It appears that the United Kingdom is to gain a new smartphone courtesy of Samsung as they have announced the Samsung Tocco Lite for the UK according to mobileburn.
The Samsung Tocco Lite is the latest smartphone in the Tocco range that offers up EDGE data, a 3 megapixel camera, WQVGA display integrated FM radio and of course Samsung’s TouchWiz user interface.
Apparently the UK launch of the Samsung Tocco Lite will be accompanied by a £1.5 million marketing campaign and is expected to be available on UK store shelves in mid May, no word on price though.
I have had samsungs in the past, was torn between samsung Beat Dj and the Tocco Lite. After doing some reading settleed on the latter and I am so glad I bought it 2 days ago at the Carphonewarehouse on Virgin PAYG for £99 plus £10 top-up. It light in the hand, excellent touch screen has 12 speedials in the Phonebook-Favourite section. Texting is easy as can done in the traditional portrait mode or turn the phone in landscape mode and a qwerty keyboard comes out. Voicecalls are clear and loud in both normal and speaker phone modes. There is added bonus of GOOGLE maps to locate addresses and widet section where put most use items on the front e.g, the alarm, mp3 player, calender for appts
I bought this phone last week as I liked the look of it and I wasnt disappointed. The touch screen is very responsive and the sound quality is fantastic. I liked it so much I bought another one for my brother but he has had problems with it cutting out on calls and has had it replaced and seems to be having the same problem again. I hope this is a one off (two off even)because it is a lovely phone.
I seem to have exactly the same problem with it cutting out on calls. Got the Tocco Lite a couple of weeks ago, it had the fault so I went back to Carphone warehouse and replaced it. The new handset seems to be having the same problem too. Very disappointed.
I bought 2 of these phones on 21st June from Carphone warehouse on virgin.. excellent phone for its money but MAJOR PROBLEM.. the audio whilst on calls cuts off several times during each call.. each cut off lasts for 2 to 30 seconds.. its like ive pressed the mute button.. its really really annoying to hear the other person say “HELLO … HELLO.. ARE U THERE?” when your speaking cos they cant hear you.
I have exactly the same problem! I bought the phone (which I absolutely love) on Friday only to hear my mates saying “Hello… hello… hello…” I then took it back and changed it on Saturday… same problem, so changed it again on Sunday… same problem. There isn’t another phone on the market I want but I can’t live with it doing that.
I have this phone a week and i’m having the same problem as most people are ie the call cut offs. I spoke to the guy in the carphone warehouse and he told me they had no probs thus far with this annoying fault. He was obviously lying so i shall get rid of the phone and take my custom elsewhere, maybe i should print this page and bring it to him tomorrow.
on second tocco lite now… deletes entire text message inbox when I turn it off and only seems to receive 1/4 texts.. both phones have same problem.. very disapointed.. anyone else have the same??
Girlfriend just bought this phone on o2 Pay as you go from Carphone Warehouse. It keeps cutting out so I cant hear her, but she can hear me fine.
I went to a different Carphone Warehouse to see what could be done about it, and the guy says the phone is fine otherwise Samsung would do a recall.
Going to try swap the Tocco Lite for a Nokia 5530
OMG i’m so fed up with this phone i thought it was beautiful now that it cuts off every phone call im fed it with it.
OMG me too !! the whole cutting out thing is unbearable, but my problem is this…. The first upgrade i had was back in june a sony erricson which was very quiet so i exchanged it for tocco lite which is defected ( the olde speaker problem!!) 02 shop wont replace it cos i already had an exchange!!! gggrrr…. I’m at a loss .
i have also had these issues the past month and the phone has been to the workshop twice,
am now on second phone and this to has the same issues, BEING FOBBED OFF again by VODA
there is defo something wrong with these phones and think it is on a larger scale,
if all concernd came forward we would see the bigger picture,
