Reviewed by christy on 11/03/2010I love my new phone (Samsung F488) but cannot get caller id on it can anyone help me. thanks Rating: Reviewed by bob on 02/03/2010 i had this phone for 2 months now and its incredible i was worried about the faults that could occur but non of those problem happened to me i would 100% recommend this phone get it Rating: Reviewed by lisa lang on 20/02/2010 this is the worst phone ive had , touch screen is horrible it has a mind of its own . just sendind a basic tex is hard work i an currently selling it on ebay .never going near a touch screen again Rating: Reviewed by Too ashamed on 17/02/2010 Ok I have to admit I never listened to the bad reviews of this phone.I wish I did! I thought this was a sleek pink, and cheap device worth a go. So I got one for my birthday. Boy was I wrong! It may be nice looking but will you have to make a lot of changes to like this. First you may just never want to turn it on because the battery is awful. I keep my screen on lowest setting, and the haptic feedback off and it still dies on me in a day or two. I have to charge it every day. and it doesnt even indicate when it will die. It may just die when it feels like it, thanks samsung. Well done for making a rubbish phone for reliability! This is my first samsung after finally finishing the sony ericsson marathon for a change and it looks like the biggest mistake I ever made. Texting is bad too when I realised there is no qwerty keypad to text! The silly layout makes texting a pain and I am a heavy texter. On the plus side music is excellent on this phone and the camera quali ty is better than I expected but average video at 15fps. Overall it is pretty nice to look at but dont buy it even if it is cheap. I moved back to my k610im and I dont know why I didnt sooner. Million times better Rating: Reviewed by Julie on 16/02/2010 Hate it. Horrid to use, definitely need skinny fingers to text, awful buzzing sound in background that can't get rid of and samsung just don't reply to problem. Have had so many samsung phones but this one has put me off specially with no back up service Rating: Reviewed by jamie allen on 13/02/2010 it was a good phone at the start then it turned rubbish after 6 months it got sent away 3 times. so here is some advice stop making them for good. Rating: Reviewed by kate on 05/02/2010 its a good phone, its got an excellent camera, flash the lot. downsides though just like every phone, it can sometimes get abit slow, like the touch sometimes delays responce witch it quiet annoying, if you use the internet alot, dont get this phone unless you want to charge it every night, but other than that, if you want a camera phone this is the best great memory & excellent camera!!! Rating: Reviewed by danio :-) on 03/02/2010 The samsung tocco is a pretty good phone. The touch screen works very well and is very reponsive, The camera is okaii but for a 5 megapixals i thought it was rather poor compared to my last phone (LG Viewty) The widget menu is great and gives easy acess to the internet. The Phone is slim and very stylish and fits great in the pocket or hand. The big problem is the fact that the phone always drops calls which can be very frustrating. However the Samsung Tocco is a pretty good phone but there are better phones out there but i still think it deseves 4 stars :) Rating: Reviewed by Anonymous on 29/01/2010 This phone has good looks and i think the texting is easy! However, I try calling people and they can hear me and then they cant for about a second, so it isn't very good for calling people on. The earphones are brilliant very loud and clear. Not tried the internet yet but i'm sure it is brilliant. I got the phone a few days ago and i like it. Rating: Reviewed by Fezile on 29/01/2010 The web browser is very poor and speaker distorted sometimes. Yes great and beautiful phone otherwise Rating: Reviewed by Dr. Rufus Sha'Ato on 28/01/2010 I have enjoyed my Samsung F480 this past 2yrs. It is versatile alright. But I feel the touch tech should be coupled with alternatives. Right now I am having the problem that some of the keys are not responsive to the touch and is very frustrating! Otherwise, this is a great product. Rating: Reviewed by Vijendra Kumar H. on 27/01/2010 Amazing phone. I liked it the most even though there are certain drawbacks like you cannot find the incoming number whether it is from home/mobile/office when you have stored all numbers in a particular address book entry, you cannot name the camera files as per the date format etc. Also for the common man it is difficult to operate. But for tech savvys it is a feast :-) Overall best phone in that price segment. Rating: Reviewed by gemma on 25/01/2010 i think this phone is so rubbish had 2 of them the first one the speaker went when talking, and the second one was ok for 6 months until the touch screen went on it nothing but problems would never recommend Rating: Reviewed by Jane on 24/01/2010 I got this phone for my birthday when it was out. i Loved it and i found it quite easy to use but my friends to time to get use to. The camera is super clear all my pictures turn out fantastic. You can also listen to music and maybe send a text at the same times something that a Sony Ericsson would do and some samsung's. Texting is slightly like QWERTY phones if you turn it side ways! I love this phone the best i have ever owned. It was worth the money! :) Rating: Reviewed by Ashleigh on 22/01/2010 Omg.this is such a good phone! i know some people on here say it is rubbish but it is not trust me. i was doubting on getting it because people kept telling me that it was rubbish but this phone was worth every penny!go with your instinct and dont do what other people tell you!you wont regret this! hope this gives you some help? x Rating: Reviewed by Victoria on 18/01/2010 This phone has been really good for me. It has a good battery, which before I got my phone on the internet, seemed to last a week sometimes, lasts a fair while even browsing the net. The only big issue I have with this phone is that it doesn't have WIFI, if it did I would be happy to keep it and not bother upgrading. Apart from that, the only other issue I have with it is the flash on the camera, it is not very good, in the dark it is too bright and everyone squints and still the picture is low quality and is very dark. However the camera is excellent in natural light especially a sunny day. Touch screen is good, I have chosen the cover with the leather flap, a couple of friends have the same phone but did not use the cover with the leather flap and both have said the touch screens are temperamental, so I think it's best to keep the screen protected. Rating: Reviewed by swarti on 12/01/2010 rubbish Rating: Reviewed by Rehan Ivan on 11/01/2010 i love this phone and all my friends want it but the only thing the phone needs to improve on is the quality of the talking Rating: Reviewed by Dawn on 05/01/2010 DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! It constantly freezes, so much now that I can't actually use it. It flips between screens constantly on its own and you have to take the battery out to reset it. The battery life is terrible too, one long phone call and it gives up. It also has many features that you can't personalise despite it being marketed with that point! Don't bother with the Samsung, if you do, make sure you get phone insurance! Rating: Reviewed by Gina on 05/01/2010 I have had this phone for about 3 months now and I find it very frustrating! I fully charge it every day as if I leave it on and don't use it the battery wears down, fast! Sometimes, the phone will not fully charge either. The rest is really good, I like the camera and touch screen very easy to use but the battery life on my phone is rubbish! :( Rating: Reviewed by HappyHannah on 04/01/2010 I got this phone a year and a half ago- i am now about to get a new one, but with much reluctance. I LOVE this phone, it is amazing and has never let me down, the camera is great (flash is blinding!) and everything else! So easy to use. I would deffo recommend this phone:) Rating: Reviewed by Luke on 03/01/2010 Is a 10 out of 8 becaues it has know wifi and no gps but is ok Rating: Reviewed by Hannah on 02/01/2010 Good phone on the whole but for a mobile that is marketed as the most customisable phone, and you can't change the screensaver on 3 mobile, it's not so great. Otherwise fine... Rating: Reviewed by Higus on 02/01/2010 I've had the Tocco for over a year now and it's been horrible since then. The touch screen does not work often and the voice call quality is rubbish having to resort to talking on loud speaker. The menu is not the best! Rating: Reviewed by Glenn on 28/12/2009 best phone i have ever had, i have had the nokia n97s, i phones, gone back to the tocco f480 great phone never had a problem Rating: Reviewed by clare on 28/12/2009 i have just got this phone and so far ok , the only problem i have is how to turn off the 3g does anybody how Rating: Reviewed by Jess on 27/12/2009 Photo quality isn't brilliant Phone often freezes Rating: Reviewed by martin shurety on 26/12/2009 i am fed up with my tocco when i make a call it keeps disconecting the call do i need to return it to the shop Rating: Reviewed by Emily on 23/12/2009 Got this phone for christmas and it is awesome! :D I love it. Texting is easy for me but that is probably because I am used to the touch screen cause I have an itouch, but once you use it for awhile it gets easy. I can't figure out one thing though, does anyone know how to change the texting tone? Like when I recieve a text it does a little bleep and I want to change it to a song but I can't figure out how? Rating: Reviewed by Jimmy on 22/12/2009 Its the best ever i say get it Its all good Rating: Reviewed by Tj on 17/12/2009 F480 is good in many respects. The only annoying thing about it its inability to play YouTube videos. Rating: Reviewed by sueg on 15/12/2009 had the F480 for over 12months - cant wait to change it. Within a couple of weeks it had kept cutting me off after about 3 words. Would take about 3 attempts to keep connected. Took it back to carphone warehouse -was sent away.When returned seemed ok for a few weeks then started cutting me off again. All in all this phone has been sent back at least 3 times - the last it had new softwear. Better but still loses signal or cuts me off at times.Never any trouble with my old Nokia when using as back up. I know a few people with same phone who are unhappy with it either same fault or problem with camera.