Samsung F480

Advantages: Innovative, fun to use
Disadvantages: takes getting used to

...I got the Samsung F480 recently as a free upgrade from my contract provider, I don't think I would have paid for this phone as I'm fairly clumsy and wouldn't have been convinced the large screen would have lasted more than a month. The phone itself however isn't as fragile as it looks and I haven't managed to do any damage to it yet (Despite dropping it on several occasions and sitting on it once.) I'm not going to go in all the technical details of the phone as I don't think they provide you what you really need to know about the phone so I'll stick to the stuff that I use a mobile for. Navigating you way round the menu's on the phone is fairly easy and I find the touchscreen quite innovative, the menu's follow the standard Samsung format and you can find everything you need quite easily, the phone is obviously an attempt to rival...

Samsung F-480 (Tocco)

Advantages: Incredibly stylish and functional
Disadvantages: None as of yet!

...At first a little apprehensive, after always having Samsung products i wondered if it would live up to it's rivals! It does! The F480 (Or Tocco as commonly known) is an excellent example in it's class. The camera at first glance is a little dissapointing but with a the correct settings and when pictures uploaded onto your computer, the quality really shines through. Simple, easy to use functions and the ultra responsive touch screen are an asset to this mobile phone. The widget feature is brilliant, although a little too responsive and sometimes frustrating! Basic menu functions include, text messages, phone book, my files, applications, music player etc and more! Little hidden extra gems included, such as world clock (which can be viewed in the widget) converter, video editor, voice recorder and the uber impressive music...

Be the F1 World Champion

Advantages: Great realism, graphics and sound
Disadvantages: Game can take a while to play

...F1 World Grand Prix For Dreamcast This formula 1 racing game follows the 1998 racing season. Therefore, all the 11 teams and 22 drivers are set out as they were in that year. At the time of the game’s creation, the Williams team did not have two drivers, so one of the drivers for the Williams team is listed as, “Williams Driver.” The game has 4 main playing options which are, Single race Championship Time attack Match race (2 player option) If you are looking to just have a short go on the game, the single race option is just the ticket. However, if you want to follow the season from start to finish, you may want to enter the championship option which takes you through all 16 rounds of the 1998 season. If you want to try and better yourself, you can enter the time attack option whereby you try and beat...

The Samsung SGH - F480

Advantages: Looks great, has lots of useful functions and you can personalise it to your exact needs.
Disadvantages: Slow internet, hardly ever get a 3G signal and the text messaging keypad could be improved.

...The Samsung SGH - F480, also known as the Samsung Tocco is an ultra-stylish touch screen mobile phone. With its great looks and its 5 mega pixel camera the Samsung Tocco is one of the best choice of touch screen mobile phones out on the market today. It is so simple to use yet there are so many different functions built into it so you can do to it to make it exactly how you want. Like many other phones, as soon as you turn the phone on you are greeted with your home-screen. On the tocco's home-screen there is a sliding bar along the side called the touch wiz where you can store all of your favourite applications, such as your music player, and simply drag them onto the main screen of the phone when you want to use it. This is a great function as if you like to have a clear home-screen on your phone it allows you to have one just by...

Sumsung SGH-F480

Advantages: Great value for money, Mobile TV, Internet surfing is fun, great looking
Disadvantages: Not good for texting, makes texting slow (not due to it being touch screen)

...Being my first touch screen phone, i was surprised how nice it is to use a touch screen phone. This phoe is the best little piece of technology i have come accross. Its 5MP camera is also full of wonderful features, and it can take a while for you to get the hang of configuring it to get the best picture results. I txt a lot using my phone, so i was worried when buying a touch screen phone to text.... I would say it is not as bad as i thought it would be, its quite easy to still text fast the same way you would in a normal button phone. However, the one big mistake samsung made is with their software regarding touch screen texting. Its hard to type short texts like "2mo" or "going 2" because the numbers are furthest away from the whole alphabets and symbols. For example, to type the number 2 in a text, takes 8 clicks/touchs on this...

F? F ? F ? Fainting

Advantages: A natural bodily reflex
Disadvantages: Slightly inconvenient and very disorientating, could get injured in fall

...Yesterday I had my first experience at fainting. It was quite scary as I didn't know what had happened or have any idea of the length of time which had passed. Fainting seems to be one of those things that everyone has a very basic idea of why they happen, and how to treat them, and yet people's views on how to deal with it still differ at the same time. °°°Intro°°° Fainting is related to your heart, circulation, blood pressure and breathing, and can be triggered by different factors in different people. It is sometimes referred to as 'your body's way of getting you to lie down' while oxygen carrying blood finds its way to the brain. More than one thing may be the cause of fainting and sometimes a specific cause will not be found. °°°My story°°° I was working in a chemistry practical lesson, measuring out chemicals to use in...

The F* Word

Advantages: It´s good to have some.
Disadvantages: It´s not so good not to have any.

...HOW IT ALL BEGAN The caves our ancestors moved in after coming down from the trees didn´t have parquet flooring, oh no, they were dirty and full of rocks of different sizes. Where did the Flintstones put the mammoth cutlet after taking it out of the fire? They put it on a rock with an even surface, of course, thus inventing the table. In the beginning they squatted round it during their meals but one day one member of the tribe sat down on a smaller stone and discovered that that was more comfortable and with this action the chair was born. Where to keep the provisions what with hungry sword tooth tigers and other beasts lurking in the vicinity? Fred and Wilma Flintstone put them into natural clefts into which they had hewn some steps so that the things wouldn´t all be muddled up and rolled a stone in front of them - cupboard...

Samsung F480 - Its good but its not great

Advantages: Good features and applications, good looking phone
Disadvantages: Touch screen too sensitive, poor battery life, poor flash facility on camera

...The Samsung SGH-F480 is a great looking, slimline sleek little phone, but in my opinion these touch screen mobiles are vastly over-rated. The F480 has a wide range of features, camera, mp3, radio, camcorder, bluetooth etc etc and the quality of the features is never in doubt, its simply too sensitive! For instance when making a phone call, you push the phone too closely to your ear and you cut off the caller! Subsequently, you cannot hear the caller as you are trying not to press the phone too hard against your ear. You need to access touch buttons whilst in call and it takes you 2 or three buttons before you can access this. Also beware when the call requires you to select numeric options - after you have finally accessed the keyboard on the screen you may have been cut off or if you do get it to work in time the automated caller...

Samsung F480 - Sleek, funky phone

Advantages: Easy to use, long battery life
Disadvantages: Texting takes a while to get used to

...I have had this phone for about 2 weeks now, and have to say its absolutely ace! Firstly, the look is so sleek, I previously had the Nokia N95, which even though it was a good phone, was a bit on the chunky side! The Samsung F480 is very sexy, is thin, and stylish and the touch screen is ace. Texting takes a bit of getting used to, but I'm just about getting there now! The touch screen isn't hard to use, its actually very easy and the menus are all easy to navigate around too. I have been very impressed with the battery life of this phone, my old N95 ran out of battery after about 2 days of normal use, the Samsung F480 has lasted 5/6 days, so I'm only having to charge it around once a week. I would recommend this phone to anyone!...
