This racy little number comes feature packed, is 3G and includes a massive 8 Mega Pixel camera.
The Tocco Ultra S8300 has a dazzling AMOLED screen – comes with a mammoth 8-megapixel camera and has great great desktop syncing software.
This is the first handset out that includes both a touch screen with a three-by-four-key alphanumeric keypad. We think this combination is absolutely brilliant.
Because while the keypad is useful when you want to do something simple, like dial a call... then the alphanumeric keyboard is smaller than a Qwerty one, so the phone can be smaller. If you want a full QWERTY keyboard go for a Blackberry Bold or 8900.
The Samsung Tocco Ultra S8300 is a gorgeous looking 3G touch screen phone.
A Good Looker
It comes in a nicely rounded desirable casing & is simply packed with all the useful features today's mobile phone would expect from such a stylish device. The colour combination includes the dark brushed metal effect front complete with the chosen colours edging with either a black, red, blue or orange coloured slide out section which gives this handset a fashionable appearance to suit its high quality features.
Slip & Slide
The S8300 Tocco Ultra has a smooth slide opening mechanism which allows the user to gently slide open their handset when the user needs to access the keypad. This is solid and smooth. The user can also view the large 2.8 Inch colour screen when the handset is either in its slide closed or slide open position.
The touch screen displays up to sixteen million colours which provides a high colour & crystal clear viewing experience on the Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra. Its crown jewel is a customisable home screen that uses widgets to display photos, media-player controls or upcoming events, for example. You simply drag widgets onto the home screen from a dock along the side. It's all very flashy & customisable.
Smile – Your on a “8 megapixel” Candid Camera
Without a doubt the main feature on this sleek slider phone is it's built in 8 megapixel camera which comes complete with easy to use camera controls which allow the user to capture still images as well as moving video footage just the way the user intended. An integrated flash is a dual LED type flash which allows the user to brighten up the darkest of surrounding.
The S8300 Tocco Ultra supports video recording capabilities allowing the user to capture those fun moments in their day as moving footage which can then be stored or shared with others. The user can capture their video at up to thirty frames per second for a high quality video sequence.
This imaging focused touch screen phone supports camera “geo tagging” as the phone comes with a built in GPS receiver feature. This built in GPS receiver with an AGPS function which allows the user to get step by step instructions to unknown locations or guidance to destination on their mobile phone.
The Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra also supports a voice dialling function which allows the user to make a call using voice commands. The S8300 Tocco Ultra comes with an Internet browser which allows the user to surf the Internet on their handset & enjoy a XHTML & HTML Web experience.
The Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra is a 3G phone which supports 3G HSDPA technology which allows the user to enjoy high speed connectivity, fast Internet, multitasking skills & 3G video calling on this stylish handset.
As well as GPS, the Tocco Ultra has 7.2Mbps HSDPA for speedy Web browsing, although it lacks Wi-Fi. Built-in Google Maps takes advantage of the phone's connectivity but, without multitouch support, we had to use menus to zoom in on maps or Web pages.
Thanks to the phone's media player, we certainly didn't get bored. It supports Xvid and DivX video, and MP3 audio, alongside plenty of other formats. There's even an FM radio to round it all off.
The user can communicate with other compatible messaging users by creating & sending either a multimedia message, text message or by creating an email which can be sent to a contacts email address. The built in messaging service gives the user the flexibility to call a contact or simply send a message contain either text, sound, pictures or video clips, depending on the users communication needs.
The fitted battery is a rechargeable battery which when fully charged allows the user to enjoy up to four hours of talk time or up to three hundred & fifty hours of standby battery time when the handset is not in use.
