Samsung Ativ S is quite cheap for a high end phone in NZ only $799 NZD

[12Danny123]

Hi guys. I got a magazine and found the Ativ S. it's going to Vodafone NZ and 2Degress and likely telecom NZ and it comes at launch price of $799. it's dramatically undercuts the price of it's android counterpart the Galaxy S3. which is $1049 in NZ. I think Samsung is pricing this phone aggressively in NZ and likely in USA. This may sway me to this phone because of it's price. But maybe the 8X. If you change the price to USD then I think it'll come out quite cheap

I'd be interested to see how the price stacks up in the UK. If they decently undercut the Lumia 820 (HTC did it with their 8X, it's ?20 cheaper than the 820), then I could very well be swayed to the ATIV. I don't want a Samsung, I want a Nokia... but removable battery is a must and as the 820 isn't a high-end it really should be reasonably priced, right? So yeah... ATIV S is looking appealing now.
