Its easily available for 12-13k, you need to checkout more offers @ebay for the same. Good phone with great camera but less no of apps and you will get bored soon.
If you are not apps freak, and can take risk to purchase phone for 12-13k without warranty, go for it. Else, you can lookout for various android phones in the same budget.

It's a great phone for the price. I got one on eBay 15 days ago for 13k using the Dusera offer (still waiting for my free SkullCandy headset gift).
Superb phone... But very few free apps... And side loading home brew apps is a pain. WP7 home brew community is decent, but as far as I know, there is no alternative AppStore like Cydia yet...
Android is better only if you are ready to use custom ROMs...
CyanogenMod Rulez!
But if all you will be doing is calling, texting, playing some games, listening to music, watching videos, browsing Internet, then this is an excellent phone. Few customization options, but excellent integration with Facebook and twitter...

How is the Battery life of the Focus?
Dose 3G works on that Cell sold by cell-force.in as in USA they USE 1900 MHZ frequency.
Are the Accessories Samsung original or OEM?
Which one is better cell-force.in or Cart2India??

@SwiftLover, I bought one from value4m. Battery life is excellent for such a large screen. It lasted me 30+ hours on a full recharge with light usage. If 3G or data is used heavily, then it would last less than 12 hours.
I have tested it on BSNL 3G network... It works fine.
I only bought this phone because it was a bargain. If I would have had to pay the full price (around 20k) for this phone, then I would have skipped it and instead bought a Nexus S...

Camera is good and speaker quality is ok.
If its v1.3 thn you can upgrade to mango, if its v1.4 thn you have to wait but it will also get the update.
Yes
I didn't get the seal box as the seller has to unlock the phone first.
coz its locked by AT&T which is sold for free in US. Those buggers stole the phone and selling it here by unlocking it.
Please answer the query Vardos
The UI is superb, no lags etc and speaker quality is great too. For camera, check above^^
I cant tell about vardos, but I purchased few days back.
Asking the same question twice ?

Internet is working awesomely... Its great...
Screen might be scratch resistant, but I don't want to find out any time soon...
Updated to Mango, performance is excellent. My only gripe with it is fewer apps and builtin features compared to Android.
A few things that I use regularly in my Android phone, but not available on WP7, come to my mind...
1. to transfer files like pictures, music, videos, etc, you have to go through zune software. Not plug and play like Android. That is unfortunate.
2. No Bluetooth file transfer allowed.
3. No Wifi or USB tethering...
4. Side loading is not possible unless you register as a developer, which costs $100... Other methods of enabling sideloading are too complicated for me...
5. Bing Maps is so wrong... The map is accurate but all the location names are wrong. So, its practically worthless.
6. No call blocker, no blacklist... I need it...
7. Android Rulez!
This is not the fault of the phone, only of WP7. The phone is of premium quality... excellent value for money...
IMO, go with the original battery. Its one of the most important components in the phone. Initially, my phone's battery life was very bad. It would hardly last 12-15 hours on a full charge. But after a few recharge cycles, the battery life has doubled...
Check out what features people are asking Microsoft to implement in the next update... -- Customer Feedback for Windows Phone

search for those terms in google. we can't spoon-feed everyone
@SAM-- i am asking you to spoon feed.. I am just getting the reviews from someone who has used the phone already .. also i read somewhere that there are app in win mob that allow to transfer files .. that's why i asked him ..
And everyone knows that we need to google to find things we don't know .. so no need to say that..

1st part : yes
For second search google.
Ps: I agree with Sam. You wont get such a beautiful reply for your queries like Androidfan did.
You asked your doubts about phone, we tried to help, but what is Wp7, what is tether and questions like this are easily available if you search.

@AndroidFan - Bluetooth media share between 2 WP7 devices is also not allowed? or between a zune running laptop and ur device?
@rohit18rs - not with ur friends who dont have WP7...(gotta confirm if its posible between 2 WP7 devices)
in simple terms, afaik, usb tethering is sharing phone's internet connection through usb connection and side loading is loading apps/stuff from devices... like a pc or another phone, rather than from the main source.. that is the market.
and dont take Sam's words to heart... He is right in telling so. There are forums where u will be trashed for asking such word meanings, which are there freely available in google. Its really a requisite in many tech forums that you should be aware of these terms before reading posts...

@Soumik,
Bluetooth file transfer is not allowed, irrespective of the device you have on the other side.
Just like in an iPhone, WP7 has these limitations...
Also, no flash support. No Divx support...
One day, WP7 (or WP8) would become great OS, but right now, it is mediocre...