(my camera fine)Roll on April when I can change it - back to Nokia. Rating: Reviewed by Michael on 07/12/2009 Do NOT buy this phones as a music phone it is terrible, the battery life is terrible and would last less than a day if you do anything on it scrolling is terrible esp. if you are going down a long list of music/ contacts. It is very difficult if not imposible to select what you want when going down a list and there is NO SIDEWAYS KEYPAD, the widget functions are rubbish and i cannot download any new ones. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY UPGRADE and i tell you something considering going back to my old sony w810i, what a great phone it was. Rating: Reviewed by emily on 06/12/2009 hello, i have had this phone ofr just under a year and really like this phone. It is easy to use as it was my first touch screen phone and have had no porblems with it :) the only thing i would mark it down on is the fact that i cannot change my screen saver. Rating: Reviewed by Rochelle on 06/12/2009 This phone is brilliant, at a great price it includes practically everything. It has the 5 megapixal camera, the touch screen, music recognition, to be honest its amazing. I would reccomend it to anybody that it thinking of buying it. I have no complaints about it, it is easy to use and looks great. I am very pleased with mine & I think if you buy it you'll think the same. Rating: Reviewed by calum memaster on 06/12/2009 My (rather accident prone)daughter has had one of these for 11 months now and it's still going strong (the leather flip over case and a mirror screen protector have helped this. I can honestly say that it has had no problems whatsoever and my superfast texting daughter has had no problems adapting to a touchscreen text experience. She uses it as her camera, music player and general communications device and is very happy with it. I guess you can be lucky or unlucky with any phone and her example of the Tocco has been exemplerary. So it has to be 5 stars. Rating: Reviewed by AngelB on 04/12/2009 I had, and still have the Samsung B3310 - quirkly little thing it is - as a bit of an intro to Samsung in readiness for renewing my contract (this being a whole five months away). I've had my Tocco as a birthday prezzie after getting through six, yes SIX Sony E's of two diffent models owing to the ongoing saga with them. I can honestly say I wish I would have gone to over to them sooner. Faultless, so far anyway. And if all I will have to worry about is the dropping of phone calls then big deal! I have a phone that I can use, inside my house, I have internet access whilst sitting and watching TV and not having to go outside, its a little gem, and so what if it is not all singing all dancing, you can add what you like to it and make it your own. Highly recommended! Rating: Reviewed by Mr Lytton Allon-Khan on 04/12/2009 The Samsung F480 Tocco Is A Nice Ultra Slim Mobile Phone With Multimedia Features Like Youtube And Bang & Olufsen ICE Embedded Superior Music Player Etc. Rating: Reviewed by Peter on 04/12/2009 I am currenty using a samsung tocco and it is the worsd phone i have had the missfortune to upgrade to, the camera is poor quality, the touchscreen is an absolte nightmare and you cant hear a thing when people call. I have ordered a nokia n95 8gb to use until i get my next upgrade. A serious warning to anybody thinking about buying this phone, dont, its a phone that bad they had to bring a new model which has a keypad Rating: Reviewed by Ali on 29/11/2009 Ive had my phone for 7 months now and i turned it off as i went into a movie yesterday night, anyway i turned it on this mornig and 3/4 of my screen wwas black and i havent even done anythng to it. Has anyone else had this problem? Rating: Reviewed by emma on 29/11/2009 after a couple of months after purchasing it, the tough screen began to continously freeze. and it was too late to have it replace. I found it to be a waste of money. i do not recomend this phone to anyone. Rating: Reviewed by Gary Durie on 27/11/2009 I've had this phone for a year now. Its done me proud. the battery life's been great, no delay in the touchscreen. However I had no complaint till recently where the software wouldn't load, the menu would spin and today the screen would fade out. If anyone else has had this happen to them I would like to know what you done to resolve it. I'm going to take it back to the dealer tomorrow and see if they can sort it if not then its just an excuse to get a new phone. Rating: Reviewed by Rachael UK on 26/11/2009 Ive had this phone nearly a year now and im changing, had enough. its a good phone, but thats about it really. One thing i will mention is that when your answering the phone its abit tricky with the touch screen and i constantly hang up on people because of it. also texting is a bit fiddly at times. the internet is average, nothing great. but the camera is brilliant quality! so if your a camera phone person, the tocco is a great choice. recently the lock has been causing me abit of trouble. it has a mind of its own. the battery life is appauling. a need to charge it almost every day.no games really - had to download my own. cant really customise it. the widget is great though , but if you get the phone on orange then the widget is different and limited, so i dont reccommend orange for this phone. bluetoooth - 5/5 fantastic. hope this helped. Rating: Reviewed by Beefy on 25/11/2009 Takes a while to get used to the touch screen, but persevere & all ok. Fairly intuitive to negotiate around, but read book before. Slow to take a photo but quality is fine. Compact, slim , clear screen & connects easily with my s/erricson car handsfree kit. Not so with the Parrot mini which switches itself off 30 mins.I like this phone & have switched back to it after trying a Blackberry 8310 for a week. Good fm radio too. All in all a great stylish phone. No regrets. Rating: Reviewed by Rachael on 25/11/2009 ITS THE WORST TOUCH PHONE SAMSUNG HAVE MADE, I SHOULDVE HELD OUT FOR A BLACKBERRY!!!! :@ Rating: Reviewed by k on 24/11/2009 really good Rating: Reviewed by Sorcha on 23/11/2009 my friend lauren has the tacco and our other friend Jordan has the Nokia 5830. Before Lauren got the tacco she loved jordans phone so she set out to buy 1 like it (as 5830 was no longer sold on that network). in carphone warehouse after a long discussion she baught the tacco. not many months later, she HATES it as jordan still loves his. She said there is nothing to do on the phone and jordan has just downloaded a new book. However my father has this phone and both me and himself like it so it depends what you want it for. GREAT SOUND AND CAMERA ON THIS PHONE. Rating: Reviewed by Pypes on 21/11/2009 Given this as a contract renewal, despite fishing for a nokia N-90-something. Works well enough and the interface is pretty good for most things, and very nice for scrolling web pages but it also haas some crippling problems; texting is very difficult and slow IMHO (I have big fingers) and apps that don't support touch screen have to be content with some cramped onscreen direction buttons. The USB connection is also an issue, it'll claim to be charging on USB but it infact won't have charged unless you select one of the connection options, despite showing the battery charging animation. More than once have I let it sit on the desk for 8 hours "charging" only to find the battery on the verge of collapse. It also won't allow you to connect to the PC while bluetooth is enabled, so you must manually navigate the menus to disable blue tooth and then re-enable it again when your done. I've also found that USB file transfer is sometimes cripplingly slow, although this may not be the fault of the device. All in all id say it's a fine phone, it's not too slow and the touch works well for most things. However if your a fan of txting, or like to charge things from USB then this phone is just infuriating. Rating: Reviewed by john on 20/11/2009 switches off during call.screen locks.dialing screen sometimes locks.speed dials often does not work. sometimes i want to make an urgent call cannot because phone locks. This phone is bad.Worst Samsung i have ever used.Have to take back to Samsung when i have time.Have reverted to older phone.Dont buy this Rating: Reviewed by Tim on 19/11/2009 This is one of the most overhyped and misunderstood phones of all time.The sound when talking on the phone is very ordinary, it is NOT easily customisable and in fact is very limited. there appears to be no easy way (if any) of deleting rintones etc and there as far as the widgets are concerned... well there are none available at this time other than a few rubbish ones on the phone itself. the Event alarm does not actually do anything useful and the PC software, PC Studio is close to useless. I would not recommend this phone unless you really know what you are getting in to. It drops calls,texting can be a nightmare unless you are very precise with your fingers...should I go on? Oh wait, the camera is good but hey, I've got a camera. Rating: Reviewed by hayley on 17/11/2009 i had this fone for about 2 weeks and returned it, awfull, worst phone ive ever had and ive had loads.

