What is it:
Touchscreen phone with alphanumeric keyboard

Typical price:
£349.99

We like:
Amoled screen; eight-megapixel camera with bright dual LED lights; great desktop syncing software; slim design; customisable home screen with widgets

We don't like:
Unintuitive user interface; confusing soft keyboard; touchscreen could be snappier

The judgement:
The Samsung Tocco Ultra is a big bundle of features packed into a sexy silhouette, crowned with a stunning Amoled touchscreen. The user interface isn't as easy to use as it could have been but it's flexible and fun to customise, thanks to the widgets on the home screen
