Samsung Tocco Editor's Review
Samsung officially introduced the F480, also called Samsung SGH-480, in February 2008. In various parts of the world, the phone is also called Samsung TouchWiz. In an effort to consciously adapt to differing regions, there will be differing names as it is marketed and sold throughout the world. In the UK, for example, the phone will be known more popularly as the Samsung Tocco. Aptly named, Tocco is the Italian translation for the word Touch. It was launched in the UK in May 2008.
Visually, the Samsung Tocco is a touchscreen phone in a subtly chrome-trimmed, aluminum candybar design integrated with a black silk finish. Because of its sleek external features, the Tocco is said to be at par with the Samsung Armani and the LG Prada phones. Users can opt to doll up the Samsung Tocco with leather cover to make it look like a fashionable accessory besides being a utilitarian device.
A bigger part of the Samsung Tocco's front part takes up the 71.12-millimeter QVGA 262,000-colour screen that is engineered with the sensing technology called TouchWiz on its user interface. The handset's touch-sensitive feature is driven by its reception of the user's finger rather than of mere touch. In this regard, the screen cannot be possibly activated by other objects besides the finger. In this light, closest comparisons have been between Apple's touchscreen iPhone and the Samsung F700. The Tocco belongs to the same mobile phone model or line as Samsung F490, sold as F490 Nerva in the UK.
This gorgeous touchscreen displays 240 x 320 pixels that ensure high resolution. It is a lightweight at a fixed 100.6 grams, which is considerably slim for a 3G-enabled mobile phone. The handset's dimensions at 11.8mm x 55mm x 95.9mm also make this mobile an ultra slim fashion phone. Expectedly, the device is easy to carry because it is essentially a pocket-friendly mobile phone. Moreover, its clutter-free design fits the user's hand just right. Its touch buttons are large enough for users to type, hence, the touchscreen feature is a breeze to use.
Appearance aside, the Samsung Tocco also boasts of other key features. It is 3G-enabled, with a downloading rate that reaches a maximum of 7.2 Megabytes per second, thanks to the HSDPA technology. It is also a triband mobile phone driven by Edge, GSM and GPRS technologies. It runs on a 1000 mAh battery that offers a standby duration of 300 hours and talk time of roughly 3 hours. It can also store an enormous number of files with a 240-Megabyte internal memory. This built-in memory can be expanded by adding a microSD memory of up to 8 Gigabytes.
The Samsung Tocco also houses a 5-Megapixel digital camera complete with LED flash, face-detection capability and autofocus. The built-in camera has a stabiliser which ensures steady photo shots that prevent hand movements from affecting the clarity and overall quality of the shots. It flaunts its video features that allow playback and recording of video footages. In addition, there are easy-to-navigate and user-friendly video editing applications for enhancing purposes of videos recorded. It even allows streaming of videos in MPEG4, H263 and H264 formats.
The Samsung Tocco also has a music player for user entertainment, which supports MP3, AAC and AAC audio formats. It also carries an RDS-enabled FM radio to boot. It introduces a certain feature it coins as Shazam, which resembles the TrackID system of Sony Ericsson handsets. The Shazam service identifies the track that the user is listening to. The Tocco's phone-to-compatible-device connectivity is possible with its Bluetooth 2.0-supporting feature that comes with the A2DP technology.
With its winning features that users expect of modern handsets, the Samsung Tocco has not escaped criticisms, although not too many. According to a user, it may be a deal-breaker that it is missing Wi-Fi connectivity. Others have said the phone would have better chances of emerging as a stronger product in the market if it functioned on quadband for better world roaming functionality.

The Samsung Tocco has been a huge success for Samsung in the UK, and many months after its launch it has finally made its way to the US as the Samsung Delve. The TouchWiz widget based interface will continue to impress around the world.

It's good but it's just not as good as the iPhone or the new LG Arena. The interface is OK but a bit clumsy, and the touch screen is super sensitive which makes it a bit hard to use for texting as I type lots of letters by mistake. That said, the quality of photos is impressive and I also use the radio which is good because it doesn't have much space for music.

Hardly any phones come with a decent case but this one does which is a great move, especially because it's a touch screen and otherwise that could get damaged easily. The whole thing itself does seem a bit delicate though. Nice design in black, and it has never crashed or anything like that. My friend has an LG Viewty but I think that this is much easier to use and I can find everything easily on the menus.