Rating: Reviewed by Marie from Oxford on 11/11/2009 If you have got tiny pixie fingers, and like the dramatics of people thinking you've put the phone down on them, then this is for you. For the rest of you, do not buy, I'm counting the months on an expensive Orange contract, hoping that next time I get a phone that works well and has a keyboard and directional buttons. If you like texting or playing games, ha, you're stuffed with this too. Wish I'd not been taken in by the hype! Rating: Reviewed by Tammie on 10/11/2009 iv had this phone since march and its a nightmare now. it freezes when i try to unlock it, it wont charge and it has a mind of its own. Rating: Reviewed by Paul From London on 08/11/2009 I absolutly hate this phone worst yet of my Samsung phones. Picture and video quality not very good at all. Battery life as per usual with Samsung hopeless. Design and touch experiance not good at all even with nimble fingers. Gadgets of no use that will bore the pants of you and very limited. I always fall for the Samsung hype and not one of there phones or products as come anywhere near to living up to what it says on the box. Very disapointed in this phone and don't think the design team have paid much attention to the phone or users experiance or quality. Will not consider buying Samsung again. Rating: Reviewed by Jockster on 07/11/2009 Not so much a review as a simple statement of fact. After approx 3 days of downloading the PC Studio software, uninstalling and then reinstalling the phone is going back to the retailer as the phone simply refuses to talk to the computer. Both recognise each other USB and Bluetooth but they won't connect. Samsung advised this is a common problem and have actually now said via their forum that I should return it to the retailer. Gutted as I really like the phone but now I need to find an alternative phone I'm not going to take the risk that I will have the same problem with a replacement. Yet another instance of a quality product from Samsung being backed up by shocking software. Rating: Reviewed by sarah on 06/11/2009 hate it! annoying, hard to get around, to type etc. Sound rubbish Rating: Reviewed by wendy on 05/11/2009 had two of these now both been faulty as were my son in laws and also a couple of mates have had problems with them. They stick until dismantled and then can be very slow to move from one screen to another. I am going back to Nokia. Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 28/10/2009 Worst phone I've ever had.

