had this phone on contract for 9 months and i absolutly HATE it!..i am actually going to but a pay as you go phone and put my sim card in because i dont want to wait till the end of my contract i dislike it that much!..yes it looks nice but trying to use the touch screen to text is practically ipossible without taking 10 times as long to write one text as they are sooo close together!..however the picture quality is excellent but it takes forever to take a picture...jams when you are trying to view the pictures!..also when i get a phone call very often my check has put people on hold, muted or even ended the call!...i would deffenetly not recommend this phone to a friend!

Like other reviewers, I found the battery life a bit short but by disabling Bluetooth and GPS I can get about 3 days out of it. The buttons are a pain - they constantly get in the way as they are located just where you would hold the phone. Camera is good but slow. My biggest gripe is that I can't "freeze" the homescreen so my widgets are constantly moving about. One last thing - there is a lock button but it seems to deactivate when you get a call. If you're like me, you have the phone in your pocket so you take it out and (those buttons again) I manage to hit the end call button every time! Summary - a good phone that you can get to like but it has infuriating glitches that will make you steam occasionally. No wi-fi!! I did not realise that when I bought it . . .

This is actually a bad phone...I have had mine for over 5 months, I have to say I don't like the touchpad....texting is a chore, unless you have fingers like a stylus. the keypad menu is not laid out well at all. an apostrophy is in a sub-menu and takes ages to find, the dictionary is rubbish and the actal keys are even worse to use - due to the fact that if you try to hold the phone and use the keys (which are at the bottom of the phone) the handset can easilly fall out of your grip. the design is seriously flawed. As for the camera - yes it is okay quality, but it takes ages to actually take a pic or vid. I would not recomend this phone to anyone. Shame on you Samsung!

Um... I haven't had this phone but one of my friends gave it and it looks really good! Is it? I can see a lot of complains on this page but can anyone give me more of a specific description of the good qualities on this phone, and maybe the bad things about this phone. All I've heard so far is that it's has a very bad battery. Also some have mentioned about the camera. Maybe can someone tell me a bit more? Ill check this website daily and check if anyone has answered my questions. Thank you.

Had this phone 10 months had to have it changed because the touch screen would no longer respond and it cuts off in mid call if not before. They sent me a new one and this one is the same I would not recommend this phone to anyone

I have to disagree with the previous ratings!! The Camera is 8mp (which is pretty hard to beat) but quite frankly I can take better photos on my wifes 3.2mp. It takes ages to take picture and the quality is very poor. The automatic flash does not work properly. Also, playing games on this is a nightmare as there is no stylus and none will work on it! Numerous other things about this phone i hate but will take to long to mention. had my sony w995 not broken would never have changed. Would also say this phone is not suitable for men!

I would say this phone looks awesome with the touch screen and ridiculously high quality camera, but its batterry life is just so short for a phone that is so useful. so for that reason, i'm not going to get one. shame.

Hi .. can anybody tell me this phone is better than the LG viewty smart? I thought of taking one in contract. I find fetures are same in both except that the tocco has both the keypad and screen

i havent got it yet but how much is it on pay as you go orange is it relly £200 ?? cause that is well expensive!

great phone but battery power time is the only problem..drains a lot..anything else on the fone is superb..8 MP cam, internet, mp3, radio,pics editing, everything is ok

good phone barr the batt life,im shocked its so bad,used half the batt over nte just sitting there not been used,i sent bk an n97 and im regretting it now cos the batt lasted 3 days in it

Great phone really enjoying it, shame the battery does not last very long. This camera phone is good value for the money. Must say in all the phones I've had over the years this must be the best one yet.

dammmnnn sexyyy phone, im purchasing as we speak x :) x

fantastic phone love it, the camera is great, mp3 player is really good, but would prefer to be able to change the screen from black to white, it does not allow you to make that change.

THE TOCCO ULTRA a very good phone let down by an under powered battery and pc software that does not update the firmware on your phone keep your charger plugged in you will need it a lot you will be lucky if the battery lasts an hour with full use

ii have just bought this phone on contract! ii LOVE it! it is fantastic! its quick andd easyy to work out. Never hadd a betterphone,it defently bets my old phone the LG COOKIE!

Just got this phone 3 days ago, its great, the touchscreen is amazing, the phone is quick and responsive. The free 1 GB memory card is also great!! The only downside to the phone is the weight it does feel quite heavy but apart from that its amazing! oh and the camera is superb!!

This phone is amazing! It is miles better than the original samsung tocco and thats saying something. The camera is fab and it looks so sleek and stylish. Also, having the keypad as well makes it sooo much eaiser and quicker to text if im in a hurry as it means you don't have to use the touchscreen like the original tocco. This is deffinately the best phone i have ever had and i would strongly recommend buying it over all other phones that are out or coming out. Oh and the price i paid on here was amazing. Thanks dial a phone =D

This is my first touch screen phone and works fantastic. My previous phone was N95 which was brilliant as a smart phone. Although this isn't a smart phone, it does all that is expected from a phone and more. The 8MP camera is fantastic. The widgets work brilliant and the AMOLED gives amazing clarity. I recommend this thouroughly.

This phone is really cool.It describes everything.But i want to no if you have to use the keybord or can you use the touch for it ?The phone hs high qualities.And really good features so i m thinking bout getting this phone.

love this phone so much i want this i was waiting for this so long i love ir i want it i am begging for it i want it so much i can sleep with out it and i need it for music the best phone it the world i cant wait to get it on contract i am die for it

The Tocco Ultra is an amzing phone. It has an amazing camera, when you take a picture it looks like your right there. It is very easy to use, if you good with phones then it will just click straight away. It has got a lot of memory. is very loud wen you want it to be. If you drop it on something like grass, carpet, wood, bed ect it probley will not brake! It is and extremly smart phone, i would think that lots of people would want to have a look at it. It is slim, so it would easly fit in your pocket of something like that. It can hold over 300 contacts, and it has a lock button on the side so you will be able to lock it. I would really recommend this phone to anybody!

I got this phone today and it's brilliant! The features on it are great. Comes with a wicked 8 mega pixel camara and overall a really good phone I recommend it highly, indeed!
