The latest phone to land on Vodafone's network in the UK is the Samsung SGH-F490. The F490 was originally introduced back in January of this year and looks very similar to Samsung's recently announced M800 Instinct for Sprint in the U.S.

The Samsung SGH-F490 is a touchscreen device with a large 3.2" display with support for 262k colors. The design, similar to that of the LG Prada, does away with a keyboard and offers the company's Croix user interface, which is optimized for finger control. The F490 comes with a built-in 5 megapixel camera, video capture and playback, a music player, and A2DP Bluetooth stereo support.

The SGH-F490 is a 3G capable phone that offers UMTS/HSDPA connectivity as well as GSM/EDGE. The Samsung F490 is available now online at Vodafone.
