Samsung seems to have problems launching the Ativ S by the end of this year. We’re not sure whether it’s lack of the Korean company’s commitment toward Microsoft’s platform to blame for this or something else. In any case, as far as North America is considered, Sammy’s flagship Windows Phone 8 device may only hit Canada this year, with US getting it at some point next year. Rogers is Samsung’s “partner in crime” and from what we’ve understood, it will start accepting orders tomorrow. An ad we’ve got shows the Ativ S sitting alongside Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC 8X, all of which are/will be available from Rogers Wireless.
In the UK, interested users can already grab the 16GB model for 459.99 GBP (Expansys link) and it should also be available through O2 and Three, as well as third-party phone retailers. We’ll be keeping our eye on the Ativ S and get back to you as soon as we have something new to add…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. 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.
