Not the Focus S. It has a 4.5in screen. This is the Focus Flash for International.

Hmm, pen-tile matrix display

Super AMOLED or Super AMOLED +? Hope that it’s not the pentile matrix.

The first. Plus is only for high-end.

Pentile? goddamnit Samsung. I’d really liked to have the Omnia 7, because its sucha beautiful device, but after I saw the PenTile Matrix in action, I choose my HTC.

Why again?

I’ll have to wait for nokia :/

I dont know what you are talking about. The SAMOLED on my Omnia 7 is much better then on my SGS. So it seems that pentile matrix is better suited for windows phone then android.

Yeah, that is certainly true, mainly because the Metro UI looks great due to the high contrast levels of the display.

But when webbrowsing, the disadvantages of the pentile technologies are still visible. I am quite picky about those things, so it was a no-go for me.

Even the Nokia AMOLED display with CBD is a PENTILE matrix one, or so I’ve heard.

My Contract is due early next year. If Nokia messes up, this may well be my next WP7. The SAMOLED does give me some reservations though, as the screen may look too tinged with blue.

Only 8GB is a little bit on the low side, the other specs are decent.

8GB storage !!!! An no additonal storage. Is that a joke ?

I am fed up with all these underpowered devices.

http://fxfp.com/ Alex F.

It’s a budget device!

I am so glad someone else said it
ffs you take a look at the android camp, their budget devices have about 2 gig…seriously…
The job isn’t about the best device, and if it was, we would still be chugging along with winmo (and trust that OS would be in a similar situation android is in with a relatively poor ux/ui and grim user stories)

I would prefer a 2gig device, with an SD slot tbh…

SameerRamesh

+25GB on skydrive.

Maybe 8GB storage for wave 1 devices was okay, but and WP7 highend phone with only 8GB memory?!? Everything else looks fine….

Why can’t these companies give a 16GB+ option???
I ended up buying an LG Optimus 7 purely because it had 16GB, whereas all the nicer handsets only had 8GB!! I’ve got less than 2GB free so I just couldn’t live with any of the smaller devices. I would really prefer 32GB but that just isn’t an option at the moment

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_JFRSB7FFT2UK2MD4VIW7O5IRUQ kim

I bought the LG for the same reason. I needed 16GB storage, which is finally not enough for me (every user is different).
Since I need 32Gb and WP7 does not propose additional storage on most devices I will have no other choice than moving to another OS.
This is not a threat (MS does not care anyway), but the sad truth.
I cannot understand that in year 2012 (almost) some smartphone are still proposed with 8GB only and no slot for addtional SD card. Sorry, but this is not acceptable anymore.

Let’s hope Fujitsu Toshiba bring the IS12T to Europe sooner rather than later. The first phone I’ve seen with 32GB as standard. Some phones use Micro SDHC cards internally, so it’s possible to upgrade them.

I really want to use the fujitsu for he camera but otherwise the gpu is a bit underwhelming versus the Samsung variants which is a bit disappointing. Not to say that it is better than first gen devices (because it is) but it also begs for more/higher GPU.

I have been looking to buy the to-fu (Toshiba fujitsu) device but no international retails. Asked my friends in Japan and they said they’d get back to me

TV John

I’m under the impression that the current version won’t work on European networks, but I may be wrong.
http://twitter.com/domineus Malcolm Williams

If they take tmo US 2g that’s fine enough. 3g is a bonus but that’s asking far too much. Why the phone isn’t a worldwide launch is beyond me

http://twitter.com/Johannespreekt Johannespreekt

Nokia will probably come with a 64 GB device…N9 came with it so expect the Nokia 800 to come with that flavour too.

Microsoft should kick these fools out.. A 21012 device with 2010 specs.. Such a bummer

http://twitter.com/Johannespreekt Johannespreekt

Low budget device…

But it was Microsoft that set the minimum specs to begin with! If Microsoft wanted higher specs to be standard on all devices, they should have raised the minimum requirements. At the end of the day, the oem makes the decision to go with the absolute minimum.

First of all, anything with less than 16 would be worthless to me. I have 24 on my Focus and I have cleared out some junk but only have 7 free. I could work with 16 but I don’t want to as I take a lot of pics, have lots of music, not to mention apps and games. At least put in expandable memeory, sheesh.

This is just the Samsung Focus Flash for overseas. AT&T is getting the Flash so this won’t be coming state side.

i cant wait till high-end already i want the min specs to bump SOON not 5 years from now.
http://twitter.com/domineus Malcolm Williams

everyone, its a budget device, 300 euro unlocked and probably far less in a month. Windows is progressively releasing several budget and top tier devices creating different price points to permeate market and gain market share. The device isn’t for power users that want more from their devices than a budget device
http://www.facebook.com/people/Milad-Bazzaz/100000479683479 Milad Bazzaz

8 GB storage is not enough, even for non power users.

You can’t have enough documents, pics, music, apps etc.

If its for the entry market or high-end or whatever…if you want to save money, then add a SD slot so you don’t have to pay anything for storage…but at least give people OPTIONS.

Its dumb to say its 4GB (ZTE device) or 8GB and thats it, take it or leave it….thats bad business. Nice devices are getting crippled for no reason.

8GB is probably 10 times more than I use on my 2GB HTC Desire. Why do I want music on my phone when I can stream it? Why do I want to take crappy phone pictures, when I have a Nikon D90? Why do I want a phone full of documents, when I have a laptop?

Power users have the right “power” tools for the job, not a Jack-of-all-trades mobile phone, that doesn’t do any of them that well… and you can count all phones in that. Phone calls, MMS and email, and the occasional internet browsing… you don’t need more than 8GB for that. And if 16GB was enough for an iPad, then 8GB is fine for a phone.

Just because its a “budget” phone doesnt mean manufacturer cant allow the option for expandable storage; cmon people how much do u really think it cost them to make this phone -_-

Budget device or not, it only costs a few more bucks for a 16GB sd card, instead of an 8GB for them. It would appeal to so many more people if it had 16GB, and it could still be be a budget device and the cost wouldn’t go up at all.

Gah! 8GB! The rest of the specs are fine, but if Microsoft wants us to download songs from Zune Pass, download apps, and download podcasts we need more space! I’m already using 16GB on my Focus (thanks to an extra 16GB microSD card).

How much more does a 16GB NAND chip cost over an 8GB? $30? I’ll pay $50 more for the phone and they can keep the profit.

The omnia 7 today is 8gb only also, except in gemany it’s 16gb. I’d expect there’ll be a 16gb version of this one too.

Grr. No CDMA. Are there any new CDMA (Sprint, Verizon, etc.) Windows Phones announced yet? Nokia? Probably not, but they should if they expect the US to care about them.
