  • is there a themes for samsung star wifi???/

  • Good day. Please check and try the following: 1.) Go to Settings > Phone Settings > PC Connections. There are 4 options, make sure that it's highlighted on "Ask on connection" or "Mass storage". 2.) It's also possible that you've a bad micro SD card. If you have an extra micro SD card that is in good condition, I suggest that you insert it to your phone and see if it will work on mass storage. 3.) If none of the above doesn't work, your last option is to buy a Memory Card Reader. It's cheap, it will only cost a dollar or so. Good luck!

  • Hello , my Samsung s5230w can't connect thru mass storage please help me .. thanks in advance

  • U can buy but less compare to android

  • I prefer you buy a smartphone

  • I recommend that you read and watch reviews about Samsung Star WiFi and see if it will suit your needs. (Google & YouTube will do.)

  • i want to buy this phone plz tell me is this phone good or not

  • @fairy: It's not capable of Skype video call as it doesn't have a front camera and a 3G. @Anonymous: It doesn't have an Operating System (No, Android or whatsoever.) and it's not a dual sim.

  • is this set support skype video calling

  • andriod b xa? dual sim?

  • No, the case is not changeable. So, if you will buy one make sure that it's the right color for you.

  • Can anyone tell me if this phones case is changeable?

  • this phone is awesome.....

  • does someone know where to watch video streaming sites that is working for star? YouTube is working but im getting tired of it. tnx!

  • it is not a perfect or most great at his price. but i have one by 5 months ago..and im satisfied

  • This is better than iPhone 3g at least...

  • My Samsung Star Wi-Fi will be 2 years old on July 24, 2012 and I have no problems with it. It�s light & slim, comfortable in the hands; I just recently bought a mesh case in replace of the jelly case and it feels more comfortable. The Sound, Image & Video quality were fine. I use Opera Mini (full screen) as my browser and I�m enjoying it. I have a lot of games too, and it�s nice. I was able to load the default black theme as well without changing the firmware. On the other note, using the Wi-Fi or games drains the energy of the battery rapidly. In my experience, I�ve played a game for two and a half hours with a full bar, and when I checked the battery meter there were only two bars left. The touch experience on this phone is neither easy nor hard; it�s in between and for me its okay, I got used to it. Overall, this phone is good!

  • it is not touch screen or even push screen but SMASH SCREEN... so hard to work in it, so many errors exist the time i first use it... they must configure this "wifi gadget" to satisfy the needs of the customers...

  • Please answer these questions and I might be of help, thank you. 1.) Is the WiFi working on other devices? (Ex: Another phone or laptop with WiFi capability) 2.) What was the last thing you did before you lose your WiFi connection on your Samsung Star.

  • I cannot connect to wifi...alwayd rejected the connection...why

  • is t touch screen or push screen??

  • nice and good

  • I want to restore my factory setting of my mobile but i forgot the password........... would u plz help me???

  • can I upload whatsapp on it??

  • How can i remove rejected number on this phone?

  • hello there. is there a setting on cammera clicker botton just like iphone touch camera cliker? coz my camera cliker is hard to press. help pls.

  • Good day. Have you tried resetting your phone back to its factory settings? You can also update to the latest software from their official website and see if it will work. If you have already done the above steps but nothing has worked to fix the problem, I suggest that you send back your phone if it's still under warranty or have it repaired. (I have the same phone as yours, but I haven't encountered any problems with it for over a year. I didn't dare to install unofficial themes and I never drop it since the beginning of time.)

  • i have a problem with my S5230W star wifi phone.. whenever my inbox is empty if someone texted me her/his message will be recevied over and over again (the same message) .. like 50times.. it will turn back to normal if my inbox is almost full...please help..

  • nice

  • why does samsung no free wi fi?

  • how can u watch live streaming?

  • why i cant dowload on youtube video? is there a softwear that i have 2 download?

  • i like it so much

  • i love this phone features....

  • this phone is good, but the sensor is not so

  • This cellphone is great.. i can watch youtube even in online streaming.. i'm using almost 1 1/2 years and still working perfectly..

  • this phone is not good at all.this is the second time i'm replacing my touchscreen with a new one.

  • I've been using this phone for around 1 and a half years. It's really really good. It's a little bit slow and enervating sometimes but it's still a great phone. The camera is not that bad. It has some problems with the low-light conditions, but it's usable anyways. Connecting to the wi-fi networks is pretty easy. Don't be disappointed when you use it for the first time, because you will need to get used to it and that's really important. One thing that i don't like on this phone is the back cover which may just fall after around 6 months of use. So i've got a case for it. The speaker is great. The touchscreen keyboard is absolutely fascinating, I like it, a lot. The phone may be very very slow when scrolling through images. And the pre-installed web browser is not perfect for loading standard Desktop sites, so i recommend the UC-Browser 8. The fact that it supports the YouTube player is making me happy also. The video and the audio quality are acceptable. The durability of this phone is pretty good more-over you own a case for it. But if you don't, when the phone will fall down, the battery will fly out and it's not good at all. The signal strength is not that bad, but it depends on your carrier. The Memory card is place in an uncomfortable position. Before you can remove it you need to take the battery out. And that is just a waste of time. Facebook Chat is also supported by downloading the Ebuddy app from "getjar.com". Skype texting is also supported by this phone. You can download it also from "getjar.com". All the apps that request internet connectivity can run using a wi-fi connection. So: it's small, slim, has a good screen, sometimes enervating but it's still great, useful so it means it'll be good for you.

  • To connect your phone to a wireless network, follow the tips below: 1. Open the WiFi tab research, go to the main-menu, press "Browser", then go to the "Settings", then click on "Browser Profiles". You'll find three choices below, which are "Create | Delete | Search for Wi-Fi". Click on "Search for Wi-fi". 2. Locate your own wireless which you want to connect to and click on it. 3. It'll show you tabs to fill, its name and the Bearer type and etc., if the wireless requires a password, below you can see the "Network key" tab, write in it the password, and if it doesn't, continue without filling any information, then press Save. 4. So, you're done with it. Again go to the WiFi tab from and research, your wireless which you saved should appear with a lighter colour, it means that your phone was been supported to it. 5. Press on it and click "Connect". Without typing any password, or filling any information, your phone should connect. 6. Go on! - NOTES: 1. if it shows you sometimes "Disconnected" when you click on "Connect", turn off your phone and reboot it (without taking the battery off). 2. since you connected to a wireless network passcoded or not, you'll be able to reconnect to the same wireless without typing any password. Since it was supported, you'll always be able to the same connection without filling or typing any passwords or information, until you delete the saved connection. 3. if it takes a long time to connect, it doesn't mean that it's your phone's problem, it's the wireless signal connection or the Internet speed is very low. 4. connecting to the Internet may not connect since the first time, if you haven't succeed the first time, retry!

