Samsung Tocco F480

I have wanted this phone for MONTHS, and so when I finally got it last week I was made up!!!!! I'm just going to jump right in here rather than nattering on!!! LOOK: The phone is a rectangle shaped slide phone, when closed it's about 10cm tall and 5cm wide, and 1cm deep. It's a very dark grey colour with a deep red line around the outside, the keypad is also this same deep red. There are three buttons on the front, a call button a call end button/on-off ...
...slide the phone up. There is a small camera at the front of the phone, used for video calling (which you have to set up with your network provider separetly). Two buttons on the right hand side (a hold/keys locked button and camera button) along with the charging station, and a volume key on the left hand side. When you slide the phone up, you see the camera on the back of the phone, which is 8 megapixels. The screen is huge, and takes up most of ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition 8-megapixel camera 3G Auto focus Camera face detection Bluetooth® Quadband. Touchscreen with keypad. Having recently upgraded to the tocco ultra I thought I would tell you a little about the phone. This is the first touch screen phone I have owned and I have to say I have found it very easy to use. As it is a Samsung, they have stayed true to their concept of using numbers to choose certain options and there is ...
...straight away having used a Samsung G600 for 18 months. The home screen has a column neatly tucked to the left hand side which you can open and are then presented with a widgets, which allow you quick access to things such as profiles, favourites, calendar, orange world etc. You can customise which widgets you want and also move them around in a different order or take them out of the bar and then put them permantly onto your home screen. The camera ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

I have owned the Samsung Tocco F480 for around 6 months now and continue to be amazed by its poor ability to perform! I ordered this mobile on T-Mobile and can't seem to get a full signal in any area of my home town. I can't even get signal in my own home! This may not be a problem with the phone but I thought was worth a mention to anyone who may be considering getting one with T-Mobile. When I first recieved the Tocco I was quite impressed by ...
...to let me down 10 minutes later! It seems to crash and the "widget" screen freezes when trying to use - VERY ANNOYING!! Especially when trying to make an urgent phone call! This tends to happend between 1-3 times per day! As for the text messaging screen, if im honest I find it rediculous! The buttons barely recognise being pressed, if you press them harder you end up with a number or even a letter from the opposite side of the pad! I wouldn't recommend ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

The Samsung Tocco F480. New. Stylish. Easy to use. Everything you could want in a phone right? Well thats debatable, but in my opinion its a pretty awesome phone, and well worth the money. The Tocco is not only a good looking phone - it has a brushed metal finish - but comes with a leather case to help protect it from scratches. It also has a really good resolution which means the great quality of the touch screen will just keep on lasting. In ...
...a bit annoying. In conclusion the Samsung Tocco is great, but might not suit everyone, so I do very much reccomend buying it, but only if you've checked it out a bit yourself. Details: Size: 98 x 55 x 11.6 mm Talktime: 3 hours Battery standby: 250 hours ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

...store, I decided that the Samsung F480 otherwise known as the "Tocco" was my new-phone-to-be. I took him home, carelessly stripped off his clothes and admired him up close and personal. The sleek smoothness of his skin felt good in my hands; he had an athletically sleek build and I loved the way we fit when he cuddled up to my ear. We were inseparable - spending lots of time taking photos with his 5 megapixel camera: the quality was amazing compared ...
...guy - he had widgets which I found very useful for navigation. He recognised songs that I couldn't and played a great choice of tunes for me (72 polyphonic plus MP3). I loved his Java games. With wap, bluetooth, MMS and the standard items like clock, calendar, stopwatch and converters he made a great other half and I was happy but I was soon to learn that a change was gonna come ==How we grew apart== After a few months of fun, I needed more. Yes, ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

...it's also worth noting that samsung have added anti-shake software to counter any wobbling and things such as smile shot(taking a photo only when a smile is detected) and face detection make the camera very fun to use. The video quality is also top notch and this phone is brilliant for those who use their phone as there primary camera/video recorder (one area where the tocco ultra completely trumps the new iphone) The Aesthetics The AMOLED screen ...
...The Samsung tocco ultra isn't a smartphone and is a tad annoying to use at times, but if what your after is a good looking mobile with great multimedia feature's then it's worth having a look at - though I would suggest you ask to try it out before buying. ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

