Samsung F480 review: Touchdown! - read the full textTo pick up where we left, prepare to meet the next bestseller by Samsung. If you think Samsung F480 is not up to such a challenge you might want to think again. The compact touch-operated handset has every chance of becoming the next best thing...

This phone is probably 1 of the best phone ever, the touch screen is really sensitive, Beforehand my friend is trying to persuade me not to buy it, But i bought it and i think i made the right decision, it even better than his 1, which is $200 more than mind. the disappoint thing about this phone is that, u cant install games or app, well, actually u can, but u need to go through lot of method which is time consuming, so i just gonna stay with that boring puzzle game. this is just my opinion 8/10 for the phone.

There are at least 3 ways to download application as far as I know. Copying from PC just will not do.

1. Via internet on phone: Go to free jar site such as getjar.com from your mobile. Search for your mobile. F480 might not be listed there, search applications for Samsung D900. Download as many as you like to your mobile. Almost all of them will run on your mobile.

2. Another way using internet on your mobile is shown in the link below:

32. Without internet: If you do not have internet on mobile, there is another option. Open the following link in your browser.

or

You can use www.getjar.com to get free games. But remember to search for Samsung D900.

I am using this phone for last 3 months. Main pros & cons according to me are as follows:

Pros:
Great Looks

3G, EDGE, HSDPA

Excellent sound quality (through head phones)

Easy touch dialing

Good touch UI

Document viewer

Good browser

220 MB phone memory

cons:

though 5MP with auto focus & all other feature is the biggest disappointment. My older Nokia 6280 with 2MP is better both for still & video.

No Wi-fi/ GPS

No qwerty key board

No auto rotation feature

No downloading of third party application supported through PC. Application can only be downloaded by using web on the phone. Once downloaded they are saved in phone memory & can not be moved.

I am thinking of changing my phone. If only somehow camera performance improves, I shall let do with other disadvantages. But how to improve it?

the pc suite messaging feature does not work at all for me.
absolute rubbish phone and now i'm locked into a 24 month contract.
why dont mobile phone shops have a try before you buy service.

I am tossing up between the Samsung F480 and the LG KC910 (Renoir) Both appear to be great phones on paper but unfortunately both have had mixed reviews and mixed comments from users. Please give me an honest opinion or response as to which one i am better off to choose. All i really need in the phone is a good speakerphone, so all these other aspects are just bonuses for me but if i am spending the money on either of these i want it to be worth my while! Cheers
