Post image for Samsung Focus On USA TV Show Psych

I watched one of my favorite shows Psych, the other day, and am sure I spotted the Samsung Focus. With Windows Phone 7 turning a year old, it is now time for Microsoft to start ratcheting up the marketing for the platform. So far, Microsoft has turned up the heat a little but Nokia is really putting in work. Therefore, any time I see Windows Phone 7 device on TV, other than a commercial, is fantastic. Take a look at these shots of the star of Psych, James Roday, holding what I am sure is the Samsung focus.

Post image for Eliminate Membership Card Clutter With Key Ring Rewards Card For Windows Phone 7

Key Ring is a fantastic app on Windows Phone 7 and is pinned on my HTC Titan’s start screen. Many people have a key ring or a wallet full of their favorite pharmacy, clothing, or grocery store’s membership card. The problem with this practice is that the clutter builds rapidly, and more over you find your keychain becoming unusable. CardStar is a popular smartphone application, which allows you to scan your cards to your mobile device however; Key Ring is a much better app.

Post image for Samsung Focus Flash Review

AT&T and Samsung recently released the the Samsung Focus Flash, the spiritual (and literal) little brother to the Focus S. The phone’s size and price have shrunk, but should your attention also shrink away from it? Find out in the review below.

By way of full disclosure, I am an Android user of over 3 years, and this is my first experience with a Windows Phone 7 device. I’ll try to keep this review mostly to the phone itself, and I’ll tackle my views on the Windows Phone 7 OS after I’ve spent some more time with the phone, and the HTC Titan.

Post image for HTC Titan Release Date Set For November 20th

The countdown officially begins for the best Windows Phone 7 device’s release date and if you have not listened to the SMRPodcast then I will simply inform you that we are speaking of the HTC Titan. This phone is the 4.7-inch beast that I fully intend on owning on day one. While we are not quite sure why it did not release on November 6 however all is forgiven. The HTC Titan will sell for 199.99 on contract and will get you a 1.5GHz processor and a WVGA Super LCD screen.

You can see the announcement on AT&T’s website.
