LG viewty Vs Samsung Tocco

Hail 2 Da Chimp

I am thinking of getting either an LG Viewty or Samsung Tocco, any one have either of these / care to make a recommendation?
As far as I can see they are both the same with the Samsung being a bit more expensive..?

Cheers for the help.

I've a samsung.

It's super cool. Easy to use. Texting is fine once you get used to it.

Brill camera(5mpx) with video editor. Cool widgets on home screen.

Thanks for the reply Leah, but as far as I can see the Viewty has all this and is €70 cheaper. Which is why I am confused

i had a viewty..its ok..some annoying problems with it ..such as the keyboars locking its self all the time when ur on a call and need to dial numbers for options etc

my mate has a tocco..id deffo go with the tocco..its a good bit slimmer/lighter and the touch screen is way more sensitive than that on the viewty..the only downside is that the screen is slightly smaller...and its a bit more expensive as you say

Doesn't the viewty have a qwerty keyboard??*ghey*

Anyway. I picked my tocco up on adverts.ie. A month old, with an 8gb memory card, receipts etc for e200

Having a look here and both of them seem to have terrible battery life.

mine would be fine with normal use. not major use for a day and a half

You can change the time the viewty takes to lock in the settings;)

I'm 100% on the Viewty over the tocco, the Viewty ages well, mine has fell on the ground more times and the screen has never broke, I find the viewty a lot more user friendly......it's a hardy touch screen. If your a bloke i'd definatley choose the viewty....one of the most reliable phones i've ever had...

Get the Viewty....

Ah thats not what I wanted to hear, I'm leaning towards the Tocco now!

Oh what an interesting read. I was having the Viewty v Tocco debate with myself over the last week (should have searched here, but anyway...).

I went with the Tocco because I got it for €29 on upgrade. It's a damn nice and sexy phone and the widget thingy on the front screen is kinda cool.

I've discovered one major flaw though. It only seems possible to have a maximum of 100 appointments in the calendar. This is despite me having an empty half gig memory card insitu. I have much more appointments than that in my Outlook which used to sync up perfectly with my Sony Ericsson W910i.

Can it be possible that one can't expand the number of appointments the calendar holds (i.e. by using the free space on the memory card)?

If I can't find a work around I'll be bringing it back for the Viewty...(though I did just see an E71 and that looks kinda nice).

To be honest, there's very little difference between the two handsets, so either should be fine.
