You may be thinking that any touch screen mobile that is available for £40 must be cheap and tacky! And to be honest that’s exactly what I thought before I got my hands on one. Once I did I quickly realised that Vodafone have got not just a cheaply priced touch screen handset, but also one with features that aren’t usually available on handsets at this price.

Currently available in pink and black the “541 Touch “or VF541 which it is also known as, has a remarkably responsive 2.4-inch QVGA colour touch screen, making navigation and general usage of the handset extremely easy. However, apart from the basic features that you would expect on 90% of handsets these days the 541 has built in radio with RDS, Bluetooth and usb connectivity for which both make sharing your favourite images and music with your friends a synch.

Before I purchase a handset I like to play around with it and explore the menu system, which with the 541 isn’t over complicated but I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered a little gem of a feature called home screen widgets. This truly thought full feature allows you to at the touch of a finger access your favourite content and swap and change it as you see fit, this feature I liked a lot it gives the handset character.

Again for the price usually you would expect the 541 to be rather a standard looking model but Vodafone seem to have put some real effort into producing an handset that not only has features to compete with handsets at near twice the price but also one that has the looks to compete at any level.

A quick round up of some of the features that make this handset remarkable for the price include, MicroSD memory card slot maximum 4GB supported, embedded images and animations, Accelerometer, Home screen Widgets and a 2.4” Touch screen.
