brother best of luck and its a very nice cell phone ... but can you tell me why you are selling it and what you like in it . i am actually thinking to buy one

virtual_law (virtual_law) 2011-05-30 08:26:03 +0500 #3

loveshakeh,

There is nothing I do not like to be honest. On the contrary, I like this much better than the iphone. It is much more exclusive.
It ticks all the essentials, state of the art technology (Super Amoled 4" display, 1 GHz CPU), super O.S, build-quality, app store. Fast, instant responses to touch, multi-touch, efficient, limitless (except for flash) browsing.

The two really persuasive factors for me were: Support for extremely fast emailing (I can compose, attach a file, and send an email within 6 seconds), and Microsoft Office support on the fly. Additionally, it even backs up your important docs online (via Skydrive).

And as an added bonus, though wasn't really a concern for me at the time I was looking to get it, is the WOW factor. No one will ask about your phone if you have an HTC lying about but with this, you get curious concerns left right and center.

I bought it to replace my primary phone, which is a Blackberry, and it very nearly did, but I'm just a little uncomfortable chucking this about like I do the Blackberry, in the pocket, on the table, etc, which is why I'm choosing to share it instead. =)

But rest assured, I will easily buy this again in a short while.

I dont really agree to this comment !

Boredandalone (Boredandalone) 2011-05-31 14:19:44 +0500 #8

I have reviewed this phone a while back. Its f'ing amazing. If I had the cash I definitely would have bought it. BTW is it factory unlocked. And also if you can lower the price alittle, PM me your final price. I will see if i have the cash then.

virtual_law (virtual_law) 2011-06-01 03:03:46 +0500 #9

Haha, I'm merely comparing it to a Desire HD (a much more expensive option) sitting beside it as I write this. And I have to say, it leaves the Desire HD in the dust in terms of sheer desirability.

@usman_khwaja.

Picture on it's way. Sorry for the holdup.

@Boredandalone

It is the tasteful man's smartphone.

@virtual

ab desire HD itna bhi mehnga nahi u can get a phone and a charger datacable in 32k and both the phone are good at there own places they are not much comparable

More Pictures Added.

@ princesaquib,

The platform, features, and sheer desirability is what I was referring to. The Samsung trumps it in all respects. The Android has a tendency to slow down with time, with poor battery life as well, system lags, occasional restarts, etc.
The Samsung Focus has NOT done that once. I tested it with 2500 contacts, about 300 pictures streamed from facebook, several HI-DEF (running at 720p) videos, and about 150 threads of texts. It is still as fast as ever. And I know this because I also happen to have a Desire HD.

BoostZone (BoostZone) 2011-06-07 03:11:22 +0500 #13

then your desire HD must be a lemon, cause this is not what I say but is what the whole world is saying, wp7 is in no way comparable to android and same goes with the phones running both OS's

virtual_law (virtual_law) 2011-06-08 03:15:27 +0500 #14

Not really. I find the Facebook integration, the live Office on the go and the instant emailing MUCH more convenient than the Android. With time I know the WP7 will only serve me better.

princesaqib (princesaqib) 2011-06-08 08:35:00 +0500 #15

well its a matter of personal preference and i wasnt commenting on which device is good or which is bad it was just the price now new with local warranty is for 42k DHD thats the only point i was trying to make

Still up.

Great phone, great stuff like always man. Good luck with the sale

i like your sales skills become a marketing or sales major man - and like how you tie back the affairs back to your product ... love it ...

Honestly tell me - what will you be buying after selling this ? Are you going for IOS or Android now ? would love to know your answer ...

anyway for the sake of GK - some windows 7 advantages ( yes pun intended or may i say -tives) lets talk the base OS and ROM first - we all can update to newer OSes etc but we all know the hardware is never ready it always will lag out in performance if you go on updating the OS to latest available even though its factory OS.

No multi-tasking, results in lots of reloading…
No cut, copy, and paste as default on phone though you updated to NODO.
No direct syncing for non-Exchange Outlook accounts yet?
No custom ringtone capability as default
Limited customizability on Start screen
Lack of some key apps
Office apps are pretty limited in terms of what you can do from the phone
Inconsistency in auto rotation (especially lame with kickstand and then Zune always in portrait mode)
Lock into Zune software for PC connections (no drive or file access) - Hello i am so apple ?
Lack of tethering support
Lack of ability to capture screenshots

and yeah if microsoft bought skype - how is this the phone of the future? in my humble opinion how things are ... Symbian and Windows Phone is dead - it would take more than getting a cloud ready or doing all what competition is already doing to make it big.

MS has already shaat in thier pants in tablet/Phone market. Their only strength is clients OS. which is still stable and will take open or other OS time to catch up.

everyone already is working in and with cloud around the world how is microsoft buying skype be any different tell me ?

tell me something beside microsoft 360 against google apps stories because as of now thats the best they can do ? or partnering with a sinking ship in smartphone market (Nokia if you are still wondering) for new phones would ramp them?

i say it would need more than Bill Gates to make this happen - do you even know how many devices are using win7 mobile and how many are actually on Android ? Google around it will be a treat.

sorry i really dont want to be offensive but yes i would love to know how is this better so i get convinced on buying an Win7 based phone .. appreciate and thanks in advance.
