Samsung Focus is the first Windows Phone 7 available in the United States

There will be five Windows Phone 7 phones available in the United States in November. AT&T will offer the Samsung Focus, HTC Surround and the LG Quantum. T-Mobile will offer the HTC HD7 and the Dell Venue Pro. The AT&T Samsung Focus will go on sale on November 8th. The two other Windows Phone 7 phones offered by AT&T will go on sales weeks later. The T-Mobile HTC HD7 is scheduled for a mid-November release. The Dell Venue Pro has no release date yet.

The Samsung Focus will have a price of $199.99 with a new AT&T contract.

The Samsung Focus is one of the best choices of the available Windows Phone 7 launch devices. The 9.9mm thin Samsung Focus features a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, 8GB storage, 1Ghz SnapDragon CPU, microSD card slot, GPS/aGPS, WiFi 802.11n, Bluetooth 2.1, 6.5 hours talk time, 300 hours standby, FM Radio, 3.5mm audio jack and 5MP camera.

The only way to get a Windows Phone 7 device earlier is to import an unlocked Windows Phone from Europe. In Europe the first Windows Phone 7 phones will go on sale on October 21st.

A lot of new Android Phones are available right now on Amazon and other mobile phone vendors for 1 Penny. There will possibly also be great deals on Windows Phone 7 phones with new contract from these online phone vendors. We will look out for Windows Phone 7 online deals and feature them on the site as soon as they become available.
