An excellent phone at a great price

259 for a top phone, significantly cheaper at Amazon.com as at Amazon.com because I had access. I previously had a Nokia 800 with WP7.8. Bought was totally useless because of the Nokia Navigation (I had Nokia Symbian phones which navigation was much better), a veraltertes after 6 months operating system and a battery life that was 10-15 hours (no games!). And for my big paws 3.7 inches were too small. The Ativ S is the right size (not a problem with your pocket!), A great display, battery lasts just over the day. Everything is running, Windows Phone typical supple. Skype is built into the operating system (at 7.8 unusable). Less specific (Samsung) Apps than Nokia, particularly photo apps for the Navigon Navigation runs without the mobile phone like Nokia to overheat so that the charge and exposing the battery after 1 hour is empty. Of course I miss a number of apps that are on iOS and Android, but it's bearable.
In summary: A very good phone, a good OS, and a highly-attractive price with strong weaknesses in App-offer.
Addendum after 6 months I am still satisfied and would continue to give 5 stars. The lack app offering disturbs very; none of the new me interest Apps is offered for Windows Phone. The problem with the double, sometimes 15 times songs and images has a new update of WP8 completely achieved. The price is now down to 180, since there is nothing that comes close. Oh, reboot once a week for some reason, I usually realize it, but sometimes I'm for hours unreachable (wg. I set the necessary PIN entry).
