Don't buy it 
Terrible terrible phone,the main reason i chose this as my upgrade over the nokia 5800 as it had a 5mp camera where as the nokia is only 3.2. The camera is really awful- slow and not very clear. I'm sending mine back not just because of the camera but because it is a bad phone. It is an extremely basic phone with barely any functions. The signal is terrible, 1 bar at best ( I've always had great signal on orange wherever I go until this phone) The calls are constantly cutting out, writing a text message has become an extremely stressful event and i've completely given up on it now. The music player is terrible, very quiet and doesnt recognise some of my music and wont show me half of the images that i have on my memeory card. All in all the worst phone I have ever had and that is including the last one which half the buttons completely stopped working after 6 months. I would really urge you to think twice before choosing this phone.

Don't buy it The F480 falls short completely on organiser functions: you can add no more than 100 entries in the agenda. The maximum number of notes is limited to 20. You're not allowed to have more than 1000 contacts. This makes the phone completely useless as a PDA.
The rest of the apparatus is great. So if you want a sexy multimedia phone that makes good quality photo's and nothing more, buy it.

I WANT ONE!! 
I have had mine for 3months noand i can definatly say one of the best phones i have ever had, it did take a few days to get used to the touch screen, but i suppose you would all imagine that anyways.
I was apprehensive after having the terricle lg chocolate, but the touch screen on this is so easy to use and very precise in what and where you want to go and do.
The look of the phone is amazing, very slim, chic and sexy and fits in my tiny hands very well.
The camera is too of very good quality, unlike most camera phones, with the built in flash, pictures taken in the dead of the night are still cearly visable.
I actually use mine as a modem to connect to the internet and thats where the HSDPA facility comes in great. I use it every three to four days for approx hour and half, And i can say i have never once charged it since purchasing. (connecting it to the internet charges it for me, i mean never charged via the mains adaptor)
So i personnaly feel the battery life is out of this world.
I totally recommend this phone to anyone considering it. I know that getting this phone via an upgrade through t-mobile direct gives you a 14 day trial, so if unsure check to see if network does the same, But i promise you will not be dissapointed.
