Tracy , Folkestone , “Style and looks come first”
Score 6.0/10+ The Battery life is fantastic
- A nightmare to set up your email on the phone took 1 hour on the phone with Orange and still not working. The colour is awful will never get a white phone again.

Jay, Northampton , “Style and looks come first”
Score 9.0/10+ Very easy and intuiative navigation interface, responsive touchscreen, easy to customise shortcuts and move them about the three scrolling home screens. Great to text on with large on screen buttons in either portrait or landscape mode (with full qwerty keyboard) ideal for my man sized fingers!, expandable memory with upto 8GB micro SD card, good music player with a decent speaker. Quick link buttons to many handy web sites, YouTube, Google, etc. Great easy system for connecting devices or other phones via bluetooth. A great priced phone with lots of the same features of more expensive Samsung touchscreen. Looks classy and understated in black and battery life has been excellent.
- Camera quality is not great at 3mp, certainly in dull light pictures can be poor as there is no flash, that said you can adjust the brightness and general image/scene settings depending on the shot you are taking. The standard games are poor and don't make use of the touchscreen very well or the movement/orientation of the phone. Internet is not 3G so is a bit slow but still usable, I checked eBay no problem, just don't exect instant loading. Finally get a good case as I think the screen could get marked if floating about in pockets/bags etc, I also got a mini screen cloth that is great to wipe off finger prints and smudges.

Anonymous verified purchaser , “Style and looks come first”
Score 6.0/10+ The tocco lite is very easy to carry around and simply looks good. It automatically locks itself (as in the touchscreen) when having phonecalls. All in all it is a very simple and compact phone.
- The bad points are that it is a bit hard to use the touch screen sometimes e.g when pressing the little green box to call an contact. Having a little pen device makes the use of it easier. The thing i dont like about this, that the vibration does not seem as intensive as for the other phones i had.
