REVIEW

I saw the first time Samsung F480 Tocco a few weeks ago when I called inside with a local store of Mobile Phone. At the beginning I thought east must be a new device of Windows Mobile these hadn of I 't seen before (not very probable) as I thought rather not very common for has non-smartphone to be almost completely touchscreen. Reference again at the office I decided to drop Samsung a line to see whether I could review one.

The first impressions of F480 is that this 'Mobile Phone of glance smart of SA. Before clean and is minimized with Juste some orders of pushbutton placed in a brilliant case. The rotation of the Mobile Phone above the metal envelope is obvious which makes the Mobile Phone look at and to feel robust.

The case out of provided leather should help to maintain its good glances. However, you will discover soon that F480 is a loving total of digital fingerprint which will have you to rub the screen on your shirt each time you to finish a call having held the screen frozen on your ear! The other disadvantage of having a screen if brilliance is the execution in states of luminous lighting, particularly direct sunlight. He 's practically impossible to employ F480 under these conditions and has you to him to seek the shade each time you try to make a call.

The touchscreen functions very well and is completely sensitive even to a soft contact, not as good as the iPhone but improves certainly as many of other devices of touchscreen as I the 'VE used in the past.

The user interface is also a pleasure with use-and that the principal menu is presented like series of 12 icons. Each sub-menu appears in the shape of list and the article employed the last in each list is accentuated as defect when you open the menu. This resembles reasonable thing to make but becomes a really little a pain, I 'd like to be able to turn this device in addition to but sadly these doesn 't seem to be possible.

He 's be a long time since I used a Mobile Phone with a numerical trimming and consequently I finds texting and to send with a numerical trimming a little a drudgery. The doesn F480 't has a keyboard QWERTY with the screen which would be ideal for texting and to send. I guess that T9 is something that you will like or hate but it makes beautiful to have the option from both included.

The camera of Pixel of the mega 5 on F480 Tocco is completely pleasant. It includes the development automatic, the numerical buzz, the flash of LED and also a new brilliant device called to smile drawn . It is similar to the detection of face and smiling being built-in inside to many traditional numerical cameras and is supposed capacity to say when your subject smiles and breaks a photograph with precision at the good moment! These are not something which I could obtain working completely well but me suspectent that it can depend on the subject and the environment as for the way in which effective it is. That says, F480 can take the rather decent photographs but because I stated front, of the Mobile Phones of camera are not any substitute product for the numerical cameras to measure suitable and this one is not any different. It is among best I the 'VE considering however.

As a player of music which F480 behaves completely well. There the isn 't by vast quantity of free memory available on the device as a standard, 240MB will not go very far but it will enable you to make a success of some files MP3 to begin you with far. Fortunately you can add to 8GB thanks of memory of additional storage to the compatible support of chart of memory of microSDHC. When you miss finally from there of music 'of S always built in the FM radio, with the support of the RDS, to give you something to listen.

The multi-media application of reproducer is decent and easy to obtain with the handles with.
The application offering the greatest surprise is established in the web browser. To be honest I expected that this is basic as well as possible but I must say that it puts many of other mobile navigators of Web, even the traditional IE of pocket in the smartphone, for shame. The best of the modes of viewing for Web pages smart-have is adapted the mode where pages are returned in a way ordered on the screen and can be read without having to put in roller left and right.

There is another disappointment here however because it is not possible to turn the screen and to show Web pages arrange in park on the device. Still I would have thought this logical and easy for Samsung to realize but this device misses sadly.

F480 is connected completely good and, where you have the insurance, the connection of HSDPA is extremely fast. Bitten of a shame that the radio is only tri-band but this wouldn 'trouble of T imitation much. The music is transferred to the device via a cable from USB connected to a PC. Speeds of transfer are grace raised in support of USB 2.0.

The lack of WiFi is also a little a shame and something which I in particular missed coming particularly from a bottom of Windows Mobile where WiFi is normally standard. With the excellent web browser I think that F480 would really draw benefit from the support of WiFi.
