Review: Samsung Focus with Windows Phone 7

Is It Your Type Body The Three S's Touch

The Samsung Focus is among the most sensitive touchscreen phones I've tried. It reacted swiftly to every tap and swipe. Even the slightest brush produced a fast action. This is great, because the Windows Phone interface relies on a lot of swiping left and right. The touch sensitive keys below the phone's screen were also nice and sensitive. I'm usually not a fan of touch buttons, but these gave me no trouble, and a light haptic kick let me know I had found the right spot every time I tapped.
