  • ive had the samsung F480 for about two years now, and personally i think the phone was great. i have dropped it over a hundred times and yet the phone worked greatly. the touch features are great, its small and perfect for the usual texting and calling. the only thing that didnt suit me so well were the camera, which had a delay in taking photos after pressing the button and the bluetooth pairing as it doesnt recognise everything.. other than that the phone itself is great and worth the money spent on it.

  • My samsung battery was dying so i used a different samsung charger that is not the same as my tocco. it then turned it self off and did not seem to be charging. it will not come back on now and iive thougt of everything can you tell me why it wont come on?

  • Every things is okey and easy for any how...but cnnot use themes..

  • M usng F480i quite ok.silent key pad,sensitive touch,quick net connection.

  • use the side key....you can control vibration and key sounds

  • When battery is fully discharged, phone won't charge with USB; it won't even start even when plugged in to the cable. Took it for repair under warranty, and techs said they put in a charged battery & phone worked fine. Haven't used the phone for last 8 months, and encountered same problem. Phone out of warranty now, and now will cost half the value of the phone just for service fees. New battery cost extra. Plugged in the wall (mains) charger, works ok. Just don't let battery fully discharge that phone turns off. As long as phone is turned on, USB charges fine.

  • Hi guys.. This one is very easy to operate. To mute the keypad tone, just decrease the volume button in the left hand side to Zero. That will be fine...

  • Has anybody found out how to use volume control. I want to silence my keypad yet want to leave phone on normal so I can hear incoming calls? Can I alter the volume of the ring tone/ kepad? It is so annoying for me (and those around me)to hear the sound of the key pad when txting.

  • Jolee Thank you. You have probably saved me time faffing around. I too want to use my phone with a silent touch pad yet hear the ring tone. So frustrating. Did you ever sort this one out?

  • Manufacturers settings are no good. I bought one only to find that I could not make the keypad sound on silent/mute; when I asked for help at services, they suggested I keep it on silent/vibration which means the phone can never be used with ringtones but only silent always. Normally, with any other mobile phones, you can have the option of keeping the key pad sounds on silent but not this phone! So its not something people would want! Service with settings could have improved as it was set up incorrectly.

  • I have this phone from june 2008 and is one of the best phones i ever had ,didn't had to stay even one single minute in service,the problems posted above may appear due to a bad soft ,even in this times it's somehow keeping the pace with the new phones beeing able to deliver anytime some drawbacks in comparison with others phones is lack of wifi and application you might find to work properly are realy rare and you will gona have to look for some time to find the suitable ones but at the price it comes and the performance it offers is a very good deal.

  • had this phone for a year now, really hard to scroll up and down in your contacts and when i try to turn it off it turns on by itself, even when the battery dies it will sit there for fifteen minutes going on and off.

  • but it dont have wifi

  • i've had this phone for 2 years and i hated after having it for 3 months i would advise you to not get this phone!!!!!!!!!! i decided i was soo sick of it i said ima break it! so what i did i banged the screen on the metal pole and it wouldnt break so i tried stomping on it, it still didnt break. what is wrong with that thing but my contract will be up this march and i can finally get a new phone. praise jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i have this phone at the moment. and to be honest...it is the best phone i have ever have, it does everything you want it to do, it has excellent touch screen; its not like some of these phones that dont sense your touch very well. the only thing that i would say is slighty a downfall is that there is no wifi with it/: i'm getting a new phone shorty, but only cause i have had this phone for 3 years, and it still acts like its brand new, and i'm bored of it, it is a matt finish, so its not like your finger prints would come up all over it! all in all...fab phone:-)x

Main problem with phone... when listening to a voice mail.. the touch screen is SO sensitive, you can delete, replay, save messages with screen touching your ear!!

  • Hi "Anonymous", firstly upload the software disc that comes in the box on your computer. Then update the program by clicking on the tab "get the latest updates" . After this 2 minutes manace, plug your phone into your computer with the USB cable that comes with it. Wait for the updates to come tru, thats it!!! No Drammas.

  • these handsets are just like mini-computers therefore they need to have softwares updates every 3 to 6 months in order to work smoothly, so stop complaining and plug it into your computer once you load the software that comes with it: its called maintainance!

  • Help ! I bought phone yesterday and I have problem with charging. When I start charging phone I get message > Charging paused. Battery temperature is too high or too low. How to resolve this problem ? To buy new battery or...?

  • You need to check your internet connection settings with your service provider.

  • you've got the wrong product.this is not for you

  • i've been using this handset for 16 months now. it does it for me, i mean, camera is ok as long you use during the day only: flash is not strong enough; internet browsing is superfast, as long you are on a 3g coverage area; widgets are limited but more can be downloaded from samsung website or f480 widgets application website- operator charges apply, overall is a good phone. mind you folks: these handsets are just like mini-computers therefore they need to have softwares updates every 3 to 6 months in order to work smoothly, so stop complaining and plug it into your computer once you load the software that comes with it: its called maitainance hard-heads!

  • i have had this phone for 2 years, it is not bad but it really depends on your purpose of usage etc. my sister has a samsung phone that is older than F480 but her phone has wi-fi which F480 does not have(this is the only thing i would complain about really) other than that, i would say it worths the buy; when i got it in 2008 it bought it for £200

  • Does anyone have an idea on this ???

