Im quite surprised about the camera quality, its ineed better than some newer nokias. The daylight shots are amazing, shame theres no pic thread in here.

You're wrong, sir. There is, it just needs more attention and publishing!

Been using an Ativ S for about a month coming from iphone 4S. Overall a great device. Most points of OP are right.
Sound quality is a big improvement over the iphone and the screen rocks. Love the 4.8" screen and the responsiveness although sizewise it is for me at the limit for a phone.
Also the camera is better than i expected.
I do not like the back though. I never use cases and the plastic scratches. Back cover easily, sides less so. The phone will look brilliant and fresh up front but the back will look used and "dirty" very soon.
Price tag for the spec of the device is amazing.
Love wp looks and interface and want to see it develop.

May I ask how much you paid, and if you bought it without a contract? I paid €190 for it, off contract. Sadly it was for my mom.

Picked one up for about ?220 in UK off Amazon, for the specs that is a remarkable bargain. I did have a Lumia 925 but sent it back for build quality issues and in many respects the Ativ S is a better phone in most departments apart from the camera's overall performance under different lighting conditions. Very pleased with it.
