My bad I now se in the review that it is " market dependant ". I hadn't gotten to the review until after I posted my comment.

    Interesting. GSMArena quote this as the Samsung S8300 UltraTOUCH. Mobilechoiceuk say that it is The Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition.

    So who is I wonder. Perhaps it is one and the same, as doubtful as that sounds.

          Blakvat, 09 Feb 2009What da heck? Touchscreen with numpad?there are many people ( incl. me :) ) who refuse to buy decent touchscreen mobile phone only because it's too annoying to type text messages on touchscreen. So, hip hip houra to Samsung, finally phone with touchscreen AND numpad.

            why does an 8MP camera activets with the slid?!i hate that!its not fair to put an 8MP camera behind the slide!
            why is it a slid phone anyway?!why,when we can have bigger numbers and qwerty in a bigger size on an oled.
            but finaly we get to touch the 0LED!

                    you have to slide it up to use the camera . . which will be annoying if you use it to take picture's in landscape

Don't believe everything the media tells you. No offense buddy, but you've been spoon fed all the crap CNN or whatever news channels tells you and believe it.

                                Probably won't take picture as good as the INNOV8 unless somehow Samsung have 'innovated' smaller lenses and sensors to take better pictures.

                                  hmmm samsung here... samsung there. whats with the samsung madness going on at GSMArena? why are they (samsung) flooding the market with plenty of units and not all of them are that good in terms of sales. I'll be surprised that next quarter samsung would announce losses in profits then the next quarter God forbids cuts on labor. Does it really pay to be on the top and keep releasing new phony phones that most people on this critical economic condition won't be necessarily needing?

                                      Well not adding Wifi is a big mistake, but if you have a good mobile internet plan from your mobile operator you will surely won`t care :D .Although it would have been nice to have it along. Does anybody know if it will have Divx play out of the box, some site say it would some don`t specify anything??
