As a HUGE fan of the Samsung Focus S, which was the best phone I ever owned, I am truly cheering for the Neo to be the surprise hit of WP 8 devices. I want to see Samsung stay in the fold. The Focus was arguably the best of the Generation 1 of WP7, and I could make an easy argument that the Focus S was only behind the Nokia 900 in Generation 2 of WP 7. For the most part, Sammy supports their devices well and stands behind what they deliver.
Also, I just think the small but loyal Sprint army deserves a great device. From the loyality to the WebOS devices owners (Sprint had the largest, longest lasting of that group), to the way the EVO series launched HTC to respect, and of course the abuse the Arrive users endured, it would just be amazing if this took off and stunned Samsung, Sprint, and the experts all at once.
I am willing to bet this bad boy fits the bill of a great device. I am all in on this underdog. Hard to call a Samsung device an underdog, but I got the feeling Sprint isn't going to throw a ton of advertising cash at this or the HTC. Just want it to shut up some WP critics once and for all, including some of those in the Sprint and Samsung front offices.
