The nice people from Samsung never stop in pursuing perfection in phone technology and their newest offering, the Tocco Ultra proves the point.
The Samsung Tocco Ultra can best be described as the combination of the Soul and the Tocco, but with great improvements. As a result, the Samsung Tocco Ultra combines slide design with a full touch-screen driven user interface. It has a 2.8inch LCD screen, with 16 million colours, thanks to the new Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode technology. It also has a resolution of 400 x 280 pixels, which is quite good for phones. Even more amazing is its 8-megapixel camera, something that is only present in smartphones and dedicated for picture-capture phones, like the Sony Ericsson K series. It also plays a variety of audio and movie formats, MP3, WMA, DivX and XviD. There is little doubt that this is one of the best multimedia phones around.
On top of all these features, the Tocco Ultra has a 72-megabyte memory and a MicroSD memory card slot that stores up to 16GB. In terms of size, it is a little thinner, at about 12.7mm, than the Samsung Soul. The best part of it is that it gives the user total freedom of choice between the three interfaces, a full touch-screen driven user interface, keypad driven interface and lastly, the combination of both. Mobile phone reviews often comment on the difficulty of typing when using touch-screen phones. However, this is never a problem with the Samsung Tocco Ultra, since it allows the user to switch to the keypad for easier typing.
The only downside of this product is the omission of Wi-Fi technology. Nevertheless, Internet browsing is possible through WAP.
