  • Can u connect to a WIFI spot ?

  • Best phone ever, i got it! awesome price aswell

  • Its the phone in Parry Gripp's "Fuzzy Fuzzy Cute Cute"!!!

  • I love iPhone haters, just because they cant afford it =]

  • I have this one and to be honest,i wouldn't recommend you buying it..

    The touch screen is terrible(!!!) it's really annoying..even though it's a touch screen the screen is terribly small and it's hard to deal with it..The only like really GREAT thing on it is the camera-the pictures you take are really amazing..If you can,rather get something else and if you already bought it,i wish you good luck. ;)

  • wat do u think is better? the samsung ultratouch, jet or omnia ICON?? please help thx!

  • i would recommend everybody to bye some sort of android instead! U won't regret it.

  • no wiFi..... :/

  • @uzairbadboy When u say it doesn't have wifi does it mean u cant conect it 2 d internet?

  • @broadstripes It means you can't connect to the net via wifi. Wifi is wireless internet. Some cafes, McDonalds, unis and offices use it, as well as some home computers. Means you can connect to their network and piggy back off it for free. Unless it's password protected.

    You can still go on the net with this phone, however. It's just the phone itself kinnda works as a modem, and thus, you have to pay for any data you can download. See below:

  • @broadstripes Connectivity  * Networks GSM 850, GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM 1900, UMTS 850, UMTS 2100 * Connectivity Bluetooth, Next G, 3G, HSDPA * Data services GPRS, WAP, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA * USB connectivity Yes

  • Hi guys just wondering if this phone is better than Nokia 5800 xpressmusic thank s

  • I plan to buy 1, my friend lended it to me for an day i loved it, WIFI, BLutooth and more. NOT slow, very good touch screen (better than my SonyEricsson g900 :D) I promise you its very pricce wourthy

  • ridiculous phone o.o

  • @demmpa95 it means that if u have a wireless network at home u can connect the phone to it if u have wifi ;)

  • @grillkorv94 any idea how to do this please?

  • @IrresistiblyBetter do what?

  • @grillkorv94 connect this phone to wifi.

  • @IrresistiblyBetter I don't have this phone but the most basic is that u go to the connection settings tap the one that says wlan/ wifi then let it search the area for local networks chose the one u wanna connect to. if im wrong u can always look in the mauall.

  • There are 2 versions of the Ultra touch I hear a slow phone and a faster one for Telstra customers in Australia. Also found if you press the screen lock button the battery lasts for days.

  • would this be better than my Omnia I900??

    i want the HD Icon, but they dont have it with the provider im with

  • does it have wifi

  • I hate the phone.. Its very slow !! if you click on something it react Sloww!! and to click on show if you have a message i have to click 3 times before i click ON that butten.

  • but I must say that the design is very elegant and pretty.

  • I just don't get it what's the point in making a phone has all the hardbuttons and a touchscreen too. Use just one of these and perfect it not just "oh grab some crap from this one and grab the other crap from the other one too, put it together, put a slow software on it and there you go"...

  • mabie people dont like texting on a touchsreen phone, like me, i have an lg cookie (its sooo shit) and now im hoping to get this one

  • Yeah so true, i have it and it sucks

  • have a cry it works just fine

  • i luv dis fone! so glad i av it!

  • ShiveringWind, thats kinda harsh and if you have strong opinions like that then go tell samsung. maybe its not your ideal phone but it could be someone elses.

  • Do you have this phone? if not then dont post comments like this, if you do and you do like it then whatever but i have this phone and all i can say is it is terrible. The touch screen is the most unsensitive i have ever used. I do not like this phone and i do not like samsung, all the products they produce are crappy, they include cool features and awesome things like an AMOLED screen on this phone but they just cant pull it off, it is a shame that all of their phone are so unfinished.

  • hi.

    im just wondering

    if i should get the samsung ultra touch or the LG arena?

    i can get them on a $30 plan with 3g

    thanks

    and does the samsung have wifi??

  • the s8300 does not have wi-fi

  • this is already in uk :P:P:P:P:P:

  • is it coming to the u.s. if so when?

  • @JoshuaJones30329 been in the uk for like 2 yrs!

  • grr... i want it soooo bad

  • Well I have been trying to find a phone tht has this one special feature on it. I want it to have a ringtone for every contact cept I want tht ringtone to also be thier own message tone too. the Razr was the only one I knew tht did tht. I havent found one tht does since... plz help THNX!

  • Almost all sony ericcson*(or something like that)

    walkman models.

    I know the w910 has.

    I dont know any touch/smart phones that has that feature.

  • Thnx for you help starfighter1106 :D

  • the man in that is well sexy.

  • m8800 pixon or s8300?

