HW Specs are nice but the OS is crappp! After a year and a half MS will probably do the same: next version of WP will not be supported by the current phones...I did the mistake of buying a WP before, to only notice is a useless device, with crappy Apps in the store and with no way of upgrading it to WP8. (WP 7.8 update is just dust in the face).

adi, 03 Sep 2012Will it be good to have Ativ as it doesn't have JAVA?
Hi adi,
Windows Phones were not designed to be clones of computers for mobile (but Windows Mobile 6.5 used to be that way). WPs are now designed to do the most core and important tasks of a PC at highest efficiency with the lowest amount of strain on hardware. This is why you can be doing all your document editing, youtubing, music-listening and 101 other simple tasks at once and the phone doesn't lag although all WPs are currently single-core.
If you're buying a Windows Phone, there has to be a change of mindset, that it is NOT a full PC replacement. It is designed for you to do the most common things and get updated with the most common things you need to be updated about at a blazing fast speed.
As a review, this ATIV S looks like it is an aluminium cased phone. My Samsung OMNIA 7 was a similar structure to this phone and it is seriously tough. I must have dropped it a hundred times a year, often onto hard gravel and concrete, and the aluminium absorbs all the shocks without damage to the gorilla glass or the internal components.
My OMNIA 7's aluminium is seriously dented and scratched, but everything works as good as new after over a year.
Samsung's build quality and anti-drop designing are seriously good stuff.

Sukanta, 03 Sep 2012download songs,movies,vidoes any website? and transfer file... moreRegarding your other comment about your huge list of other features,
1. Direct downloading into phone from sites is not necessary because it can synchronize everything you want from PC, wirelessly (since early 2011 by the way).
The more of such redundant features are added, the more system resources are consumed. And you'll end up with laggy Androids like what we're having now, and only flagship quad-core Androids are generally free from lag (which is stupid because all single-core Windows Phones since the 1st generation other than Lumia 610 have ALWAYS been free from lag).
2. If you need to transfer CUSTOM files (not any of the supported media formats of any phone), please be realistic and use an external HDD or thumbdrive. If the phone can't read the file, then it is pointless to just use up phone space as mass storage. Because phones are not meant to be used like thumbdrives. Just put a tiny one in your wallet for God sake.
If you need to do all those stuff you mentioned, on the go, the Microsoft Surface RT and Surface Pro will be available in 1-3 months' time respectively, and THOSE are the ones designed to do the advanced tasks that you stated (and more).
With a Windows PC + Microsoft Surface + Windows Phone, it's a seamless tier definition. For all essential, core tasks like using media preloaded, internet browsing, document creation or basic productivity apps, Windows Phone has it covered. If you must, then Surface will do what the WP can't, with similar portability (but the WP can do some stuff the Surface can't, which makes sense). For final overkill, simply use a Windows PC.
Microsoft genius for you. It's not extra 'expensive', because a WP7 flagship like HTC Titan II is currently around 400USD, and the Surface RT is rumored to be 199USD. Those two added together is not much more than your Samsung Galaxy S III, but they make you way more productive. I vote for Microsoft also because Google's everything-is-open-source makes things ugly. Like, cosmetically ugly from a badly woven drawing by hundreds of artists.

Posting rules: Use common sense. Search before you post. Please.
1. Windows Phones, so far, HAVE VOICE COMMANDS. Not as extensive as Siri, but at least what we DO know is that in fact, Siri copied the voice commands from Windows Phone.
Why did you not know, you ask. Because Siri is the main selling point of the iPhone 4S because Apple didn't upgrade much from the previous model, so they had to put Siri on huge billboards and advertise it everywhere. It is just an unadvertised function on Windows Phone, available since late 2010.
2. Application for map with driving navigation is available on the software marketplace, and paid ones are especially powerful, detailed and better to use. If you can pay tens of thousands for a car, surely you could pay hardly 10 dollars for a navigation app.
Alternatively, WP's default map application is free, it doesn't have turn-by-turn but there is a constantly auto-refreshing GPS find-me function so it's almost as good for the cheapskates like me.
I hope this answers your misconceptions about WP, Sukanta.

Why I prefer Wd 8 platform over Android inspite of its rich appl market is the OS stability.
Android OS platform development move so fast that the platform hardly stable beyond 8 to 10 months.
It is a very frustracting (outdated) moment for Android customers whose pricy flagship smartphone becoming very cheap item within a year.

Here in Singapore, most people are using iPhones..you'll also see majority of the population carrying an iPhone.. Android phones like Galaxy S2 and S3, Sony Xperias are getting quite common among the people as well.. Windows Phone is rarely to be seen
