Samsung Tocco

We’ve talked a lot about the Samsung Instinct and its cool functionalities. We’ve also participated at an online presentation hosted by Sprint, where we found several new details about the upcoming full-touchscreen model while watching the demonstration of several capabilities this amazing cell phone comes with but until it will be available we want to show you a new advanced handset, the beautiful Samsung Tacco aka Samsung F480.


It too features full touch-sensitive interface with haptics and looks very similar with the Instinct, but brings some innovative characteristics such as a unique customizable user interface and the brushed metal finish, in a protective leather case.
“Tocco” name comes from the Italian verb “toccar” which means “to touch”. The “tocco” form of this verb is the first person form referring at “I touch”.
Now let’s get back to the specifications! Samsung Tocco integrates a 5MP camera with automatic face detection and image stabilizer like in digital cameras, a 2.8-inch large QVGA LCD display of 362K colors, and full Internet browser for great viewability while reading stuff on the Internet.
It gives you access to music recognition features, a 240MB internal music memory, memory card slot for up to 8GB of media storage and an FM radio for listening to your favorite tunes while on the go.
Thanks to the widgets-based menu you can drag-and-drop things like on your computer and play with birthday reminders, music player and radio player.
One nice aspect is its small size, almost of a credit card and with a stylish body measuring just 11.6 mm thickness. Another nicer aspect is that you can download things that interest you with a speed of up to 7.2Mbps because the Smartphone supports HSDP connectivity standard.
Samsung Tocco runs on the Croix UI operating system.

The company is investing £3.5 million in its advertising campaign and we can’t wait to find out more about it!
At the moment we also know that the cool cell phone has Bluetooth 2.0 support with A2DP and AVRCP, Mobile Printing capability and a talk time of up to 3 hours using a Li-Ion battery of 1000 mAh.
