> In reply to tyrone @ 2008-06-06 23:08 from MSRn - click to readits not hard to text, but the space button and the button to finish typing are very close so if you have bigish fingers you can often press the finish button accidently, but you can easily get back on to the typing screen.

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.

Hello People,

Can someone confirm something for me please -
Does the F480 suffer from the same poor in call volume as the Samsung U900 Soul?

Just bought the phone yesterday.
Pleased with it so far! Nice features, looks smart and I personally think it's a great multi-media phone. The photos look good, music player seems to be adequate and FM radio's a nice touch too.
I've copied a few photos from my PC and they look excellent! The PC software is worth a mention. It's straight forward, simple to use and basically offers everything I could ask for.
A couple of downsides to the phone though...
I find the flat screen a bit difficult to text with, although I have just changed from a SPV-E650 which had a QWERTY keypad. Also, I came on this forum to find out about downloading extra applications to find a couple of people saying that it is not possible which is a real shame.
If anybody knows otherwise I would appreciate a sharing of your wisdom!

That's it from me!
Overall I'd give it an 8.5 / 10

I have returned this after 4 days. Terrible battery life and UI is unbeliably frustrating.

Hi had my phone for 3 days, and so far I think I really like it. The only thing that baffles me is where does the phone get the backgrounds for the "hold" screen. There is some pics that is not in any of the phones folders. I want to take out some images as I dont want the flower pics :/

I was considering LG Viewty but i wasnt keen on the fact that it was LG, same features and alot better brand/reliability. I would gladly own this phone :)
