Samsung ATIV S Review: the Windows Phone that could have been so much more

The ATIV S is a breath of fresh air, especially with the force of Nokia and the Lumia family of Windows Phones. It's a high-end smartphone with everything and the kitchen sink, but falls short in the marketing and OEM app department.
Pros:
  • Extraordinarily light, sports an intriguing look and feel
  • Has all the bells and whistles one would expect from a flagship Windows Phone, plus the added SD support
Cons:
  • Home button is slightly too close to the screen
  • leading to mistakes in pressing the display instead of hitting home.

Samsung Ativ Odyssey (Verizon Wireless)

Windows Phone 8 hasn't exactly transformed the smartphone space, and the Samsung Ativ Odyssey for Verizon Wireless probably won't change that. The $49.99 Ativ Odyssey is Samsung's first U.S. smartphone to run Windows 8, so it's surprising that it's a generic, middle-of-the-road handset.
Pros:
  • Very good call quality
  • World phone.
Cons:
  • Uninspired design
  • Unimpressive display.
