Is been an uphill battle for Samsung phones to compete with iPhone touch screen based phones.

Introducing the new Samsung Ultra Touch S8300 which built with accelerometer sensor and advance proximity sensor for auto turn-off.

The feature in Samsung Ultra Touch S8300 was built to protect with scratch resistant surface.

Although it has one of the best functionality among the line up, it lacks a slide out keypad for text entry.

The Ultra Touch S8300 fits the bill where it can function as a standalone touch screen device or by the keypad.