  • where can i get themes for this phone?

  • samsung corby2 has capacitive touchscreen.which means very easy to response and very sensitive.unlike the star with resistive touchscreen.the 2 megapixel of corby2 is better than the 3.2megapixel of star.screen resolution of corby2's better.themes of bada os are applicable for corby2.ang fyi,the battery of corby lasts up to 4days when active use while star is only 2 days in active use.corby2 is a lot better than star :)

  • i want to buy this fone but iam very confused between it and the 3850 corby2 as star has qwerty keypad,hand writing recognition&come with elegant stylus pen and accelerometer sensor and speedy sensitive wifi with longer battery life as i heard from its owners.i find corby 2 isn't better than star5230w except for larger screen (3.2 vs 3.0 for star)-i think 0.2 inches more isn't a big difference-and 3.5 audio jack. i want your advice as iam very confused and really need help.thanx for u all.

  • I've been using this phone for about 3 months. Being my first experience with touch phones, it's has not been a good experience so far, mainly due to interface problems. Putting it short: - it often happens that a touch order is not executed. The item lights up when I touch it, but nothing happens. There were times when I had to insist 4 times until it gets executed (ex: starting a connection with a Bluetooth device). - One cannot get rid of the applets that are in the way, nor can we ditch the applet bar on the left, which keeps poping up ir you're not very carefull where you touch - Too many-level, not logical system menu and main configurations not centralized. Examples: FM Radio or Voice Recorder are in Applications/; Games are inside Applicatons/Applications/ (nice, hein?); main configuration options are inside Setup/Applications - Very difficult to access options during a call, like LoudSpeaker or keyboard to insert voice mail codes. - also very cumbersome to send someone a message with a contact list entry - bad quality camera; pictures are fuzzy. - large and fragile multi-function socket on the side makes it difficult to use the phone when charging or using headphones. On the positive side, I can point out a very long batery life, which is always a good thing. No problems with wifi and main communication functions, either.

  • you probably have a wrong version of skype.. im using skype on my star wifi.. works perfectly..

  • i need to store my messages on the memory card i cant find memory card setting need help please thanks a lot..

  • This phone works perfectly!!! I've had it since june this year, no problem so far...sturdy too...Except for the wifi feature. I just can't figure this out. I use a wifi router at home and the wifi internet works excellently...but when I tried connecting to the free public wifi in the malls, specifically at Trinoma here in the Philippines, I just can't connect. Tried to reset the settings and connect-still didn't work. Could anyone please help me find the solution to this problem? Also, at home i tried using SKYPE while connected to wifi and it says "Skype is unavailable for your mobile". I guess this answers the earlier question regarding SKYPE. Haven't tried using SKYPE with WAP or GPRS though, maybe that would work.

  • yea. you can use skype with this phone..

  • no lag..

  • help i want to install a dictionary with my s5230w so i tried to find in mobile9.. problem is i dont know how to browse a dictionary that is for dis phone...

  • can i skype with dis phone?

  • is it laggy?

  • in regards to call quality, it's Good. As usual, it also depends on the available signal and if you have some reception issues with your carrier. Though, I would really recommend that you use another headset and not the default set when taking a call because somehow, its not that loud/clear.

  • Hello, Just need some opinions on the call quality of this phone (clear, average, poor). And has anyone used this in the US on the AT&T network? Thanks

  • The camera is pretty nice in well-lit areas and I really like the panorama mode. However, it's in fixed focus and there's no LED or xenon flash. The image quality in low-lit areas, especially indoors, is really poor even when using the night mode.

  • Type it in the Network Key box. I think it is case-sensitive.

  • i don't suppose it's case-sensitive, right? I may be wrong, but try it...i really haven't tried doing that myself since the PW we use are always on small case...

  • the phone is awesome

  • double check when your writing net. key..

  • I bought a phone with this model in the Philippines, and i can successfully use its WLAN/WiFi, but when an internet connection is locked or needs a network key, I can't connect. Like here in Canada, all the internet networks are locked and needs a network key. When i typed in our internet network key, I cannot still connect. What can i do and what should I do? Thank You.

  • plz tell me ..how can i increase sms memory in my samsung star...

  • yes you need to connect thru pc..

  • nope.. your firmware is for this country.. S5230WXEIL1 "XE" = Land Code/Location or Provider Code = Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine, Germany..... "I" = year code = 2009 "L" = month code = December "1" = Revision Number/Version Number = Rev.1 S5233WDXJF1 "DX" is for asia FW.. this is my current FW ""S523KXXJB1"

  • is this FW (S5230WXEIL1) for asian star wifi? hehehe i really am new on flashing and upgrading the FW stuff so i really don't know. so pardon me for asking...when flashin/upgrading, do I need to connect through my PC to do that?

  • improvements on virtual kypad layout and keyboard.. faster browsing with ver.1 browser.. the exchange activeSYNC,, syncronize.. in my last firmware (asia version) there is no activesync a nd syncronize.. + i have themes..

  • what new stuff did you get when you flashed yours? what kind of improvements did you get? am kinda interested...

  • yea your right pendukot! the iphone theme is cool...

  • there are none

  • IMO star wifi.. cause it can be modded.. i dont know much about LG.. :)

  • Hi, are there any firmware upgrades for increased message capacity. Can we view sms in threaded view. Can we create folders for messages? Which is better: LG cookie wifi or star wifi Thanks

  • then buy a high end phone. :) this phone is great for mid range! great themes aswell.. :p

  • samsung star wifi or lg km555e? thanks...

  • google it :)

  • Now this is one correct and full answer.Thanks

  • by the way, once you attempt searching for a wifi hotspot, the Wifi Icon would appear on the top bar alongside with the signal, time, profile and battery status. The icon would be colored grey if there's no available connection, it would appear blue if there are some, and once you're connected, it would be colored green. If the EDGE icon "E" would show some half ripples protruding out colored red while you're connected, it means you're connected over-the-air (WAP) only.

