If I were to buy a mid-range WP8 that would be the Lumia 820...

Absolute waste on the part of Samsung...wonder who is the most at fault for this travesty....Microsoft....Samsung....or....VZW (I'm inclined to think the latter.)

I really don't see how putting out a premium Samsung windows phone, would hurt Samsung...unless Google was whispering in their ear not too......

Dear PhoneArena, if you check my Facebook page at Rachi Siders you will see that today is my birthday. I have been checking my email intently. Just in case you have not selected a winner for the Lumia giveaway yet, I would be very grateful if you went ahead and picked me.:) Thanks!

Well this certainly shows where Samsung loyalty lies, in terms of mobile OSes. Yes, Samsung is very successful with Android, but they shouldn't shaft those who trust their brand, but choose to NOT use Android.

As a Focus S user, I was excited to see Samsung step up to the plate with the ATIV S all those months ago. When I heard that Verizon was getting the 822 and the 8X, but this was coming later, I thought it was great. The Odyssey was the codename for the ATIV, and thought it seemed like a nice fit.

Instead, this low level effort just shows Sammy is not onboard with WP. I believe they are excited about Windows Tablets, but not WP. I will spot Verizon, at least they have options and the 8X is respectable. But the top level ATIV S would have truly made Verizon's WP line the best anywhere. This just adds nothing. The 822 is the only option when comparing the two.

I'm very disappointed with these specs. I just don't understand why WP8 doesn't get the same support as android.

... Maybe MS needs to not only make their own phone but provide wireless services, too.
