Trully a dreadful phone. Touchscreen is nowhere near responsive enough, camera (although 5MP) is aweful, MP3 player not comparable to any Sony Ericsson and battery life is pathetic.
If you're thinking of buying this phone, I strongly recommend the F480, a better, newer model and it is also cheaper.

                  essdee, 17 Jul 2008does this phone have the little pen thing (stylus?)Yes the phone has a stylus! although the screen is responsive to the users finger. The camera though is not that good, takes a while to snap, by which time the subject may of moved on! Web browsing is sometimes laboursome, but apart from that a nice phone

                        Internet Browsing is way slower than I was expecting - disappointing.

                        Other than that, no problems at all, its great. If you want an F490 to browse the internet with, get an iPhone. If you want an F490 to take quality pics on to do all the otehr stuff that a phone is supposed to do, you wont be dissapointed!

                                  I don't think it is, but someone is telling me that it is )=