  • Not necessarily, the "E" icon shows if the signal on EDGE is available and strong. And even if you're connected on wifi it would sometimes be there but you shouldn't be bothered at all. If you're only connected through wap(GPRS, EDGE) you really won't be able to load up the youtube page. The data in-flow is just too small for the videos to even load up and would take you forever to just even see a glimpse of a video you would like to watch. Thus, Samsung dis-abled the youtube page unless you're connected through wifi. But once you're connected through a wifi, then you could watch all you can.

  • need help. star wifi or km555e wifi...

  • Nobady didn't tell us(stupied),why can't we watch youtube...

  • Thanks,but this means that if I have that letter in wifi mode,actually I'm not in wifi,but in wap.Is it correct?And finally,why cant I see youtube videos?

  • it really doesn't matter, it's the EDGE connections signal. If you are doing over-the-air connections, and not wifi, then EDGE will be your connection, if not, it's GPRS(which is slower) which should show the icon "G".

  • this is a very bad performance and featured mobile and it is the worst one i hace ever hade

  • The letter E,does it has to blink,even in wifi mode?

  • what do you mean flash my FW? how will i do that? and where?

  • yea.. it will be great to have a 3.5mm jack on star wifi.. just use an adaptor.. im using adaaptor to +SE headphone with mega bass.. superb sound.. :)

  • plays music(with earphones) for 14 hours straight. love it. it's a shame it uses proprietary headphones... i need to look for an adapter.

  • I have 1 question my phone case is old case i get a new case for this phone

  • here's the link.. turbobit.net/2i0x9ghwrbxg.html (1) 30 pack games megaupload.com/?d=ENXA5NUP (2) 10 pack games there our other games out there google it.. about the themes.. you need to flash your firmware.. :)

  • try this one

  • I really haven't got much time to browse the web and look for any themes or games...specially the touch-based games(java) and apps. Would you mind telling me where you got them? i found some apps but those are for regular button-based apps on mobiles24(.)com and some at getjar(.)com...and having a hard time looking for themes too...

  • Thanks!

  • where can i locate the document viewer?tnx

  • how to find or locate the document viewer?tnx

  • tnx lord_RED!.. yea sometimes you need to tweak the settings.. mine is 1 month old.. best midrange phone.. i have 8GBmicroSD w/ 80 java games(touchscreen + landscape ) mp4 videos.. 3 movies.. and android theme + dark theme.. this phone is great!

  • i loved my s5233w its very elegant and light.when you scroll it you feel very easy and classy.

  • Nice pone.picture & sound Quality is very good. enjoy the full screen video & blueray picture.

  • hahaha nice name. i agree. i've had this phone for almost a year now and all that i'm experiencing in regards to wifi is the annoying chappyness of the connection on public places specially if there's too many things moving about in between my phone and the wifi spot. other than that, nothing else. sometimes you need not configure/tweak anything on the settings for the wifi, all you gotta do is add if the connection doesn't have a PW, or key-in the PW on the "NETWORK KEY" box. if it doesn't connect, or it says "disconnected", "DNS failed" or any other prompts except "authentication failed". all you have to do is restart the phone and it should connect next time around. If "authentication failed" is the notice, it means you entered the wrong PW. this should help you guys out that are not able to connect through wifi.

  • application are working for wifi 100%.. you just dont know how to set your wifi... :)

  • it is a nice phone and its features worth this price.wifi is good one and touch and accelerometer is great

  • it depends on your wifi.. But usually, it automatically connects to the wifi.. just give it a try in other places.

  • What are those settings?...

  • I have been using this phone since 4 months and & it is really a irritating piece. Now it starts freeze & its screen starts behave abnormally. Common problem: 1. Even after picking the phone it continue to ring for a while & it delayed the phone picking. (most irritating) 2. Applications are not working with wifi. You need GPRS to use applications. 3. Skype, VOIPnot working. Pro: Internet surfing & youtube is fast with wifi/gprs.

  • there are other high end phones which would fit your needs and wants.. why won't you look for one.. star isnt the one for you.. try samsung galaxy S or Omnia. and this is a vid for the star

  • awsome phone,,,,i gifted it to my wife....she is happy now....awsome...

  • this could be the almost perfect phone for me but it doesn't have flsh on cam huhuhu... hard to get pics on dark places when you are having gimik o nytout.

  • I am using my samsung star right now. i have no problem with my wifi. if it says authentocatoon failed, that means you entered a wrong password or settings. if it says dns failed, that means the net connection is bad or no internet connection at all.

  • Actually i had the same problem, everybody can not make settings to connect to wi fi. If u are connecting to an open wifi network then settings are; After selecting wi fi spot select auth type WPA, encryption type TKIP, PROTOCOL HTTP LINGER TIME 300, ADHOC OFF DONT CHANGE OTHER SETTINGS HOPE IT LL HELP, I M USING SAME SETTINGS

  • How can i connect on wifi? i tried but it says "authentication failed". whats the problem and what to do?

  • Hi, Can i download skype on my Samsung Star? how? Thanks

  • I love mine. It took a while to get all the settings manually set to use with AT&T but it was well worth the effort. It is the perfect size for me, the battery life is great, nice sound, good camera (no flash but haven't needed one), and very customizable (except the back ground which I worked around). The only thing that I wish to be better is getting to the speaker phone but I rarely use it anyway.

  • I already got myself one....and I love it... wifi all the time....yeah!

  • Small help,please."Authentification unsucsesfull" is the message I receive,when I try to connect this device to the home wireless net,which off course has the password.What I do wrong,in the label where I need to insert the password,I do that.I have missed something,what...If somebody knows,please help.

  • its e very cool phone..... but please post the cpuntries where you can buy these phones.... kahit marami.... and kung kaya niyo atleast estimate how mush siya example... in the philippines mga 8,000.

  • nice phone

  • this is cool vid about star.. watch.. free internet and maps..

  • tnx anonymous for the idea

  • tnx Lord_red for the idea, By now I'm gonna buy a new Globe Prepaid sim..

  • its such a nice phone nd in pakistan its cost Rs12500/= gr8 camera result nd screen resolutn is nice nd its now available with stylus(pen)

  • Did it give anyone any problems? whether software or hardware issues?

  • I don't like all Samsung mobile because they don't write in arabic

  • you should have used the phones feature which would automatically send the number of the sim inserted in your phone thru SMS to your selected numbers. Example, if another person will use my phone and insert another SIM, my phone will automatically send SMS to my mother's number telling me the new number inserted in the phone. In that way I can know who's using my phone.

