I hope, for your sake as well, it's not a 1.4.
I have exchanged my phone, no kidding here, 5 times since my original purchase on March 13.
Each one has been a 1.4 revision and I have had NIGHTMARES. I always thought it was just the phone... turns out the news this weekend proved that wrong. It wasn't just the phone, it was the revision of it.
I finally got a 1.3 and was able to plug it in right after the exchange into my PC, and poof, February update right away... minutes after that update was completed... bam... March 2011 update, aka, NoDo.
Also, I installed my 32GB Class 4 MicroSD card into this one... formatted, and haven't had an issue there either.
To further explain the MicroSD issues, I don't know if NoDo fixed a lot of them, or if it's that with the combination of the 1.3 revision. When I would put the card into a 1.4 phone, and format it, the phone would randomly reboot and erase my information. Now, granted, it would all come back on a reboot of the device, but still, it was frustrating.
Also, when I would go to sync music and movies onto the card on that 1.4 revision, it would occasionally give me sync issues; couldn't sync certain files and what not.
This time around, all 3000+ songs and 5 movies were synched without a single issue.
I finally believe I have a rock solid Samsung Focus in my hands. Here's crossing my fingers for myself, and for you.
