General Comments

I really do not like this Samsung F490 phone. I was told by Vodafone it was the best they had back in May last year, but I wish i hadn't taken their advice. I find the touch screen is ridiculous, too sensitive and you end up pressing buttons that you didn't intend to. It is a pinickity hassle to answer and hang up. The camera is rubbish and everything blurs on it. Worst of all though, the predictive text is mindnumbingly hideous. If you enter a new name in your phone book or a one off word in a text, that will forever be what that combination of keys spells out - the only good point of this phone is it's such a darn hassle and annoyance to use sober that there is no way I would even attempt to send any drunk texts.