  • its good and nice set for use

  • My F480 has started to give a number of repeat sound alerts about a newly received SMS. I want to know how to go back to only an initial alert sound.

  • Oh man, this phone does the trick for me. Why would I want a smart phone? I am smart enough to know I dont need a smart phone. Cut the crap: Internet: 10 out of 10 Camera: 4 out of 10 Functionality: 6.5 out of 10 Menu applications: 7 out of 10 Interaction dynamics with the user: 7 out of 10 Appareance: 7 out of 10 Overall: 7 out of 10 Recommendation: Recommended.

  • I've had this phone for over a year now and I'm getting really ancious to replace it by a better phone. The phone itself works great and I very seldom have problems using it. Also the phone book is great and easy to manuever. Compared to some newer smartphones the F480 is quite small and thus they've excluded the qwerty keyboard in the software. However the numeric keyboard works great and it's actually very easy to write somewhat fast using the T9. This phone was one of the first to implement Samsungs TouchWizz technology generating a small "buzz" when touching the screen which imitates the feeling of actually pushing a physical button. This or similar technologies are now standard in most smartphones. As the phone grows older it tends to slow down in it's touch-screen reactions. The camera is, like most other camera phones, rather poor of quality. For landscape photos and alike it's great, but for everything else it's pretty much useless and the anti-shake function even seems to make things worse instead of better. Don't use it for photographing people... Also the bluetooth has for me been a dissapointment. I had two bluetooth headsets that I used for my earlier phone (also a Samsung) but with this new one the headsets loses connection pretty much right after having connected. I haven't used my headsets at all since I bought this phone. I wrote to Samsung in the hope of them producing a firmware update in which they'd turn up the volumen of the bluetooth antenna. This never came! However connection to my PC using bluetooth works fine, although it's not possible to disconnect unless you turn off bluetooth. Browsing the internet on this phone os surprisingly good, especially if you install the Opera 5 mobile browser. The standard browser does not have a zoom in/out functionality. Be aware that the phone does not support Java-script or Ajax - and surtainly not Flash.

  • i so love my phone...and everything about it but i just cant seem to be able to record my voice calls, somebody help is this even possible hey?

  • @hehehe:if your pc has a bluetooth you can transfer the images from ur cp directly to the computer using the same way.other option is to download a software for it...e.g.pc suit, then do the rest!

  • Well first you got to activate the bluetoth device in your phone, then make sure the other device that you wish to pair up is on as well. Once both devices are on, pair them up with same passwords (use 1234) then wait for the message. Note: NOT ALL bluetoth and or phone brands are compatible with your phone , just like the other brands

  • I just love this phone works fantastic all the features you wish for is in it except WiFi however you can have an internet package included in your plan ,Lightning fast speeds.

  • It is the best phone i have ever used. 5 mp camara works perfectly. The most important part of this phone that the 3g Feature provides a class one internet Speed. Only de merit you don't get gps Enabled. Otherwise everything is superb in this phone. Fetch it and enjoy browsing it.

  • Great tool, easy to operate, very good camera for stills and video, easy to install applications and there are lots of, great radio, good comunication, gps works all right, what else does one need, long time battery, touchscreen perfect.

  • I have this phone!!! I think they are the best phone out!!! the camera is absolutly great on it.... and the touch on it is great too... if I had to rate this phone I would give it 10/10

  • Give me an internet page to found themes for this phone and applications..it`a great phone and camera it works perfectly

  • i have had so many problems with this phone! vibration breaking, not charging, and not turning on. i have 3 in total and would advise anyone to stay away from this phone! the camera is also crap! BIG DISAPOINTMENT

  • This mobile is very good and its camera is very nice but the internet is not good at all it is very stylish and very powerfull(physically)mobile.It fell like almost 7 time but not even a scrach appeared on it.This mobiles smile detection is very good.And it can take videos for a very long time.

  • is the phone having wifi?

  • mere pas f480 mobile ha. buht buht nice result ha es k camere ka . its a absulutly a very very nice camera .

  • Thanks for a good summary - clear, concise, balanced and seemingly not biased.

  • I find the camera quite useful. It's a phone, not a camera but takes good snap shots. I would suggest altering the shutter speed is you are getting blurry images and not using the automatic flash. And it can take pictures quickly if you set it to say them automatically. The internet is pretty rubbish, but I found using Opera on it, it was ok. I can not report the same problems with the touch screen although it's no where near some more expensive devices. Ironically the "phone" part of the whole operation could be better as my old nokia and more recent LG get better signal and are clearer. Texting can be frustrating as the menu to select languages, fonts etc is on the right, and for this reason, as a right handed person I often press these menus by mistake. This wouldn't happen if they were on the left.

  • up to 8GB

  • how much more capacity micro sd for f480

  • After selecting the device u want to send data to, drag it to your phone's picture (the blue one) then u can access that device.

