It’s hard to say if this elusive new touchscreen handset will indeed be slotted between a few of Samsung’s other UltraTouch phones, but either way, we’re digging it. We get the feeling this so-called S8000 was already shown to us in that now-famous slide of Sammy’s upcoming lineup, but the whole “blur factor” kept us from really keying in on it. At any rate, we’re really feeling the style presented here, and despite the fact that we know absolutely nothing about its specifications (save for the flash-equipped 5MP camera), we definitely want to hold one. Check the read link for a few more (amazingly clear) looks.

We’ve seen some pretty exciting gems from Samsung of late, but this, friends, isn’t one of them. The overly simplistic C3310 slider is aimed squarely at emerging markets and barely provides anything more than the basics required to make and receive calls / texts. For what it’s worth, the phone does include a basic camera, FM tuner, an MP3 player, USB connectivity, microSD card slot and quad-band GSM support. There’s no word on how pricey (or cheap, we should say) this will be when it splashes down in China and certain European countries, but we hear prospective buyers will get to choose from silver, black or blue hues. Fancy!
