Samsung F480 - Rs.19,000



The Samsung F480 is not what I'm suggesting as one for an iPhone killer. The F480 is a simple and basic touchscreen phone as compared to the iPhone. Its main feature lies in its 5MP shooter. The camera of the phone is pretty brilliant and has the added touchscreen feature going for it.

The Samsung widgets are something that makes life much easier using the phone though the inclusion of the same in the OMNIA has been just a mess. The phone is smooth and easy to use as is good at what it does. The multimedia the camera the interface all seems pretty fine to knock any of the other handsets at a similar price except for the LG Viewty.

The Viewty is also a 5MP shooter with a touchscreen but has camera capabilities that are unbeatable. It has DiVX playback and recording support, and is 200-300 bucks cheaper. However, the Viewty's slow interface and not-so-supportive navigation are of concern as it takes time getting used to. So you can take your pick between the two, I'd suggest the Samsung F480, as it is a better phone.

Nice article. Although could you please review some more noise cancellation earphones/headsets? They are a pre-requisite for every music lover and I'm really hoping to see such reviews on TT.
