Yeah I was looking at Flickr photos and they looked real good. Still, as much as everyone raved about the iPhone 4 camera, I always felt that my Focus matched it in most conditions. I've taken some amazing shots and I'm sure the Focus S is going to take great pictures as well. The challenge is obviously low light, and I saw some bad low light photos from the 4s, so it hasn't completely kicked that problem yet. I'd say that the top of the line phones are going to be close on camera capabilities, at least to the point where it shouldn't be a deciding factor. I've seen Titan shots that looked amazing, and Brandon Watson posted a ridiculous Focus S shot as well.thirty said:

I think they really nailed the feel of the OS. The entire OS feels as satisfying as using the webOS cards. It just feels right. It's my favorite mobile OS by far. It really comes alive when you put in your credentials (facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).krypt0nian said:
i understand how you feel bro.krypt0nian said:
Unfortunately, unless your significant other or a family member gets the phone, you won't really get a thorough hands on. The phone comes alive when you sign in with your credentials and feels personal in a way others don't, but that won't happen on a store demo. The phones sell used for $120-$150, but I know that's not realistic for everyone just to have a backup phone. In that scenario, you would just swap your SIM out (with an adapter if you have an iPhone 4).krypt0nian said:
You can't really set up your facebook and IM services on a display device. You need to use the phone for a few days to really get to know it. Once you've bought it you're stuck with it for 2 years. When I played with Android for about 10 minutes I thought it was alright, but after 3 days I was so annoyed with the thing I gave it back to the friend I borrowed it from.brotkasten said:
i kinda feel the same. it always looks so good, but then i use my brothers phone i kinda get turned away. i am sure if i was using Galaxy s II or another phone like it, i would like the platform more.runningjoke said:

The text in the print ad is also pretty terrible ("it has multitasking! magic!"), but at least people will be more aware of the phones. Or something like that.Complex Shadow said:
again, you guys give "people" too much credit. people will pass by it going "oh HTC made its own OS thats nice :3" and why would you make a poster and not show the home screen. instead they show the multi-tasking screen. no one else will know that. microsft needs to find a way to consistent. they must show one screen (home screen imo) and never anything else.brotkasten said:
I think the multitasking screen sucks.Complex Shadow said:
its kinda the same thing. but without the zoom feature.brotkasten said:
Who cares about "wasted space"? Not everything needs to be filled and overloaded with information. Metro clearly shows that. Reminds me of the complains about the arrow on the home screen and how it should be placed over the tiles, so they could fill up the screen. Jesus.venne said:
