Introduction
According to Samsung this year is the year of touch, at least they have announced mostly touchscreen handsets at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Besides Omnia HD and Beat DJ we have seen the handset called UltraTouch as well, and we already have it for review. The last time we had a handset for testing so shortly after the announcement was in the case of B&O Serenata and this means that the subject of our current review has been under development since a while ago and the handset they have display at Barcelona has practically been a near-final one.
The most problematic feature of touchscreen handsets (their real Achilles heel) is typing. A virtual keyboard can be extremely precise, it can have large buttons with a logical layout, it is still impossible to recreate a feeling of pressure point, characteristic of real keyboards. BlackBerry Storm is the first handset where we have a screen that can be pressed and it’s closer to a real keyboard’s feeling, but it’s still not perfect.
An iPhone, a Meizu, or a Prada can be tricky or cool, but I would never start writing an email on any of them. Samsung UltraTouch tries to solve this problem by having a sliding keyboard and still providing full touchscreen functionality. There has been a similar phone before, it was LG KF750, but that wasn’t a fully touchscreen device.