Rating: Reviewed by Molly on 21/10/2009 I've had some bad phones in my time, but this one has to be up there at the top of the rubbish pile. Good camera, but can't get to the pictures as it's impossible to load the CD correctly so there they sit on your good looking and compact phone. you can't correct texts easily, the buttons are so sensitive you end up in french half way through. if you want a nice small phone, get this one. if you want a phone that works get something else, then let me know what it is so next time i can get one.

I haven't been able to send or receive picture messages because the settings are wrong and nobody seems to be able to program it correctly - been back to the shop 3 times and phone up once. Texting is difficult due to the touch screen. The PC studio won't recognise the phone connection so I can't upload any of my photos. The camera is quite good and takes decent pictures but as I can't send, receive or upload any of them, it's pretty pointless.

THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER HAD AND I AM ON MY 3RD AFTER MANY FAULTS SAMSUNG SHOULD ADDRESS!!!!!!!1 Rating: Reviewed by Mike on 23/09/2009 First of all, i've not had any problems with the call quality of the phone. My main complaints lie with the phones inability to hold a large amount of messages before your inbox needs to be deleted. It'll take 200 messages, which if you're like me need to save some messages, means that its a major inconvienence. My second qualm is the absolutely rubbish battery life. In the real world for me it will last at most two days, using the original battery and a replacement. I currently carry a spare charged battery because of the rubbish battery life. Avoid. Rating: Reviewed by vicki on 19/09/2009 good fone i always use samsung handsets it wud b perfect if it wasnt for the software issues i.e. freezing of the touch screen, starts off as intermitant but gets progressively worse to the point where nothing at all on the touch screen will work and will either have to b repaired professionaly or u can update/flash the software urself on the pc.

Rating: Reviewed by Amy on 17/09/2009 I have had this Phone for 18 months now, so far it has been dropped in puddles, sat on and run over buy a car, I must admit my clumsy self will put any phone to the test and this is the only one phone so far that has survived. This phone still works perfectly even after a quick spin in the tumble dryer (please do not test these out yourself just take my word for it). This definaly the best phone I have had up to date. When I first got the phone I did have dropped calls but that was due to calling from an area with no signal not due to the phone its self, the screen its self is much easier to use then many other screens as you do not have to press the screen it is as it says on the box a touch!!! My firend has the phone and did have trouble once with the phone stuck taking pictures but to be honest it was for five mins and it was good fun, I have never seen so many pictures taken of the inside of a bag. It has not done this before or since and we believe it was due t o using it in the rain without cover. All in all I would say this phone has converted my to Samsung for good!! Even after the pervious slide phone which I did manage to break by dropping in wine glasses, it turns out I may like to have a drink when I go out but my phone definalty does not. I hope everyone else has as much fun as I have with this phone.

I chose this phone on the basis that it was smaller & easier to get used to than the I-Phone. I wish i hadn't now. As with all Samsungs the selection of ring tones and message tones are limited and took me ages to find out how i could change the message tone. I have found the screen freezes a lot of the time, the middle menu button chose to work of its own accord, sometimes not working for days on end then miraculously one day would suddenly work again. When sending a text message with the keyboard being so small it can be a bit tricky to text if in a hurry and sometimes the buttons would do something completely different to what was requested. Pressing the 1 button to get a full stop would sometimes cancel the message all together & i would have to start over. Also have had issue with the Phone calls dropping out after a few seconds or minutes, at first thought it was a network problem but have not had issues before with previous phones & seems to have occurred with a lot of the phones reading other reviews. I have even been put off the I-Phone purely because of the Touch Screen because of this phone. Am looking forward to bringing back buttons when i can finally upgrade!

Just to show it's not all hard feelings the camera looks good and browsing seems fine. My SIM is back in the old Sony and I now need to convince the Orange shop to exchange this peice of rubbish.

Rating: Reviewed by IMW on 14/03/2009 I've had this phone for 6 months now and I'm beginning to get to the point where I despise it. There are a number of problems with it. The good points about the phone: it looks good, the camera is decent (but the smile function is nothing more than a novelty and the response time from pressing the button to actually taking a picture is massive) and the music quality is good. That's about it. The bad points, where to begin? One thing I didn't notice at first but I'm now becoming increasingly aware of is the quality of calls and the amount of times a call will drop out during conversation. It happens most often when you are first answering a call and it will cut out and you will have to phone the caller back. Then it'll cut out again and again and so on until you get lucky after about 5 minutes of messing around and get a connection you can actually speak on. When you eventually do get to speak, the quality of the call is pretty bad, and I often have to ask people to repeat what they're saying because I can't understand a word. This isn't just a problem on my end - I constantly have people telling me that they can't hear me or that I keep breaking up. I have perfect reception in my house so that is not the problem. It's just the phone. Aside from that, texting is a nightmare. If like me you're one of those people who likes to text people whilst walking you will find it incredibly hard. Because you are on the move, the touch screen becomes a moving target and you often end up typing gobbledygook as you mistype something. The problem is that the touch screen buttons are far too small for the average finger or thumb, to the point where I have to use my little finger to get an accurate response from it. Scrolling down menus is hideous and you will spend hours trying to move from the top of a menu to the bottom, most evident in menus such as the alarm and the calendar. If you're making a call where you need to enter numbers during the call (e.g. when you're listening to your voicemail), it's very fiddly to get the touchscreen numbers on the screen - you have to press about three different buttons whilst speaking to just get the dialpad on screen. A small but still annoying point is the phone's screensaver whilst in hold mode. There are a selection of about 6 different images that the phone scrolls through whilst on screensaver mode, but you cannot change them. It'd be nice to be able to have pictures of your friends or family on there, but instead you're only allowed things like an abstract black image, or my personal favourite, a picture of a tarmac road. I bought this phone because I liked the idea of an iPhone but didn't want to sacrifice my iPod, and thought this was a good alternative - I was wrong. If you're thinking about buying this phone, seriously reconsider it. I'm now pleading with my phone company to try and get a different phone, I'm that desperate that I'm willing to pay to get out of my contract just so I can have a new phone. Avoid.

'Unlocking' the phone can happen up to 10 seconds after I've pressed the button and the screens always freeze. Also, when the alarm goes off in the morning to wake me up it takes the phone so long to recognise I've pressed the button to turn the alarm off, which results in a very grumpy awakening. But worst of all is the the time it takes to connect when someone calls. When someone rings, I press the answer button, I then have to stand there waiting and watching the phone to wait for it to connect....while its still ringing. I've tested this and on average I have to wait 6 seconds. This may seem petty, but that means that if you don't get to the phone straight away, the other person has hung up before the phone recognises I've pressed the answer button.

