Question
what's the difference between samsung f480 and samsung f480i??? which one is better and why?? need advice to decide which one to buy !! tnxxx  

Answer
If you live in the US, do NOT buy the F480i. This version is not US-friendly. It doesn't work on the US bands. The F480 works anywhere in the world, basically and also even works on the high speed network in both the US and abroad. If your carrier is T-Mobile or AT&T in the US, this device will work for you. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks. DebiN
