Finally my 18 months with my N95 has come to an end and I’ve finally been able to upgrade my phone to something a little snazzier 🙂

What phone have I decided to upgrade to ?  well after much thought and deliberation I’ve decided to go for the Samsung SGH-F480V, a rather natty little phone with touch screen technology

Picked it up last night from the Vodafone shop in the Trafford centre, though I spent about 2 hrs deciding whether to get this phone or get the HTC Touch Diamond, I liked the HTC phone a lot, but found it just a little bit to fiddly to use, especially for someone with sausage fingers like my own.

So what do you get for your money with the F480V then well here’s here’s some of the specs for it

• 2.8″ touch screen
• Intuitive navigation
• 5.0 Megapixel camera
• Autofocus, image stabilisation and LED flash
• MP3 Music player
• 3G HSDPA connection
• Dimensions: 96 x 55 x 12mm Weight: 91g
• Standby time: 250 hours
• Talk time: 3 hours

As well as the above it has a very easy to use touch-screen interface which after a few minutes use is easy to navigate, it also has on its main screen widgets similar to those found in Mac OSX, there’s a music widget so you can start playing tunes straight away without having to find your way through the menu, there’s a photo widget which allows you to change your desktop/screen-saver to another picture with 2 easy taps of the screen, there’s even a birthday widget which as long as you have your contacts birthdays listed in your calendar will remind you when the time to buy a present is, something that will greatly assist me in keeping on the good side of Mel and a few friends.

So all in all I think its a pretty decent phone, though I’m yet to test its connectivity with my Apple Macs, something I’ll be trying later today.

Oh I just love getting new gadgets  🙂
