i personally think that the F490 is a lovely phone to use although i cannot find a compatible cradle for hands free use so legally i am unable to use ... The Samsung F490 is really stylish, sleek and generally amazing. I have had it two weeks now and everything is sound.

I was initially hesitant when going for the Samsung F490 due to the "touch only" compatibility of the handset, however.

This is a review for the Samsung SGH-F490 touch screen, 3g, internet, music player, bluetooth bad camera, not manny free features. This phone is a great all rounder. Great camera, great memory card ( which comes with it) and very easy to use.