  • S8300 i got it today its freakin SWEET

  • on my tocco phone the keypad and the back where the camera is it's blue

  • what a wanker!!!

  • Supposedly it's a tad difficult to text people and use the messaging service but that's if you're adjusted to a fully prominent slider keypad. If you normally use soft keypads then it's easy and natural to work. If you use the slide keys then there's no punctuation on them (I've heard...) and no delete key so I guess it's a bit fiddly but if you're really THAT fussed about it, then surely you'd make yourself get adjusted to the soft keypad? x

  • Had this for one week, only good thing was the camera! First of the bads, it wore out in just ONE week!! I had it in my trousers side pocket with nothing else in it twice, and after that the back had complitely wore out, incredible!! And quality in calls, sound really sucks. Touch screen is not reliable, you hit wrong often, and it's lagging much, txt messages is difficult to write with touch. I'm glad i changed for SE W.W995, this one is just the opposit, everything GREAT!!!

  • I don't really think you know how to operate this phone tbh. (No offence intended)

  • Non taken, but really it is very difficult to hit the right letters when typing a message for example, and it IS slow, and lags. It really wears out quickly. Well, just try it who ever wants to, but 'i'll never get one of those again. Even though the camera is great, but to make quality calls, yeah, it is more important, and write messages in a easy and nice way is more important, AND the W995 also has a 8 MP camera, i mean a 8,1(!) MP camera ;)

  • that's why there's and alphanumeric keypad DUUUHHHHHHHHH

  • Yeah but the touch screen really does suck, takes me like 30 seconds just to scroll down 50 photos, which is damn slow

  • Ok the Samsung Ultra touch is not a bad phone. Atm i bought it for around 4200 SEK. Which is somewhat around >400 €

    The sound in this phone (with a pair of good hearphones) is quite astonishing. With a good qualty of varying alternatives.

    To handle the phone is extremely easy and it is easy to have in your hand. However it is not the best phone if u want to send Text messages.

    The phone has alot of functions. Mabye a bit too many then necessary. It's a good phone. But it has too much in it

  • for......what network

  • hey guys this sounds sull but does is evern have a head jack for the head phones you get in the box.

  • its sucks without WLAN

  • and your the dumbest fucking thing to ever live

    (:

  • Fuck me im getting that c:

  • I would like to see a longer review of this phone. Not many long reviews on youtube on this phone.

  • Nice phone, but i don't like that keypad.. It's much more fun to write messages with touch screen.

    I got nokia 5800 myself and I think it's good enough for me. 8 megapixel cam would be nice anyway..

  • Iphone is fucking useless. FUCK all iphone owners

  • I own one, but it's indeed a fucking shit phone, it's broken and I dont wanna make it!

  • @xDChristian and thats you and shut up faggot

  • You say that out from a 3 min and 23 second video??

    12,7 mm thick?

    8megapixel cam?

    Protected Cam?

    Front Cam?

    Oled screen?

    Battery that actually LAST?

    I would choose this phone ANY day over embarrasing excuse of a Iphone 3Gs..!

  • battery is yght! :( low battery, low battery etc

  • Tis better in blue

  • if you want to use the front cam for video calling. you will have to go to settings, then networkacces, then networkmodus and you choose UMTS. if you do that you should be able to use the front cam for video calling.

  • no, LOL, no networks in the US support video calling so therefore, u cant really vid chat in the US

  • ok i got this phone now,but i dont know how to use the front cam,can anyone tell me please?

  • r u in the US? If so, u cant use the front facing cam

  • wut????? wtf are u talkin bout dude is the front facing cam like  illegal in the US will it shoot the skin off of ur face or something. lol

  • Comment removed

  • thats only for video calling

  • i am getting the ultra touch tomorow!!!!!!!

  • I found something really strange with mine, when you change the wallpaper from one of the default ones the touchscreen works much faster. any one else notice this?

  • Thanks for your review mate. Just waiting for one of these to arrive after ordering yesterday. After a few years of Nokia I'm into pastures new !

  • you said in your impression video there was no other phone with the amoled screen but the impression which came out after this, im confused

  • I've seen it few days ago. 5 Fps flick scrolling and lags wasn't funny...

  • it laggs buy nokia 5800

  • I have this phone! freaking awesome to use. Yeah the battery life isn't as good as my last phone, but then again that was a chunky GSM W810i with a small screen. This thing runs out of battery in about a day if you use it for music all day, other wise lasts for 2 or 3 days. Overall everything here he said was accurate, and once you get the feel for the interface its even better. Intuitive and not too gimicky its great.

  • How s the operating system? I mean do u experience any lag and stuff? And the battery life u ve mentioned is pretty good.Continous music and a whole day is kick ass.HAve the w810i now (killer phone) interested in the samsung touch phones now.Cheers!