...my contract. I've had several Samsung phones over the years and this is the best yet. It is easy to use (although touch screen texting took me a little while to get used to) and does everything I could expect of it. The camera is excellent, offering 5 megapixels and a very decent flash. The music player is no iPod but is very good. The touch screen is ultra responsive which for me is a major highlight for this phone. The menus are easy to use and ...
...the one which controls the sound profiles as it is quick and easy to use if you need to silence your phone in a hurry. Some of the widgets are a bit useless, and I can't work out how to use the birthdays one at all. The internet on this phone is not the best - completely incomparable with iPhone but for looking at sites with proper mobile function such as facebook it is OK, runs fairly quickly and is easy to navigate. The battery life is good - ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

I've had my samsung tocco phone for 8 months and haven't encountered any major problems with it. On the whole it's a decent little touch screen phone for the money but some improvements could be made! it's a light, easy to handle phone and I haven't had any real problems using the touch screen, but I have fairly small fingers, being a woman, and know some guys who have had trouble using the touch screen because they have chunkier fingers! The camera ...
...short clips of video rather than you dictating the length of the video clip which can be annoying. The sound quality is clear and the phone is easy to use and works well with mobile games. The only gripe I have with it is the screen cover it comes with which gets in the way when you're texting, it would be much better if you could fold the cover back behind the phone when in use. Also, even with the screen cover on you can still accidentally press ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

...was the Orange website. The Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition really stood out, the specifications list seemed fantastic and so I decided this was the phone to go for. Waited eagerly for its arrival... On getting the phone I was very impressed with how it looked, very sleek and stylish. Quite a large phone, but also thin so that made up for it. Easily fit in my back jeans pocket. On turning the phone on I was pleasantly surprised at how crystal clear the ...
...and just got my old Samsung g600 repaired (so much easier to use!) So in general I guess I would award this phone with 5 out of 10. If the touch screen worked better it would score higher, especially if touch screen is your kind of thing, but I have decided it is just not for me. ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

I recently purchased a Samsung Tocco on a contract basis. I have nothing but praise for this product. I have Artheritis and find it extreamly hard to use normal phones with a keyboard because of strength needed and the little space between each key. Since purchasing this phone i have felt some independance back as i can get back in touch with friends via text! I have found the touch sensitive brillent it is extreamly easy to use to does exactly what ...
...only thing that is on your screen is your prefered picture, once your press the widget you can see the time and date ect and it is not cloging up the screen however you are able to drag and drop these on to your screen if you so wish. The main menue is a press away and gives all the normal applications, phonebook, message, calander, applications and so forth. It is extreamly easy to use the phonebook. The messages are easy to create at fast speed. ...

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

In my opinion, this is a very attractive looking phone, with a slim design in a desirable colour, this is a very good look to have carrying around with you. The Tocco is a reliable product and is very robust, yet has a limited amount of features. For the simple use of mobile phones, this is very good, with easy text messaging and phone calling, you can also easily video call contacts with it's superb 5 mega pixel camera. It's easy to use touch screen ...

...phone, as i only used samsung phone i decided to look whats out there on the market. The samsung tocco ultra edition in seagrass blue caught my eye. It had the latest technologu, a fantastic camera, it was at a resonable price, fashionable... just the mobile i was looking for. I havent insured my phone as i stupidly thought i wouldnt break or damage this one. I purchased a screen protector off ebay to prevent scratches on the touch-screen. One time ...

Also if you need to get out of difficult conversations or situations you dont want to be in the phone has a feature known as "fake call" all you have to do it press the volume button in and your phone will ring as if you have and incoming call, you can also record a voice to put on the other end of the line.

Review of Samsung Tocco F480

When I first got this phone I fell in love with it but after having it for little over 6 months I noticed things slowly going wrong with it. This didnt amuse me as I was in for an 18month contract with it. The battery life doesn't last very long any more and there is rarely ever any signal. A lot of the time the phone will just freeze and you cannot do anything with it. The touch screen is quite sensitive still but again freezes now and then. It ...

I received this phone as a gift from a family member and i was very pleased with it it has many great features such as GPS. I am extremely happy with the quality of the AMOLED touch screen which is really clear and sharp. The GPS seems to receive quite a good signal wherever i am. The mobile also has sensors on the front that disables the buttons and screen when you are holding it to your face and activates them when you take it away from it. The ...
