Although it has been announced in August, you still can’t get the Samsung Ativ S. The reason is obvious – Windows Phone 8 hasn’t been officially announced and as far as we know, it’s still not be ready for use by the general public.
However, now you can pre-order Sammy’s Windows SuperPhone in the UK, with Handtec asking 479.99 GBP (about $770) for the unlocked, SIM-free device. That’s kinda steep, but then again – we’re talking about one of the best Windows Phones ever (alongside Nokia Lumia 920). If you do decide to spend your hard-earned cash, you’ll be among the first ones to experience Microsoft’s new mobile platform on Ativ S’ large 4.8-inch 720p Super AMOLED HD screen in the first week of November when Handtec will send it to you.
Aside from the mentioned screen, Sammy’s baby also comes with an 8-megapixel camera on the back, 2-megapixel front-facing one, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of built-in storage and a dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz.

The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
