Samsung SGH-F480 Review

0. phoneArena posted on 25 Jun 2008, 09:50

The first Samsung non-smart phones with a large touch screen were based on the Croix interface. It had a ton of drawbacks – monochrome, ugly and not very user-friendly. Apparently, the manufacturer has decided to fix that and has developed new software, called TouchWiz. Its debut was in the F480, which is the subject of our review. This is a high-end device with a very attractive appearance, equipped with a 2.8-inch display, a 5-megapixel camera and HDSPA 7.2Mbps support ...

Yeah, and also the iPhone and Touch Diamond are around the same price, if not more expensive yet they both got very high for the Average Joe rating??

I was just making a comment that prices are starting to fall. It's about 495 on plemix, I believe. By American standards yes it is quite expensive. But people got to remember that without provider's subsidy on the phone, even average basic phone costs around 2xx already no? If Average Joe just have enough buying sense, instead of signing up for a contract for 2 years and get some shitty phones, they can go to independent sellers and get better phones at a reduced price as well. I'm just saying that there is more than ONE way to purchase a phone. PLUS my only real comment was that they misspelled AND 550 IS NOT expensive for a touted FASHION phone. Yes, it doesn't have the "Armani" branding attached to it, but using that definition Nokia "7xxx" series are not fashion devices either, and so aren't "8xxx" series.

7xxx is fashion device and 8xxx is luxury series

I have the tocco for 3 months now. its a realy nice phone, and i don't find the anoying lag in the menu's maybe the lag is only in your test-model. i agree on the fact that the camera isn't that good. But i think this phone is a bit underrated. i normally switch between phones once in 2 months but i am keeping this phone, becouse of its look and the quality of the touch-screen

agree, the camera isn't as good, especially if they're going to advertise is as 5MP, but we can't expect too much from a camera phone afterall. I find the phone pleasant to use, and after the upgrade of a firmware, it's even better. New widgets and the camera is better. :D
