Howdy.
Bought my Focus on Monday, coming from a BlackBerry Bold 9700. So far, so good. I love it. Not entirely used to the software keyboard yet, but I'm sure that comes with time...
I have to say, getting this phone was ****. The people at my local AT&T store tried to get me to buy a Samsung Infuse 4G, or an HTC Inspire 4G among other Android phones, I can't stand manufacturer-designed overlays on Android like TouchWiz and Sense, and the lack of updates would just drive me crazy. Finally I convinced them that I actually knew what I wanted (imagine that...) and they let me have my way. Oh well, got the phone for $19 on contract (wasn't even an upgrade for my line, so I don't care, hahah!)
It's a rev 1.3 which from what little I've seen on these forums is a good thing...
The only thing I've not liked (okay, this is actually a huge deal for me) is the lack of custom ringtones....does anyone know if this is coming in Mango? I know you can do it with homebrew, but I'm really not comfortable hacking my devices.
Also, does anyone know if there are multiple volume controls? If I turn the volume up loud to watch a YouTube video with friends or something, why does my ring and keyboard sound volume get turned up really loud as well? It kind of makes sense, but it sucks to have to go up and down and up and down all the time. You know what I'm saying?
Thanks guys, glad to be here.
