Nagoya Hill Shopping MallDue to short timing, the only visiting place is Nagoya Hill Shopping Mall, the rest of the time are resting at Harris Resort. Harris Resort services is great, all staff is helpful and polite, the room is clean, food was tasty and the price is reasonable. 2 thumbs up! Highly recommended if you are vacation at Batam.
This year company trip is not as exciting as last year Hong Kong | Shenzhen trip but it still enjoyable at Harris Resort. The rest of time is such wasted and not well organized.

- Maximum up to HSDPA 7.2Mbps network.
- 2.8" 16 million AMOLED 240x400 resolution full touch scratch resistant screen.
- 8 Megapixel camera lens with Dual power LED with Anti Shake, WDR, Face Detection, Smile Shot, Blink Detection, Auto Panorama, ISO 1600, Mosaid, Macro, Geo-tagging and etc.
- 720 x 480 maximum resolution 30fps video record with slow motion 120fps support.
- Accelerometer Sensor.
- MP3, WMA, AAC, e-AAC, e-AAC+, MPEG4, WMV, 3GP & DivX playback.
- Bluetooth v2.1 and USB v2.0 connectivity.
- 80MB Internal Memory + maximum 16GB external MicroSDHC support.
- 110 x 51.5 x 12.7mm size.
- 880 mAh battery.
Screen
- AMOLED is stunning! the color is vivid, the black is true black and the white is pure white. The screen output is level up! which TFT screen is not comparable at all. Plus the Scratch resistant screen which probably no need any additional screen protector. They still not ready good under strong sunlight but it is better than my previous Samsung Pixon. I found out the best screen noticeable under strong sunlight still Apple iPhone / iPod touch or any recent Sony Ericsson phone, example W595.
Slide Mechanism
- The smoother slide phone I ever try before, the only draw back is they do it too close which already made few line scratch appear in the bottom. :-(
Touch
- The capacitive touch is a great and it ready made the touch more responsive than traditional resistive touch. Anyway the touch smoothness is not yet comparable with Apple iPhone / iPod touch. Apple touch technology still among the top at the market at the moment.
Keypad
- The entire phone input is capable of using hardware keypad or virtual keypad. The hardware keypad is easy to press without needed any power impact on it. The virtual keypad is ready responsive and it even better than my previous Samsung Pixon. Closing the slide will made every input using the virtual keypad. This is a thumbs up! The drawback is they never providing the QWERTY virtual keypad as Samsung Pixon did.
Performance
- Most review said the performance is not constant, I agree with that but it still perform smooth in overall. I notice the phone is slightly lagging at the beginning of switch on, after a few minutes, overall will run smoothly. The scrolling is great enhanced compare with Samsung Pixon, it can scroll down fast and smooth. Overall performance I find it outperform than Samsung Pixon.
Touchwiz UI
- It enhanced with 3D effect and added more features on it, the best Touchwiz UI done by Samsung at the moment. Scrolling down the screen made additional space for more widget. Scroll to right turn to photo tagging contacts, you can tag few face in same photo for allowing different contact phone number. The tagging is as easy as like you tag photo in Facebook. The effect of sliding different photo tagging contacts is cool but I notice it some how like a copycat idea of HTC phone. Scroll to left let made you access the main menu without touching the main menu button. They is a 3D flip effect among main widget screen, main menu and photo tagging contacts page.
Contacts
- Lastly they added in search function in contacts which didn't include in Asian edition of Samsung Pixon. Europe edition of Samsung Pixon do provided search function after firmware updates but it didn't do for Asian edition except Hong Kong Edition. Beside this, thanks Samsung for considering left or right handle for the alphabet scroll position in contacts.
Camera
- I must admin the Samsung Pixon picture quality is among the worst compared with their Innov8 or this Ultra Touch. Samsung Ultra Touch picture quality is much more stunning! The macro mode is more details and less noise compared with my previous Samsung Pixon. Lastly the landscape mode is working which produce more vivid color and sharp in details not like Samsung Pixon which given blur image when selecting the landscape mode. Overall I am ready impress with this Ultra Touch photo quality. Beside this, the video record is better than Samsung Pixon as well, the ghost effect is lesser but still not in perfect. Attach below with few samples I taken using Samsung Ultra Touch. End of my review of Samsung Ultra Touch. :-)

