What Chinese comapnies ? Just ZTE ? And we don't know how the product will actually perform in terms of reliability and quality because if they are making these things for as little as they are selling them, where is the corner cutting ? They gotta save money somewhere.

That's where the Lumia 800/900 and Titan II come in, genius,

except those phones are not even in the same league as industry leaders like the GSII, 4s, Sensation, and others.

The Focus S is the GSII. It might not have the dual core processor of the GSII, but honestly putting a dual core in a Windows Phone is like putting a Corvette engine on a motorcycle....it's completely unnecessary.

I agree with your first two sentences. I bought my first ever WP7 device less than 3 months ago which has only a 1GHZ single-core chip and was blown away by how smooth and fast it is vs. Android dual-core!

As to your third sentence, I can only say, Don't feed the trolls! LOL!

True. WP is buttery smooth. It's kinda pretty, and very simple. And that's about all it is. If these are the things you care for, then it is perfect for you. But if you get bored with the interface, well... you're stuck with it. And still missing some standard smartphone functions.

However you can't beat the really VAST array of options of Android, nor its HUGE personalization possibilities. As for dual and more cores, you could use them for demanding tasks, mostly rich-graphics 3D games. The cores are not needed for the OS itself.

So there's no room for comparison, both OS-es have their advantages.