  • u can track ur mobile either by a tracker or by calling 522 from ur mobile its free of cost

  • this phone is probably very cheap and it has functions just like my samsung jet and design is also same it shud be of at least 22000 Rs

  • great phone for mid range. . . + android theme :p

  • yes you can!

  • Don't use a Tattoo Sim card in it. That sim card is only used for broadband specific usage. I once tried using a sun & smart sim thats being used for broadband connections only. It worked and the phone ran properly, except that for SMS/MMS purposes it doesn't. I don't know for a fact if the 3G being absent in star wifi have any part on this, but you can't connect through the internet even if the simcard is for broadband usage only. Same case if you use it like a modem for a PC/Laptop.

  • OS: Operating System just like a computer, a smart phone is capable of multi-tasking. The OS helps the phone to function properly and smoothly whilst retaining its phone functionality.

  • I think you should use another globe sim, don't use the tattoo.. some other phones cannot read globe tattoo sims too..

  • can i watch You Tube here in this kind of cellphone thru internet??

  • Im using this unit, but I cant use my Tattoo sim card with this unit, i've check all of this phone setting but unfortunately it prompts me "sim initializing" but my Globe sim is stil active andI can use it to may tatto kit and to other phone, I tried other network like smart and TM which is powered by Globe but yeah they are working as I inserted to this phone, but my contacts are globe and I'm using globe 7 years from now.. someone can pls help me regarding with this one??? here my number, 09084100804 as this is working to my phone

  • I lost this phone a few days back. Please help me track it.

  • what's an os? what's the difference? I think smartphones are phones that are capable of many tasks.

  • this is no smartphone, thus there is no OS. there's only TouchWiz inside.

  • authentication process is the phones way and the wifi's way of verifying the password of the connection. type-in the "Network Key" slot the password of your connection before you connect.

  • google it...type in: Opera Mini 5

  • probably slow connection or multiple users in a hot spot. try something else...

  • What is the OS of this phone?

  • why i cant use my wifi conection..its says authentication failed,whats wrong??help me pls

  • just google it..

  • I just want to ask if where I can download opera mini 5 for S5233W and how to install it? Thanks.

  • I love this phone :)

  • i think it's a great phone and im gonna have it :) By the looks of it i recommend this phone to everyone! Btw i live in Estonia and the price there is 2090 EEK(139 EUR)

  • for some reason i cant watch youtube videos. when i click on a video and it says try again! can someone help! phone itself is good.

  • its actually a cool phone and rox to d core

  • google it...try typing "J2ME or Java Applications Games" and you will get a long list of choices...

  • where can i get JAD or JAR file???

  • I just love my samsung star wifi!!! :)I think this phone is so great. It has Wi-Fi and a whole lot more plus it's affordable. :)

  • guyz i wanna make a back up of my msgs... is there a program where we can transfer our msgs from phone to pc..?just like how its done in nokia via the nokia pc suite... i know we can do it through the samsung pc studio but the backup made is in.nrf format which is not readable i want the back up to be made in a readable form...is there a way to do that?

  • OMG! i have my samsung star and i always think that the only aplication that this phone needs is wifi and now it have it.. i think this telephone is really great and really usefull

  • hai i have samsung s5230 star wifi good phone

  • thnx 4 ur reply but i have about 2500 SMS so it's impossible to transfer it using sim card is there any Program that do this ?

  • of course you can. just transfer your sim card to your new phone then copy SIM messages. Just look for the options in the messages.

  • No sir, you can't

  • hi my friend i am latin, but i try write in english. I had the same problem but i solved the problem with MOBILEdit, this program do backups of our information since any cellphone, U can restore the backup on diferents models and marks

  • If any one can help me plz I have nokia 6630 and i want to buy samsung star wifi but i don't know if i can transfer my SMS's this is Very important to me thanx in advance

  • Does any of the samsung star phones support copy-paste function as the original star doesn't have that function? Thanks in advance.

  • hi guys, I wanna buy new cellphone and I have narrowed my choices to samsung marvel and samsung star wifi, which one do you recommend? wifi connection and internet capabilities are important for me by the way.....

  • thankyou.. :) now i perfectly understood why...

  • what country are you from? my wifi works well.. if you can't connect your wifi then the settings of the wifi might not fit your phone. Try your wifi in another wifi zone. Or maybe, there's just something wrong with your unit. About your GPRS, ask the settings from your network provider or from the company where you bought your sim card.

  • actually, the phone has the capacity to hold 200 inbox messages, 200 outbox, 50 drafts, 50 sent. so even though you still have space left, the phone will display memory full...

  • install your dictioanry using JAVA. Just download the dictionary JAR file into your phone. But first, you need to have a JAD copy of your file, then use your JAD to install your dictionary. It's a bit technical but it's easy as 123. Just search dictionary for samsung star at mobile9.com. Ask your friends how to get files or search it yourself in net where you can almost all info.

  • technically, cameras won't work fine at dark. if you mean in low light, yes this works but the picture isn't that good, though with good adjustments, you can produce somewhat acceptable pictures. it doesn't have a flash and to begin with, the camera isn't its great feature. however, the camera works very fine at daylight.

  • Guys does its camera work fine in dark areas?

  • can i add dictionary as my application here?? because corby pop has built in dictionary,, i got envious!!! i want dictionary too to my phone,, so can i?? and how?

  • hi everyone, i just want to ask about the inbox memory of my phone, star wifi... it says on my memory that i have a total of 500 inbox msg that i can store thru phone memry, then why is it my msgs in inbox was at 259 yet the msg "inbox full" was prompting... is there something wrong with my phone? what can i do about it? thankyou everyone.. :))

  • hi everyone, i just want to ask about the inbox memory of my phone, star wifi... it says on my memory that i have a total of 500 inbox msg that i can store thru phone memry, then why is it my msgs in inbox was at 259 yet the msg "inbox full" was prompting... is there something wrong with my phone? what can i do about it? thankyou everyone.. :))

  • well said!! i couldn't say anymore...

  • your the unluckiest person in the world for youve been using worst phones. if you want to use the messenger, download it. use your brain. im using my star wifi now in giving this comment and it all work well. if u want to have a perfect phone, there's none

  • uhmmm...if you don't have anything useful to post here and just degrade the unit then just get the h_ll outta here... there's a whole lot of others here who actually appreciates the phone and its features to offer. Simply put, go get yourself another phone that satisfies your needs. No one needs your cr*p here...

