AnonD-69774, 05 Sep 2012Well that wasn't much of an intellectual comment, but I'd also like to add that Nokia's Window... moreAliens have their own life (if they truly exist) but they have nothing to do with us. Well, i am eagerly waiting for an update for my samsung galaxy s advance. 4.0.4. Is better, i had experienced it from my neo v, and i found 2.3. Is inferior to it. Well, not all humans think the same way how you think.

Anonymous, 02 Sep 2012androdi is now so new and lag free with ics and especially jellybean! you simply did not used ... moreYour claim that 4.0 is faster than 2.3. I agree with you, but at what cost? Being a Sony Xperia U owner, I am appalled by 4.0's UI, and so do many of my friends who are power users.
Android 2.3 may have been slower, but the interface was certainly more impressive. I hope 4.0 doesn't remind you all of Symbian, because I've used a Symbian and I know very well that's the Symbian UI style. Android 4.0 went in the wrong direction for advanced users like us who liked the initial power of Android 2.1/2.2/2.3.
I saw for myself the inadequacies of Android 4.0's UI (which, by the way, still isn't lag-free on my dual-core Xperia U although it is not heavily used) and it is one of the reasons why I'll be sure to think more carefully before buying another Android again.
In fact the Xperia U became so weak for a new 2012 phone because of Android 4.0 that I had to keep using my December 2010, 1st generation Windows Phone because even something this old was more efficient. (I'd do anything to get 2.3 on my Xperia, really. I'm not the only one who can't stand 4.0.)
I was going to get an Android tablet, but it seems that the rumored 199USD price tag for Mircosoft Surface has won me over, especially after I saw how unsuitable 4.0 was for me.
I do wish Android the best though, because it WAS the phone of choice for power users due to customizability. (I used to like and want one, back in the Android 2.3 days.) I hope that Jelly Bean gets better, because I'm just comparing my Omnia 7 with iPhone 4S and Xperia U, and the Android is the one that obviously fell behind.

djmsync, 04 Sep 2012HW Specs are nice but the OS is crappp! After a year and a half MS will probably do the same: ... moreHi, interesting view. I'd like to tell you about the differences between WP7.8 and WP8 if you didn't already know.
WP7.8 has all the features of WP8 that current WP phones are able to support, and WP7 series support will continue.
WP7.8 is missing a number of features that WP8 has for only ONE REASON: current phones don't have the hardware needed for the update. For example, there's no need to add support for HD resolutions in WP7.8 because All existing phones are 480x800, and there's no difference in adding such a feature.
More significantly, for example, there's no NFC support in WP7.8--because ALL current phones have no transmitter required for NFC! It is a waste of space to give current users features they can't use, and being kind, Windows decided to release two updates instead of one, separating the same update into 7.8 and 8.
Therefore, kindly wait for the great WP7.8 to come out and enjoy your further enhanced WP experience. I hope you'll take your Android-using friends' comments about their smartphone having 'more features' and being 'faster' with a pinch of salt.
It's always good to find out for yourself what your OS maker is really up to instead of listening to rumours that are half-true!

rowsy, 04 Sep 2012buzz offWell that wasn't much of an intellectual comment, but I'd also like to add that Nokia's Windows Phones will have free navigation too, so drivers can use it as an alternative to often rather expensive navigation software on the marketplace. (Offline maps fully available on Nokia's version)
Also, WP8 coming next season, with Augmented Reality, Wireless Charging, higher battery and CPU efficiency, PureMotion HD, list goes on. I expect Apple and Google to be copying these inventions very shortly, so brace yourselves for stuff like 'ZOMG my iPhone has wireless charging it is so innovative' posts all over the internet soon.
I suggest people start making comments that reflect their level of intelligence, because we'd love to hear your substantiated views instead of your flaming or trolling. Right now, if aliens could see the internet, they'll be convinced that there is no intelligent life on Earth.

A lot of people are commenting on the "metal" back cover of this phone.
Wake up!!! It is plastic cover that looks as metal. I personally prefer plastic as it is elastic.

HW Specs are nice but the OS is crappp! After a year and a half MS will probably do the same: next version of WP will not be supported by the current phones...I did the mistake of buying a WP before, to only notice is a useless device, with crappy Apps in the store and with no way of upgrading it to WP8. (WP 7.8 update is just dust in the face).

adi, 03 Sep 2012Will it be good to have Ativ as it doesn't have JAVA?
Hi adi,
Windows Phones were not designed to be clones of computers for mobile (but Windows Mobile 6.5 used to be that way). WPs are now designed to do the most core and important tasks of a PC at highest efficiency with the lowest amount of strain on hardware. This is why you can be doing all your document editing, youtubing, music-listening and 101 other simple tasks at once and the phone doesn't lag although all WPs are currently single-core.
If you're buying a Windows Phone, there has to be a change of mindset, that it is NOT a full PC replacement. It is designed for you to do the most common things and get updated with the most common things you need to be updated about at a blazing fast speed.
As a review, this ATIV S looks like it is an aluminium cased phone. My Samsung OMNIA 7 was a similar structure to this phone and it is seriously tough. I must have dropped it a hundred times a year, often onto hard gravel and concrete, and the aluminium absorbs all the shocks without damage to the gorilla glass or the internal components.
My OMNIA 7's aluminium is seriously dented and scratched, but everything works as good as new after over a year.
Samsung's build quality and anti-drop designing are seriously good stuff.
