    Here's a closer look at a full-touch handset from Samsung.

    Sharp screen, Good audio quality, Good build, 5MP auto-focus camera, 3G (HSDPA 7.2MBps).

    No WiFi, No touch QWERTY keypad, Poor Headset.

    next



Way back when the iPhone was out and I managed to get a hands-on experience with the phone, I had said that we will soon have other manufacturers with their own full-touch operational handset. And soon enough we had rumors and spy shots of various companies working towards it.

Today we'll take a look at what Samsung has to offer as a full-touch operational handset. The first try comes in the form of the F480 and we already have the next "Omnia" out in the Indian market. It's sad that we weren't able to receive this handset earlier, thanks to all the delays from the source. Nevertheless here we are with it and without further delay let's get straight to it, starting with the bundle.

If you are expecting to know how much better this is than the iPhone, there is a para at the end of the review with my take on it.

Bundle

Samsung F480

Stereo Headset

USB Cable

Unfortunately we didn't receive the entire package so I can't confirm the rest of the contents, especially memory card capacity.

i am using this phone for last three months. and the battery backup is superb. even though it has so many features still the battery backup is great. looks are great. camera is sexiest. the only negative point i think is the image viewer.its a bit slow.but rest is just so good. so not to worry about battery buddy.

I purchased F480 on 23 March of worth Rs. 15350 from a Hotspot store. But you'll need to purchase a memory card also because it doesn't have memory card. 2Gb of rs 400 would be the better option. Great phone but lacking with battery life. Only of 1.5 or 2 days.

If you compare the price of Touchwiz (20k) and Iphone, the touchwiz wins the race...and it also has 5 mp camera with it....Iphone is overpriced...dont know why thy did it....but I think they should come down a bit...
