6.8/10 Excellent |
Provided by: |
| What Is It? | Touchscreen fashion phone with a 5-megapixel camera | |
| What We Think | It looks the part but its interface and features don't deliver |
|
| We like | Large screen; 3.5mm headphone jack | |
| We don’t like | Interface doesn't work as well as it could | |
| Accessories | Spare Battery, Headset, Cases | |
| CNET.co.uk judgement | It's great to see Samsung enter yet another market with a phone that looks to be an iPhone killer. The problem with the Samsung F490, though, is that its interface isn't the best and it lacks a star feature relative to other phones in its category | |
