It's not unfair to state that the iPhone caused a massive stir in the world of mobile phones. One of the first companies to fight back against it was Samsung, and now they're doing so again, with the amazing, powerful, F480 Tocco. How the Apple iPhone changed the world of touchscreen mobile phones Unleashed on the UK in November 2007, the iPhone seriously put the wind up the world of mobile phones before its release. The pre-release anticipation was, quite frankly, unbelievable and everyone seemed interested by this new device that would change the way we used mobile phones (if you bought into Apple's hype). So scared were the other mobile makers, that they immediately started to come up with ways they could make their own touchscreen phones that could compete. But then, two things occured: 1/ the iPhone came out, and not many people in the UK bought one because it was ludicrously expensive, and 2/ its features list (despite being built on OSX and giving fanboys paroxysms of joy for months) was, basically, not great. The odd thing was, though... that didn't stop them developing mobile phones that were basically direct competitors for the iPhone. Phones like the LG Viewty, the Samsung F700 and the upcoming Nokia 5800 Tube, all touchscreen-powered, with full finger-control interfaces. They're out to take back the market share the iPhone's taken from them, and outdo it, in terms of features, ease of use, and sexiness... and one of the biggest players in this game, one of the companies who have REALLY gone after Apple big style, is Samsung, with a huge selection of touchscreen mobile phones either available or soon to be released. The latest, and arguably the sexiest is the whole new, and frighteningly gorgeous, Samsung F480 Tocco... Samsung F480 - a loving touch You really can't fault the specs on the Samsung F480, as, while it comes in a super-slim body, it's packed to the gills with cool features. There are an ever-growing number of 5 megapixel camera phones out there, and the Samsung F480 stands amongst them, with a beautiful camera, that makes snapping incredibly sharp, pretty photos wherever you are a complete breeze! You also get a fabulous music player and internet access at speeds up to 7.2Mbps, which is pretty damn fast, however you slice it! The best part of this Samsung beauty, however, is the interface, which is both wonderfully easy to use, and dazzlingly complex at the same time. It's complex in that it's super clever, so that it reacts with cute animations when you press the screen, to, for instance, switch from the front menu to the games. It really does take on the iPhone, and beat it at its own game! Combine that with the fact that you can use Widgets no the main home screen, and drag them about to anywhere you want on the screen, with accompanying animations each time you move them. It lets you take personalisaton of this amazing Samsung to a new level, and suffice to say, they've made one of the nicest mobile phones you'll ever see!