  • If you like wi-fi more than photos...you should choose the S5230W...and the camera for the f480 is not that go0d so if you choose the other device it is just the same photo quality like the f480 ^_^ hope this helps ^_^

  • i just wannt to know if it good if we compare it with S5230W or not ,,,,,,,, but i like wifi too much than photos so anyone tell me if it good for me or work also ..... i just want to know if it reliable or not :) really need anyone to tell me :) :) :)

  • did you try dragging the name of the device to the middle? ^_^ you have to drag the device you want to share with at the middle ^_^

  • in my samsung f480 phone bluetooth device search the other device but i cant access the device(i cant give data to other phone)

  • this phone is very stylish but his camera cliarity is not good the phone is a parfcet phone in bussiness releted

  • I'm curious about the 5MP camera quality on this phone. Some find it good, others don't. See Geoff (11 March), Hossein (9 March) and bibo (12 Feb). They're happy. I'm after a phone that also takes pretty good photos. Anyone else find the camera function good?

  • another thing is that...there are limited widgets you can use...and the resolution of the screen is also poor...if you want to buy this because of the camera...maybe you should try other devices...I don't use it all the time to capture images because its slow and the quality is not that good....

  • Totally agree with you moimoi. The camera has a considerable 'lag' from the time you press the button and when the picture is taken. In addition, the touchscreen function is quite dodgy in terms of lag in general (try moving some of the widgets on your main screen and you will understand). Combine all that i have said with navigating through the address book with a tiny scrollbar. Tedious tedious... Since the phone is a touchscreen you would want to keep your phone locked most of the time. Needless to say, even that function is botched up and dodgy. The button to lock the phone is unresponsive and 'lags' (yes) so you would need to press it a few times before anything seems to happen.

  • Is the camera really so bad on this phone or are the negative comments by dumb users?

  • for me you shouldn't choose this unit because of its camera quality...its not that good. It takes about 5-8 seconds to capture and often times its distorted and blurry...

  • I love this phone, it's my new one, i'm on Vodafone Contract and it's brilliant. I get 900 minutes, unlimited Texts, and unlimited Internet for £20. As I am an avid reader, I can read my eBooks on the phone on the go. Or sneakily in my lessons :) It's pretty good when it comes to dropping it, as I've dropped it numberous times, and it hardly marks at all. Whereas my last phone would just chip to pieces. Overall Great Phone :)

  • Honestly i wouldn't buy this phone for the camera as the quality of it isn't very good. The pictures are often blurry.

  • I've had this phone about 5 - 6 months and i am currently looking to upgrade because there is one default that kinda ruined this phone for me - The internet access wasn't very user friendly. I am on a unlimited internet contract but i hardly get the use out of it because of the un easy access on my phone. It's not a smartphone but still... Basically my apps don't remember my address or password so i have to write it out several times, which is really frustrating when you're in a hurry so you tend to give up. For exempel facebook, gmail...etc will ask for my password and address 5 times not remembering it at all. The screen seems to small as you can't see a web pages properly so really annoying when trying to read a blog, website for exemple as you have to sort of float around the page or try and zoom out but the writing tends to become too small so it's not easy to read. A part from that i was quite happy with the rest of this phone, texting is ok, a little un-sensitive at times but i guess it would be like that for all tactile phones. The camera is rubbish as it takes ages to take the photo and i tested if with a phone which has 3 megapixels and the image was better on the 3 megap. phone. But it does have a lot of uses and if you don't really want internet access i would recommend this phone.

  • he i want 2 buy samsung f 480for its cemera quality should i buy

  • wow, never thought about that. or maybe i could have, if that Jet was around years earlier! Brilliant

  • hi guyz i am currently using this phone...i had it last year ^_^ and it was so cool having it but the again the camera was a big disappointment...it will take me about 5 seconds just to capture image and sometimes when you upload the images to your computer it is distorted...but all in all it is a good working phone...I enjoy using it now I am buying sony ericson xperia x2...^_^ Advatages: -good for sms messaging -great audio quality -User friendly -media viewing is also easy -data sharing is a breeze -Battery life is longer than what i expected it to be Disadvantages: -5 mega pixel camera is a joke..looks like a 3.5 mega pixel camera -pictures sometimes gets destroyed when uploading it to the computer -no qwerty board -no wi-fi -screen resolution is poor -lighting in day light is also poor *hope this help and by da way i know how you can put java apps on your f480 so if you want to know just reply to my comment...thanks ^_^

  • Just got mine today, excited!!

  • I just want to know how we can dowloadthe games and softwares on which web site

  • The phone itself is really nice and so is the the camera but not when you drop it.I dropped it once from a distance of 4.5 feet of the ground on the back and it had the case on and it didnt even touch the camera.After that my camera key was not working!

  • I just want to know how we can dowloadthe games and softwares on which web site

  • I have read the instruction manual supplied with the phone and found it as useful as a three legged racehorse. My main problem with this phone is I cannot adjust the time to automatically update for daylight saving. I have tried and when I restart the phone the time is correct but the date is the 1st of next month. I have to manually set the time and then reset the date and it is then correct. Can anybody solve this problem? My last phone was a Nokia 6500 Classic and worked well till it went through the washing machine. It was set to automatically update the time when daylight saving started and finished. It was with Optus as is the Samsung. So the problem apparently may be with the software initially installed on the phone. Can anybody shed any light on this?

  • Samsung F480 is one of the best phones available. I'm very sad that i have lost mine, a few days back. I have lodged a complaint with the cops. Hope i get it back soon.

  • Not sure if its the samsung behold (which i have) but if it is, its a real gud phone. 3G on it is awesome, best camera ive ever seen on a phone, and its speakers are loud. Again i doubt its the behold because the behold has no radio but this F480 does.

