I wanted to join the WP7 community last year when the first gen phones were launched, but due to contract obligations, I waited until the latest generation. I decided on the Focus S after observing the latest wave of Windows phones.
I bought the phone the day after launch and immediately began noticing a flashing problem when I would wake the phone up. Sometimes (most of the time) my background would show up fine when I pressed in the power button, but other times I'd get a quick white flash before it showed up. Yes it may sound like a small problem, but it annoys me. And for $200 + expensive monthly payments, I imagine it's something I should not have to deal with.
Another problem I've noticed is that I'm getting Marketplace update notifications on my homescreen, yet when I press on the tile, I see no updates available. I go back to the homescreen and the number that was previously on the tile is gone. I read something about this possibly being caused by trial apps - I did have some trial games downloaded, but I got rid of them, and continue to notice the problem.
Small things, but I'm curious if I'm the only one here experiencing them. My friend owns the original Focus, and experiences the same Marketplace problem. The flash problem seems, to me, like it's probably something wrong with my particular device, and not something that's happening to everyone. I'm considering taking it back to the store to get a new one, if it'd be possible. It sucks that the only AT&T store I've tried going to so far seems to have people that know nothing about Windows Phones.
Anyway, first post here, so hello all!
Hope someone is able to help me out!
