to be a Samsung and it had to be free -- no exceptions.

I walked out the door with a Windows Phone.

I like it I guess.. Wasn't sure I would, but I do. It's stable, holds a good charge, and is reliable. I deleted every icon from the main display, except two -- Voice and Messaging. Everything else is on the menu. Access is easy. Call clarity is good and the features work fine.

My main complaint is that I had to setup a Windows Live account to manage my contacts. I'd rather just plug it in to my computer and be done with it locally.

Am I Windows brand loyal? No. But I have had no issues whatsoever.



You don't necessarily need a Windows Live account, it works with Google accounts just as well.


The rep led me to believe that was my only option. So thank you. I'll try my G account.


Was that a Focus Flash (US) or Omnia W (EU)?


Focus Flash (US). Has a red Case-Mate case. On sale for $5. I've dropped it twice without issue.
