Data transfer, battery
The little gadget supports GPRS, EDGE, UMTS and 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA technologies. It has an Access Netfront browser, which is unfortunately far from being perfect. When I set it to full width view it shows the pages correctly, but I need to stroke the screen with my fingers to see everything, while if I set it to break the page by screen width, it crashes. All signs show that it just can’t handle pictures wider than 240 pixels, while Flash is also an unknown thing for him.
There is, however, an RSS reader, which is very welcome. At local level we have stereo Bluetooth support and USB, both of version 2.0. There were no problems with these, they have been working perfectly. It’s really surprising that I could use the phone with the battery, so for this it gets an extra point, and it’s value is even greater, since Samsung phones rarely receive bonuses for such things as uptime.
On the whole I can say that F480 is another step from the manufacturer on the road that leads to accepted and usable button-less phones. It’s a small step, good ideas, incomprehensible flaws, and perfect feel of quality. You could have seen on the video that this touch-controlled interface is far from perfect, even if such half-witted, button-preferring testers are using it like me. At F490’s YouTube video a couple of users told me off for being too lame for this user interface, which might be true, but I don’t think that one should make a GUI that needs days (in my case it’s weeks) of learning.
Although the last paragraph is a bit critical, I still think that more patient people can live together with F480, even more if they don’t write too much messages. I can hardly wait the first multi-touch user interface that has something else then an Apple logo on it, and until then we have these half-solutions. Still, F480 is worthy of this:
