Samsung F480 - user opinions and reviews

Have had the Tocco a while now, and there are a couple of niggling things that really dtrag the experience dow. Here they are now, that bad points first:
1. When you chage the sms text size to a smaller size. it doesnt stay the changed size when you change to a different message. The default setting is way to large. Believe me you get browned off constantly having to change it. INFURIATING.
2. Says the camera is a 5MP. it's absolutely rubbish. I had a K800 before that for a 3.2MP camera is years ahead of the Tocco.
3. The camera locks after about an insanely 3 seconds all the time. YOU CANT CHANGE THIS. So when you are in a call (checking inbox, telephone banking) you constantly have to unlock it before pressing a button EVEN TO END THE CALL you have to unlock it.
4.Widgets are a non-runner. You get bored with the default ones. where's the ability to change them ?????.
5. Main menu can backround can be only either black or white?. I've had user generated themes on my Sony Ericssons for years now?
6. NOT BEING ABLE TO TURN OFF THE SOUND IT MAKES WHEN TYPING A MESSE (UNLESS IN SILENT MODE) Frigging drives me insane. The fact that you have to pick between 2 bad sounds when there should be an option to turn it off on its own is the worst oversight ever.
Here are the plus point:
1. Integration/Synching with Microsoft Outlok is a breeze. Had all contacts on the phone in no time.
2. Samsumg PCConnection software is great. Works a treat (Sonys is rubbish)
3. Touchscreen is easy to use after a bit of practice. As quick to type a message as a normal phone.
4.Great feel in the hand. Not to big and bulky.
5. 3G is your into that is fantastic. I only use to check the football result but after hearing about the problems the iphone is having (still want one though), this is great. Constantly have 3G signal 5bars alot of the time.
6.Music player is pretty basic. But if i listen to music I have never used my phone always an ipod. FM radio is pretty decent.
All in all, its a decent phone. Havn't had any dropped call. Call quality is fine and all. But If your like me any those annoying little niggles are too much. Avoid this phone. Otherwise for a rather pleasant touchscreen phone its decent.

Pros: Very intuitive interface, excellent styling and build, small and thin.
Cons: Very very very poor speaker for earpiece. All calls sound boxy and muffled. By the way we bought 25 of these for our firm and everyone saying the same thing about the quality of this speaker.

really it's a great device,i'm using for 2 months now and i didn't face any proplem with it,the sound of the call is great,the software is great and it's very easy to use although it's my first touch screen device,the only proplem is the camera photos which is somewhat blurred on when displayed on the mobile screen but the antishake option is great and the smile detection too.
anyway i strongly recommend it to anyone.

On "normal" you can make video for hours.

At first I was very excited by this phone, I'd read the reviews here and bought it standalone. aving had it for a couple of months I am going back to an old K800i.
It looks fine but the the UI is clunky, with gaping areas for improvement.
Rather than making comms easier it has slowed down everything I would do. If you have a iTouch then you'll know how many options a real touchscreen interface can add. Here, they really had no idea.
Texting is a chore.
Navigating the phonebook is as challenging as a game.
Everytime it requires a password it just brings up the box, not the onscreen keyboard, adding another pointless step.
Im sure it will improve, but it realy needs to.
