You have to sync with Zune, and then upload using computer.įirst thing I wanted to do, was check out this “Marketplace” that everyone has been talking about. One thing that makes me a little upset is the lack of ability to upload videos to the internet from the phone. Camera app allows you to upload directly to Facebook, even add a caption. Both picture quality and video quality is AMAZING. It even added all my Facebook contacts to the phone’s phonebook (I wasn’t so hot about this, but disabled it later). The phone interface was a pleasure, the “People” interface was a pleasure, and pretty much every single little feature that this phone shipped with was a pleasure. I immediately was comfortable with the phone.Īfter I was done configuring the phone, I went ahead and started to play. I actually configured so much, that buy the time I was done I felt I became an expert with the phone usage. I did this with absolutely no problems and had the device completely configured to my liking, even with absolutely no experience with the phone. I have NO complaints when it comes to general usage.įirst things first, I went into the settings menu, and tried to configure pretty much every setting I could. The menu’s, tiles, and all usage of the phone pretty much glided as smooth as could be. I don’t like using cell phone providers proxy’d internet, so I pay for the “VPN” option which provide me a real external IP address on the internet, configuring the apn “” was simple, and I didn’t have to go fishing through the menu’s.Īs soon as the initial configuration was done, WOW. I activated the phone with my Windows Live account, and Facebook details. The initial configuration was very easy and friendly. Simplistic, and thankfully I didn’t get the “I’m missing something” feeling I get when I usually receive new toys.Īfter popping in the SIM card, battery and plugging it in to charge, the phone turned on. When receiving the phone, I liked the way it was boxed, the material that came along with it, and the general style of the phone itself. Rogers, had a limited web release earlier this month, and due to the condition of my previous cell phone, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to upgrade. First the simplistic yet powerful functionality, the capabilities, and main reason being Exchange Push (Outlook Mobile). In the past, I’ve been an almost religious user of Windows Mobile Device.

We’ve long awaited the new release of the next generation of Microsoft’s mobile operating system platform, Windows Phone 7. A new device that I’ve been extremely excited to do a review on is the new Samsung Focus.