  • try nokia c3!nokia c3 has wifi!better than c5

  • This is perhaps one of the worst phones i've ever used. the wifi only works half the time on certain hotspots, which sucks; also u cant use messenger on this. the touch screen is horrible and very unresponsive and the many other nokia and lg phones easily outclass this phone. another thing that sucks is the fact that'wifi' is printed smack infront of the phone which ruins its looks. its not shown for some reason in the pic above. thus i would recommend that no one should buy the phone, although it is cheap it is still a waste of money

  • If you can't connect try to restart. if still not able, it means your wifi connection is not good or the settings aren't compatible with your phone. look for another wifi connection and try.

  • why i cant use my wifi conection..its says DNS FAILED...what wrong with wifi?/

  • I am confused of which to choose between Samsung star wifi & nokia c5, anybody can give thier opinions

  • just go to memory card setting,, and choose store message,,

  • alright thanks,,:)

  • when your sim card is full, the phone will automatically save the message in your phone memory. or in the more options, select move to phone. Contact your operator and ask how to activate your GPRS.. but if you have wifi connection, you don;t need to use ur GPRS, Just connect it using ur wifi. go to browser setting and change it to the wifi connection. You need knowledge about this phone and wifi so you can optimize the functions of your phone. Ask your operator or your cellphone shop.

  • i cannot use my wifi.. it says here gprs something,, what should i do?

  • yes you can watch youtube here, you can also visit facebook with this phone but theres no chat and game application

  • can any body plz tel me hw to store messages on phone memory rather than on sim on dis fone

  • evrytime i use the star wifi interet it says dns failed,,what should i do?

  • no

  • Yes, you can watch VDOs on youtube via WiFi.

  • no.there are no available themes for this phone

  • is it possible 2 have a chat application in dis phone without airfare?

  • no you can't. Wifi connection is a must for you to watch youtube. Over-the-air connection proves to be too much for the video to load-up on this unit. @jecka there's no available theme....yet. None of our friends here on the thread had posted any sites where to download 1. I had been using the StarWifi ever since Nov09 and so far there's no update.

  • is this a type of phone that you can download a themes?

  • can I watch youtube videos here without using the wifi connection?

  • you can dowload games on www.mobile9.com u can get awsome games full screan ,landscape and moshon games i think we can adobe flashlite software for this phone but i cannot get that anyone know how to get adobe flashpalyer for tis pHone

  • you cant play online games here by using flash.. buy iphone 4 but it's too way expensive.

  • where can you download games with this phone? and can you install a flash player / flash lite? please reply thanks

  • i forgot my password

  • does samsung star wifi have flash player? because i'm planning to buy this fone.. and i wanted to create games from adobe flash (.swf).. is it posible? and this phone can play youtube? facebook application? it uses flash player right? please reply..

  • no, n5800 is better

  • You have to download AVS Video Converter to convert youtube video files into MP4 and then you can play on it. Select 320 X 240 resolution for converting videos and once it is converted you can play on this cell phone.

  • Is S5230W better or Nokia 5800?

  • what kind of error do you encounter?

  • Do we have skype in this phone? if no, can we install it? has anybody tried using skype with this fone?

  • i really cant use the video especially you tube.. help! dont know how to adjust the settings..

  • over-the-air(EDGE), you cannot. You have to be connected on a wifi for you to be able to do so.

  • hiyee,, just bought this fone yesterday(star wifi). So far, so good,, hmmm,,,, trying to explore things,, im loving it,,, :)

  • yes, its plays youtube videos.It is java enabled handset.working all java (nokia)applications and games.its applications available on www.getjar.com,i am using this phone.its sound clarity very good.

  • if you will take a picture (with 3.2 MP) its not clear when you look it in your cellphone, but if you upload it, its clear...

  • nice phone better than corby pop

  • I just bought this but can't use the youtube, do we need to ajust something in the settings?

  • can you play youtube here? and facebook? can you play games/application from facebook with this phone? because im planning to buy this phone

  • samsung's graphics are way better than the km555e. If you would compare the widgets, samsung's more stylish. I also like the samsung smile shutter and 360 degree turn to side when viewing images.

  • i jus buy ds las month,its good at first but now the touch keys are always hanging up and shuting down always wen i'm browsing d' internet,it is because of virus or what?,although its good when watching vid in youtube.

  • It a wonderfull phone...i really loved its batery backup n pic quality n n every thing....

  • yes you can watch youtube and in full screen mode, the buffering time takes about 5 seconds ,,this phone is fast..and i mean fast!!!!

  • I mean it does not ask for an IP... I also have username and password on my router and it works fine. Just keep it WPA and TKIP so the phone can understand it. I tried a different setting and it did not work.

  • Yes, you can watch YouTube and other sites. Farooq, I have the same phone and it does not need any IP to access Wi-Fi. Maybe check your internet connection or router? This is a good phone by the way, my only gripe is the camera, no flash!

  • what is the advantage of s5233w to km555e?

  • i love this phone...

  • can i watch youtube w/ this phone?

  • My phone needs IP address to log on for WIFI even other models of nokia and samsung doesnt ask to connect to Wifi. Can some one help how to log on to wifi without adding the ip address

  • Hello guys! i juz bought this sammy last march,hmm.its good.! ive got a n0kia already bt since am studyin and am tired of goin out to cyber cafe.i decidd 2 buy ths unit since wev got hi.wifi sgnal in here..juz bowt ths n sm val its n0t dat c0stly anym0re,am into web surfin so frm wat i hv read.sammy's nicer than nokia and s.e.,and 4 me thats really really true!am using my sammy net n0w..=)

  • you have to download the cd before ur pc can recognize ur device

  • 500 messages (200 inbox, 200 sent, 50 outbox, 50 draft). So you should not let you phone exceed up to 200 inbox messages.

  • the experience of using touch screen is just different from non touch screen phones. it has bigger screen when using the wifi.

  • go to settings, phone settings, PC connection, then choose mass storage. connect your phone to the computer via USB. then open it the folder. Then go with copy and paste. I think you should transfer first your photos from phone's memory to the memory card, if you happened to save it in the phone's memory.

  • i have question how can i use the usb device.... coz i cant upload my picture using it. im having hard time can someone teach me how.... thank you..

