Yeah it sounds like it could be really nice. I'm expecting good things from HTC too as well as Nokia.

has calmed down a bit.
Also, not only do I like the fact that the windows button isn't capacitive, I wish the other two weren't capacitive either.
I still touch those capacitive buttons by mistake almost every day.

The only good thing about the Optimus 7. :/
I always smh at the people who want to turn the iPhone home button into a capacitive one.
:lol Thats probably what will happen. I hope there are some surprises for WP8.

The real life photos are much better than those press shots. The phone looks way too plasticky on those press shots. I noticed that the GSIII also looked uglier in Samsung press shots than in real life.

No podcast support, no audiobook support.
Just you wait. They'll announce it, I'm sure.

They'll expand it in Europe, except for Germany. Just like the Zune Pass.
Something something, GEMA, something.
Alright guys, time to pack it up. People don't want Windows Phones.

It'll be burried in the IFA madness. Better not to make a NW OT yet.
No need for it until the day before, maybe 2 days.
I think despite the advertising effort, people just don't know what windows phone is. They assume it is either a windows mobile device or it isn't an iphone.
show me your skeleton

so a u.i who's entire design language is based on large blocks of colour, with sharp edges, samsung have gone and given us a rounded rectangle. why on earth did they use a rounded shape around the really angular windows logo? bleh.

If you want that screen size, the Ativ S is your phone. I'd rather have a Lumia 800 WP8 in terms of size.
You can read the Complete spec list for Samsung ATIV S here: http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/2012/08/29/Samsung-Ready-to-Go-With-Windows-8-and-Windows-Phone-8 at the end of the page
Isn't the Phi supposed to be 4.7". From the leaks it doesn't look to be as thin as the Ativ S though.
Edit: Also, is the Ativ S the first WP to have two different storage sizes?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
On the windows team blog site, they were asking about NFC, but Samsung confirmed that the ativ has NFC during their conference.
Hot.
Yes, NFC is confirmed.
A choice of different storage sizes yeah.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
We can't even get a real life picture with the phone turned on!!
The Windows blog post did talk about the weight and feel in the hand, but that's it.
Aye it's strange that we can never see WP8 in action, was hoping there'd be some hands on with the ATIV S.
Maybe Nokia have dibs on showing it first.
That's what I guess. WP8 is not fully unveiled yet so that makes sense. The ATIV S is not a bad phone to make a hardware debut thogh.
