Samsung Tocco F480 reviews round-up

What do other reviewers think of the Samsung Tocco F480? We round up key opinions from leading experts online and in print

(4/5)	Mobile Choice "These are small prices to pay for what is surely the most successfully realised touch-screen phone after Apple's. Even though iPhone users will find it hard to adjust to the user interface (scrolling down a screen is the opposite of the flicking upwards movement Apple uses), they will be glad of the smaller size and 3G connection."

(8.0/10)	CNET.co.uk “While the Tocco isn't quite an iPhone killer, it does look very stylish and offer up a plethora of great features, including an impressive camera and HSDPA support for speedy Web downloads. In our book, that still makes it one of the best touchscreen phones around at the moment.” Read the CNET.co.uk Samsung Tocco F480 review

(4/5)	What Mobile “The Tocco isn't as impressive as the iPhone. What does stand out though is the widgets screen that allows you to drag and drop widgets from the side panel onto the background. This means you get super-fast access to the most important features and functions.” Read What Mobile's Samsung Tocco F480 review in the August 2008 issue

(4/5)	Stuff.tv “The Tocco Widgets are cool enough, though it’s a matter of taste whether you’ll prefer this or the icons on the iPhone. And unlike Apple’s first dog-and-bone, this one’s 3G, with spanking 7.2Mbps speeds. This is lucky as, unlike the iPhone, there’s no Wi-Fi on board the Tocco – an oversight, surely?” Read the Stuff.tv Samsung Tocco F480 review

(4/5)	Mobile Phones UK “The Samsung F480 Tocco is a high-spec touchscreen phone that offers fantastic features in a sexy ultraslim package. The features include a 5 megapixel camera, music player, FM radio, ultra-fast 3G web browsing and just about the most memory we've seen in a mobile phone! If the screen had been a bit larger we'd have given it 5 stars.” Read Mobile Phones UK's Samsung Tocco F480 review

(70%)	The Register “The Tocco improves on previous Samsung touchscreen mobiles, with a more responsive and improved user interface. The phone looks pretty fine too. One downside of such a compact, pocketable build, though, is the lack of screen space and consequently, finger room. The mid-tier feature line-up, headlined by the five-megapixel camera, is decent enough, and the widgets idea works neatly as a bonus feature, too.” Read the Register Samsung Tocco F480 review

(4/5)	TechRadar.com “It's certainly a very stylish phone and it ups the ante on its predecessors the Armani and the F490 by being practical and fun to use as well. In fact, if it weren't for the presence of touchscreen titans like the iPhone and HTC's Touch Diamond, it would clearly stand out from most of the competition.” Read the TechRadar.com Samsung Tocco F480 review

(8/10)	Trusted Reviews “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. This is Samsung's best touchscreen effort to date." Read the Trusted Reviews Samsung Tocco F480 review
