Praise exaggerated!

1. The battery lasts not as long as some people here raves. After a day of email retrieving and occasional browsing and Bluetooth connection to Pioneer Radio's over. Perhaps that is even better.
2. The system runs up on a hanger hanging up after a phone call and a case of a battery-app previously error-free and liquid (app is uninstalled)
3. The camera is mediocre. But I do not care, because I have it right cameras.
4. The change of Android is a breeze - Windows Phone is self-explanatory and nice to use
5. The hardware incl. Display are top class
6. Many shortcomings WP can deal with Apps. The absence of the signal strength indicator in most ads not. Neither the general volume setting. Both are annoying and ridiculous at the same time.
6. Data Sense is not available with me. For whatever reason. Would be good to know what is happening in terms of data volume so. Although you can disable data transmission in the background (for each relevant application separately)
7. The speaker sound is significantly worse than for example. On the iPhone. 5
8. The available apps ranging from easy for me and the quality of previously installed is properly (except above)
9. If the next update the screen display and setting deficits fixes and no hangers happen I am highly satisfied with the Ativ S. Then there would also deserved 5 star ...

Rein objectively and compared with smartphones in its price range, I submit a buy recommendation. It may be that a S4 or iPhone is better in most properties. But it costs sometimes twice or three times!

This assessment is based on my needs and my use. Since everyone has different priorities, the claims will be different. There More Details here but really good reviews.

Bottom line, I am very satisfied with the Samsung Ativ S.

Update from 14/11/2013: In the meantime, I had to return the first Ativ S, because the battery has never been charged under 7 hours. The new has now switched off after installing the backup from the first A day later and has restarted. Without assurance reconfigure chat help Samsung! With difficulty, but made and consumed no more restarts, but data volume to date (3 days). Striking: Bluetooth with my Pioneer radio is now top stable. Both Phonebook, telephony, audio, and navigation, without any problems. The fehelnde signal strength indicator can show by wiping from the top for a few seconds - very nice! I am a little skeptical about the Samsung invites all to any Clouds, Sky's and elsewhere, but otherwise still very satisfied. Incidentally, it is often claimed in WhatsApp view under WP8 any videos or to receive: I can not confirm - all wonderful.
