Samsung Ativ S I8750 - user opinions and reviews

Have had this phone over three years now, runs unbelievably well. I have done about two factory resets to bring it back to a clean slate. Just wished Windows could get app creators for some of the more popular stuff made it kept up to date, like snap chat, Pokemon, eBay has ceased its windows app.... Overall it wont make me want to change to Android.
I find the UI configuration so pleasingly appealing. Live tiles, customizing my app icon's sizes, appearance and location of a multi grid or directly on my start screen is just great. When I look to Android phones or apple, they seem so sloppy and careless in comparison.
Having the apps in alphabetical order listed on the next screen makes much more sense to me then a second icon based format, like is done on androids.
Besides a lack in popular apps (can't say there are not a good amount anymore, cause there are countless now), my other downside concern is that windows might never pick up the mainstream and be phased out.

Also, besides the windows store problems (lack of apps), I want to continue with Windows Phones!

Anonymous, 18 Mar 2016Easy to use. Very durable, i have accidently dropped it more than a few times and has survived... moreBe that as it may, I'm betting any money that apps for Windows Phone 8.1 will be deprecated very soon in favor of UWP apps (Skype being my main worry). For that reason alone, having Windows 10 Mobile would be nice.
The phone itself is indeed excellent. I had mine for three years now, still works like a charm, and it had its fair share of drops - even on concrete. I only purchased a new battery for it a few weeks ago, because the old one was getting weak.

This phone isn't meant for anyone who's into social media. The windows store lacks apps and everything that is usually compatible with Android and IOS will not be available to you. If you only need talking and texting then by all means get this phone. Don't be fooled by its pretty packaging, it offers the same technology as a flip phone. If you would like to look hip but do not understand how smartphones work then by all means get this phone and trick people you're in with the trends.
