I know this has been asked by someone else but got no answer!
Looking for a phone for my DS - narrowed it down to

Samsung Tocco Lite or the Samsung Genio Touch

Does anyone have either of these and would recommend or do you hate them?
I'd be grateful for your thoughts

Getting there...slowly! :D

GC : must do better
NSD: very rare

No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.

    Mine fancies the LG Cookie (in pink), very similar to these two.

    The cookie always freeze's and the tocco LITE has very good write ups

    and is £69 on orange from http://shop.orange.co.uk/mobile-phones/samsung-tocco-lite
    even the bloke in the orange shop said the lite is a better phone than the cookie

    i got the Tocco Lite for myself yesterday, and the bloke in the Vodafone shop said it was one of the best phones on the market in that price range. He said they're very reliable, apparantly. Havent tried it yet but looking forward to! Plus I got £15 free calling credit (Vodafone)

  • Both bottom end touch screen phones - but both good value for money. Tocco Lite with higher 3.2mp camera & the Genio 2mp. Genio with the changable covers seems to be the main selling point to the phone.

  • I looked at both yesterday. The Samsung looks more plasticky and toylike whereas the LG looks better made and a more mature phone.

    Camera is better on the LG too.
