Anyone have the Samsung Tocco Ultra yet?

I got mine a day early yesterday and agree it is very fiddly. Think it will take a while to get used to.

My main problem with it is trying to press to tick a box when I want to mark emails to be deleted, and also texting.... has anyone worked out haow to change a word when using predictive text??

On the plus side, the camera is very good, as is the video. Both are really clear, even when fully zoomed. I keep catching the zoom button underneath when pressing the shoot button, will have to keep practising! It takes really good pictures in the dark too!!

yes bits of it are fiddly and some things seem tedious but isnt that always the case when you get a new gadget, one thing i dont like at all is the max of 10 names that can be added to a text, there is no need for that nowadays, 50 would be of more use

Oops not 'no alerts' I mean 'No Event'. Its a little box that sits on the main screen.

Yep, when you've finished inputting the letters for the word you want, whilst its still selected, press the 0 key to shift through the different words available.

Had a little play around with the camera, have to say the pictures came out pretty good - but haven't transferred any pictures to the PC yet so have to see about the actual quality.

Divx playback on the handset is pretty nice, the CD in the box somes with a compressor for files, got series 1 of the Inbetweeners on my phone now for less than 300 meg total

Yes it is quite far away - its a back arrow pointing rather than a "C" button.

When composing a message, at the bottom of the touch screen there are 2 rows of buttons and the arrow button is on the top row. Hope that makes sense!

My screen is greasy already, so looking a bit dirty when the screen is turned off, thinking of getting a screen protector for it.

I'm thinking of going for the Samsung Pixon instead, seems the same phone but has a larger screen and takes better quality videos.

I'm getting more used to it now and I really like it!

The camera and video really are good, the reason I chose this phone was for those, so thankfully I'm happy!

Thanks for the predictive text tip, don't know how I managed not to figure that out!!

I think the battery is poor, but I'm playing with it a lot so its hardly surprising its running down!

All in all, it takes a bit of getting used to (but thats half the fun!!) I'd reccommend it.
