It feels less bulky and I like the power key placement on the side. There’s also a nice door to cover the mini-USB … Read more
Now that I’ve got a Focus in hand I can tell you I already learned a lesson in how to install a micrSD card in the phone. See, I figured I’d drop the card in before the first use, boot it up and voila. But nothing. Soft reset…nothing…soft reset…nothing. 4 resets and nothing even though … Read more
