    Bought the Samsung F490 instead of an iPhone in a moment of weakness. Touch screen seems sluggish and frustrating to me. I think texting is a disaster. It seems you have to unlock the keys to hang up! Mine doesn't render html properly so most emails are unreadable. I think the camera is disappointin ...

    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 ans ...

    Its very stylish and a great phone to show off to your mates. If you want a phone that you can have fun with, and show off I suggest you buy this. However if you use your mobile for most of the day making a lot of calls and your likely to drop it. I suggest not to. Therefore I do not recommend Samsu ...

    I've had my F490 for almost 4 months now and it has succeeded in driving me to the brink of insanity. In fact I have finally had to face the terrible truth about my Samsung's inadequacies and have just ordered an Eriksson C902 so that I can have a ceremonial 'stamping on the Samsung' event sometime ...

    I've had this phone since April and I was immediately attracted to it just by looking at the photo. It's a very modern, stylish phone and the touch screen works well, especially with the vibration feedback. However, it can be awkward to answer/hang up a call but it's nothing worth crying over. The t ...

    I was initially hesitant when going for the Samsung F490 due to the "touch only" compatibility of the handset, however, it works well and the touch screen is sensitive whilst not responding to bups and knocks from waylaid fingers **** stars

    The Samsung F490 is fantastic, have not tried an I Phone but it has to be good to beat this. I read plenty of reviews regarding this phone on a number of review sites, these seemed to differ from one extreme to the other. I have to say I absolutely love this phone, moving from a Samsung D840 to this ...

    I have read reviews that state the Samsung F490 is a phone for the younger generation quite simply because of its high tech functionality. Well, I am aged 40 and I disagree. On the whole, I am impressed. I was toying with the idea of getting an iPhone but was put off because of it not having MMS a ...

    I moved from a K800i and almost went for the 850i, instead used the contract renewal to try this phone. I like it lots esp the vibrating response when you tap the screen so you know your command is acknowledged.
    Answering and hanging up a call is a nuisance - I understand why it is the way it is, bu ...