  • listen dude if you r planned to buy a wi-fi pone and if you wanna like 2 pay a little... then just try nokia 5630 xpressmusic.... it has a dual flass with 3.2 mp camera and a secondary vga camera... comes with xtra features like 3g, n-gage, wi-fi, EDGE, and more exciting features.... hope u study this a little......

  • how can u upload a game

  • for me its the best phone i ever got... sounds are good.... features are great and its quite easy to operate... i love this phone....

  • non 3.5 mm audio jack.

  • I just bought last day and I find this phone very responsive. Since I was an IT student, it's not hard to have/make themes(or called wallpapers) for 3 different interface. I just made my own wallpapers. and now, it looks so awesome.

  • It is awesome.... specially in Videos Sounds and ETC. also the games :D :D

  • i downloaded some themes, but i cant install the same.

  • this is such a awesome mobile best mobile ever i had take it or buy it high touch response loud sound super strong wifi

  • the responsiveness is OK but still not the best. The only downside that i've encountered so far against resistive touchscreens are through the edges and the sides of the screen. It's around that area where you don't get accurate response and would really have to press hard to register an accurate tap. Picture quality is also ok. Though, on low light conditions, due to the fact that this doesn't have LED flash at least, the pictures do take the toll. The results are smudgy and blurred (the solution is to hold the phone still and have the subject stay still for at least 3-5 seconds after pressing the shutter button). But in good light conditions, the pictures are great! Don't expect too much though, the camera is only fixed-focus. There are sometimes, but Very Minimal instances, that the unit hangs. Solution: press the lock button twice to lock the the screen, then unlock again. And voila! The phone works again! The phone restarts by itself on very very rare cases. I've had the phone ever since November last year and i've only encountered this situation twice. hope this helps...

  • so far in regards to themes, there's just 2 default themes. One in green, and the other is Red(but more of like orangish). I haven't seen any updates in regards to themes though, and i haven't updated mine for 6 months now... the thing that I don't like with Nokia is the over-all UI. It's just like every phone unit is the same. most of which are buggy. So for a change, i opted for Either SE or Sammy. Then I saw this StarWifi around November last year, got my pay & bonus, then went ahead at Trinoma and bought my unit without any 2nd thoughts! haha But now, i'm already thinking of getting Wave due to it's unbelievably low price to specs ratio!

  • one last question, does samsung star wifi applicable for themes?

  • thanks, yep im a filipina :)) im choosing between nokia 5530 and samsung star wifi :)) i find it hard to choose, coz their specs are almost same, except for having camera flash of nokia 5530. but it has a difference of almost 2t. i like the color pink of star, its so cute..

  • very hi tech phone,.,.

  • plan to buy dis mobile and have some questions... 1. Is the touchscreen responds faster than any sony ericsson phone? 2. Is the camera clear enough compare to other brands such as sony ericsson? 3. Well, will the phone will suddenly hang or... suddenly shut down or other problem? welcome S5230 Star WiFi user answer these questions, thanks a lot!!! ^^

  • there's no way you can do that. buy a phone with wifi instead.

  • Hey there, anyone can help me? I am using Samsung S5230 Star, the one without wifi, is there a possibility to get the device for wifi connection somehow?

  • Pinoy/pinay ka ba? Pics & Vids are clear! Although on poor light conditions, night mode for the pics takes a lot of toll. You have to position the camera and have it focus on the subject for at least 3-5 seconds for it to capture the image properly. Otherwise its smudgy and blurry. Video is ok even though it only captures 15fps. Both the pics and vids, the best results come about if you're in a lit environment.

  • Very Nice phone but Camera Is not good as Sumsung is famous for. No Flash so cant take good Snaps where light is not good.

  • just restart your phone and it will work. i also experienced that.

  • plz post ur comment for those using this fon, is the camera is nice? video? tnx,

  • i want to ask if the camera is nice? and also the video? very clear b ang image? tnx,

  • Hai friends.. Please tell me where can i found touch screen enabled games for this phone.... please..

  • nO.. u can easily use WIFI on this cell fone !! First search ur wifi device.. If its secured , go to advance option .. enter network key.. ! and add ur device ! thn go to Applications, thn wifi option thn connect ur device! then u will be able to use wifi !!

  • i havent experienced that problem. I can easily connect to Youtube whenever im in wifi. Choose the wifi browser profile. Maybe you havent changed your connection settings when you browse.

  • can u help me with my problem. im in a wifi AREA. I cant play the videos in youtube. what will i do? do i need to download the application?what king\d of application should i be download

  • there are certain wifi connections that requires a password before you get the connection.. so better try accessing those that are not secured with a password.. some cafe's and malls do have this service.

  • yeah video chat now is available on iphone 4 but not on this device

  • for the WIFI Problem: first: open the wifi, do a search. once you've found your connection, just click on either "add" or "connect". second: if there's a password to the connection, just type it in on the "network key" option; if there's none, just click on "save" then press the "back button". having done so, the phone will connect to the wifi connection...or just connect manually. it's either you get a prompt that you're already connected or disconnected or the other prompts(such as "no response from AP", or "DNS failed"); third: if you get the prompts indicated above, all you have to do is restart your phone, and just reconnect to the connection. you should then get a response that your unit is already connected; finally: go to menu, then browser-settings, then browser profiles and choose the connection you are connected with and then you're done! surf all you can!! if you already had added lots of profiles (or WiFi spots), then there's no need to change the connections. Just connect and browse, the phone itself will adjust to the connection available. this is a bit tricky but if you follow these simple steps, you'll get along well! if the problem for disconnection persists, or no response from AP, this would only mean that your spot or signal from the wifi itself is very poor, or there's just too many people using the connection at that moment...so try again later.

  • i am using the opera mini free internet. really great. no proba with my net and wifi. u guys should take good care of your phones. connect with a good wifi connection.

  • Is there any way i can do voice chat ...any IM which would support this phone..VOICE CHAT???

  • @ lord_RED thnx for the WiFi advise, i was getting DNS FAILED, i restarted my phone and it worked

  • sure! no probs! BTW, am soon going to sell my StarWifi and will upgrade to Samsung WAVE!!!!!!!

  • for the WIFI Problem: first: open the wifi, do a search. once you've found your connection, just click on either "add" or "connect". second: if there's a password to the connection, just type it in on the "network key" option; if there's none, just click on "save" then press the "back button". having done so, the phone will connect to the wifi connection...or just connect manually. it's either you get a prompt that you're already connected or disconnected or the other prompts(such as "no response from AP", or "DNS failed"); third: if you get the prompts indicated above, all you have to do is restart your phone, and just reconnect to the connection. you should then get a response that your unit is already connected; finally: go to menu, then browser-settings, then browser profiles and choose the connection you are connected with and then you're done! surf all you can!! if you already had added lots of profiles (or WiFi spots), then there's no need to change the connections.

