Samsung F480 - user opinions and reviews

My mine gripe is the crappy earphones that come with it...unless you've ears like Dumbo, they won't go in / won't stay in! Went back to the shop to see what other earfones were available and the girl in the shop said most Samsungs suffered from this prob. Tried to get a 3.5mm adaptor (as the Samsung has a unique interface for the earfones) but none in shop and can't find on 'net. Am considering some bluetooth earfones but pricey...

Ez, 10 Jul 2008I have to say i am very disspaointed with this phone..
It looks great.. but:
*The 5mp came... moresounds like you've got a dodgy / faulty fone...suggest u return to shop for a replacement.
*The 5mp camera is crap
- mine is fine, and images transferred to pc look good IBTW, I also run a Canon DLSR)
*They drop calls halfway through,
- never had any probs
*Signal is rubbish,
- never had any probs
*Dusnt hold many msgs,
- never had a problem, but admittedly I don't send or recieve more than 10-12 a day and tend to housekeep regularly.
*Cannot rotate pictures & save them as wallpapers
- yes u can, but not easy to figure out how. See my earlier reply to anonymous
*Cannot have a screensaver of your own choice
- yes u can...open image and save as wallpaper
*Very quiet when ringing...
- dunno as mine's on a discreet vibrate as I try not to annoy others...
*Video editor is extremely hard to use aswell..
- dunno.
Had mine since end of June and TXTing is awkward but I've gotten used to it and the overall package is pretty impressive, plus I've yet to come across anyone else with one!

Anonymous, 10 Jul 2008Does anyone know how to use the rotate function when editing an image? The rotate button comes... moreHmmm, first reply appears incomplete, so here goes a 2nd time...
> open image
> select OPTIONS
> select EDIT and then a < will appear in the bottom right hand corner...
> press the < and x4 further options will appear - the right-hand most icon should be ROTATE.

Hi guys and gals! Gameloft are now doing touch screen games for the F480 at £3 a piece.... there are only about 10/15 at the moment, but they take into account that annoying grey bar at the bottom of Java applications so you don't get a bit cut off. They also work with the touch screen, so all good! Check out their site and get some fun on this awesome phone! :oD

The 5Mp camera is brilliant, The pics don't look that great on screen but when you put them on a PC they look fantastic.
Never drops calls
Very loud on calls
Very loud with music

Does anyone know how to use the rotate function when editing an image? The rotate button comes up but does not react to any touch or dragging whatsoever. Same for the flip function. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?

Hi buddies,
Searched much and found less about F480 music audio quality. Even GSMArena review strangely lacks the audio quality test.
Any one here with the phone and some music enthusiasm can tell me how the qudio quality is? is it compareable with iPod?
Thank you

I have read the opinions and inspired to buy, I realized after buying that there aren't much functionalities for the amount we pay.
1) Only 10 Groups are available. Offlate phones in Japan has flexible address book grouping.
2) Font size cannot be adjusted. Address book lists only a few rows. Not sure whether this is configurable.
3) Searching names in Address book - Oh my God! I am remembering Main Frame applications...
4) How do you switch off the key pad sound? Irritating!
5) Copy paste. I incorrectly entered First name in Last name column, hence cut it into memory expecting that I can paste in the First Name column. To my surprise where is clip board?
6) Want to redial? You had it!!
7) City Name in World Clock cannot be changed to suit your choice. If the time zone specifies Seoul, Tokyo, the widget shows Seoul irrespective where you are. Doesn't it sound too much?