  • No

  • you need to do an upgrade, just like to any other computer or phone, simply connect it to you computer, after installing the Samsung software and it will download the latest software updates. That should fix it. Phones are loke computer, they need software upgrades

  • Nothing is perfect

  • Does anyone know how to setup email for this phone i dont have a clue iam on tmobile and using a f480 i dont know how to

  • One more thing I don't like about it: when the phone is shut down it erases the phone number of the messages center, and I have to reintroduce it everytime this thing happens.

  • I've been using this phone for about a year and it's ok. The things that I don't like about it are that some times the touch screen "freezes" and it doesn't have wi-fi.

  • I have been using thus phone for 8 months now and NOTHING wrong has happened to it. I mean , it has been functionally good, very entertaining, fun to use all the features... There is NO WiFi however you can access it using a data package from your service provider. Its fast, reliable and interactive. NO REGRETS from me.

  • camera's a big let down

  • WORST MOBILE PHONE I EVER HAD IN MY LIFE I bought this fone days after it was released. In the end it is now in the trash. After 10 weeks I found the fone turning off by itself and the screen turning blue. It later froze up. I took it to a centre and in the end it couldnt be fixed. Dont buy this fone because in the end you will regret it. Remember a better fone called Nokia 5530 which i have bought and am enjoying.

  • Great phone but the 5MP camera was a let down. The autofocus usually messes up the shot and makes it slightly blurry. Can one turn Autofocus off?? and It takes like 5 seconds to capture the shot when u press to shoot a pic? any help please?

No problems with it, not once,never freeze, never turns itself off and i didnt manage to scratch it no matter what i've had in my pocket!I have dropped it so many times and it still works perfectly,nothing broken or damaged and it fell on pavement, down the stairs etc. watching films and pictures is a superb quality, i just cant beleive! music sound is great as samsung were one of the first phones with music player out so they do know what they are doing! trust me, its worthy!

  • No offence.. but it aint Samsung or the phone's fault.. only u are to blame.. dont blame the phone or the maker..I bet u have dropped it and dammaged the drive within the phone.. so just thin before u post here..

  • Ur comment 'i would recommend getting the LG Viewty over this'... why.. it has the same camera resolution, the LG Viewty is basically a block.. and the sensitivity is reasonabally the same for all touch phones. Im just saying.. its a personal preference.. my sister has the lG Viewty.. its too bulky for my liking.. however the Samsung F480 is slim and looks really good.

  • i would advise you not to buy it, i have struggled with mine for two months. too sensitive for my fingers. brand new if anyone wants to buy it? i like samsung phones and am going back to my old one for now.

  • Get the lg viewty instead. Its interface is slightly less flashy, but it is a superior alternative, with better camera, and video.

  • hello my friend. i would like to know thats does this phone have wifi in it? how is the 3g funtion?

  • Hi Everyone, I got this phone about six months ago on a plan. It gives the looks, features and touchscreen experience you'd expect. It needed to go for an update after 3 months, that was the only setback. It works fine, the navigation menu is colorfull and interactive. Downs: no WiFi but you can get an internet pack and works beautifully on line, fast. the camera is 5MP but honestly I dont know if I need to set my phone's camera properly because photos come out not good enough. THATS ALL FOLKS!

  • I have been using it for 18 months. Great phone. Great 3.5G experience. Good camera. I'm happy.

  • I've had this phone for a year, and it works great.. and trust me im not the kind of person who takes care of my phone. it has fallen hundreds of times, it's fallen into water, juice, alcohol, and anything you can think of has fallen onto/into it and yet it works fine. freezes sometimes but that's nothing out of the ordinary. I'm getting bored of it.

  • im gonna buy it !! im excited rather lol

  • Ive had the same experience. At least urs lasted 11 months. Mine gave problems from about the second month !! (i bought it from singapore)

  • This phone is absolute crap. Design-wise and features-wise its great, but after having it for just 5 months the screen was getting stuck and even turning it off and on doesnt fix it. After perhaps a day it starts working again. I had to get the screen replaced, but once again it stopped working just after a month. Im very careful with my phones. My advice is dont by this phone or any touch phone that samsung has. I will never use another samsung again.

  • Hey guys, i want to buy this piece. But m not getting it. Please if anybody wants to sell it plz tell me the price and condition. My number is 9892035300. Thanks.

  • It should only take about 8 hours to charge the first time. Once all three blocks/bars are full, there is no notification to tell you it's charged. so once they're all full, it's done.

  • do you mean you can't open the phone itself? i had the same problem. Push down on the back of the phone (where the line is) and push foward (the way the arrow points). you have to apply a fair bit of pressure, but the more you open it, the easier it gets.

  • i've had this phone for a while, but it keeps freezing on me - especially when i try to send texts. I have to continuosly turn the phone on and off and remove the battery, and it still dosn't un freeze. i have to leave it to sit, until it starts working again! i haven't dropped the phone or done anything wrong. please help me 2 fix it!!!!

  • Had the phone since April 2009, I find the SMS functions frustrating as the touch screen is to sensitive due the the design. Being female I don't have huge finger tips, so men would just find this horrendous to use. I also find when listening the earpeice is very faint. On the plus the camera is good and using the radio it is clear

  • Help please....where can I find the document viewer on the phone! Thanks

  • i really wanted to have this samsung f480 but i heard negative feed backs about it and made me think twice to buy..wat to you think?im afraid to waste my money.thanks

  • How does the 360� view work?

