Basic functions
The capacity of the phonebook is 1000 names. We can record many types of additional information (first name, last name, additional phone numbers, email, note, picture, ringtone), there is nothing extra in this. Listing is quick, search works by touching the text box in the top and we type a few characters with the help of the virtual keyboard. Scrolling amongst the hits works quite well, I didn’t really have problems with it.
Message handling works with the usual options, the most sensitive part here is text entry. This works with the help of a virtual mobile keypad and finally the F490 includes shake-feedbacks in this situation too and, moreover, it is smart, because in this case the phone uses much smaller shakes, which is not disturbing, but perceptible. I don’t say that it’s the best fun in the world entering text through this interface, but it’s much better than it was in the F700 – in case we don’t take the QWERTY into account. There is an email client, it can handle attachments. The internal memory is 130 MB large, all applications share this, there is a separated space for the maximum of 500 text messages.
Amongst organizer functions we find a huge calendar, which works in month and week views. Entries can fall into five categories, like: meeting, anniversary, day off, important and private. These have a maximum amount of 100, 50-50 and 20-20 in this order. The world clock has only a list view. On such a screen? It’s a waste. The alarm clock has the usual functions, it works just well.
There are profiles included with the phone. These have at last some really complex options regarding sound effects. The phone can ring and vibrate at the same time; moreover these two can be combined in a way that besides vibration a ringing of increasing intensity can be heard. Message sound can be configures separately, finally we cannot chose only from factory effects, but we can use any file for this purpose.
