It seems the stylish QWERTY slider the Samsung F700 isn’t enough to keep Vodafone happy, they wanted more and so Samsung stepped up to the plate and gave them more; they gave Vodafone the Samsung F490 handset, which is almost an F700 but minus the keyboard.

The Samsung F490 does incorporate a better standard camera at 5 megapixels along with the standard pack of mobile goodies one expects such as, Croix UI, HSDPA, stereo Bluetooth, and microSD slot. Vodafone offers the Samsung F490 free with a £30.00 monthly contract with a 50% discount for the first three months, which means £15.00 for 3 months, got to be a good deal.
