Phone is greate in all features, infact the most fantastic phone i have used (S8300). My last upto a week on regular talk tims. The trick is this-make sure u disable all vibration modes on the phone ie Ringtone, Feedback.
Thank u Samsung for the Mobile Tracker security and personalize password protection tech.

i have had this phone more than 4 months now (got it when first released overseas, i'm in Australia) everything on the phone is just perfect no lag, decent internet speed via 3g (i'm with vodafone), awesome pictures/video (you can really see how good the pics are when uploaded onto pc), google maps works perfect found my location in CBD within 3 minutes on a friday night. touch screen is responsive and bright as ever. really can't see any probs as described here besides battery life.

Please dont buy this phone. I made a big mistake in opting for Samsung. Within a month i have problems with the mic and LCD. The company says they wont give a repalcement and i am making rounds to the service center.I heard there are many issues with the software also.
This phone is useless and too costly.

How is this phone compared with Omnia I?
Design wise, I prefer the samsung ultratouch but I have read the reviews of this phone and apparently, it looks like the functions of the samsung ultratouch are a far cry from omnia especially the wi-fi function, audio capabilities (does it mean that a headset cannot be attached to the ultratouch?), and good touch sensitivity.
Value wise, will the value of the ultratouch drop faster than the omnia or the other way?

Hello guys, yesterday i finally bought the S8300 and experienced it, well the most expensive phone that i had used till now was an n95 8gb, so i might not know much abt high end phone, here is wat i experienced.
First of all the boxing is shitty, the manual is even smaller than the one that comes with watches, lol.j/k.
The AMOLED Capacity Touchscreen is just 100% awesome, no doubt abt it, the touch response is great.
As far as lags are concerned, didnt face any.
The camera is just tooooooo great for a mobile phone. ahahha, and especially the macro images, and the best of all part is the 120fps vid recording, its just a lot of fun.
I have used a couple of xpress music phones too, but the sound quality of the s8300 with a headphone and 5.1 channel ON, is just better than every xpres music fone, imo. But i have to tell u that the built in speaker cannot match an xpress music's speaker.
The slider feels solid and rapid.
I havent faced the weak battery problem yet, but when charging it, its really fast. But the problem is that when u charging it, u cant hear music because the headphones are connected to the same jack.
I will say that if you want to go for this fone, go for it, you wont regret it. But still after some days of use, i will post another reply and tell you more about it.

Rands, 29 Jul 2009you guys must really have dud phones, cos I have this fone for more than a month now & (thankf... moreThanks for your commment. Just in clarification - the phone will not always charge when charger is plugged in - this is the problem. So in addition to very poor battery life (needs charging every day) it can take numurous repeat attempts to get it to charge. I have been in touch with Samsung - they are not interested! The phone was 16 days old when I took it back - 2 days outside their warranty period... can you believe that in this day & age that such practice is legal or even deemed to be "good customer care"? I am sorry but whether I have a rogue phone or not....the issue remains that Samsung are clearly not a company to rely on! Good luck to everyone who has a good phone..... I hope you don't encounter a future problem whereby you might be expecting Samsung to help you, because it just won't happen!

Paul, 29 Jul 2009Had this phone for 6 weeks now. Cannot keep it charged, the battery life is worse than dire. ... moreyou guys must really have dud phones, cos I have this fone for more than a month now & (thankfully) dont have any problems. for every one who complains about something im sure that there is 10 people who are happy.
Many peeps complain about widgets that get stuck to the desktop. My screen is usually full of open widgets & they all go back into bar properly, are u sure u are doing it right :)
Weak battery has been an issue from day one, so if u read the comments & still bought teh fone, dont complain. BTW, the battery charges when the charger is connected( if it doesnt charge when the charger is connected then the phone is faulty, take it back). Battery is not an issue for me cos its always plugged into my PC via USB.
It does do an occasional reboot, but only whn in running too may things, like when I have too many pics on the memory card & I open Photo Browser ( im talking thousands of pics here-wallpapers, photos animated etc.)
Its actually a really good phone & im very happy with my purchase. I had to decide between the S8300 & C905, & i will still choose the S8300 if i had to again. so there.
