GSMArena has written a review on the Samsung F490.Here’s the link.
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 the Samsung Armani phone – that was based on the same Touch UI. However the Samsung F490 seems like the most mature Touch product of them all avoiding most of the mishaps of the previous products.
Samsung F490 resembles Samsung F700 but it lacks the hardware QWERTY keypad of its sibling. Just by looking at it, our guess is it’s obviously aiming to put pressure on the LG Viewty, that is already available and gathering momentum.
