We take a look at Samsung's improved touch interface on the Samsung F480. Is it better than their holy "Croix" design?

 The Samsung SGH-F480 may be the unsung hero of Samsung's showing at Mobile World Congress, thanks to the TouchWiz UI that we loved to play with. The UI has some nice visual effects, reminiscent of another popular touch phone. It also makes nice use of widgets. We had fun loading widgets onto the home screen, then dragging them around with our fingers. Though it looks like a small, cute phone, like a consumer version of the Armani phone, don't let it's size fool you. It packs a 5-megapixel camera, fast HSDPA and haptic feedback for a nice, touching sensation. Overall, a very likable phone. Release: June 2008.
Pros: TouchWiz UI is fun to use, has some neat effects. Widgets could be useful, worked well. Lots of power.
Cons: Texting won't be easy on such a small touchscreen. No U.S. 3G bands.
