I overall agree but give them points for finally using real metal instead of brushed aluminum-looking plastic. The overall "rounded rectangle" shape combined with the metal case remind me of my last Windows Mobile phone, the LG Quantum:Shoot me...but I'm not impressed...the HTC One X was breathtaking. Lumia 900 is stunning. This is really just another Samsung device.
I think the Omnia 7 looked much more classier than this. The slightly brushed metal feel really is an old design.
Again, this is my opinion.

I agree with your opinion. I think this looks like just another Samsung but then again I am not a Samy person.Shoot me...but I'm not impressed...the HTC One X was breathtaking. Lumia 900 is stunning. This is really just another Samsung device.

But perhaps this'll be like the Galaxy S3; a device which looks better in person than on screen.
I really like this design, Im really happy they didnt go full on Galaxy III clone and made some subtle differences. I like the rounded off edges, very similar to my Focus S in where it still keeps the overall rectangle shape, and much better than the III's uber rounded edges in which it looks oval(imo)....also, I love the brushed alum chassis and Im excited to see what kind of performace we are going to get. With a beefy battery like that, Im sure I would be able to get two full days, and I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the physical windows button, something I really liked on the Flash. Overall, Im impresed and excited and cant wait to see what the competition brings. The best part about this is the family, the Ativ Series. They can sell all of their windows family products together which should mean well get a really good push in the marketing department, something samsung hasnt really done for its WIndows phones...and now, bring on the competition!!Specs:
4.8? HD Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2
1.5Ghz dual-core processor
1GB of onboard RAM
8MP autofocus rear camera and 1.9MP front-facing camera
16GB or 32GB storage
MicroSD slot for expanded storage
2300mAh battery

This is the Samsung ATIV S, the first of many amazing Windows Phone 8 devices coming this year
A very nice start Mr Sammy.![]()
Where were these snapshots taken from. I'm assuming the conference in Berlin. Is it possible to find a video link of this conference?
Samsung were never going to break the mould.. even their own mould with a Windows Phone 8 device. If peeps expected this, maybe this is merely a wake-up call.
Personally, I'm impressed, considering all circumstances. Samsung could have easily thrown us a GS2 with a W8 home key on it, but instead we have a unique design to WP with a cool brushed ally casing.
Don't get me wrong, I'm holding out for Nokia, but this is definitely a device I would snap up in a heartbeat should Nokia fail to pull something awesome out of the bag.
Nice guts.
Horrible chassis.
Forgive my heresy, but that is not an attractive phone, IMO. And considering Samsung's previous efforts, I wouldn't be surprised if the specs were the bare minimal they could get away with. If Samsung wants to win me back as a customer then they will have to create more unique apps that truly challenges the Nokia ecosystem.
Fret not, oh hater-of-evil-Samsung!! Nokia will get to announce the actual WP 8 system, and will have the first "hands on" time for a WP 8 device. Microsoft will make sure Nokia gets the free publicity that comes with it!! All Sammy did was announce their own product. Heck, HTC announced their WP 8's right after the WP 8 developer meetings.Exactly. Thank you. IMHO, Omnia 7 alone was amazing. But the rest of them are galaxies I don't really care about..
I anyways hate samsung..so to me its of very little importance. But kinda miffed that Sammy overtook Nokia and annoucned the "First WP8" device...![]()
