Samsung F480 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

This phone is rubbish, DO NOT buy it. Get a touch pro or a diamond instead. I cant believe this kind of junk exist on this world. OMG, please remove this junk. No Wifi, not even windows mobile using some crap software made by Samsung? Rubbish total JUNK!! JUNK!! JUNK!!! So what if it comes with a 5mp camera? If u want a decent camera, get a bloody digital cam, handphone camera can never make the grade. 5MP is the photo size, not the photo quality! Dont get suckered by that!!

Hi, I have used this phone for a couple of weeks now and its brilliant!



One question though, how can I get the photos off it onto my macbook??
I have tried countless times, I know a lot about both mac's ad phones, and tried with bluetooth and the cable, but to no avail...
Can ANYONE help me?
Thanks in advance!
:)

A very slick and stylish device. I have never owned such a user-friendly and good-looking phone. This is not the iphone killer but it all comes down to what you want.
It has an amazing 5mp camera and the widgets are a very good idea.
I would recommend getting this phone and if not a bit on the exspenive side it is a very good buy

This phone is no doubt a great little gadget. The faster internet speeds do pull along when you’re on a network with a good 3G signal (Vodafone). Mobile TV is something that we can all enjoy, and with networks now offering unlimited browsing it’s more accessible to us. I work in the industry and I would say right now this phone is one of the best. The touch screen is the best any make has ever pulled out. It uses heat sensitivity rather then pressure which I prefer. This is a negative for anyone with long nails or a stylus, but it’s so easy to use you don’t need a stylus. Texting is easier on this that on a normal phone, and I like the idea that you can drag and drop onto the main dashboard like a desktop. This is very user friendly and music quality on the device is great. So all in all 10/10. Oh, but I forgot about the camera, And Samsung would have been better off if I did. I have a SE C902 also and that has an incredible camera. This F480V has a poor camera. Fine it’s 5 megapixel camera, but were getting to carried away to remember what megapixels represent. I don’t know anyone who blows they pictures up to full on cinema size posters. So why not stick a good 3.2 megapixel camera on there? Battery life is good holding around 40 hours on heavy usage. All phones now have lithium batteries in them. Meaning you have to charge about every two days buy for about 30 minutes. Overall I’d say 8/10 camera is important to people and Samsung didn’t put a good one on here.

A lovely phone and beautifully finished. If you want it for its looks it's great. But I'm sorry to say that I found the software rather annoying. It's also a bit limited and I found it took longer to do elementary things like text or update contacts, and so on. Also I found the phone sometimes froze when I moved the widgets - it seems that that action can't be hurried. So except for its looks, the phone was a disappointment and certainly not up to the hype.
