Support NeoGAF

[Fjolle]

I want Nokia to steal that VaporMG thing from the surface for their new phones. Their polycarbonate cant handle my alcoholism.

 

[kharma45]

Brushed aluminum? SD card slot? Niiiiiiceeee! I shall have a device this fall, but maybe Nokia can top this. Still, this is why Samsung outsells everybody, they know how to tick off those check boxes.

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

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Nice that the ATIV is thinner than the OG Focus. I like it.

 

[VanMardigan]

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.

That search button is my sworn enemy on my Dell Venue Pro

The only good thing about the Optimus 7. :/

Mine is still going strong minus the USB flap

I always smh at the people who want to turn the iPhone home button into a capacitive one.

[SCHUEY F1]

:lol Thats probably what will happen. I hope there are some surprises for WP8.

 

[VanMardigan]

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.

 

[jossueinacoma]

too much creativity happening at this event

 

[Troll]

Galaxy Camera V.S. Pureview.... FIGHT!

 

[snap0212]

Samsung Ativ S looks amazing. Would buy.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Remote view finder on the Galaxy Camera is pretty neat.

basically an S3 spec wise except for the S3 has 2gb of ram. I understand WP8 is more efficient but I hate giving bragging rights to android owners.

Just you wait. They'll announce it, I'm sure.

 

[kharma45]

"Heard a lot of shit about sharing"

I thought that's what I heard :lol

 

[jossueinacoma]

and that was it. The phone got a 10 second spot.

 

[brotkasten]

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.

So, where is the Nokia World 2012 OT?

 

[derFeef]

Am I the only one that is feeling the heat in here?

 

[Troll]

Alright guys, time to pack it up. People don't want Windows Phones.

 

[HollovVpo1nt]

So, where is the Nokia World 2012 OT?

It'll be burried in the IFA madness. Better not to make a NW OT yet.

 

[kharma45]

So, where is the Nokia World 2012 OT?

No need for it until the day before, maybe 2 days.

 

[ep85]

Alright guys, time to pack it up. People don't want Windows Phones.

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.

 

[steelcity]

Samsung showed their cards and I LOVE what I see. Now it's Nokia's turn next week please give me a screen that size.

If you want that screen size, the Ativ S is your phone. I'd rather have a Lumia 800 WP8 in terms of size.

 

[Doffen]

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]

On the windows team blog site, they were asking about NFC, but Samsung confirmed that the ativ has NFC during their conference.

 

[giga]

Any hands on with the ativ/wp8?

Hot.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Samsung Canada has said they will announce detial regarding the Ativ S in the coming months. Hopefully it will come to Rogers, Telus and Bell.

Yes, NFC is confirmed.

A choice of different storage sizes yeah.

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.