  • This is first class... rubbish!!!!! If you have more than 50 contacts you find ANY! 5 dozen steps to make a phone call or send a SMS! Touch screen is VERY iffy! PC connectivity is poor.. When connected it ask dumb questions �connect to memory card that is not in there and won�t budge until you have changed the phone settings????? Just simply spend a few $ and buy a iPhone rather than this and then buy the iPhone in the end anyway. Just to have 1 phone AND a pile of junk to show in the end! Wonder if it fly�s well or bounces of walls well? This is heading for the BIN!!

  • hghg

  • try learning to use the fone? if you go thru d settings menu u will see you can use any one of your tones as a msg tone! considering uve had this fone a while you dont seem to no how to use it!

  • HELP!!! i just gt the phone yest.but when i want exchange by sim card it can not be open again(maybe hard to be open). anyone can help me??? is tat any way the i can open it easily??

  • pretty good, i recharge every 3ish days, use the phone quite heavy, listen to radio to and from work (approx 2.5hours a day). 8.5/10

  • had this phone for 6ish months,unfortunately i still have 12months left on my contract! Its a cheap touch screen phone, if you have adult size hands then using the keypad impossible to use, BUT the most irritating thing is you contstantly hanging up using your ear! if you hold the phone to close to your ear when talking your ear makes contact with the hangup button, if you happen to have slightly larger ears than mine, then this problem must be even worse. The camera is also shocking, and why have you only got 4 message tones and you are unable to add any new ones, i now share a message tone with 25% of the UK which is rather annoying when on train/bus or in the pub! role on 2010 when i can get an iphone!

  • battery life please....thanks in advance

  • f 490 or f 480 ?

  • well it is really a nice phone like a digital camera and phone in one plus the touchscreen until i encounter problems with after 3 months of usage there is a problem with the earpiece were the other line cannot hear me so they have to replace it and waited for a month because they are still waiting for the ordered parts then after 6 months of usage the phone turns off by itself, cannot read sim card, and poor battery performance. went to the service center and told me that they have to replaced the mother board. cant keep up with the repairs dont buy this phone better get a nokia it has a better camera and a value for your money. Anyway my sister has a samsung u700 and the flex fails after 3 months.

  • i cant ring out i can only go thru the menu and it always says no sim i put my sim in and still dont go.any thoughts

  • I did have had this phone for around one year and it is excellent in audio quality, The construction of the phone is sound and no sharp edges etc. The phones battery was still going strong but i put this down to a full charge when bought new so this makes the battery last longer in normal use. The screen is clear and is fit for purpose The phone i think will be still going but i have no way of knowing as a thieving Muslim asylum seeker mugged me on the way home on the tube . I recommend this phone and the only drawback is the thieving Muslim asylum seekers as they are attracted to the TOCO like flys around a camels arse.

  • please can somebody help. just bought the f480 and was updating my phonebook all of a sudden everything was lost all phonebook entries disappeared. started putting them back but shows ''empty'' all the time. did I press something wrong. please help

  • No Wireless....This is mission failed....

  • hi i hope somebody can help me i just bought an 8gb microSDHC for my phone and im not sure if it is compatible with the phone. is there a difference between microSD and microSDHC type of memory card?

  • Which is better F480 or Samsung Star?

  • Must go for XM 5800. Read my detailed opinion about F480 below.

  • XM 5800 is better choice then Samsung F480. It havn't Wi-Fi and many things.

  • i using 2 cell more nokia N 95 and nokia 6288 .ya f 480 nice cell but when a call coming at cell the sound level and vibration is to slow.many time i miss my call because i not here ring tune or not feel vibration they are to slow in max volume,i feel that the only disadvantage this cell.cell look pritty good. Sound quality good.

  • i have been using dis phone for last 6 months and i found that its camera is worst than that of 2mp camera , the application cannot be minimised , you cannot update your phone,cannot use secondary camera , no wifi , cannot install software form computer , sound quality is bit down . i would just say that its waste of money .

  • hey friend,i have to buy f480 but i am confused between f480 and nokia xm5800............can you tell me which one is good?

  • Toi parler français??

  • i hav dis cell.. n i found it good.. but d biggest problem in dis cell is.. ki. i doesn't store.. much of sms's n d quality of d camera is not soo good where as it is 5.0 mega pixel..n evn d sound system.. is very low...!!

  • Don't lie. This is one of the better phones on the market (well... it was...) with one of the better touchscreens and a stable system. If you are truly a salesman in mobile phones, I bet you might want to do a better job and listen to the real salesman over here.

