The Samsung F490 follows a trend that we welcome - touch-based user interface and a 5 megapixel autofocus camera. Add a widescreen 3.2" TFT display and a slim profile, and it already sounds like a juicy deal. We've already reviewed the Samsung Armani phone - that was based on the same Touch UI. However the Samsung F490 seems like the most mature Touch product of them all avoiding most of the mishaps of the previous products. So, buckle up as we test drive this baby in the GSMArena fast lane.

One of the most impressive features in terms of design in the F490 is the large Touch screen. The touch screen is replete with many touch controls that facilitate good user friendly experience. The rather lightweight and compact design makes for a good firm grip on the phone.
