Tocco

Advantages: easy, cool looking
Disadvantages: freezes up when you click the screen too many times.

...I am with T- Mobile and my 18 month plan was finishing up (this year March) so I had to find a new phone. To replace my old Nokia, which I have to say I had, had enough of. So searching through phones that had recently came out I found the Samung Tocco. This phone was everything i needed in a phone. Plus it was pretty good looking, with a high pixel camera (5.0). I hadn't heard much about the Samsung Tocco so I had to make my own mind up about it. When I got the Tocco it was pretty hard to get a hold of. I had to figure out which button went where and what the widgets are. But once I had mastered this which only took a couple of hours it was easy to use. The touch screen allows easy movability. What else I liked about the phone was that it came with a protective case. This protective case is small and covers part of the back...

Tocco or not Tocco - that is the question

Advantages: Sleek, multi-functional little gadget
Disadvantages: Not brilliant as a phone

...an 8 GB memory card, a radio, a stopwatch, a world clock...no, I just wanted to make calls and send texts. Then my contract expired and I realised I wanted a new phone and to take a leaf out of my husband's book and go for something new - something that represented a step up from my old phone and into new territory. So I found myself in T-Mobile testing out several phones and the touchscreen on the Samsung FH 480 Tocco swung it for me - never mind the whistles and bells, the touchscreen represented the future to me, and was what had me signing the contract in the T-Mobile shop. I got my phone free with my Combi 25 contract which lasts 18 months. The Tocco is a beautiful piece of kit - the touchscreen is large and easy to use. The screen has a Widget, which shows the time, date, your calendar and you can place your music player here...

The Tocco - One Classy Bird

Advantages: Sleek, Easy to Use,
Disadvantages: Bit Expensive if Bought Outright

...I first got my Samsung Tocco [it's more commonly known as a Tocco than the SGH-F480] to a feeling of relief. My Dad had ordered it as part of our switch-over from the dastardly BT to the incredibly accommodating Virgin. However, after several bad experiences with ordering phones over the internet I was fully expecting a full week or two to go by before I was the owner of the Tocco. Not so, as the day after I spoke to a lovely bloke called Nick over the phone my Tocco arrived. Not only did it arrive, intact and shiny, but there were a number of added things in the box, such as some decent in ear headphones, a swish leather case and the elusive USB cable which with every other phone I have ever ordered has come at least two days after my phone. So, my Tocco and I got off to a good start together. The box was all arty and attractive...

Review of Samsung SGH-F480

the tocco is great fun!!!

Advantages: very responsive touch screen, great range of features
Disadvantages: price if buying it on pay as you go.

...When it came time to renew my contract, i had already decided i wanted a phone which had the touch screen technology, but i was unsure which one to get, as the ones i had previously looked at or tried seemed to have a delay in touch the screen and the required action being performed. However when i came to looking at the samsung tocco F-480 i was very pleasantly surprised. The phone had everything that i required in a phone and more!!! So i am writing this review in appreciation of what i think is a really great and easy to use piece of mobile technology. Price:- As i got the phone on an 18 month contract i am not paying for the phone as such, however i have looked into buying this particular phone on a pay as you go basis and the price ranges between £170-190. Now this does seem like a lot of money for a phone, so if you can get it...

Samsung Tocco - you can't put it down!

Advantages: slim, touchscreen, good lay-out, 5.0megapixel camera
Disadvantages: takes some getting used to, scratchability

...The Samsung SGH-F480, also known as the Samsung Tocco has been readily available on the market since June 2008. Since the release of the first touch screen phones and the ensuing craze which followed, this phone has been long awaited in its arrival due to its availability on more networks and at a better price. The features offered by this phone are well displayed and presented and the phone as a whole looks great. With a little practise (it only took me a few hours!) the touch screen becomes easy to use but this is mainly due to the fact that such a novelty object is hard to put down! The main feature which i like is the large screen which means all photos and videos look great, which is of course helped along by the fact that the camera is 5.0megapixels! My only complaints would be that i'm very aware of the touch screen in that...

Samsung Tocco. Toc to me? Oh no. You can't.

Advantages: It's a phone...
Disadvantages: ... when it works

...*NEGA REVIEW!* This phone is so obviously trying to leech off the success that is the iPhone with its touch sensitivity. When I read that Samsung was releasing a touch screen phone called the Tocco I literally spat out a mouthful of putrefied goat's milk. Tocco is Italian for touch, so how many hotpots and involving how many Samsung executives for the Korean company were used when deciding on the name for the phone? It's like mixing kimchi with ice cream. With such a fusion of epic nastiness, you would also expect the phone to be a sod load of puck, and it is! The touch sensitivity is appalling, absolutely atrocious. I have used this sad excuse for a touch phone and I could not initiate any precision touch sensitivity at all. You would have better luck persuading a Lion to be a vegetarian. You need to press down with your entire...

Tocco's Totally Top

Advantages: Super-Sleek, Stylish, Great camera and sound quality, battery life is good and charges superfast
Disadvantages: User Interface and menus seem a little sluggish and design seems incomplete

...laid on my desk for days giving off the beep that it has a low battery so standby time is great too, verging on excellent. The menus and interfaces just seem a little rushed, unfinished design-wise. It has the Vista style sidebar which is useful but not something I really use much. I never really explored the widgets as I have an iPhone and this was used solely as a personal phone. The quality of the product is what I noticed most about the Tocco when I got it. It was the phone I chose when T-Mobile offered me a free upgrade on my personal account. My business is run with 02 because of our landline and broadband connection, and now our iPhones. The all round quality and feel of the product, even the weight (although not heavy) was what set it asside from all my previous phones. My first phone right through to the end of uni has always...
