The 130 MB internal memory will be enough for a time, but sooner or later we must apply for expansion. The microSD card can be inserted, after taking off the back of the phone, under the SIM card, but fortunately this doesn’t have to be taken out for this operation, so we can change the microSD without turning off the device.
The 5 megapixel resolution of the camera is a serious feature – theoretically. The pictures taken by me were just simply not really high quality ones, but in case of Samsung phones, usually good results are achieved. The photos were under-exposed a bit, although I took them in sunny weather. The other problem was that they are quite noisy and, moreover, the autofocus doesn’t really have a high performance if we are taking close pictures. The built-in flash is only a LED-based one, although it counts as a strong source of light amongst similar ones.

The list of options available when using the camera, specifically for the manufacturer, is quite long, there is automatic exposure, image sequence, different environmental settings, alterable white balance, brightness, picture quality and ISO value. Exposure is fast, but only if the focus has been already set. The handset is capable of recording videos at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, our Dear Readers shall find an example for this here.
The music player works just like in the F700. An exceptionally huge cross is drawn, whose vertical stem can be pushed to set the volume, while its horizontal part can be dragged to seek in the music. When on loudspeaker, the F490 has a surprisingly good sound quality, but the best is with a headset, exceptionally when we use the standard input with a high-quality headphone instead of the factory one. The software sorts music by ID3 tags, the player runs in the background, playlists can of course be created. In terms of video playback avi and mpg are not supported, the machine handles 3gp format, in this case it switches to landscape view.
For document handling the platform is supported by Access; pdf, xls and doc files can be displayed without problem, it’s fast enough, the documents can be zoomed, although it is a pity that in this case the screen cannot be rotated. In the list of games there is only a puzzle, its absolutely boring.
