Samsung Anycall Haptic beats the LG Viewty

We all love the Apple iPhone, but if you are a Samsung lover then back in March they launched the Anycall Haptic which has a large touch-screen, much like the iPhone. There is one thing that this phone has that the Apple iPhone does not a Haptic Pad, so you are able to feel the clicks.

I have an iPhone and I hate not being able to feel what I am doing on the phone, this is something that the LG Viewty has had for a while now, so it was about time Samsung come up with their own phone with a Haptic Pad.

The Samsung Anycall Haptic goes one better than the LG Viewty as there are 22 kinds of touch sensations, so you can control how much sensation you want to feel in your fingers.

Haptic is from the Greek “haptesthai,” which means touch. The plural form haptics means science and physiology of the sense of touch.

Scientists have studied the haptic technology for years, so by the time Samsung wanted to apply it to their Samsung Anycall Haptic, they knew a lot about the biology of touch.

Samsung F480 Tocco: could the become the UK’s favourite

The Samsung F480 which is better known as the Tocco could become the UK’s favourite handset, and just looking at some of the features you can see why. The Tocco is a slim handset which has a 2.8-inch touch-screen and uses a haptic pad, so no need for any buttons. The keypad accepts gentle taps of the finger, and the handset will respond to these taps with a gentle vibration, much like the LG Viewty.

When I read the specs I thought that the Tocco was a lot like the LG Viewty, but when I found out that the phone has 3G HSDPA at 7.2 Mbps, I realized that the Samsung handset was something totally different. The F480 also has a slimmer sleeker look, I have to say “The Tocco looks sexy,” but then again I have always been a fan of Samsung phones.

Keeping along the same lines as the Viewty, the Tocco has a 5 megapixel camera, but the handset also has Face Detection as well as auto focus, image stabilisation and an LED flash. The Samsung F480 Tocco also comes with web browser and email; this is speeded up by using 3G. To further complete the multimedia aspect of the handset is a FM radio.

To conclude: The Samsung Tocco is slightly smaller than other touch-screen handsets as well as being thinner, but it still maintains a solid feel. Even though the handset is smaller, it seems to pack more features in than a number of other handsets on the market. The Samsung F480 Tocco just wants to be touched, so go ahead.

I own an LG Viewty: should I buy an Apple iPhone?

My brother decided to get himself an Apple iPhone, so he decided to give me his LG Viewty well he must have felt sorry for me as I had an old Samsung D600. I must say at first I had a little trouble getting used to the touch screen on the Viewty, but I think I am starting to get used to it now.

The thing is I still miss my D600, I think it has something to do with the menu it is much better on the Samsung than it is on the LG. Well now I have had to listen to my brother going on about how fantastic his Apple iPhone is, and that has now got me thinking.

Should I stick with the LG Viewty, or should I go and spend some money for a change and purchase an Apple iPhone?
