Glossy, glassy, sophisticated the Samsung E840 is ‘a mirror you can make calls with’ as Samsung’s  quote.

At only 10.6 mm this is for the vain in everyone, now we need to look in to the mirror and ask mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? Well fairest in the mobile industry.

Now its not just a pretty face it with a fantastic multimedia centre crammed in to the tiny frame, with a large bright screen which is perfect for playing videos and browsing the web. Other Multi Media applications include the FM Radio, a music library to store all your favourite tunes and a video recorder.

The handset has a pretty decent camera as well at 2 Mega Pixels with 4 X Digital Zoom and with great mode such as Mosaicshot, Multishot, Night mode, Selfshot & Viewfinder Mode you’re guaranteed to get the a great picture – only down point is there is no flash. All applications are easy to access with the touch screen on the front but it may take a bit of getting used to as they are not as responsive as regular buttons.

Other neat extras include a document viewer that lets you load up Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF files from your memory card to view them on the screen. The Memory card can hold up to 2GB which is great for working on the go, without a memory card there is only 70mb.

Downsides include no 3G ability and the battery life isn’t as good as other models with a stand by time of 360 hours compared to the Samsung Opus at 650 hours…

It’s a great looking handset and although the applications could be better, looks always come first!

It’s hard to believe Nokia are now the only brand still making handsets with buttons…Is the latest touch screen technology needed or does it just complicate typing?

One of the main selling points of the Samsung Tocco F480 phone is the Widget application. These are tiny application that perform functions such as showing the time,or playing music.
With the Samsung Tocca you can place these wherever you want by simply dragging or dropping into the tool bar. This gives the handset a personal touch allowing you to change it accordingly.

With a card-like size it is very portable, and probably very easy to lose too.

Launching the smile shot function on the 5 mega pixel camera this handset boosts a fantastic picture for a minuet handset. Although with a memory of 223MB the phone is quite slow and struggles to do more than one task at a time.

With 3G internet the Tocco is great for surfing the internet with speed faster than most home broadbands. After testing this out I found it’s quite slow loading pages so not to sure about this 3G technology.

This phone has something for everyone with a great music player that stores thousands of songs plus it has a song tracking service called ‘Shazam’ which allows you to identify the song your listening to….if this is something you need to do.

With such great features there had to be some problems with the Tocco and there are. The handset has a habit of dropping calls for an unknown reason while the voice quality is sometimes poor.

Overall with such fantastic applications you could put up with the slowness, this phone is for you if you have style & patience.