Rating: Reviewed by heath on 11/02/2009 I hated this phone. The reason: I used my previous phone mainly for sending text messages and as a notebook and to try and use the touch screen F480 quickly is nigh on impossible. Having big fingers doesn’t help and if you have similar large hands and fingers you'll find you'll be pressing more than one button at once on numerous occasions. Because it is predominately touch screen, the text message screen is broken into numerous pages for alphabet, numerical and symbol entry. Again touching more than one button can cause the screen to change from on to another completely interfering in simply writing a text message. Make no mistake, if you like sending text messages, don't buy this phone. I have given it to my wife and gone back to my good old Sony W850i.

I've had it for a week and use it constantly, the battery lasted me two days when i first got it which isn't bad as i was putting all my numbers in, sorting out my caller ID's ring tones and pics and adding text message alerts.

Unfortunately Sony haven't been forthcoming in producing a touch screen phone at a price I could afford, so I got the Samsug Tocco on the recommendation of a friend. I now wish I hadn't bothered. I love the size, weight and feel of this phone. The widget software is also good and the touch screen is very responsive. Thats all it's good points out of the way. When writing a tx it is so easy to miss a letter and be sent to the sending screen. Also if you hold down a letter to produce a number, it's fine until you want a zero, which disappears from the screen and you have to go to abc and select numerics. When selecting a name from the phone book, it will only scroll from a-z and won't go backwards, so you end up having to scroll all the way through your phonebook to get to who you want. The camera is rubbish if using the flash at close range, the picture is very foggy, but if you don't use the flash in dim situations, the picture is obviously too dark. When using the music player, I select a song I want it to start playing from on my play list and away it goes. No problem you may say, but if you stop it and then go to play it again the next time it starts from the same track you started listening to previously, whereas the Sony's will start from where you left off. The sound quality also isn't as good as the Sony. After going from Sony's for so long I decided to do the unmanly thing and use the user manual. It would have been useful to have had a manual that covered everything instead of having to work it out for myself. I switched on my phone this morning, only two months after receiving it and the screen transition between applications was incredibly slow. It wouldn't let me access to send messages and the scroll wouldn't work on the phone book. I've been in touch with my service provider and the phone has to go for repair, so I'm glad I kept my old Sony otherwise I wouldn't have a phone for a week or so. So in conclusion. Put Sony software into this hardware and it would be a cracking phone. As it stands, it's rubbish and I wouldn't recommend it.

About the birthday thing you add/edit it in the phone book memory contacts and not on the sim, or using the friendly software that come along with the cell package. The catch is that you will see the birthday date just if it's in the same month and it will not shaw a date for the next 3 month for ex.. Love it, thanks Samsung. P.s. Had before Nokia cell and was afraid to have some bad time to get know to a diffrent company but it was easy. :) no drop calls at all!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Elli on 23/01/2009 Don't get me wrong, this is a very snazzy phone. Everything on it is really sleek - the customizable "desktop" style background being an added bonus. The camera's a bit temperamental - it doesn't seem to want to work in dull or dark conditions, or even when the light's a little funny. Music sounds fine for me, but then again I'm not a big music-on-phone person: I have an mp3 player for that. I store all my stuff on a memory card, and when this is in it does make the phone slow down. Not so much that it would be a problem, just that I noticed how much quicker the phone worked when i took the card out. The voice quality also isn't great, especially if you actually want to be able to hear what the person on the other end is saying. The big problem has to be the intermittent fault that 99% of these seem to have. I'd had it a few months when it started happening - after 10-15 seconds of being in a call, the phone would drop the call. I would have to redial or wait for the person to phone back, confused as to why I'd hung up on them. I lived with it until it became too annoying. Dialaphone, all credit to them, supposedly repaired it with no fuss. After about a week of having it back again, it has the same problem again. After reading reviews on the internet of the phone, turns out it's not just me. It's pretty much everyone! So if you want to use your phone as a phone, then I wouldn't recommend it, and especially if you have high blood pressure. Otherwise, do it.

Rating: Reviewed by Debz on 17/01/2009 I have just upgraded my phone from the Samsung G600 to the Samsung Tocco and I am in love! PLUS POINTS: I find the call ringer volume to be amply loud enough and very clear.The touch screen is sensitive and responsive and very easy to use. I find text messaging fun and surprisingly quick, it did take abit of getting used to though, but all in all better than normal key pads for someone like me with arthritis of the hands.The MP3 player is excellent and crystal clear and unless you want to hear it the other side of the house, more than loud enough. Downloading from your PC to the phone is really easy via USB. Sending music, ringtones and pics via Bluetooth is also very easy and quick. The Menus are easy to use with plenty of options. MINUS POINTS: The only minus point I have found about this phone so far is the camera.It takes pretty clear pictures with its auto focus, but when using the flash the pictures have a very prominent blue tinge. However, I did not buy this phone for its camera, so am not put off by this at all. All in all I am very imressed with this phone and would certainly recommend it, especially to those who are Samsung fans. Well done Samsung!

I have experienced some instances of the phone freezing, but this has always cleared itself quickly. My only complaint with the phone is the camera. I can't believe just how bad it is. My old ericsson took a much better photo whilst boasting much fewer pixels. It proves the point that pixels aren't everything. They are useless withot a decent lens.

I have looked for a firmware upgrade to see if it is sorted now, but to no avail. 2) Quality of the sound is honestly rubbish in comparison to my previous Nokia 6280, it sounds like I'm talking to people down a broken wire all the time. 3) Contacts in the phone appear not to allow multiple numbers, i.e. home, mobile, work, etc. Instead I get multiple contact entries. To me these are pretty fundamental requirements of a phone, so at the moment I feel I have a rather poncy play thing rather than a reliable phone I might be able to count on when necessary.

Also on my old phone it was so loud and could hold alot of songs but this phone can only hold about 20 songs and also its extremely quiet. continuously, i use my phone all the time for texting but this phone only holds about 200 in the inbox so i have to delete my messgaes like everyday and i like having messages in my inbox, another problem with the messages is when you send a message you have to wait for the sending bar to go away so basically whilst its taking 20 seconds to send you have to wait and you can't do anything else. the touchscreen is just about right with the sensitivty but sometimes it has some weird types of freezes where it freezes in one point of the screen or won't let me touch one part unless i turn my phone off and then on again but apart from that the screen is good. i think this phone is average but i don't know if i will be able to put up with my contract with it for another year and a bit. personally, if i were you i wouldn't get this phone because it isn't as good as people in the shops say it is.

