Get the 900
Like Winterfang stated just a couple of posts up, the Focus S has the better screen.
Of course this purely from a specifications standpoint; I have not handled the Lumia 900 yet.
The Focus S has one of, if not the, best screens of a Windows Phone right now. I can say with great confidence that it is better than that of the Titan (although the Titan's is very good for an LCD by HTC). The initial screen debate between the two devices had to do with the S's screen brightness overcompensating for ambient light, and the extra setting adjusting the display intensity when viewing a page with a light background. This certainly was an issue when first released, but several updates have been pushed out for this, and the display is now incredible!
Nope. Don't get the Focus S now. I am very happy with mine, and am only upgrading to the 900 because it will only cost me a hundred bucks, but I do feel that the 900 will be the Windows Phone to beat this year. It does have the same basic specs, but the addition of the LTE radio, coupled with the gorgeous head-turning design, bring it up several notches. I don't often tell people to wait for a device, but in this case it seems rather easy to justify.
One more thing I wanted to compare: Which phone has the better screen? Brightness, color accuracy, etc?
AMOLED + Nokia Clearblack vs Super AMOLED plus?
I've seen comparison videos between the Focus S and Titan where the whites seem to be very blue on the Super AMOLED display, does the AMOLED display have the same problems?

So now that the Lumia 900 is looking like it will be released on April 22 do I buy the Focus S?
