The good: Compact size; solid build; cool widgets interface; HSDPA; Bluetooth stereo; microSD expansion card slot.

The bad: Vulnerable to fingerprints; software can be improved; lacks Wi-Fi.

The bottom line: The F480 is a stylish touchscreen handset with a wealth of features, but its user interface could do with a little improvement.
