- the message t9 system decides what it will keep in its memory and what it won't which is irritating when you have spent the time putting it in because it wasn't there in the first place. Also the pictures for backgrounds, if you have taken a picture and want to use it for a background you have to make sure it is the right way up or it will display it sideways. If it does its a real faff to change it.

Score 6.0/10

+ Easy to use touchscreen, decent enough pictures and the text options.

- Camera delay is frustrating and not suitable for taking a quick snap, very basix features on on the, thr touchscreen makes the phone look great but the applications are no better than any previous older style generation phones I had, not a patch on any of the new model phones. A bit over priced for the functions available.

Expert reviews for Samsung F480 Tocco

TechRadar expert review

Samsung, like most of the major phone manufacturers, has occasionally been guilty of making phones that put style over substance, that look great but don't deliver what their catwalk looks promise. Fortunately, the Tocco doesn't quite fall into that category. It's certainly got the style thing sorted, following on from Samsung's other touch screen tasties like the Armani and the F490.It's a petite, minimalist, slimline slab with brushed metal back, shiny metal surround and sleek black plastic on the front, framing that large 2.8in touch screen.While the screen dominates the front…
