Samsung's Focus S is a superlative Windows Phone for AT&T. Nearly every feature performs flawlessly. Find out in Phone Scoop's full review if there's anything about the Focus S to dislike.

The Focus S is Samsung's best Windows Phone to-date, boasting speedy performance, a solid camera and of course Microsoft's Mango operating system. It also manages to fit snugly between the HTC Titan and Focus Flash in AT&T's Windows Phone lineup. Is it the Goldilocks of Windows Phones?

Android option?

When will there be an Android option for this phone? Seems like a waste to only provide WP on a good piece of hardware...

Totally agree. WP7 is such a hard sell anyway. No one wants it.

The Galaxy S II for AT&T is essentially an Android version of this phone.

WP7 is so hideous

It literally hurts my eyes looking at it. Those big a$$ fonts and then sometimes the words overlap to the next screen. Ridiculous! Then those ugly square tiles all one solid color on a plain black background. Yuck just yuck!!! Metro UI is the ugliest, most dull interface I have ever seen on a smartphone. WTF was Microsoft thinking. I just can't get over how ugly it is SMFH!!!
