Got this phone yesterday. Was actually going to cancel my contract with T-Mobile as my work supplies me with a BlackBerry Curve (O2, superb phone). I work in the mobile industry and had heard about the Tocco from clients. Had a play and thought why not (only pay £7.50/month). So far very impressed, internet is very good, decent camera and good music player, and thats all I need.
But can anyone tell me how to switch off the screen saver pictures?

In Fact I think on every phone I've had you press 3 to delete the message and have never had this happen.

**** WARNING ****
When listening to answer phone messages be VERY, VERY careful. I selected '1' to hear the message and the next second I got the message deleted prompt. My face has accidentally touched the '3' (delete message) key on the phone and therefore I did not get the message.
Either listen on loudspeaker or keep phone an inch from face.
Am amazing oversight on the behalf of Samsung

Anyone noticed that you can't progress past levl 3 of the PhotPuzzle game because the squares to the right of the phone do not respond to being selected?
Another annoying feature. Took a pic of my daughter in portrait position to set as wallpaper. When it set, it had twisted 90 degrees with no way of rotating it and saving the rotation. Had to take another with phone in landscape position so the wallpaper would show correctly, taking into account the 90 degree rotation.
Also have Orange - am waiting to see if I get the call dropping.

It does sound like the call dropping problem is something to do with Orange. I've had mine for two weeks now and not one call has been lost. I'm on O2.

jovi, 14 Jun 2008i shall be replacing it for the 3rd time to see if it still drops calls, love the phone otherwize?I took mine back to the orange shop the engineer changed the network settings from automatic to gsm1900 saying that the 3g coverage was terrible and this would sort the problem. The first three calls dropped out. Took it straight back and he changed it for a new 1, got home and the first call dropped. I changed the network settings to gsm900/1800. Seems fine at the mo, but no 3g now with this network setting.

I'm on Orange with the F480. After a few incident free days, I've experienced the calls dropping off, usually after just a few seconds. Both outbound and inbound. Incredibly annoying. I am taking it back for a new model, to see if this fixes the problem. In the meantime I would advise particularly Orange tariff users to think carefully about this model.
