Well, compared to the HTC 8x, which is simply just a good design and otherwise a One X, I'd go for the ATIV S any day, thanks to the SAMOLED display whose blacks do the WP UI justice, better camera quality (if its the same as the SGS3 or Note 2), bigger battery (that is also removable), expandable storage etc. Sure, not over the Lumia 920, but over the 8X, sure. Not saying the 8X is a bad device, but the ATIV S beats it specs wise (unless you want the more natural SLCD2 display).

How do the largest WP8 screen, a MicroSD slot, and a removable battery make this worse than the competition? On paper, the Ativ S beats out every other WP8 device (with the exception of the Lumia 920 camera.) Sure the build quality isn't as good as the 8X or Lumia, but the Ativ S clearly has some major advantages.

When you have Nokia Lumia 920 in high end segment ..Nokia lumia 820 mid Segment....

So where ATIV will fit....

Obviously at the high end. It's basically a Galaxy S III with WP.

They sure are taking their time to put it on sale. Wasn't this the first W8 phone that was announced?

Now we have three WP8 choices:
A Goliath with all the latest technologies built in,
A Galaxy S3 with plastic surgery to get WP8 and a more durable chassis, and
A music-loving exquisite Signature Phone that comes from the brand that made the One X.

Add the Galaxy Note II, the Apple iPhone 5, the Google/LG Nexus 4 and whatever Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu, etc. can bring up, and this is clearly a very tough holiday smartphone shopping season.
