Samsung Tocco Lite S5230 User Reviews

Without a land line phone, I use my mobile regularly for calls and texts. At first, I found the handset too slim to hold comfortably without dropping it, but I got used to it. It is occasionally awkward when trying to press the button on the side that locks the screen, but it is a bit of an adjustment. The screen is large enough for Internet use, when necessary and the screen keypad has good sized buttons. I initially had a few problems with the touch screen in that when you sweep your finger across it, it does the wrong thing. But that is a speed thing that I got used to. Love the sleek black look and is small enough to fit into the pocket in my handbag or in a pocket.

The phone has a simple design so is very easy to navigate with quite a basic menu. Touch screen never encountered any problems, and again was easy to work and the buttons are much larger than some touch screen keypads. Camera is quite basic, doesn't have a flash so not very good for those who want to take excellent pictures, however it is decent enough to store some pictures on. Extra features such as Internet and browser are all fine. Battery life was very good, in comparison to other phones this was charged less frequently. Price was pretty reasonable and its a simple modern phone but not spectacular!

I use my phone on a daily basis, mainly as a means of calling people or texting them. I don't use it for other reasons as it is relatively new to me and I am still learning how to use it. Also I am quite old fashioned and don't like the culture of people using their phones constantly throughout the day. However as I am getting used to the phone I am finding it more interesting and am keen to explore its uses further.

This particular phone looks attractive and is relatively light to hold. I like the fact that it is quite flat so doesn't take up much space in my handbag. The graphics are good and there are useful functions like an in built calender and the option of storing photo's and pictures on there. The battery is reasonably quick to charge and lasts a long time, although in my case the phone is still quite new so I would expect this anyway. I will wait and see how this compares over time. There are quite a few functions available on the phone, including a camera, but I haven't used many of them yet.

The disadvantages of the phone are that once it is switched on it is quick to go on standby mode, which annoys me as I hate wasting time having to bring the screen back on. Also as it is a touch phone, it is easy to catch other functions by mistake, so I find I am often having to delete and re-do things. On occasions I find its touch sensitivity to be poor, particularly when trying to access certain functions such as the keyboard. When you are in a rush to send a message this is particularly annoying.

Overall though I am very happy with my purchase and recommend it to those who do not want a complex phone and just want one to carry out more basic tasks. For the price it costs I believe it is good value for money.

Wanted a Nokia C7 but chose the silver Tocco lite on a cheap PAYG deal and am so glad I did! Right weight, size and balance and so easy to text with, clear sound and bluetooth, and clear 3 inch screen too. Only niggle was that the back cover is difficult to take off once on and the micro SD memory card is under the battery which makes access difficult. Scratch resistant case too and long battery life makes this a perfect main phone and you won't be disappointed with this handset, lots of widget shortcuts too. Small footprint for features of the phone, I use this phone for texting non stop and its the best textable phone that I have ever used.

A nice touchscreen phone without paying top price! I use it everyday and I've never had any problems with it! The only bad points that I have picked out are that, there's no flash and you cannot switch the 'battery low' sound off, which can be annoying if your battery is low at work. Simple to use, connects to the Internet quickly and good for music too. I have also purchased this phone for my partner because out of the phones I have had in the past few years, it has been the most reliable. I would recommend this phone.
