According to GFK Associates , one of the largest market research companies in the world based at Nuremberg, Germany reports that Samsung with their F480 mobile phone has “topped the list of the most popular mobile phones” in  UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Russia , the major chunk of European Telco markets and it’s believed that it will not stop here .

The Samsung’s F480 aka Tocco is going for record sales in Switzerland where it’s been no 1 for  26 weeks and Five other of it’s models had been amongst top 10 in France and hold 30 % of the market in  in Russia, Italy and the Netherlands

The Samsung F480 aka Tocco features a 5MP Camera, Touch Wiz UI , 2.8 inch , 240 x 320 pixel 256 K screen .  It has an internal memory of 232 MB  and supports Mini SD card upto 8GB .

Samsung is not stopping at Tocco and is bringing out Tocco Ultra to give more fierce competition to Nokia . the world’s first full screen touch with 3 X 4 slide out keypad

The phone is a revolution featuring

  • 2.8 inch 16 million color AMOLED touch screen which Apple is rumored to bring out in iPhone in June 2009
  • 8 Mega Pixel Camera with 30FPS Video with Dual Powered LED Flash with Smile mode and Geo Tagging
  • New Touch Wiz 1,5 UI -  Proprietary Samsung operating System .
  • Haptic Screen Feedback
  • GPS and HSDPA at 7.2 mbps

Samsung is in to give a hard time to dominance of Nokia , with Tocco Ultra and coming up Omnia HD now known as i8910i  featuring Symbian S60 v5 like N97 and offering much better features thenN97   , Nokia is going to face fierce competition  from the number two in the world who is fast approaching to dethrone Nokia .

One drawback with Samsung Tocco and Tocco Ultra is Proprietary OS which makes applications much difficult to acquire  , hopefully Java applications will be available for download to make the most of the phones .