It has loads of good features but it doesn't have as good reception as the Nokia 6300. I know it's the phone, not the network, because they are on the same network and the 6300 works all around my house and the Tocco just doesn't. But anywhere else, it's good.

The camera on the Samsung Tocco is good for everything except moving shots. Then it gets really blurry. Other than that it has autofocus and a flash which is OK for closeups but doesn't do anything for night shots of buildings or backgrounds. Still, not bad for a mobile phone.

I got the Tocco like a year ago and am still happy with it. I use it for the internet when I'm travelling and the browser is awesome with the touchpad to drag the pages around. Except that I can't get Adobe Flash to work on the browser. I use the email program with my Gmail account with IMAP so that all the emails are still there when I use my computer. Sometimes it hangs a bit just before it syncs with Gmail, but that might be the network, not the phone.

This thing is terrible. I just can't use the touchscreen to type. Don't know why they couldn't also have a normal keypad, just for texting. Call quality and all the normal phone stuff is fine though.

I absolutely love my Samsung Tocco. I really think it looks better than the new Tocco Ultra. It's really easy to use and the camera is good although I do keep running out of space for my music and need to get a MicroSD card for it.

I really liked this phone when I bought it, for around 3 days. The list of gripes is enormous. The picture quality of the camera is awful, the inability to have a secure screensaver is frustrating, the inability to delete garbage words from the predictive text dictionary is absolutely painful given that garbage words are all too easily added to the dictionary all the time when browsing the web on it because of different default text entry modes being used.. there's no way to delete the preset images that come on as the screensaver or as the default available backgrounds, no way to rotate images on the phone for use as screen backgrounds, the PC link software is completely bugged when used with Windows Vista. I would never buy a Samsung phone again, as soon as I get the chance I will be back with Nokia.

I just got this phone as a free upgrade. I am not a technohead at all but find it so easy to use and really like it a lot. I never used mobile internet before on my Motorolla, but its so easy with this phone and I transported all my music files with just the click of a mouse. It looks nice too. One great think is that its so easy to write a text and it doesn't immediately chuck you out if you click the wrong buttin (unlike my old phone)

I thought the Tocco would be too technical for me but decided to take the plunge and how pleased i am that i did!. I love everything about the phone, it looks and feels great, oozes quality! and I`ve found it a breeze to use.......so easy!. The touch screen is very responsive and so simple to navigate around; a big plus for a technophobe like me!.Done things on the tocco i found too complicated on other phones. It`s even slim enough to slip into my wallet. Well done Samsung, I`m well impressed!

I have had my Samsung Tocco for over 3 months now. It is the first time I have had a touch screen phone and I must say I am extremely impressed by it. it is really easy to txt with and the menu is really easy to navigate. I'm a bit disappointed with the camera, although I just might not have mastered the settings for it yet.
The only complaint I have is that sometimes my phone calls cut off in mid converstation which is very irritating! other than that it's great.

I have the Samsung F480 Tocco in pink and it is a really beautiful looking phone. I must admit, it has taken me a while to get used to the touchscreen which was quite frustrating at first. The only gripe I have with the phone so far is that when I want to take a picture, the phone doesn't automatically go to camera mode when I press the shutter button and instead I have to fiddle about with it for a while. The phone came with headphones and a usb cable which was a bug plus for me. It also comes with quite a snazzy looking case to protect the touchscreen. All the phones I have owned previously have been nokias, but I don't regret buying the Samsung Tocco. It is stylish and pretty user friendly.

The samsung Tocco is easy to use very fast, texting from the touch screen keyboard is simple to use and a breeze to write with. everything is easy to find from the settings i can't normally find to phonebook. its nice and slim easy to hold and has a battery cover with a procter for the phone. the whole context is big enough to see rather then all this small icons and letter so anybody who has trouble seeing things on the phone because there to small this would be great. Highly recommend to everyone that would like a touch screen or has never tried one. Great picture quality boosting a 5mp and great smiling captions that the camra detects when someone smiles and takes the pic, good for the little ones when it takes ages to get one with them smiling.
Great phone best out there by far
