Click here to find out why the Samsung F400 claimed the award for Best Music Phone at the annual Mobile Choice Consumer Awards.
The dual sliding mechanism adds a novelty value to the F400, and its movement is both fluid and secure. The glossy black fascia complements the clean metal body.
With a slide-up speaker boasting Bang & Olufsen ICEpower audio technology, two headphone ports and HSDPA connectivity, the F400 also has room for a three-megapixel camera.
The turn-wheel proves to be a very useful navigational tool, and the menu interface is a cinch to master. However, the video call, cancel and menu shortcut keys interfere when using the keypad.
Music wise, the F400 can hold its head up high in the music phone market. Unfortunately the overall performance is let down by a poor camera.
Despite boasting a huge standby time of 620 hours, the talktime scores badly at only 270 hours.
Pros: With Bang & Olufsen lending its ICEpower audio technology to the F400, the audio experience is of the utmost quality.
Cons: The three-megapixel camera produces nothing more than average pics.
