Samsung S8300 UltraTOUCH preview: First look
Known as Samsung S8300 UltraTOUCH or simply Tocco Ultra depending on the market, the latest touch phone by Samsung comes in the slider form factor.

Listen I went to the samsung store and spoke to a guy there who was clued up on his products but no one seemed to be able to tell me how the 3G will affect me in my online gaming. I play online war3 and World of Warcraft on my samsung i450 and get latencies between 120 - 300. 1 sec delay at most(hardly ever) Now what difference is this internet speed(7.2) going to be against my 928kbps I get out of my older phone??? So far there isn't 1 person to date that could answer this. Juggling between the s7350, s8300 and Omnia

This phone is a joke, if you hate somebody, really hate somebody, buy him this phone, have it, for 93 days, been for repairs 4 times, in my posession for 19 days, still don't have it back. Don't want it back. This comes from a Samsung fan who had E700,E600,D800,D900,G800 which all gave me good service and now this **&&&&####, and not getting much assistence from Samsung helpline yet.

Just bought this phone and it's great! Has anyone had trouble with the dates? Mine is always one day out on the display and I can't correct it. The calendar has the correct dates but the time and date settings is out? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

please gsmarena review this phone in detail again.. ur preview is almost outdated.. and i value highly your view of the phone..
i don't know why they are calling this phone the flagship of samsung in 2009 for there are many bad comments in this phone (and i hope this is not true for i like to buy this phone).. ei. low battery, difficulty in texting (one of the main use of phone!), slow ui?
and many interested in this phone is turned off for the lack of wifi (vanity)..
you know the perfect phone for me? put a touchscreen in innov8 and all your dreams/imagination is satisfied..
well just my 2 cents.. peace out

for thoose who have the phone, is the texting any good with the real keypad?? virtual keypad is good i'm sure the f480 was really good but still real keypad is quicker. and are there problems with the video recoeding ??

hmm.. im planning in buying this phone but many says it's slow.. do you think its the hardware? or it can be remedied by a software upgrade? btw the price of this phone is roughly the same with c905 (php 21k) in our country..

> In reply to mario polo @ 2009-04-11 12:38 from M{3IThe bad things: the interface is a bit low, doesnt have wifi but after all is great.
The good things: the touchwiz is very cool. The interface from the phonebook is very similar from the iphone but this is better. In the "photo browser" you can rotate the phone to the right and the photos will pass like if the photos will fall. The camera quality is nice(is not the best) but it has a lot of options in "shooting mode" that are great. The radio is great because you can listen from the speaker very loud.and you can connect any headphones because it comes with an adaptor.
I didnt tried gps because i cant connect to the internet.
This phone has a lot of improvements from previous ultra models. I dont know why but the message interface is so cool, its very special.
hope this help

I bought this phone a week ago, and the interface is a bit low. The touchwiz doesnt come with the three numbers on top to change between pages, instead you can scroll up and down the page so you can put more widgets. The camera is very cool. It has more than a regular camera and the panorama for me is the best. There is one big problem: there isn't an option to configure the gsrm and the 3g, and i cant use internet (and in the manual doesn't tell).
The phone is great if you want a phone not so big with the best camera and the sound is very loud(louder than the iphone).
I really love this phone