  • Pen DI Lun Nokia Phones Di

    Pencho Ultra touch Is The Best Mobile I ready to buy it this month thanks buddy....

  • Does this phone have that annoying MP4 video format or does it have wmv or something else? I've had N95 8G for a while now but i'm tired of it because of the MP4 that is totally impossible to play on the computer unless you convert it in which you get a pretty bad quality when you're done.

  • why does europe always get the nice phones!

  • Nice phone! But i got a iPhone ;)

  • sorry to hear you have an iphone.

  • i have the killer of yours , the 5800

  • the killer of mine? i have a n95 8gb.

  • I like ur reviews

    keep making them.!

  • Great review good Phone!!!!!!! Shame about the Price £299.99 :O

  • on vodafone at the moment there are some good deals on pay monthly phones

  • ha this is good phone wait let me correct myself it's perfect phone

    and that's all there is to

  • This is shit-phone! I have SE c905 and IPhone 16GB . That is realy Stuff!

  • LoL and u use them in same time, u r best u have 2 phones and u use them both, I have only 1 s8300 and still s8300 is better than your 2 phones together...u have fuckin bricks I have best design u can see

  • s8300 isn't good at all.

    Small screen!

    just look at the N97, the SE Idou and Omnia HD!

    THATS stuff

  • HTC TUCH HD

  • Look I don't buy bricks I want some phone that fits into my pocket. and have great design. If I need biger screen I will buy laptop lol ...

    And why bigger screen? U gona watch movies on phone lmao? Even on iPhone screen is too small. Cmon u only buy phones if they have bigger screens? xD

  • N97 have the best design ever! No phone looks better than that (in my opinion). It's not a brick, is quite thin even though it has a full QWERTY. And yes if I WAN'T to watch youtube videos on my phone, then why shouldn't I have the option?

  • Just watch it I don't care lol ... but u cano't compare NOKIA bricks and SAMSUNG's design. Even if nokia make some grear phones they suck in design and if u buy phone for playing with them,than I don't know what to say.... rather buy PS3 it cost same XD

  • Haha ^^. And still it's not a brick, the N95 is a BRICK. And Nokia phones can do lot more then samsung design phones! This is a great and nice design. Best i've seen from Nokia. I don't understand your hate for it.

  • nvm I just hate NOKIA they have only better OS on phones nothign else

  • only OS? OS is alot!

  • i have lg kf700 and it is better than this!

  • How do I transfer my phonebook, messages and Notes from SE C92 to Samsung Ultra S8300? pls help ...

  • i have the same problem... did you find out a way to do it?

  • what service provider does this phone use?

  • of course it has a proximity sensor ... they had to copy apple again...

  • at least they didn't copy apples price though

  • just asking..

    so far, for those ppl who have ths phone..

    does it give u any problems?

    like lagging.. etc..

    if its fragile...

    coz i am considering buying this phone..

  • I tested this phone because I was curious. You know, 8mpx, touch screen, good design. For this price which exceed 400 $ easily i was excepting nice stuff but... I got disappointed, there's no wi-fi, soft is slow like hell, touch screen is poor

    ( equal to ku990 ) music quality is at least decent. 8 mpx? Typical joke, like other samsungs / lg you can only dream about nice photos.

    It shoot much worse pics than c902 / n95

    even not comparing to c905.

    Pretty sad and poor.

  • i got this about 3 weeks ago, have not had any problems with mine so far atall very happy with it, but im curious because all of the ones i have seen in these videos have that 3D affect when switching to the menu but mine hasnt? does anyone know why this is ?

  • When does this phone come out at store???

  • So you're telling us that you're happy with this whole juddering and stuff?! Watch the sidebar when he tries to scroll. It seems to be slow, just like every other Samsung or LG Touch Device!

    Looks like they've learned nothing!

  • jus got the phone a week back .beautiful phone very good display but has a pretty bad battery life and has no wifi

  • does it have a jack then? cuz all the videos say it doesnt have one ..

    lol

    i dunno..is it a good phone burn70u7??

    would you recomend it basically. lol =)

    xx

  • on drugs?

    =D

  • IT DOSN'T HAVE HEADPHONESS!!!

    wth. thats soooo let it down for me. i was gonna get this phone but cuz it doesn't have a headphone jack im probabl gettin the nokia n96, :(

  • Mines got headphones, a nice pair of sound isolating ones

  • the screens cool, but i wouldnt buy it..i bet it falls to pieces immediately..

