Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S review: S as in SophomoreSamsung F490 review: Fingertip away
The Samsung F490 follows a trend that we welcome - touch-based user interface and a 5 megapixel autofocus camera. Add a widescreen 3.2" TFT display and a slim profile, and it already sounds like a juicy deal. We've already reviewed...

What's the differnce between F490 and F490V?

Am I right?

in the review it mentioned that it was not possible to watch a widescreen film on the phone. I have also seen this mentioned in reviews else where (shock horror).
has anyone tried themselves to encode a film in this resolution, and has it worked.

Why is the image quality of F490 camera so bad? And why is this bad quality not pointed out in this review?

Well what can I say..that's award winning Interface my dear.
And to the person below..dannie,...seems you dont even read the article. The reviwer mentioned it clearly that this is aimed at LG viewty and its NOT a "iPhone Killer".

nDCk is right: This is the F490V Vodafone variant which explains the demo games, vodafone live icon in the menu and alternate (in this case better looking) icons. The unbranded one would have full games but those hideously ugly icons seen in the Armani phone

Well... you actually tested Samsung F490V, which is a Vodafone branded firmware. Oh, and the icons are so legible due to the new Vodafone branding. As for the games, it's true... carriers do want demo versions in the phones so you can download the full versions from the carriers' portals. An unbranded handset would have full games and other icons (and possibly other RF values).

Regarding the games "issue", it's a new wave in carriers. They like to offer trial version of the games. No matter if the phone cost 400€ or 40€. I have right here a N95 8GB with a nice branded firmware which is pretty ugly and a few trial games.
It's a pity that if we spend high amounts of money they still offer the same sales quality...a limited product
Thanks for your nice reviews
