Samsung GT S5230

The recent decision to purchase a new phone (after my old Samsung gave up the ghost), left me with the usual dilemma of which phone to buy. For the purposes of this review, I would like to point out that I'm not a technically minded person, and I had certain (simple) features & criteria that I wanted from a new phone: * Fairly slimline & lightweight * Touchscreen features * Simple to use * A camera of at least 3 mega pixels My main requirements is that the phone makes and takes calls well, is easy to text (including a fairly straightforward messaging set up), and as I am a fickle girl, I want it to look ...  Read the complete review

I like expensive electronic toys, in the past few months I've bought myself a DS an MP3 player and this Samsung Tocco Lite for no other purpose than being able to. Well OK actually the story behind the Tocco is a little more stupid but that's beside the point I bought one, a few back despite having a perfectly good Sony Ericsson C902, a delightful phone if I do say so myself. For £115 including a 4 GB memory card and £20 of credit on Orange this really was just a glorified toy purchase that will have little real bearing on my life other than being a second phone to confuse me. The Tocco comes in a small range of colours and unlike most phones it has just 7 ...  Read the complete review

A welcome addition to the Tocco family What a brilliant phone!! I have never used a touch screen before so was a little apprehensive! All I can say is its very easy and intuitive. The Tocco lite is new on the market as a rival to LG Cookie. It has virtually the same spec but apparently without the freezing screen which alot of people have it complained about. The Spec TouchWiz UI and an accelerometer. 3-megapixel camera with smile and face detection, which also shoots QVGA video. FM radio Music player 50MB of on-board memory, expandable up to 8GB with a microSD card. High quality 3.0" WQVGA touch ...  Read the complete review

When i dropped my Samsung D900i in the bath (don't ask!) i decided it was about time i upgraded to a new phone. After days of research on features and prices i decided the Samsung GT S5230 aka Samsung Tocco Lite would be the best value for money. The battery life on this phone is excelent, i sometimes go 3 days without having to charge it. If you use the features of the music player, bluetooth or call people alot this may run the battery down quicker but compared to other phones of a simular price this one seems to have the best battery life. The battery life is supposably meant to be 10 hours talktime or 600 hours in standby mode but i personally feel it will ...  Read the complete review

I came across this phone a few months ago, looking for a replacement for my sweet Samsung U600. I wanted something with a touchscreen, it had to have a relatively good camera, a good music player and it needed to fit in with my low budget. I must say, the Samsung GT S5230 (Samsung Tocco lite) is perfect. It's a real, simple, easy to use phone with some handy extras for added fun. Looking at the basics of the phone, it pretty much just has a taste of everything you might need. The layout of the menus is very clear and easy to understand, the icons are a good size and scrolling up and down is quick and smooth. Texting is fast and easy, the touchscreen 'buttons' are farely ...  Read the complete review
