Today at IFA in Berlin, Samsung lifted the curtain on its first Windows Phone 8 device, the ATIV S. This is just the first in a big lineup of new hardware that’s coming with Windows Phone 8, but it’s a seriously impressive opening salvo. Samsung built the ATIV S with the latest and greatest technology, especially for anyone who want a superphone that’s equal parts powerhouse and head turner.

Apple will try to ban this phone because Apple don't like Samsung & Microsoft

heh, Maybe I'll take a look into this instead of the Galaxy S3.
I've always been interested in Windows Phones but never did a lot of research.

Looks very nice! I'm thinking of buying a windows phone 7 next week, windows phones seem to have come a long way.

For some rason I am not a fan of both Samsung And Apple
But if LG does launch a phone with such specs i am sure to buy it

Looks a lot like the Galaxy S Advance. (which is not blocked)

Not really impressive and innovative, but should be legal proof (due to the small curve in the design ?)

I was going to as well, but WP8 is just around the corner. Might be worth the wait? Plus WP7/7.5 won't be upgradable to WP8.

The look of the top phone looks really good. Ha, looking at the outside.

You could be right.

Mostly hardware changes in for WP8, hence the update to WP7.8, correct?

I will be waiting for WP8, so I can run it more long-term than if I were to get a WP7.x phone.

WP7/7.5 users will get update to WP 7.8.....

I hope what Nokia claims to be right. Anyway what I want is an entry level smartphone or a feature phone, that is more than enough.

That has been for a while. Samsung Wave runs on Bada and Omnia runs on WP. Their designs and build quality are far better than Android ones.

Oh, lol i never really even noticed they had Windows phones lol their galaxy series seems to get a lot more attention

ATIV is VITA backwards.

As for me, I've changed my mind. I'm going for Android, not waiting around for WP8.