Now here comes the inevitable, like many other users of this phone I have experienced many dropped calls. IF YOU CAN'T MAKE AND RECEIVE PHONE CALLS, AFTERALL, WHICH IS THE MOST BASIC FUNCTION OF A PHONE THEN YOU ARE GOING TO FEEL VERY FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED! That said, I hope I can fix it, soon.

I have had hundreds of high tech mobiles over the years, but the Tocco offers extremley high quality & instigates pure beauty and is a complete work of genius. Unlike the LG Viewty, the tocco's touch screen operates easily and hassle free, where the viewty often had slow responses and problems with the touch. Messaging is important to everyone these days and the tocco's touch pad still makes messaginga doddle, a supirior phone for a versatile generation, well done Samsung. Rating: Reviewed by will555 on 22/10/2008 I had this phone for 8 weeks, and hated it; It is the epitome of style over substance. scrolling through photos takes AGES, and the internet browser is impossible to navigate. The customisable home screen is limited to a handful of shortcuts (THREE of them clocks) that Samsung see fit, and the file menus are convoluted and difficult to navigate. In short, if you buy this phone (and don't), you should never, ever use an iPhone; the starkness of difference in quality will break your heart. If the iPhone is greased-lightening, the 'tocco' is like rolling a triangle up a hill.

Rating: Reviewed by joynul on 13/10/2008 Overall, the phone is very pleasing to use especially with the widget feature,however you cannot add your own applications or settings on the widget menu. You can take items off but cannot add the internet,or bluetooth,messages,applications or video on this sidebar for quick access. The build quality is really excellent and the weight is advantageous for its size. It really helps to keep it in the hand with its strong metal build. Texting takes ages and sometimes scrolling and selecting can be a problem one handed. The Mp3 and radio are fab especially if you can get a 3.5mm adaptor (standard earphones OK but not as good as higher end pair),comes with equalizers, battery life is OK. The camera can deliver very good results if you use the right ISO settings. Higher ISO means more grainy images but faster shooting and brighter images. The LED flash is however not powerfull enough for this device. Its very compact and nice to hold and if you get it, you won't b e able to decide whether to keep it in the supplied case or on its own because it looks very nice either way. PDF documents take long to scroll through but web browsing is nice and quite fast. One thing I didn't like about this phone is that resources such as themes and applications are very limited. As for games I haven't got a clue. I am happy to have purchased this but I guess each person has their own choice of opinion on any matter whether good or not. So, nice phone from samsung, nice interface and good camera and music player. The rest is for you to decide.

As written above, I also have voice quality problems. People seem to have problems hearing me, and I also can't hear the people I'm talking with very well. Furthermore, I think it's very annoying that you can't see your pictures in a way that you can easily 'click' from one and another. The ONLY way you can come in such a modus is when you take a picture (the picture you've token comes automaticly in that modus). But in any other way (like going to your pictures in the main menu) you can't. I also think it's a shame that you can't see the picture of the one who's calling you very properly. Why don't they make them bigscreen?! And at last I think it's a pity that you can't change your wallpapers (into your own pictures for example) and that it's not possible to download ant software to change all of this things!!

Rating: Reviewed by Will on 15/09/2008 Had this phone for a couple weeks now and am starting to find its weaknesses! The phone as a whole is really good; very easy to use and personalise. If you actually use any of the features the phone has to offer then you will find your battery bars vanishing very quickly... (if i send a few texts, make a few calls, listen to a bit of music and go on the internet briefly then my battery rarely makes it to the end of the day) My only other issue is the sound quality of phone calls. When someone calls me, I can't hear anything from them for the 1st 2-5 seconds of the call. And whether they have called you or you have called them, the volume of the call varies greatly to the point where you are straining to hear what they are saying, immediately followed by being deafened as the volume shoots up! But don't let this put you off unless you make a lot of phone calls. Everything else about the phone is very good. Good photo quality, fast downloads, texting takes a little getting used to but is quite easy. p.s. make sure you use the cover because the screen is SO EASY TO SCRATCH! p.p.s.

Rating: Reviewed by Robey on 11/09/2008 It's quite neat but the touch screen is far too fast when scrolling and it's extremely difficult to get to where you are trying to go, for instance when scrolling through contacts. Going to a specific number in your recent calls list is practically impossible. Saving a copy of an SMS you are sending is either on or off in the phone config, so it's no good setting it to off and then hoping to do a "save and send" like previous Samsungs, that's not an option. Texting is slow compared to keyed phones. Nice size and feel though and a decent camera. Overall, I'm a bit disappointed. Rating: Reviewed by Laura on 11/09/2008 I'm now on my 4th Tocco!

They responded within 4 hours and told me that they have released new firmware for the Tocco and that if I take my phone to one of their service centres (Carphonewarehouses) and leave my phone with them for 24 hours they will install the new firmware and the problems will stop.

This seems to have totally fixed the call dropping issue and I think has even improved the call qusality. I'd suggest that anyone who has been having problems but doesnt want to switch handsets give it a go. There are a few articles on the internet on how to do it and its pretty simple. Also a nice bonus is that it gets rid of the operator branding (with the exception of the widget) so it appears pretty much like a sim free version would.

At first I found it a bit odd going from a Nokia Brick to a touch screen and the manual wasn't that helpful but part of the fun in this phone is exploring. Camera is great quality and when taking pics it feels more like digi-cam than a phone and I've not had any probs with the screen being sensitive during calls as the phone auto locks the touch screen. Music quality is fab and the expandable memory means I don't need my Ipod anymore!

Also it is unclear at first how to turn off the keypad volume whilst leaving the ringer alone but again a little exploring and all becomes clear. The only other major gripe is that you can only customise individual ringtones for contacts you save to the phone rather than to the SIM as well.

