In the spirit of famed touch-phones such as the Apple iPhone and LG Prada comes Samsung's latest: the F490. At 11.9 mm, it's thin, but manages to pack an good array of features into that slim body.

The camera is a solid 5 megapixel shooter complete with autofocus (all the rage these days) and flash, but video recording is a little lackluster: QVGA quality at 15 fps.



Still, there's support for HSDPA 2100, microSD expandable memory (130 MB onboard), Bluetooth 2.0 (A2DP supported), and of course, that touch-screen.



The best part of the Samsung F490, however, might just be the battery: even with a tiny 880 mAh capacity, it still manages to crank out (up to) 6 hours of talk time.



But on a phone like this (and at this price point!), we'd like to see an actual OS, GPS, and WLAN.
