I lock onto satellites without any aids in less then 15sec when 100km from last destination on my Ativ S. When in same town as last destination its less then 5sec. I play golf and use GPS rangefinder regularly.
Official GDR3 is now available in South Africa, sim free Ativ S, just checked yesterday. Will post screenshots when I manage to download as my data is limited. Samsung support is awesome. I also use Samsung apps and get regular updates.
Congratulations. We just got GDR2 last week in Indonesia. I will never buy a Samsung phone ever again, no matter how bargain the price is.
Anyway, Ativ S for 150 quid is one sweet deal. I'm sure you would get the updates quicker in certain parts of the world, but definitely not in Asia.
Is your ATIV S carrier locked and branded?
If so then the delay is due to carrier testing not Samsung
Highly unlikely. If your device REALLY is unbranded/unlocked, it's a global push.No, most phones sold here are not locked nor branded. Even HTC 8X got it earlier. My wife's 920 got Amber almost 2 months ago.
So yes, it's definitely Samsucks fault.

Exactly. Doesn't matter which manufacturer you have. It sucks, but people seem to make it look like Samsung is the only company ever to do this.Updates are rolled out based on IMEI number so if you are last on the list then there's nothing you can do!!

oh yes, it feels like being very special. Especially thethird tile row results in kind of questions what extra ordinary phone this might beWell, I am happy with my decision to buy ATIV S two weeks ago. Yet, it has GDR2 update, but I can wait until GDR3 roll out in my region. It is a good WP device with good spec, and it is rare where I live. Already received some questions "Wow, I never saw this model? Is it just released?" :amaze:

I bought an Ativ for my gf, and it's an amazing phone. She really likes it, and before she had iPhones and a crappy Htc wildfire . It costs 200 euros in Germany unlocked, and it's a great deal. It's fast, has a nice screen, expandable memory, replaceable battery. Only con is that lumias have a couple of good exclusive apps (here transit, here lens).
It made me hesitate about keeping my 620, but I really like that I can put in my pocket and barely feel it. My next phone will probably be a 1020 or its successor, when I can afford it.
