Focus 2: The Goldilocks phone
Not too big; not too small; and FAST! So, why no love around here for this mid-sized LTE phone?
I prefer Windows Phones that I can use with one hand, rather than 4+ inch large screen devices. And in that category, the Focus 2 is unequaled. It's light weight, and has a bright clear screen. Most importantly, it's 4G LTE and can provide wifi access for my tablet and laptop.
The Lumias have superior design and great value-add Nokia apps. But for me, the combination of reasonable size and LTE puts the Focus in a class by itself. This will be my last Windows Phone 7 device. I'm not giving this up until I see something that runs Windows Phone 8 that I like.
