Samsung F490 priced at 400 EUR, shipping this month
It seems that Samsung finally has most of the kicks worked out of it’s high end Croix Touch Interface phones, and we won’t have to wait half a year for the newly announced handset to hit the market.
Like we did with Samsung F700.
First leaked at the end of last year, then officially announced in the beginning of this one, Samsung F490 is almost ready to hit the stores.
Samsung’s Russian office has updated their press release, which now says that Samsung F490 will start shipping in Russia in February.
It’s only logical that it should be launched in other markets around this time too.
