Got this phone last week and very happy. Takes a little while to get used to it but once you do it is very, very nice! Quality build and I find that texting is atually faster than my old phone.

Having big hands i thought this phone would not suit my thick thumbs but texting is a breeze, in fact. Pretty much everything is good about the phone. The feedback, good battery life, the browser works well and even with 3g the phone does not suffer from bad reception. I'd recommend it to anyone

I would like to know if TOCCO has both mp3 player and real player option or not.

I just got mine from Orange.
Brilliant phone. Easy to use, Thin, Loud call volume,
I would give it 10/10

All this crap about this been a LG copy is just sour grapes. Yea they may look similar but a copy I think not. For one the TOCCO is smaller and thinner, Than the VIEWTY. The buttons are totally different, so one is smaller than the other they have different button designs and the keypads are different, but you say they look the same, Get real. The only similarities are they both have touch screen.

I have never understood people saying one phone is a copy of another. Come on people the mobile phone manufacturers only have so much they can do with designing a mobile phone.
There’s bound to be times when two different manufacturers look similar, if you prefer LG’s the buy an LG if you prefer Samsung then you know what to do....

They are free, just copy and paste the link, copy the picture on your computer and transfer to your phone via the USB cable.

Surely there must be a way of activating them. I checked out some demos on Youtube and still no mention of it, but noticed one user demonstrating images with the night time and sunset pics as options. Anyone any the wiser? Other than that more than pleased. Great phone.