In comparison to the iphone its no where near as fun, with only one game from orange (and the 2 games ive downloaded are pretty pants)but its a good cheaper alternative and the touch screen works really effectively. Also in comparison with the LG Viewty its about the same attractiveness wise, but the scroll on it is BAD. i got so frustated trying to work it in the shop and even the sales assistant couldn't work it. Ive read reviews of people saying that the scroll jst takes a little practise and patience but that would be the first thing you would need to figure out before you can even play with it because u need the scroll feature for a lot of things and its jst annoying and such a major part of actually being able to use the phone that its jst stupid that its that hard. plus if u lend any1 your fone they wont be able to work it. The only niggle ive had to far is if ive rang say orange and they say press 1 if you want blah de blah because its a bit annoying having to get to number pad up and you have to actually look at the screen because you cant just feel the button. But other than that (which is a very minor niggle compared to the cost and availablity of the iphone and the damned scroll on the viewty, plus how many numbers do you ring with the whole number option thing appart from call centres) i havnt really come across anything. there are no games that have been created especially for the touch screen which is a little dispointing but i suppose i will have to give them time on that one. The camera is good quality, as is recordings, the memorys good, but that said i got a free 8GB memory card from orange so i dunno what its lik e without that. but all in all so far a really good fone, which is fun to use but lacks in the game department. Camera, speakers, etc all good and so far ive got no complaints! Rating: Reviewed by susan on 20/08/2008 The quality of hearing is poor on this telephone. Also the space button is right above the options button and you tend to knock it whilst texting, making it more time consuming. I wouldn't choose this telephone again. Rating: Reviewed by Harrogate on 19/08/2008 Whoever think that one can only enter 15 characters in appointments, 100 characters in Memo, no alphabets in address's postcode is pure stupidity. Whatever I sync from Outlook looks ackward in the phone because of these limitations. Love those customising? Well, there's only 8 of them and some of them are pretty useless (Birthdays, Network info, games, two widgets of clocks etc). You can't add as you like. I like to see Bluetooth on/off or Memo or Appointment etc. It takes one second each to scroll down the song list. Imagine you have 500 songs. Doc viewer is a laugh - you can't scroll as intended. Bug? You can't work on your phone if you are connected to PC i.e. you can't check calendar, phonebook etc. You might like how it looks, but this phone is highly basic, and many features were done without thinking. I didn't touch on basic phone features as they are covered here. It makes me think of 1990s features for the 21st century. Rating: Reviewed by Chirs on 19/08/2008 I only used my Tocco for about 5 days and have now reverted back to using my old X820. I loved playing with the phone etc but the sound quality was unbelievably poor. For any calls made outdoors I was unable to hear the other person. Back to my X820 and it's fine. Seeing as only some people are reporting this I'm wondering if its just a faulty batch or if some people only make calls indoors or with the headset (which to me seems ok but not great). Very disappointed 'cause I do love it but CAN'T HEAR!!! Rating: Reviewed by Susie on 16/08/2008 I loved this phone till I realised I can't live the appalling camera. This is my third phone. The first one was fine but my little boy dropped it in the sink. The insurance replaced it and the picture quality was awful on the replacement. I sent it back but the replacement phone has the same problem. I am being told there is no problem with the camera yet the poor quality camera is all over internet forums. It must just be certain batches tho..Its a shame that I will have to sell it and go back to my old faithful Nokia :-( Rating: Reviewed by Rover534 on 15/08/2008 Call volume is ridiculous when there is background noise. Took mine back and tried another, but still the same. Took it back for good after that. It's a shame really as the phone itself was nice looking and had all the features I was looking for. Rating: Reviewed by Peach on 15/08/2008 This isn't an 'outstanding' phone. Live with it for a few days and you will soon see how poorly designed this thing is. There are very few user customisable features: for instance the 'widget' which is supposed to offer drag and drop shortcuts, but these are preset and very limited (time, dual clock, birthday reminders, network supplier!!, etc. ) I don't need these as shortcuts! This renders the 'widget' pretty much defunct. The camera is absolute rubbish. If your subject stays perfectly still in a cryogenically frozen state for 30 seconds you might get a reasonably blur-free picture. If not, the image you clicked on is light years away from the image you actually get. You can load as many gadgets on the camera as you like, but if your subject doesn't keep still for approx. 5-10 seconds it's all pointless. I really wanted to like this phone, but couldn't live with it. I even cancelled early and decided to go through the hassle of losing my number I've had for the la st 8 years than stay with this phone for the next 18 months. Buy it online so you can send it back within your cooling off period - it's just not what it promises, which is a real shame.

Downloaded a few games and they don't work as well as I would have liked with the touch screen interface (got them from the Vodafone site to ensure compatability).

I've had Sony Ericssons for the past few years but found it easy to adjust to the Samsung menus. Texting is fast and easy for me. People have complained about the camera but I find it amazing. Someone complained about it only filming for 15 seconds but you just need to change the setting as the default is for mms. Touch screen is very responsive, nice bright screen. Internet speed is good. Nice touch with the case provided to protect the screen. Rating: Reviewed by Viv on 13/08/2008 I got this phone a month ago on the TMobile network, it had to go back after only a couple of days as it was dropping approx 70% of calls after only 10/15 seconds, got replacement & my first call dropped after seconds, I got another replacement from a different batch and have had it only 3 days and exactly the same fault, ( 3 phones all with same fault ) I am gutted as I love this phone, im very lucky that the sales manager is extremely understanding of my needs and has witnessed it happening on several occasion. I have now decided to try a different model of phone, I cant wait till Samsung TRY to resolve the software issue as im becoming more and more frustrated with the inability to carry out a simple phone call without person on the other end of phone thinking im hanging up on them, (incidentally once the phone has dropped the call, it takes several minutes to try to reconnect to any other calls ie someone ringing me or me trying to ring the caller back which i lost when the call dropped initially) Would I rate the phone ABSOLUTLY !!!! *** but only once the software problem which Samsung are fully aware of are sorted out once and for all *** Id like to think that the fault will be sorted in the very near future as a couple of my work colleagues have the same phone with the same fault on different network providers (2 on vodafone, 1 orange & myself on tmobile) Rating: Reviewed by Alex on 13/08/2008 Had mine for a couple of weeks now and it's pretty much driving me nuts. When taking photos there seems to be a 3 second delay, which means taking "spur of the moment" shots or a quick pic of your pet looking at the camera are nearly impossible. Also, setting a shot you've taken as your screensaver is not exactly the easiest thing to do, as the edit function will edit the shot, but not necessarily save the changes. In addition to this, somehow it's impossible to get pictures the right way up as the rotate function flips one way, one way only and one time only. The quality, however, is EXCELLENT! No emoticons on text messages. What is THAT all about? I feel like I'm back to my Nokia 3210. The sound during calls is APPALLING! The sound is not at all clear and very tinny. Makes it quite hard to understand what the other person is saying. Indeed the worst ever out of all the phones I've owned or used over the last 10 years. The phone seems to decide to turn its functions on and off on a whim, which makes me wonder how many contacts its deleted during its moment of artificial intelligence. Such an example includes keypad tones materialising out of thin air. Not at all impressed with reception as this seems to be inconsistent and unreliable. I've had various text reports never arrive, despite knowing the text HAS arrived. I've also had plenty of voice mails and texts informing me people have called, yet the phone hasn't made a sound. Hmmmm..... and upon checking, it had signal apparently! Lovely phone, mediocre functions, rubbish if you need a reliable way of staying in touch via text and phone, but if you're after something that acts as a PDA and takes good photos (as long as nothing's moving in them), this is the phone for you. Bitterly disappointed at what could've been, with minimal refining, an outstanding handset. Rating: Reviewed by Kerry on 12/08/2008 Luv the fone, the look is great, sound is great everything apart from the battery.

