The luxury phone arena has been expanding, with the latest being the touch screen models. Jumping into the race is Samsung F480 TouchWiz, with its fantastic looks and great features. With its 5.0 megapixel camera and multimedia services, it calls for all the answers to consumer needs, in a single phone. The camera influx with an ‘Auto Smile Mode’ is the perfect answer for a digital camera meted into a phone. Its innovative ‘Drag n Drop’ feature allows the widgets to be selected from the left panel of the screen and dropped anywhere on the home screen. The mobile phone also accompanies a full touch navigation feature, which makes it user friendly.
Design
The sleek and stylish Samsung F480 TouchWiz, with its advanced functionality, is the perfect answer for people who vouch for touch screen phones. The mobilephone is extremely user friendly and light weight. The dimensions of the phone are 98.4 x 55 x 11.6 mm and it weighs a meager 100.6 gm. The cell phone is presently available only in black color. Samsung F480 faces tough competition from its own brand phones only.