  • This was my 7th phone after Nokia 2110 (1996), Samsung R220 (2001), Nokia 2600 (2005), 6610i (2005), 6280 (2006) & SE w660 (2008). I bought it in Feb 2009. I went to get an LG Cookie but the vendor convinced me to buy this. It looked very promising touch UI at that time with excellent sound quality, 5 MP camera, good looks, document reader etc. But at a closer look, I was more disappointed. I have detailed out my disappointment point wise below. Any body looking for this mobile must read my opinion. 1. Camera was the biggest disappointment. Although it has a 5 MP camera, it is not good. Image resolution is 2560 X 1920 alright, but they are not sharp enough. They look exactly same as a 2 MP image changed to a 5 MP image in a software like photoshop. Its true that any mobile camera can not compare with a digital camera any day, there was still much scope for improvement. I have also used Nokia & SE Phones & Nokia quality is best among them. 2. Downloading games/ applications is not easy. You just can not copy and open them. Officially you can just download them directly by using internet through the phone only. Some developers have developed or cracked some means by which you can download them on the phone through P. C. I and some other friends have already discussed that procedure here earlier (some 4-5 months ago). Still that procedure is very tedious and very inconvenient. Application can only be installed on phone memory. So that you have a limit of 232 MB. Card is only for songs and videos. 3. Message/ Memo/ Notes memory is very less, just about 200 letters. You can not send long messages or store large notes. 4. It does not have WLAN capabilities. 5. It has capacitive touch screen so that any kind of stylus will not work. A resistive screen allows multiple types of inputs. These are the points in which this mobile is inferior to others in competition. And these points constitute major criteria for buying a good mobile. Other wise Samsung SGH F480 touch wiz has some great features. Excellent sound quality. Very good touch UI. Good internet browsing speed. Very good factory installed touch applications. Very efficient document (doc, xls, ppt, pdf) reader. It has a strong competitor in Nokia XM 5800 in the same price group. I have also got an XM 5800. I have compared both of them thoroughly feature wise. According to me the Nokia surely looks clear winner.

  • Somebody know what is the market price for F480?TQ

  • Great phone, had it for a year now. No problems, great looks, great features :)

  • I've had this phone for the last six mths, n plus sold tons of this to customers. It's a good phone for less demanding phone user. I like it bcoz its small n cute, plus easy to operate. but the only i dont like is the sensitive keyboard, it takes me a while to get used to typing a msg without mistakes. n i always seems not able to hear my phone ring if its in my handbag compared with my LG viewty, I always able to hear my phone ring even im shopping on a busy street. but All in all this phone got good camera and generous 2G SD card, a fast response system. I believe its a value for money phone.

  • only reason u think its crap is because u sell it to the wrong people.....let me guess u work for telstra!

  • im using the model for the last dix months it has got good features its better then anything of it cost better do buy it .

  • im thinking of getin the f480 should i or shouldnt i please help ....

  • As for any mobile handset, you need to periodically update the phone software through you computer via Bluetooth, USB cable or any other way that pair them up. Thtats because if you dont , the programs and the phone itself can became increasiling slow 'till frezees. So thats not nice specially when you are in the middle of someting important.

  • I've been using my one for 4 months now and it just keeps geeting better and more fun. Sound great . MP3 in fun and sounds great too 5MP camera takes great pictures. Setbacks: no WiFi. Use your own network to browse the internet-charges apply naturally.

  • it's now a year since i've got this phone... till now it's still cool to have. though some of its parts are fading now, the glossy finish are starting to get out, i still prefer this phone. i was thinking of buying a new phone like the new chocolate but i cant, i love this phone... mistercomputer.wordpress.com

  • A good phone, but it has some flaws! Video recording is bad, and also the message typing is very hard. On the + side the photos are excellent! Very easy to get used to the touchscreen and the battery just lasts for days.... :)

  • a Xenon flash would flatten the battery in no time. in fact, Xenon is good for a regular digital camera, but on a Tocco, it'd be LED to keep the battery flattening to a reasonable rate.

  • hello every body. this phone is not good bcoz in this phone games and other softwares are not downloadable

  • If I get the phone and I want internet, do I have to pay for internet or is it with the phone?

  • sorry for a dumb question but can i install apps with this phone?

  • Worse experience ever with a mobile phone. Screen goes crazy for no reason; key pad is slow and makes texting a laborious process; clear function is the most used as touch screen picks up surrounding characters...a very disappointing unit. Functions are not intuitive and readily found. Often the phone egts into set ups that are difficult to understand why this happened and worst, takes too long to fix. Frequently, if a bucket of water was near by, I would have thrown the phone into it!!!

  • in chennai, india, it cost abt 14000 rs (INR),,,,

  • can v download more java games ,,? wat abt accelerometer sensor as in te case of nokia 5800 xpress music? with a normal use, how is the battery charge?

  • im goin to buy tis phone soon,, i need to get clarified about te battery charge in te real time usage,,,, how about te headset? itz 3.5 mm jack type or same older one?,,,,

  • dont buy phone MADE IN CHINA coz its FRUSTRATING.. aLways check where it was made.. dis phone is MADE IN KOREA the ORIGINAL MANUFATURER of SAMSUNG.. just sharing to you guyz..

  • the second cam used only for video calls texting is very easy and enjoiable also the flexibility of the use of it's screen is very nice some disadvantages are the wirless and GPS however it's price is suitable by comparing it with i-phone or HTC

  • well i've used F480 for two days now, i'm loving it. but i will really like to know how to use the second camara ? a job well done samsung

  • The texting on the samsung F480 is really goood. You just have a big box with all the symobols in and touch the ones on the touch screen. Its so easy!

  • it is the worst phone i have ever bought in my life hence the reason it is in a million pieces! at first it presses its own buttons escaping, random keys ect. and then refused to work altogether how do you have a touch phone when the touch doesnt work. do your homework before you think about buying! cheers

  • I have used this phone for about 6 mths. So far no problems. This phone suit student's taste very well! Student might consider getting this!

