Samsung has been promising us a phone running Microsoft's latest
Windows Phone 8 software for several months now, but we weren't
able to actually see one in action until the Consumer
Electronics Show this week.  The ATIV Odyssey is a mid-range
Windows Phone with a 4-inch screen. It doesn't exactly scream
quality either. Like many Samsung phones, the body feels like
it's made from cheap plastic.   Specs-wise, the ATIV Odyssey
isn't anything special. It has a capable dual-core processor,
but just 8 GB of storage.   There's no price or release date
yet, but we're guessing this thing will be pretty cheap once it
goes on sale through Verizon.  Our snap reaction is Verizon
customers will be better of with HTC's 8x if they want a good
Windows Phone.
