Announced a couple of weeks back in India, we finally managed to lay our hands on this 8MP beauty. Known as Tocco, S8300 UltraTouch or just UltraTouch, the phone looks classy in its brushed aluminum finish on the front. Though the phone is on the heavier side, the hold and feel is quite nice and solid.

A bummer or shall we say, a limitation is that you need to slide up the phone to take photos, which kinda makes the dedicated camera key useless. Anyways, we spent a bit of time with the phone and would like to spend more and know if its worthy for a Rs. 27,500 price tag.

For now, settle for some pics we have for you to ogle.

Samsung S8300 that was unveiled at MWC in February has got its official call for India as just Ultra^TOUCH. It becomes the third 8 megapixel phone from Samsung for the Indian market after INNOV8 and Pixon.

The features include a nice 2.8-inch AMOLED touchscreen with 3D TouchWiz UI, GPS, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, Bluetooth, FM Radio, music player and a microSD card slot.

The Ultra^TOUCH phone will sell for Rs. 27,500 (US$543).

Americans craving for Samsung’s latest touchscreen slider can now buy it from Amazon. The phone goes for $500 without any US warranty and if you’re thinking to take the plunge, better hurry because only 5 units are up for grabs.

For starters, this is an 8MP offering from Samsung with a 2.8-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, 3D TouchWiz UI, GPS and much more.
