I must say that my Ativ S is not only my favorite WP8 device but my favorite mobile device overall.
On the other side, the variability in the quality of the Qualcomm SOC is also affecting the Ativ S. In our office 50% of our Ativ S running the exact same firmware and software have a problem where the display crashes while you view things... You only need to push the Windows button to resume, but it is annoying.
I am starting to be convinced that all SOCs for WP8 devices should be made by Intel, not Qualcomm, under license to get around Qualcomm's lousy QC.
