I'm thinking of getting a new phone for Christmas since I've had a Samsung Tocco Lite for 3 years now. I don't want anything too OTT and expensive so Blackberries, iPhones and the like are out of the question
![]() I just want something functionable, quite nice to look at and able to take decent quality photos... it has a 5MP camera and I'd get a memory card with it so it's not really storage I'm worried about. But yeah it's £130 and I was wondering if anyone could recommend it/dissuade me from it

yeah pretty much 5 stars across the board, battery life's the lowest category (4) but the tocco's fine for that

Brilliant phone. My aunt has one and I can't find a fault with it really. It works just as well and it's a decent price.

I have the Galaxy SII and really like it. I think Samsung phones are generally very good on functionality and apps etc, but I suppose it depends on how you use it. They are normally great for music, gaming, internet etc so I think it should be quite good for you. 5 megapixel camera is ample. There are not a whole load out there with better quality cameras, but newer ones are only around 8mp. I would say it was a good buy for the price, and they normally have quite fast running systems. Battery life is always going to be an issue anyway if you use music/internet/gaming a lot anyway.
Overall it's a fairly stylish 3.5" touchscreen android with wifi capability so I can't see many bad points to it. The Google Play store also has loads of free apps. Also I am sure it is compatible with the BBCi player etc. Last edited by Mrluvaluva; 14-08-2012 at 08:11 PM. |

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace and I love it, the only negative thing I have to say about it is that the battery doesn't last long. But other than that it's awesome, I would totally recommend it

The only thing is, the way phone technology develops, by Christmas time there will most probably be something better on the market at that price.
Anyway Marc, I don't think it runs on the gingerbread system. ![]() Last edited by Mrluvaluva; 14-08-2012 at 08:17 PM. |

apparently the battery life is really bad.
someone at work said that they can charge the phone all night but it will be red by the time they have lunch the next day but then again everyone at work is ott and I hate them all so who knows how true it is

I don't really use apps and stuff that often tbh, just Facebook sometimes if I'm on the bus.

If you use a phone for the odd phone call, texting, and a bit of music etc, they are normally fine. If you sit there for hours watching TV and listening to music whilst playing games and browsing the internet then it's bound to affect battery life. I don't know what some people expect?

I have one, got it after a tocco lite as well
![]() The most annoying thing I'd say is if you're planning on using it for music it doesn't recognise M4A files so all your songs will be under 'unknown artist' & 'unknown album'. Oh and like mentioned the battery is tragic, you'll probably need to charge it everyday. Otherwise it's a great for everything else ![]()

I downloaded a free one from the google play store called, quite originally, "cover art downloader". It's really good. It even finds quite obscure ones.

Was going to get it today, got the HTC Mozart instead, never had heard of it before, 100 quid, 8 mega pixle camera and hd video, a windows phone. Was a steal really, and the last in the shop!
