They get great reviews on cnet.com which I respect their opinion greatly, so that was my original reason for picking the Focus as my new phone.   I have a WP7 on ATT myself, and it is flawless. My fiance has a Galaxy android on Verizon, and it's complete crap. It's newer and cost more than mine too. But her screen always freezes, whether it's the internet or texting, or even sometimes the main menu screen. Half the screen goes blank sometimes and when she flips it on its side to get a wide view, it sometimes just doesn't work. I don't know if this is Verizon (many people I know have problems with them) or that particular droid, but she wants to switch to a WP7 and ATT as soon as her contract is up. The only thing that WP7 doesn't have going for it, is the massive amounts of apps that the others have, but it's getting up there, and it has everything I need, so I'm happy. The maps are also great on WP7, I just moved to a new area and use it all the time and it's flawless. My fiance's droid can't find anything, including where we are, assuming it even works that far. We've brought it into Verizon too, they say they can't do anything. Weaksauce.

Cool story bro. 

I love these stories. Nobody who has a Galaxy S2 phone has a big problem, and quite a bit of the trustworthy sites named it the best phone of the year( or the Galaxy Nexus). People are happy with it and sales show that. The only people not happy are WP7 owners. Thankfully there aren't many.

And LOL at waves comment as well.

I have an LG Vortex. Now, by and large this was a budget phone even one year ago when I got it with my renewed Verizon contract. With that said, the hardware itself is actually admirable and I rather enjoy it. However, the problems I've heard of other people having with their Android phones seem numerous, and I find myself sharing a few with them.

 

The most prominent is the fact that the system seems to, on occasion and not all the time, turn the screen off when I enter my pin/password. This isn't a hardware problem, it's definitely the Android system being bitchy. It's incredibly annoying because I have to restart the system to fix it.

 

Next is another occasional issue with entering my pin where somehow it stretches the vertical display like it was meant for horizontal; meaning there are numbers I simply cannot access when entering my pin. Again, requires a restart to fix.

 

I've had a few others, but I trust this will suffice. My point is that, this phone uses Android 2.2 and it has some pretty unsettling issues. It's not a gamebreaker, but getting these issues on occasion is rather annoying at best.

 

I'd rather not get an iPhone, so the only other option besides Android and iOS is Windows Phone. I got to play around with the AT&T one on display at a local Best Buy. I simply can't wait for my contract with Verizon to expire so I can get one. I'm not too big into apps, so I think a low priced Windows Phone that doesn't lag while using its interface like my Vortex will be great for me. :)
