My officemate, Aaron, showed up late at work this morning with the new Samsung Focus. Today is the first day that we could buy Windows Phones to be eligible for reimbursement. I was going to wait, but particularly after playing with one last night in the on-campus store, I couldn't. Considering it's free, why not?
I headed to Redmond Town Center and got it in no time flat. He changed the registration in their system, swapped SIM cards, and off I went. The AT&T guy said that the Focus is far and away the biggest seller so far.
First impression: I love it. I've obviously seen the UI for a very long time now, but it's a totally different experience when you input a couple of accounts to the phone. Add Facebook and Gmail, and you've got a flood of awesomeness. Apps might be all the rage, but it blurs the line here given the integration. I mean, I had photos as soon as I put my Facebook account in.
Will write more after I've had it a few days, but I'm really digging it.
