About a Month ago, a bunch of codenames representing Nokia Windows Phone devices were revealed. Among them there was a Nokia Windows Phone 8 device codenamed "Dogphone". Now, nokia Innovation is reporting that these devices are just prototypes and NOT coming to Markets.

It is said that the Nokia Dogphone is just a prototype device. In fact, that is supposedly the very same boxy Windows Phone handset Joe Belfiore used on stage while demoing Windows Phone 8. That is also the mysterious Windows Phone device that was spotted in the wild a week after the platform's unveiling.

Nokia's Kevin Shields introduced Camera Extras for Windows Phone 8, which adds features that have been present on competing platforms for quite a while now.

First up we have Panorama mode, which stitches several photos together creating one seamless panoramic image. Action Shot is what one would use to capture that brief, one-time moment. The feature allows taking burst shots so that the user can later choose the one that looks best. Smart Group Shot is for taking photos of groups of people, as the name implies. The smart thing about the feature is that it captures several consecutive images, and if someone happens to blink, their face can be replaced with a crop from a better shot. Last but not least, a timer comes included with Camera Extras.

Samsung's announced its new Ativ family back on the August IFA event, Ativ S, is the first Windows Phone 8 Smartphone device to go official. Unfortunately, Microsoft forbid photographers to get any pictures of the device turned on, So the only info we have about the Ativ S is purely from a hardware perspective.

Samsung ATIV S Specifications

Samsung Ativ S is surprisingly light, but in a good way. It comes in at right around the weight of the Galaxy S III, but the Ativ S has a brushed aluminum body. The slightly-curved back panel makes it very comfortable to hold. The thickness is just 8.7 mm, which certainly contributes, too.

The Samsung Ativ S runs a dual-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU with either 16 GB or 32 GB of storage and 1 GB of RAM. Its 8 MP camera is capable of recording 1080. link above has the full list of the device specs. Price of the ATIV S is not announced yet.
