worst feature isn't really the phone, more the lack of info and that it doesn't have a radio, Also It comes with a 1gb micro sd card but trying to find out whether it can have a 4gb micro sd hc is proving impossible even when asking Samsung themselves...they don't know !!!
General Comments
The Samsung F490 touchscreen works well on around 95% of the screen, althou this is about practice and getting used to the phone, the vibrating felt when tapping the screen gives it a nice if a little amusing feel to it when using... when all said and done for a phone it works fine once you get used to it...
is it an iPhone killer...No, but not a bad effort...
