Looking to get a new Windows Phone? Samsung Focus S 4G price dropped to $0.01

With Black Friday coming up in a few days we’re already seeing technology websites pushing some huge deals to get the hype going. This deal is a perfect example. AmazonWireless has the new Samsung Focus S 4G Windows Phone for AT&T priced at a penny right now! Normally it’s $199.99 if you walk into an AT&T store.

The specs on the Samsung Focus S 4G are nice. You get a 4.3 Super-AMOLED Plus screen, 4G enabled, 8MP camera with HD video, 1.4Ghz processor, 16GB internal memory, and of course Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango). With its ultra-thin design (8.5mm), you probably will hardly feel this in your pocket.

More from the manufacturer’s description:

With an incredibly colorful 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display, the Focus S delivers 50 percent more sub-pixels than the previous generation Super AMOLED display for better contrast. The display also offers unmatched outdoor viewing quality, even in the brightest sunlight.

Vital Statistics
The Samsung Focus S weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 4.96 x 2.63 x 0.33 inches. Its 1650 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6.5 hours of talk time, and up to 250 hours (10.4 days) of standby time. It runs on AT&T’s dual-band 4G HSPA+ network (850/1900 MHz; HSPA+/HSDPA/UMTS) plus international 2100 MHz 3G networks. It’s also a quad-band GSM phone (850/900/1800/1900 MHz GPRS/EDGE).

I’ll admit that is decent battery life for a phone with this size screen. The focus (no pun intended) on battery life seems to be a thing of the past for cellular manufacturers, so it’s nice to see a smartphone rated with 10 days of standby time.

Shop: This Samsung Focus S deal is at AmazonWireless.