Carphone warehouse say it must be to do with the Sim card as the chances of 3 phones being faulty are slim, and T-mobile is saying its NOT the sim, as it works fine in another phone.

This phone seems to work ok, and I spoke with T-mobile who told me to take the 3g setting off to help with calls not dropping, (Menu-->Settings-->Network Settings-->Network Mode Change this to GSM 900/1800). Apparently its something to do with there not being enough 3G network poles around... So fingers crossed, since ive had it (around a week) ive only had one or two dropped calls, which isnt bad!

Obviously, I have some nags with it. When moving the numbers from my old N95 to the Tocco, I had to transfer onto the memory card, then ONE by ONE register them to the Samsung phonebook, then delete them from the memory card - it took ages. I think the backplate with the screen cover on it was designed by a complete fool - it would have seemed better to place the cover over the top of the phone rather than have to hold it like a prat when texting - you'll understand if you have one. I notice that a few people have had issues with texting and using the touch screen, but it took 5 minutes to get used to and I've had no problems. The internet browser is pretty cool - but hard to get use if you have fat fingers! I'm not massively keen on the maximum volume, I'm half deaf and I don't always find it loud enough even on the top settings. I am loving the fact that you can set an MP3 as your text tone, as very few Samsung's allow you to do it. There are some great security features, what with being able to lock out almost the entire phone with password protection - good, if you have content on your phone, you'd rather the kids didnt see! The camera is pretty good and the quality rivals that of the N95. The phone book can be a bit of a pain, only 3 numbers are displayed on the screen at once and I am not happy with the amount of downloadable games that are available for it - very little from what I've seen so far and the onboard game is pathetic. However, with all the little nagging issues, I'm pretty happy with the upgrade - I'll would have been annoyed if I had paid for it as I feel it was more of a side-step than an UPgrade from the Nokia N95 - however, get it, see if you like it and make your own decision. Regret that I should have awaited the upcoming 8MP camera phones coming out soon...

My last phone was a Sony Ericsson and I HATED it, then it packed up like most Sony Ericssons so I returned to Samsung. On first impressions I like the phone, the touch screen is responsive, texting is dead easy and quick and the screen feedback is really good. It's compact and light, has a nifty option of a back with a built in screen cover (my iphone buddy is jealous of this bit alone!), basically a nice looking phone. I do have a few comments though; If you're a man with big hands forget it, the touch screen will drive you nuts it takes some perfecting to scroll without tapping something you didn't want! My boyfriend keeps complaining that the sound quality is rubbish when he calls me - I can hear him fine but he says he can't hear me properly...I shall test this by listening to his phone while he's on mine – will get back to you on this point! The bir thday feature is a bit useless unless you want to keep your contacts on the phone memory (which I don't from past experience with the Sony Ericsson fiasco) so you can't put in extra details when saving to the SIM..bit rubbish as I thought this was quite useful, but you could get round it by setting alarms for birthday reminders! The camera pic admitedly does look rubbish on the phone but think this is a memory saving trick they look fine when you download them...however if you want yr pics to look good on the phone probably wouldn't recommend it! The menu graphics look a bit cartoony, for such a slick looking phone the icons really look rubbish. Samsung should've made them a bit more stylish (minor point though), however the widgets look a bit better. I've not had the converstaion drop-outs that other people have experienced....fingers crossed I won't, I'm with T-mobile...it may be a network issue?!? Helen – re your question about deleting contacts you've texted...just go to the Sent folder in messages and delete them from there and to use the birthday feature you have to save the contact to the phone memory where it gives you more options as I mentioned previously. Hope that helps. All in all I like the phone, there are things that definitely let it down, there's no point in comparing it to the iphone...no contest...but as touch screens go it's the best out there. I would say it's defo more of a girls phone and wins style over substance but I'm happy with it for the time being...I'll change it in 12 months anyway and I'm sure there will be better ones out there by then, but it's not a bad phone by any means justtakes a bit of getting used to.

It means I'm struggling to hear people when I call or receive a call so on this front, it utterly fails at it's primary function. All the other features are actually pretty good.

I have been a faithful SE fan and had been looking forward to upgrading my K800i to the new C902. However, I am partially sighted and the menus on the C902 are even smaller than my K800i rendering it useless for me. So, on to the F480, the phone is superb, very nicely made, call quality is very good and ring tone and earpiece volumes more than adequate (PROVIDED) you adjust them in the profiles. The menu system fonts are larger than most current mobiles, and text messages and Internet fonts can be zoomed to a very large size, ideal for people with visual disabilities, well done Samsung! Text messaging, the process takes a little getting used to, I found using my index finger rather than thumb made it easier, and it is pretty easy to access ABC and T9 txt. Listening to mp3s through the standard earphone is better than my partners ITouch! Camera quality is very good, once again provided you adjust everything to the maximum resolutions. The length of videos can also be adjusted, as default; it is set for sending via MMS. Mobile Internet speeds are also very fast indeed, plus the benefit of being able to zoom in or out on the pages. The only problems experienced so far are that I tried to install Operamini browser without success, and also tried to download a game, which also froze. Samsung provide two battery covers for the phone, one in the brushed metal finish, and another leather "wallet". I fitted the latter and it is very convenient, looks good and provides great protection for the phone and screen, one again, great design. My only criticism, is battery life, not what I am used to from Sony, but still seems to have lasted about 3 days so far, with lots of fiddling and exploring. I suppose with the size of the screen, shorter life is to be expected. As one or two other reviewers have said, I am also very picky, and research everything I buy, the Tocca has not disappointed and I would recommend you take a look at it.
