You need to go to settings>application settings>media settings>VOD settings and change to the bottom one.

I sent my phone back to o2 yesterday; gonna wait for the new Iphone 3G on July 11th only £99 on o2. this Tocco F480 is a great phone though, however i was really dissapointed that there are no themes, downloadable apps, decent widget selection (especially annoyed with lack of themes as the main menu looks like a child drew it, functionality was OK but not great, camera was exceptional, web browsing was ok but just not iPhone standard.

How long a battery life are people haing with this phone? I was getting the low battery warning after only just over a couple of days. Granted I had only just got it and had been playing around on it quite a lot, including a fair amount of web browsing, but this didn't seem very long, especially as I had hardly made any calls or sent texts

All I need now are answers to the other problems

I haven't changed any settings on mine but it always reverts back to which ever option I used last. So if I used T9 to send a text, it will always revert back to this when I create a new message. If it is in T9 when you hit send, the next message you create should start in T9. Mine does anyway!

OK. So I've had this phone for a couple of days now and I think the following. I like it and it certainly has a wow factor. Camera is good and the touch screen is pretty responsive.

However, I have noticed a couple of things: 1. You cannot set T9 predictive as default so for every text you write, you have to change it from Abc - very annoying.

2. Scrolling on options screens is quick. However, scrolling through screens where you set stuff, e.g. alarm, time/date is slow and you can select areas by mistake.

3. I am not finding the browser very quick either in either 3G or GPS

4. There do not seem to be any downloadable games that are compatible with the handset

Does anyone know how to combat any of the above or have similar opinions?

Hello! Could anyone confirm if this model comes with the hole to put the phone strap on?