  • This indeed seems to ba one SEXY piece in a million

  • no its a flash UI

  • How is texting off this phone? Easy, complex, fustrating, easy to navigate, etc?

  • can anyone to help me to use the second camera?

  • can anyone please help me..is there an app for our phone that we can go internet for free?since f480 doesnt have a wifi..thought of putting an internet application instead..

  • really nice phone, touch screen is a bit sensitive but you get use to it pretty quickly, typing an sms also takes some getting use to videos are brilliant, phones quick to understand and it even has "fake calls" very decent phone

  • is there an option to copy the contacts from SIM to the phone memory in F480..? I cant find it..

  • How do you create or change short cuts And is there any macromode in camera for close ups

  • now,It's 14,400 - 14,500Php (Philippines).very reasonable price huh:)

  • Is it wifi ready???

  • I am loving the phone... the only problem I really have is the font of text messages... and the battery which only lasts for only a day and a half I guess(that's why I always have to bring my charger)... it may not have a WIFI like the Nokia 5800... but camerawise... this is better... c'mon... there's no phone that is perfect... it just depends on your needs =)

  • yeah... themes can't be changed... it only got wallpapers... but look on the brighter side... you can enjoy it's super clear camera... 5MP!!! isn't that enough? heheh... and the memory... 8GB isn't bad as well =D

  • it may not have a WIFI... but the camera is so cool!!! not all phones got what we all want... the price of f480 is very reasonable... i had it now for a month and i got no complains... ooops... my bad... i only had a complain... with the text... haha... font is just big... =D but other than that... it's so cool... i bought it for about... 16,500Php (Philippines)

  • Good phone- however I�m slightly disappointed� I�ve had it for 3 months- it often plays up and gets incredibly sluggish, it will basically freeze sometimes when I go to use it, very frustrating� Otherwise the functions and touch screen (when it�s working) are easy to operate�

  • GSM Arena has been my favorite website for years why not writing my opinion inside it! I have bough a Samsung f480-SGH for my wife recently (August 2009), the touch screen and nice design is flashy and gave her a very good feelings for a new phone but after some time, you will notice two very big problems with this phone, The first one is Java support, installation of Java files and games is so complicated and hard. Besides, when you load Java programs like dictionaries which have keyboard utility inside them, you will end up with tiny keyboard you can't punch on! If you are going to use so many java programs and games i really won't recommend this phone, The second problem is battery, when you really need your mobile, you will notice you are running out of battery soon. but honestly the design and touch screen is extremely beautiful.

  • The best phone i've ever had. Not planning to upgrade in 2 years time, I am keeping this phone!! Absolutely awesome!!

  • please help me i cant view my downloaded video its mpeg,it only show to my phone f-480 was unsupported.tnx

  • Hi Zack believe you need a new battery my battery last over 1week.

  • Hi Karen I have purchased the phone I think it is great. While it is in resting you cannot see time or date. But when you recieve a message your phone will make a noise to say there is a message then you have to wake it up to view the message. The phone is great but you have to be careful it is very sensitive. good luck I hope you enjoy as much as I do.

  • I bought it, and the phone is very nice

  • the phone is good.. its a user-friendly.. but the battery is very poor... everyday i have to charge my cell phone.. even if im not using. ive got F480i color pink.

  • Well I went out and purchased a 4GB SDHC memory card but in Kingston brand because that was all the tech store had brand wise. Guess what? Same problem. The card opens up and everything, but when i try to move or copy stuff from the phone to the memory card a pop up window appears saying "no entry". This is so frustrating. I even went to the store where I purchased my phone and they don't even seem to have a clue!!!

  • the memory card i purchased says 8GB SDC. So I shall pay attention now for one which says SDHC. Didn't know that their were all these fine details in memory cards also. Thanks.

  • try uploading it to your PC and you'll see why it's 5MP, dumbo. The reason why it appeared pixelated on your phone screen is because the file is too large that it comes out cannibalized. Try to zoom it out. Just try, dumbo.

  • The photos taken are pixelated and not sharp. doesn't look like 5mp, in fact worst than 2mp. I have updated the firmware few times but only can see very slight improvement. anyone has solution regards to the camera quality ?

  • where to download its games and how to insall

  • answers for bestman question:- check ur memory card, 8GB SD or 8GB SDHC. F480 ONLY read SDHC memory card (4GB & 8GB). - instead of Kingston brand, u should try Sandisk brand. pls reply, if u still facing the same problem.

  • i've got one and just does fine. You can use the internet, search, send instant messages to yahoo, msn , etc. it has nice little widgets that can be updated throug out the day depending on your settings. it is always wise to have an internet package to use it all. check with your network provider.

  • In reply to the person asking about the 8GB memory card. I got a MircoSD 8GD memory card and it worked fine. Maybe the memory card or mobile is faulty - it's best seeing about it. Morgan xx

  • Does anybody know how I can count the number of SMS that were send? I frequently pass the limit and have to pay a lot extra to my phone provider.

  • Hey can someone tell me why it is the spec sheet says up to 8GB upgradable memory card and when I purchased a kingston 8GB transflash micro card SD the phone says "cannot allow" when I try to access the memory card? And I know the problem isn't the card I bought because it works fine on my digital camera.

