iPhoneBuzz: Apple iPhone 3G hands-on roundup

Several hands-on iPhone 3G reports from after the WWDC 2008 Keynote are out, and as you might expect they’re all saying pretty much the same thing. Despite the few extra millimeters thickness over the old iPhone, Apple’s newly slimmed edges disguise it well and the plastic - which is a concession to the numerous wireless radios packed inside - feels reasonable, though some question how scratch-resistant it will prove. Apple are claiming it’ll disguise wear better than the original. The buttons have been switched to metal for aesthetic, not practical reasons, and are sharper-edged. A few people have suggested that the new, white 16GB handset is particularly feminine, though that’s more personal choice than anything else.

Samsung Tocco

We’ve talked a lot about the Samsung Instinct and its cool functionalities.

It too features full touch-sensitive interface with haptics and looks very similar with the Instinct, but brings some innovative characteristics such as a unique customizable user interface and the brushed metal finish, in a protective leather case.

Now let’s get back to the specifications! Samsung Tocco integrates a 5MP camera with automatic face detection and image stabilizer like in digital cameras, a 2.8-inch large QVGA LCD display of 362K colors, and full Internet browser for great viewability while reading stuff on the Internet.
It gives you access to music recognition features, a 240MB internal music memory, memory card slot for up to 8GB of media storage and an FM radio for listening to your favorite tunes while on the go.
Thanks to the widgets-based menu you can drag-and-drop things like on your computer and play with birthday reminders, music player and radio player.
One nice aspect is its small size, almost of a credit card and with a stylish body measuring just 11.6 mm thickness. Another nicer aspect is that you can download things that interest you with a speed of up to 7.2Mbps because the Smartphone supports HSDP connectivity standard.
Samsung Tocco runs on the Croix UI operating system.

The company is investing £3.5 million in its advertising campaign and we can’t wait to find out more about it!
