Just got back from town (KKinabalu), and found that Samsung Ultra Touch is out. Selling in KK at RM1899.
Had it demo-ed...
Impressed with the AMOLED picture quality ie very vibrant color.
Size very nice. Small not bulky.
Screen is anti scratch... the person demo-ed by trying to scratch the screen with a car key.

However, no wifi, and I was told that it has no QWERTY keyboard, pls correct me if Im wrong.

I just own this phone last two weeks.

What I like:
- Anti Scratch AMOLED Capacitive touch (WOW!)
- 8 Mega Pixel. (Better than Pixon)
- Slick Design.

What you need to do:
- If your purchase phone firmware is S8300DXIC2 or older, kindly updates to S8300DXID2 or newer which fix the touch selection issue and boost up the speed a lot. With recent firmware the phone is as speedy as Pixon. Drawback of recent firmware is they remove all the effect. No more 3D Slide effect when clicking the Menu button.

What you get by updating to newer S8300DXID2 firmware:
- Smooth interface and fixing touching selection issue.
- Added a lot of new widget like Youtube, Myspace, Facebook and etc.

Sample photos taken with Samsung Ultra Touch:

Thanks. smile.gif

It is touch screen and same as iPhone use capacitive touch (means only work with finger)

But no multi-touch like iPhone and iPhone still the best in terms of touch.

Then I suggest you better wait for Samsung Omnia HD (Symbian S60 v5) because Samsung Ultra touch is just a normal mobile phone not a Smartphone.

I disagree with iPhone limited software as there are plenty of more than 35,000 apps at Apps Store. blush.gif + even mores once you jailbreak the iPhone.