  • does this phone have korean language interface?

  • how can i update farmware?

  • i like this samsung but i see that it doesn't have GPS. Is it possible to download an application for GPS to install or something?

  • If there's no Qwerty on the F480, how will you be able to send messages? Sometimes you need to browse on the unit, Like the cons they said about the Samsung g800, they said the camera sucks during night but it's not true.. you just have to adjust the ISO from 100 to 300 or 400 for a clearer image taken @ night or even on dark areas.

  • hmmm, expensive texts are not the phone's fault, it's your network provider! My bluetooth and email work fine too!

  • Want to buy the phone but havent had a Samsung before. Can you tell me whether you are able to attach an MP3 file as a message tone and if so does the alert play for the full length of the song or until message is viewed.

  • yep, current price is 15,300 in Samsung Store in MOA, you should buy direct in samsung and not in other stores, other store prices are about 17-19k. I have just buy my phone a month ago and its really very good! I have also downloaded a lot of games. Which is very nic!

  • i saw my friend with this phone and wanted to purchase it. it looks cool. the video quality is damn good not to mention the picture quality. the thing is, i'm afraid to purchase it due to the fact that its a straight touch screen. what will i do if it malfunctions where the touching capabilties are concerned. i'm willing to give it a try though. tell me something, where can i get it for 15,000 or 17,000? U were jus joking about the price right? hey give me a call urgent -1-876-843-1185.

  • iam using these phone but i dont know how to install the games and which games are supported by it so plese trell me information about it

  • I've got my one a couple months ago and it has gone to the repairer due to a software update. Before, it would upload constantly without going to the main menu, non-stop. It is back now up and running. A very good and interactive phone , easy to use althoug. No it does not have WiFi, so what, get a internet pack from your service provider for as little as $1.00 and send and recieve and do light browsing, mpbile phones are not to be used more than 30 min on the net.

  • how to install a game/s for this samsung f480 using usb? what will you do in order that .jar files will be supported by the phone without downloading? anyone?

  • What do you mean by unlock (e.g. SIM/Provider)? Be specific so we know how to help you...

  • Iv had the f480 for 2 weeks now and i think its a superb phone. At first i was sceptical about buying a touchscreen phone, and a samsung on top of it since they do give problems. But iv really adapted to the touchscreen. Its super sensitive and the keypad gives you enough room to type and dial without making too many mistakes in the beginning. I highly recommend this phone to anyone looking to buy a decent touchscreen phone.

  • i like it but i hate it couse dont have WLAN

  • price of Samsung F480 is 15000 to 17000.Prices are subject to change due to fluctuating market conditions.

  • superb mobile ..i just click a snap of solar eclipse and it was just awesome ..the image is really superb ..thanks Samsung

  • Hoooo Yes! big phone

  • best fone in the world!!!

  • In recent samsung cells there is an option to zoom in or zoom out by pressing a finger on the screen for a while. Then two icons appear- a plus sign on the upper part of the screen & a minus sign on the lower part of the screen. Sweeping the finger towards the plus sign would zoom in & vice versa. Is this option present in F480? Reply please.

  • best comment ever to give

  • The Best best best best Touch Screen Ever mad in the World

  • price? how much?

  • what is the price ?

  • i am going to be buying this phone this week for sure...

  • I love this fone. It takes sometime to get use to touch txting but after a while its easy. I would like the option to turn on the "key" noise thought. An owner only has the option of beep or xylophone noises and sometimes I don't want any noise at all. But apart from that - I am seriously thinking of buying a second one. And no - I don't work for Samsung.

  • yup, no stylus

  • what do you mean?? do you use finger in order to function it???

  • Great phone, only problems is mp3 when playing all songs includes ringtones and when changing songs the touch screen can be a lil annoying.

  • i'm pLanning to buy this one but i dont know the original price.. can anyone tell me how much is this??? it is advisable??

  • This one one of the cheapest touchscreen phone ever. I was kinda disappointed when it doesn't come with stylus and it doesn't support wlan. But when I was glad that I bought it. Not laggy, no problems. it doens't kick up any fuss. But its recommend to buy screen protector. And it is the easier phone to use ever I will reccomment this to people who wants to try touchscreen phone for the 1st time and is on low budget.

  • i think i'm gonna buy this phone this weekend bading form the website, i think i like this phone

  • the best touchscreen-without stylus phone i ever had. with super clear 5 megapixel camera.

  • i just bought the F 480 and i think its g8 :):)

  • My f480 lags when everytime i plug the phone for charge.Basically its very slow to toogle the phone when its on change.Does anybody know what is the problem with my phone?

  • why??? i think its good to have this one..

  • I highly recommend this. I've been using this phone for over six months now and haven't encountered a single problem. Not a single one. It's extremely easy to use and the touch screen is remarkable. Although i do recommend getting a scratch cover for the screen. Screen scratches easily.

  • the butery of the phone is really great. It works for 3 days and more (when use it hard). But there are no games (programs) for this phone - OS is different. if u want games so much, u will have to flash the phone.

  • Hi everybody. Please can anybody say to me what`s the auricular for the phones samsung f 480 and s 7330 soul? Please i really need to know. Thank you very much.

  • i do not recomend this phone