  • Just baught my star wifi two days ago and still trying to figure out how to sync with iSync on my mac, plug-ins don�t exist nor from Apple or Samsung or third party software does not work on this phone. So I transferred all contacts and appointments to windows 7 on the bootcamp partition on my mac and tried to install the Samsung PC Studio software, that was a no go due to 32bit. So I download the latest version of PC Studio for Win7 and that software does not work either due to a bug, so I downloaded a fix but still no go. Why does Samsung sell new version phones which are not compatible with modern versions of software, be it Mac Win or Linux???

  • Why can't I send sms to someone in another country????

  • hi freinds!!!1 i am switching to SE x10. but i still like the samsung star wifi which the easy.

  • I think you have to update your phone to erase everything stored in the phone's memory. Don't worry about your sim or memory card's memory, it won't be affected. Search in the samsung's website in how to update your phone. All you need to do is to connect the phone to the internet, follow instructions, and download the updates. Updating the software would somehow make your phone fresh, just like you taking a bath every morning.

  • Hi, Please, can you let me know in this Samsung Model S5230W about voip call, we can call voip call like Nokia Phone Models.

  • I already bought this, and hoping that it will perform well ;))

  • hmm havent tried installing a mini opera but why do you need it? cant you browse using your phone? mine works well since i can youtube, facebook, plurk etc minus the IM that i cant figure out how to make it work on my phone

  • we've got the same unit and mine doesn't have a problem at all regarding the calendar. i haven't encountered a delay in its settings.

  • @rorie, you shouldn't delete your phone files using your pc maybe that is why it caused you trouble. I've read somewhere just dunno if its in the user guide or what that its not healthy for the phone to delete its files using the pc. i only delete files on the phone when i already copied it on my pc. anyway, i'm planning to reset my star wifi because i think it started to act awkward because i tried to browse an IM proxy when I was connected to a wifi. Hope resetting it will solve the problem.

  • nokia 5530 no doubt about it!

  • how can i set/ install opera mini in my phone? everytime i try to install it, it doesn't go well.. please help!!

  • is this suggestion working? i cant seem to locate block user..

  • do u accept swapping?????

  • i'm planning to buy a phone and i have narrowed it down to lg gt505, samsung monte,samsung star samsung corby pro and nokia 5530? what i'm looking for in a phone is screen clarity, effective accelerometer and touchscreen (where it takes a millisecond for the screen to respond), camera with flash that takes clear photos (not necessarily high pixel), with java and can install jar files, with document viewer (especially pdf and word coz i install ebooks), and the wifi is not so sluggish, call function clear, and can adjust brightness, and can install maps whether google, ovimaps or etc. i hope someone can help me decide which is the best. I'm not really particular whether the phone is 3g or not as long as the above are there. thanks

  • my opinion is: this phone is great but why don.t it have a flash camera??!! and why don.t you put 3G ??!! i mean why don.t you make the second camera for 3G communicate??. realy i.m waiting for the new mobile have good price and good useing. i hope my opinion didn.t annoy you. and thanks

  • may i know what is the router pre-shared key?please help me.thanks.

  • i just wanna know how i stop the sound of keypad, it is so noisy when i touch it, does anyone know how i do this????

  • Hey lovely guys.. don't buy this mobile it is slow when u play music player background.. and everything works ultimate fine:*

  • hi! got star wifi 3 mos ago and everything worked fine till i copied pictures from my camera to my memory card using my PC. phone started to restart twice when i try to restart it and d phone sometimes dont read my card and only phone files show up after restarting. i have a 2gb card and i havent even used up 1gb. i tried deleting d pictures that i have copied but after restarting they show up on d card again. i even tried deleting them using PC. is it possible that my card is damaged or infected? i scanned it for virus and found no threat. pls help, tnx!

  • yes.tou go to the appications and then you find the wi-fi!!!

  • no!!!my phone is fine!!!

  • I'd go for StarWifi... but the thing is, your taste...if you prefer capacitive screen over resistive, and a 3" screen over a 2.8"...it's up to you...there's just a really small difference between the two...

  • which one is better samsung star wifi or samsung corby wifi? please give your opinion..

  • does anybody noticed that when you view the widget calendar(NOT the system calendar), it is one day behind? i have a gt s5233w

  • does anybody noticed that when you view the widget calendar(NOT the system calendar), it is one day behind? i have a gt s5233w

  • hi ,,,can any one help .... games passords..of this hand set

  • bought this one 2 days ago, white color and its awesome. i can watch youtube, use google maps, etc. whenever i connect to a wifi. its so lightweight and very affordable. i have no problems so far just the memory that i have to expand since its only has few internal memory

  • Hi guys, tried everything posted in this forum but nothing worked, so i tried different combination and alas, i found a configuration that works. here's what i did: wireless router side: 1. set wireless mode to B-G Mixed 2. Standard Channel = 8 3. Encryption - TKIP Phone side: 1. delete the configured wireless connection/s if you already have one. 2. enable wi-fi but do not perform search at the moment 3. now open the browser and select settings then browser profiles press search for wi-fi. 4. select the connection that you want to connect to then type the details and match the settings on the router. 5. Auth type = WPA, encryption = TKIP, network key = router pre-shared key, protocol = HTTP, Home URL = address of modem (you can change it later if everything is already working), leave proxy blank, linger = default, adhoc = off, no need to do advance settings. 6. save the settings and do not connect yet. 7. exit the browser and go to Wi-Fi and select the connection that you have just configured and select details. 8. check all the settings if ok. if the channel is different with the router, adjust it on the router to match the one used by the phone. IP address = not connected (it will automatically connect once you browse the internet). 9. now, try to browse the internet but you must set first the connection you've just configured as default connection. That's it. I hope that this helps. This applies only to personal wireless network. Happy browsing!!!!

  • does it supports skype?

  • I just wanted to know that during call can i type any number with going on hold? for e.g if someone is dictating any number while on call, can i write and save number at the same time?

  • hello friends... im planning to buy a samsung touch screen phone, either star wifi or jet... i know samsung jet is far better than star wifi in all specs... but the pocket-friendly price of star wifi is also an unavoidable aspect... can any1 tell the actual current market price of samsung jet... thanks in advance...

