Samsung Tocco: A phone that wants to be touched

By Andrew Lim on 26 May 2008

Tocco isn't a taco gone wrong: it's the Italian word for touch and Samsung has seen fit to use it as the name of its latest touchscreen phone. Bene! Previously known as the Samsung F480, we saw this bella down at the Mobile World Congress earlier this year and thoroughly approved.

The Samsung Tocco is smaller than other touchscreen phones and thin too, but it feels very solid because of its metal casing. Its screen is responsive and vibrating feedback ensures you know when you've clicked something.

Samsung has introduced a new user interface that lets you drag and drop widgets on to the main screen. HSDPA (7.2Mbps) means you get high-speed access to the Internet on the go and there's an expandable microSD for adding memory.

    I can have exactly the same theme with my Lg Ku990 - as well as the Iphone theme and Windows 7 theme. I reckon I hacked it, but it's easy and I had my phone for only 1 euro...

    Just click and drag the music player off the screen. Same goes for all the icons (widgets) you can move them arounnd on the screen or drag them off onto the side bar. Alternatively, there's a part in your settings that allows you to tick/clear which applications you do/dont want as widgets.

    Have this phone now for like 2 weeks and must say its quite nice,But beyond all the glamour,their are some features missing or I need help finding, Like i cant get my phone to vibrate and ring at the same time when somebody's calling me, and texing takes a while to master, all these basic things missing makes me wonder.
