[quote name='benjamouth']What made you go for the Surround in the end Dallow?
I'm tending toward the Focus.
[/QUOTE]Just the form factor. Matter of opinion.
Screen is nicer on the Focus though.
[quote name='seanr1221']How do you like it, Dallow?
Im also leaning towards a Focus.[/QUOTE]
Hard to judge.
Pretty jarring after using an iPhone for 3+ years but easy to use.
Some nitpicks with contacts, but probably good for people who love Facebook.
Overall though, I really like the UI. It just needs to grow App Wise. Very few "polished" apps outside of Netflix, eBay, WeatherBug and the Live games. This is expected though, and it'll be fun trying them out as they're released.
It's a fun phone to use, I need more time though, only been half a day and have just started to get things how I want them.
I miss my little iPhone though. Gonna have to get that iPad quick to ease the pain.
Also, one thing I was worried about, I shouldn't have been.
The Zune PC software is a JOY to use.
It's nothing at all like how it used to be in that first year I had a Zune with Windows XP.
On Win 7 x64, it's super responsive and easy and clear to use.
And now that I set up WiFi sync, no more cables when I want to add pics and music.
I'm honestly really impressed with how far they came with this software.
It used to be a buggy, slow mess that crashed frequently. Now it's way faster than iTunes on a Win machine.
