  Samsung F490
  By Andrew Lim
  
  Review summary: There's no doubt about it -- touchscreen phones look sexy. With its glossy exterior, you can't deny the elegance of the Samsung F490. It carries a 5-megapixel camera on its back and packs 3G and HSDPA into its Web browser. How's that for desirability?
  
  Pros: Large screen; 3.5mm headphone jack
  
  Cons: Interface doesn't work as well as it could
  
  Verdict: It's great to see Samsung enter yet another market with a phone that looks to be an iPhone killer. The problem with the Samsung F490, though, is that its interface isn't the best and it lacks a star feature relative to other phones in its category
