What i don't get it is why the hell Samsung makes metallic phones for all the OS-es but Android. Look back and you'll see there isn't any metallic body Andorid phones. But they have shitloads of WinMo and Bada phones with metallic body. Makes no sense at all.

Good review, hopefully Lumia 920's review will be coming soon as well. I am tilting towards buying the Nokia at this moment.

Yawn! Still a boring OS with nothing to offer, not to mention the apps....wich are horrible and freaking expensive( 15£ for a compass app??? Are u kidding me?). No matter what hardware it packs the os is killing it. Just another boring ios clone, and just as innovative as apple. We bring u resizable tiles! It s more than a tile it s a resizable one....and this changes everything, again! Bottom line is that u can spend your hard earned money on a more mature os,wp is just not worth that kind of cash.

"Unfortunately there is no FM radio on the Samsung Ativ S. The Samsung Galaxy S III does have an FM receiver so its absence here can either be down to the drivers not being ready yet, or the chipset transplant leading to the axing of the feature."
I read somewhere that Windows Phone 8 removed FM support as prior OS supported it.
