I am using this phone for last 3 months. Main pros & cons according to me are as follows:
Pros:
Great Looks
3G, EDGE, HSDPA
Excellent sound quality (through head phones)
Easy touch dialing
Good touch UI
Document viewer
Good browser
220 MB phone memory
cons:
though 5MP with auto focus & all other feature is the biggest disappointment. My older Nokia 6280 with 2MP is better both for still & video.
No Wi-fi/ GPS
No qwerty key board
No auto rotation feature
No downloading of third party application supported through PC. Application can only be downloaded by using web on the phone. Once downloaded they are saved in phone memory & can not be moved.
I am thinking of changing my phone. If only somehow camera performance improves, I shall let do with other disadvantages. But how to improve it?

the pc suite messaging feature does not work at all for me.
absolute rubbish phone and now i'm locked into a 24 month contract.
why dont mobile phone shops have a try before you buy service.

I am tossing up between the Samsung F480 and the LG KC910 (Renoir) Both appear to be great phones on paper but unfortunately both have had mixed reviews and mixed comments from users. Please give me an honest opinion or response as to which one i am better off to choose. All i really need in the phone is a good speakerphone, so all these other aspects are just bonuses for me but if i am spending the money on either of these i want it to be worth my while! Cheers

this is n awsum fone i have ever seen within the price range of 20000
yeah omnia is much much better then this one but the price tag makes a big diff too omnia is around 7k costly then f480
the best thing about this fone i like is its outlook,its__its just simply most beautiful hndset i have ever seen
omnia leads the competition bcoz it doesnt have
ne wi-fi ,
ne 3.5mm headjack,
3.2 inches screen,
video capture not that efficient,
widgets r limited,no real player,