  • ..how long is the lifespan of this phone..4to5years?

  • I have recently purchased this Star WiFi (though the screen reads the model as S5233W). The problem is, it runs any YouTube video for only 2 minutes and 14 seconds on Wifi, then drops the connection. At times, it resets or reboots the phone. What is it?

  • i think 8 GB is maximum it can handle nd not 16..

  • Hai! i can'T found the wifi.. can you give me about wifi in samsung S5230?

  • where can i download opera mini that will work with my mobile? every time i install it to my mobile, it doesn't work.

  • here is a good website that provide free apps www.mobile9.com another one www.zedge.com

  • mobiles 24 . com getjar . com and just simply google it...

  • May I ask what site using S5230W Star WiFi where I could download games & applications for FREE?

  • Dude, when you connect through your wifi with more than 6 characters for your PW, edit the portion where it says 64-bit...and change it to 128-bit. and from there change your password on the network key. It should then let you type more than 6-8 digits.

  • compared to the U800, it mainly depends on your interest. If you find it better than the StarWifi, then it's no problem, it's where your interest lies. I find for myself that StarWifi is appealing and simply because of it's user friendliness, and also because of the added Wifi with such affordable price.

  • yeah you can install J2me apps. you just have to look for a good website where to download them. Games and Apps work fine...

  • yeah, I think so...Samsung makes almost the same line of Phone and levels but takes away some of the big specs so as to make it affordable, and then some time later releasing the same model but then again WITH some specs added that were previously ommitted. I find that smart enough to catch the consumers, and also makes the market a whole lot bigger with various choices.

  • yes you can...a lot of'em are available, try going to mobiles24.com this is the site where i've gotten lots of games...even getjar.com

  • can i set up any java programs on that phone

  • Hi everyone, How can I set incoming text messages (sms) to the phone memory? Incoming text messages are being saved to the SIM that make it full after 30 messages have been received. I have to erase or manually move to phone memory everytime. Kindly help me on this. Thank you.

  • i own this model. but i have a problem in using the wifi in some situation.im using wifi at home..and it require password to log in.i have a problem in dealing with the password, to get connected to the browser, using my phone since the browser is locked.and the password contains 13words.so how can i settle this problem? hope you can help me find a way to solve this because in short time, i'll be giving away my laptop to my brother and so i will only have my phone to help me go online. thank you.

  • Is there any way i can do voice chat ...any IM which would support this phone..VOICE CHAT???

  • uhhh...it depends...do you, most of the time connect through wifi? or just simply use over-the-air connection(EDGE) to access the internet??? the name of the unit just simply answers your question by itself...

  • which samsung is better samsung star onlu or samsung star wifi plzzzzzzzzzz help

  • the phone has no camera flash.. it is stand alone.. but the pictures taken are ok depending on the light condition.. when you take pictures at places with low light quality, then the picture taken will be blurred. the wifi function is good.. had no problem using it.. just make sure there is enough signal strength to connect properly

  • can we use this phone as a modem?

  • as you can tell, the wall paper is one huge picture which when you set it, you have to pan between screens to see the other parts of the picture. You either have to edit the pictures on a computer, with the specific dimentions and then transfer them over to your phone to properly view your pictures as wallpaper on your unit.

  • there may be a defect on your unit...try asking for a replacement...

  • Samsung S5233w is star wifi and samsung S5230 is just samsung star and it doesn't have wifi. There is bit price difference and in looks of operating system. Why is that everybody is writing incorrectly everywhere.

  • samsung star wifi or samsung monte...please tel thanks .....

  • anyone can help how to use to set the wall paper every time i use only part of the photo is appearing.

  • how can i use my picture as wallpaper...most of my pictuures are not available to use as wallpaper...it has a crop margin but its not working....thats y when i set it as wallpaper only part of the photo is there in the screen

  • I'm using this phone from last 6 months. This is one of the worst phone for Net configuration. Always problem with GPRS & MMS settings. Still now i can't able to use Wi-Fi. BSNL Service provider configuration software is not support for this model. This is not support for Mobile banking (ICICI bank)software. Always i'm getting 'GPRS is not working' message while using mobile banking.

  • It seems that you haven't explored your phone yet. There is a menu there that calibrates your touch screen... Meaning, if your phone is not responding well to your fingers, you can configure it by going to the "Phone Setting" and then choose "Calibration". That's all I can say... Thank you!

  • how can one know that the new fiirmware is available at service cntr ?????? are s5230w and s5233w same?? I have s5233w.is5230w better????

  • this series of STAR phones dont compliment its name, the name should be falling STAR....so cheap plastic casing,poor touch quality u need a hammer for the phone to respond...poor sound quality, no speaker, slow internet...camera is FAIR.....over all: 5/10

  • clearly...this is not the phone for you...i wouldn't call it stupid, though, since this phone is quite selling good in our place. It is user-friendly, though it just need some other tweeks for some other functions. Try looking for some other units that would fit your needs.

  • This samsung star wifi is a local phone almost 80% files it cannot play.It only plays video of 320×240 resolution or lower not higher than this

  • well its a stupid phone....the msg memory is so less !!! just 500 msgs !!! u can't save them on memory card. to insert memory card, u have to remove battery. stupid isn't it ????? 3.2 mp camera and no flash !!!

  • @rajeh Not sure what you mean by sound profile... But the camera is decent. Like most camera phones, it works well with good lighting, but quality takes a dive in low light situations. No image stabilization either, so you'll take a lot of fuzzy images (specially if you use a silicon or jelly case with it). My only other gripe is that while on a call, you pretty much can't access any other phone function other than sending a message (which is slow while on a call by the way). I don't understand why Samsung didn't include this 'feature' as it seems pretty basic (most of my previous Nokias, including my current 5130 gives you pretty much full access to all features even while on a call). Overall though, it's just a minor gripe. I love this phone for its functionality, great battery life, the easy-on-the-eyes font options. If you have the extra money though, you might wanna consider the Marvel instead, specially since the camera seems to be a factor for you (5.0 mp, auto focus, image stabilization).

  • I thot of buyin a phone range from 8000 to 10000.... saw this model... sexy model... user reviews were not bad... but still need a confirmation??? how is the camera and sound profile?? works gud??? better to buy this model or try for some other... if yes can yo pls suggest the models dude.... thanks in advance!! :)
