I recieved mine today and have been playing all day....I must say that it's very responsive and have made a few calls and haven't dropped any calls...(on vodafone)... options are good and it's very clear.. menu system is good although it'll take time to get used to as am used to a nokia... but overall a good phone am pleased....

Hi, i just got the phone in Bulgaria. It is not officially in stores here so i guess it comes from another country. The problem is that as many of you i have the drop calls. I changed it to GSM 900/1800 and it still drops! I think it's time Samsung to release an official software update that should be available to download free and fix this!
Another thing is again as some of you have noticed there are pictures showing on the hold screen that are very nice but are nowhere to be found? Any luck with this?

From this forum, this phone APPEARS to be afflicted with a bug causing it to drop calls. I think GSM Arena needs to implement some way to authenticate flaws. After all, reports of just one or two issues could massively disrupt sales of an otherwise good product. (I use an N95 8G but got to play with an F480 and thought it quite sweet - excellent call quality.) Anyway, this is just an idea - perhaps GSM Arena should contact someone in authority at a phone reseller or the manufacterer themselves and obtain confirmation or otherwise of any reported flaws. (I owned three excellent Sony Ericsson K800i phones. Each failed, but other people I know had no problems, so it may well be a specific software build - same with the F480 perhaps?)

Well you know what would be nice a way to make it change the wallpaper itself say every morning or hour lol.
Also more widgets eg one for writing messages so you dont have to keep going to menu then messages then create takes to long

steve, 16 Jun 2008are the calls dropping associated with area? i'm in the midlands and have good reception.i guess the call dropping is associated with the area you live in, because i have this phone and have not had any phone calls dropped.

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.
