Samsung Tocco F480 Reviews
TrustedReviews reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“The Tocco is easy to use, the Widgets feel gimmicky but actually work quite well, and the camera, apart from its shutter lag problem, is good for a mobile phone. As I’ve come to expect from Samsung, battery life is impressive too..”

Mobile Choice UK reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“Pros: Samsung gives Apple a run for its money and offers definite improvement, such as a great camera and 3G, all in a stylish, compact handset.
Cons: The Tocco lacks a QWERTY keyboard, and texting can be fiddly. The lack of Wi-Fi is disappointing.”

CNET Australia reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“Like the F700, the Armani phone and a couple of other touchscreen handsets out there, the F480 also supports haptic feedback. This is becoming commonplace for handsets that use a touchscreen LCD for data input. On the F480, this is achieved using the on-screen version of the standard alphanumeric keypad. We found the touch buttons large enough that typing wasn’t too much of a problem.”

GSM Arena reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“The 2.8″ QVGA screen is capable of showing up to 262K colors. As we found out, the widescreen resolution of the Samsung F490 is by no means that hip as it sounds. Obviously the 16:9 aspect ratio did bring more compatibility issues than great benefits with some applications. Therefore we feel happy that Samsung returned to the good old QVGA for Samsung F480… It has great contrast and nice saturated colors. The brightness is also good enough to convince us that this is one of the best Samsung displays we have seen.”

StuffTV reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“Compact, good-looking and responsive, the Tocco is one of the slickest touchscreen phones out there…There is some redemption thanks to the excellent camera. Not only is it a 5MP model, it has grown-up features like face detection, image stabilisation and smile shutter, which sees the camera take a shot automatically when it sees a grinning mug.”

Phone Arena reviews the Samsung F480 and writes;
“As expected, all software functions are modified ones from other Samsung phones. The phonebook is the one from the high-class models, with option to add multiple additional fields. The same goes for the Calendar, Alarms and other organizer options. The music player ‘filter menu’ is also from the high-class models, and thankfully the now playing interface has nothing to do with the Croix – it shows the art cover, the track information and the buttons for control.”
