Samsung F490 and P720 Touchscreen Phones Get Video'd

Two upcoming Samsung phones, the F490 and P720, were unveiled at some press event in the Ukraine a little while ago. Thanks to the magic of video and the internet, you can now see the phones in action as fondled by some press dude who was lucky enough to attend the event. Watch as he manhandles the phones in a way that would make you punch him in the face if that were your sister, and not a phone he was grubbing over. As for the phones, they're quite nice, and look similar to the F700/U940 we're getting on Verizon soon. [Unwired View]

Multicolor numbers when dialing? Why? Anyway, I like the P700 the most.

@Kaiser-Machead: i have another samsung, and when you are dialing it does them in different colours, and a feather pen draws the numbers, I always wondered "why?"

@prodigal_son: You do know you can go to settings and change this, right? I leave my Samsung phone in this setting because it makes it easier to tell if I'm dialing the right number, but you can change it to monochrome through the settings.

@yogibimbi:
it's a dual sim (workin the same time that's why you see the text during the boot DUOS) and the other one should be for the microSD (inside? DUH! bad choice)

The Samsung P720 will be based on the Samsung Armani model, however it will offer DualSIM functionality. The handset will have a QVGA touch sensitive display and a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera - much the same as the original Samsung P520 Armani. The Samsung P720 will be targeted at the Eastern Europe and Asian markets

Oh I like that second one.

It might be down to that against the VX10000 when the time comes.
