Samsung F490 - user opinions and reviews

Samsung

Hi guys, I work in a mobile shop and for the past 2 1/2 years have been a strong campeigner of samsung phones. We have the least returns and faults with them by far. Much better phones, hoping this phone cane be a real break through, nice feature, clever design, nice looks and samsung simple user. Nokia of late and SE have had the worst returns, disgusting amounts as a matter of fact. Damn the N95, 6500 classic, E65 and W910i or making my life hell at work! Hope this helps some people out. I understand some narrow minded Nokia freaks will have an issue , but this is from my own personal experiences. I simply would not go for any other brand. Tim

very beautiful, but touch screen is not the future for mobiles, Samsung just want to take back the market from apple, no need, iphone will die soon as it is a real stupid useless mobile

You guys should consider the fact this is a phone not a digital camera. If you want a good camera buy a digital SLR. You don't need autofocus on a 5MP it's very good without.

JUST A HELPFUL HINT FOR PEOPLE CONSIDERING THIS PHONE. I DONT OWN ONE

i read somewhere that LG and Samsung share the same factory for phones? i might be wrong, but that would explain how their designs are so similar.

Samsung never copy LG buth of them has one disteny.

it is good but it can be the best by having autofocus on 5MP camera and WLAN and also better in camera recording.

I hope the best for samsung

Hopefully this phone will appear in the Philippine merket. The design is very classy and elegant. Sure it will have an expensive price..

nice specs and form factor ... but without wireless lan? Imagine the cost to use full web browser. The web loading would cost a bomb unless you have unlimited package with telco on gprs usage.