  • im either gonna get this phone or the nokia n96 .. i no the n96 is gettin kinda old but ive heard good things .. any1 got any suggestions on this ...or even if thay know of a better fone

  • Samsung Omnia HD is better than this and N96

  • Hi Phonedog! Is S8300 worth buying? Or should I get the LG Arena. What is your opinion about it?

  • i was thinking the same whether i should get this or the arena, but ive decided to go for this now, ive ordered one, i think i have made the right choice :)

  • all these touch-screens are excellent, but the screens have crap touchscreen. if apple did an iphone with these specifications it would be awesome

  • They are excellent and crap at the same time? k....

  • no the phones specifications are good vbut the screens are crap asshole god READ PROPERLY

  • You said:

    all these touch-screens are excellent, but the screens have crap touchscreen. if apple did an iphone with these specifications it would be awesome

    Which clearly reads: all these touch screens are excellent, but the screens have crap touch screens.

    So "asshole, god!" THEN FUCKING WRITE PROBERLY

  • oh go fuck your mother you fucking virgin geek. GET A LIFE and stop trying to look cool on youtube dick.

  • Thank you for confirming that im right. and if I knew how to fuck my mother, i wouldn't be a virgin, right :3.Have a nice day.

  • god why do you have to be so clever, i dont know what to say now :(

  • because I ate gifted children. it makes you very smart.

  • Tbh I found there wasn't really that much to play with on it, rather basic.. slick, but basic. I liked the slide out keypad but it really isn't necessary, the camera's v good but the lense is too close to the edge so it's far to easy when holding it to get your finger in the shot, plus the photo browsing was fiddley and actaully quite annoying with zooming, scrolling, etc. The screen is fantastically bright and does look really good however, just like the design of the phone itself.

  • im having mine tomorrow XDXD

    canot wait :D

  • are u able to watch videos u synced to it? and music? also, is the web browser good?

  • is Samsung S8300 Better Or the Samsung Omnia HD?

  • Samsung Omnia HD

  • Samsung Omnia HD!!

  • waah i'll recive it tomorrow!!!....

    ..i can't await!!

  • Can u play games on it like on the iphone?

  • omg it looks so gorgeous!!! I wanna buy it now!!!!!

  • Fuck you its asome

  • have this phone.. best phone ive had...

    u can use the 4x3 pad r touch

  • hey, i got mine yesterday and i just wanted to ask...you know when you press the Menu button, does the background swivel to the menu or does the menu just appear?

    All the demonstartion videos show it to swivel but mine doesn't.

  • it has wifi?

  • i'm wondering if you can type text messages like the LG viewty/renoir/ and iPhone, or if you have to use the 4x3 pad?

  • nice phone

  • I'm wondering whether the screen of the S8300 really is scratch-proof. It says that it has a tempered scratch-proof glass...

    Is it really scratch resistent enough to rule out a screen protector?

  • I wouldn't say so to be honest, I mean they claim all sorts of things about phones just to get you to buy them don't they. This IS a good phone, don't get me wrong but it's a touchscreen, and all touchscreens need protection. I wouldn't put buying a screen protector past this phone.x :)

  • this is not good, no 3.5mm jack on this and u have to take out the battery to have access to your expandable slot..

  • How often do YOU change your expandable media?

  • once in a LONG while, anyway, its still better to have it outside..

  • Comment removed

  • how can u say, that its not even out yet stop making assumptions about something u know nothing about

  • better then iphone 3g?

  • hmm 8mp camera beat teh crap out of iphone 2mp....

  • HTC Touch Diamond owns all of the 3G's

  • 3g is free in my country( include and illimited with abonment) this cellphone interest me, but I like the Nokia 5800 too ^^

  • hd omnia is better

  • when is it coming out in america?

  • never. why? cause USA dont have 3G. USA= caveman

  • LMAO that's kinda racist but funny tbh XD

  • I've ordered mine!!! In the UK you can Pre-order it from Vodafone with some quite good deals

  • sounds like for this guy, speech is a second language.

  • when come out in us! hurry up! hope sprint want sooo baaddd

  • do you know whn it comes out for u.s and what carrior like t-mobile?

  • probably not the same phone. You might want to buy the unlocked version from ebay.

  • sick

  • No WiFi, no problem. 3G is fast enough. But it doesn't have Symbian or WinMo. That's a way bigger issue. No 3rd party software, no sync possibilities with MS Exchange for contacts and calendar. I'd like this one to be on Symbian S60 with Exchange support. That would be nice.

  • "No WIFI, no problem. 3g is fast enough."

    >> uh~ Wifi is free. 3g is expensive T_T

  • @ilovesamsungverymuch

    -

    Not where I live (Netherlands). I pay a flat fee rate of 9 euro's a month and can do what I want online.

  • u will never find a spot in USA with Wifi everywhere.