The most sensational shopping mall in Malacca. It was Situated in the heart of historical Melaka, a easy place for traveller to get around. Dataran Pahlawan Megamall was built on a historical field called Padang Pahlawan. The Dataran Pahlawan Megamall was a combination of two (coming to three soon) buildings. I can't get the main entrance shot because it was too wide and I no space to stand for photo taking.
- Nokia N97 - if Hardware QWERTY keypad is important for you.
- Samsung Omnia HD - if you prefer slim, stunning display, performance & HD video record.
- Sony Ericsson Idou - if you concern about 12 MegaPixel camera lens.

Below is my opinion after tested the BlackBerry Storm at Singtel, Singapore.
- THE WORST touch screen I ever try, it feature a new touch call surePress! (I think it better call sureWrong!). It is hard to press and you need to learn the mechanism before familiar with it, and the mechanism is not built for human being. (The screen will go inside a bit when you hard press it, I not sure what the point they do like that)
- THE FAILURE accelerometer ever build in mobile phone. (it take too long to auto rotate and sometimes it auto rotate when you don't want, some times you need to hard shake before it rotate)
- THE SLOWEST performance phone I ever use, overall clicking everywhere need to wait and some times it take more than 7 seconds before it appear.
- THE BIGGEST font I ever seen in a mobile phone during SMS, I believe it was design for half-blind human. (The font is some how too big and too bold)
- THE NIGHTMARE scrolling I ever use.
The only nice about this phone is beauty screen and nice menu idea and design. But the slowness and the 5 "THE" is killing it already.

Sample photos taken with BlackBerry Storm:
* Above sample photos taken from GSMArena, the photo is sharp in center but will blur out at every edge and color is dull. The camera quality is below average. Not a really good camera lens, but it still better than no auto focus camera lens in the market.
After checkout the Samsung Tocco Ultra Touch, it looks beauty but not my taste, I will definitely regret take it once the Omnia HD is out. I am better waiting for the launching of Omnia HD rather than taken the Tocco Ultra Touch now.Samsung Omnia HD (i8910) at a glance:

As some of you already knew my Samsung Pixon lens is spoil, maybe due to the lousy lens provide or maybe my careless, I think I accidentally too close the lens to Candle light heat. Not sure what the exact problem.My question is shall I replace it with Samsung Tocco Ultra Touch (S8300)?
Benefit of Tocco Ultra Touch:
- 16million AMOLED touch screen. (Pixon only 262k color LCD)
- Anti-scratch screen.
- Capacitive touch (same as iPhone, only finger working on it)
- Same 8 mega pixel.
- Slide with keypad.
- Slimmer design, only 12.7mm compared with my pixon 13.8mm.
- Better widget screen, got 3 page in total by scrolling on it.
Drawback of Tocco Ultra Touch compared with Pixon:
- 2.8 inch only, means 0.4 inch smaller than pixon. (Pixon is 3.2inch)
- No virtual QWERTY keyboard. (Seldom use, but sometimes it seems useful)
Which not sure:
- Performance (Ya I do try before but not fully test on it)
- Camera quality, cannot confirm is it better or not, attached below with samples taken from web.
Sample photos taken with Samsung Tocco Ultra Touch (S8300):




Recently I notice all scenery photo I take is became blur and blur and now even macro the photo also got a red spot in the center. The symptom is became worst and worst now and it is completely unusable now. 
I try retake in similar timing at similar place and come out is extremely bad compared with my previous shot during just purchase.
I face the camera to dark area and I notice they is a lot of dot appear in the LCD when the camera is on, I try to clean up but it is not cleanable and I notice the dot is inside the lens not outside the lens. Now the camera is hardly to focus and even successful focus, the output is blur!

What to do! I am extremely SAD now!

Need to bring to service center! (1st time my phone ever need for servicing and it is only use for around 2 to 3 months only!). I believe the lens is gone case already.
