Looks like the folks at Samsung woke up on the right side of the bed this morning, and decided to gift us all with the SGH-F490. This handsome prada-esque set features full screen browsing on its 3.2 inch screen in both landscape and portrait mode, 5 mega pixel camera, 3.5 mm audio jack, 130 MB of internal storage, and memory expansion via microSD. The disappointing bit is that we're only getting tri-band GSM / EDGE and HSDPA in the European 2100 MHz band. Price is set for about €530 (roughly $780) and is expected to ship in February.
so close yet so far... Guess I'll FINALLY be getting that iphone (2.0)
It's a toy. Sad but true.
When the real workhorses finally get released, let us know.
Who cares about workhorses.
I'd rather read about the 350Z than the Sentra, thanks.
euro hsdpa... *sighs*
why are they going to remove the 5mp camera? it would be an awesome bit of kit if they keep it.
No US 3G Frequencies?!? FAIL.
No WiFi?
No 3G?
No Quad-band GSM?
$780?!?!
forget it!
I'm gonna ask what I ask everytime I come across a phone - how thin is it? Is it anywhere as thin as my 10.9mm U600?
Edit: Just read it on IntoMobile - the dimensions of the F490 are 115mm x 53.5mm x 11.8mm (4.5″ x 2.1 x .5″).
Not bad. Not bad at all.
