When I send a SMS of length of 2 Messages, phone forcefully confirm to Send Message(It feel bad when you know the SMS length is more then 160 Char) Connectivity with PC Studio is bad, You can not receive and send message more then 160 in length. You can not store your contact/sms in open formate so that you import in any other phone.

There's is nothing 2 worry about, at first go to camera mode then on the screen on right hand top corner you will see an icon refereiing as "A" with an arrow, click on that and you will get the list to switch the FLASH option for the camera mode. Keep on going buddy......Take lot of pics in the dark now.......Bye..

  • hi! I also have samsung marvel, I was wondering if any of you knows how to take a screenshot on samsung marvel?? 'cause I've been looking for it all over the internet and I can't find anything... :))

  • I have this phone for more than 2 years. The reason I bought this was its whooping 5 megapixel camera that is rarely seen in entry-level phones. Sharp images, plus flash. The audio quality, with or without headphones, is superb too. Music quality is my number one criteria. Battery life is good. Call quality is good. Sometimes, I can't connect to the internet. Have not been using the PC connect since I first used it because it sucks. There is no software update, so performance will lag when you have music on. Fortunately for me, I don't text when I'm listening to music. hahaha. Touch is still sensitive and accurate. Although I'm getting tired of touchscreen and I'm planning to buy a simple mp3 and a BB type of phone. :)

  • Does it support office documents & pdf files

  • plz tell how is it? i wana buy it plz tell me plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

  • the problem u ppl r saying abt the alarm , js press the unlock button n the alarm will b off.

  • Dear Fatima, you can convert movie into MP4 format; which can also be supported . Software is available with handset else u can download it from net.

  • As far as Samsung star superb uses concerned is that excellent in operating; i have also try to put movie in ipod MP4 format which is working superb. So i remanded it to buy ;

  • This phone is awesome, love it!

  • is there a solution for a memory problem, when on internet opens only the frist site and shows Not enough memory. Is there any solution ?

  • this mobile is best

  • Mostly movie format for samsung mobile is 3gp. Just convert all the video into 3gp format, than we can play it. For the converter just download the 3gp video converter from the internet. Hopely work.

  • U can Try 3gp formate ... i hope this formate will work

  • what kind of movies can i put into this kind of phone.. i tried mp4 formats but it didnt work.. as far as now, I am just using the MP3 part of this phone, I wanted to use it to watch movies, but I cant.. Can someone help me please.. Thanks!

  • Same problem, cant connect to the internet. :(

  • No, is not cool. Ok, camera is nice, but the phone is a joke. I have one and after two months or so, the touch screen started to act strange, is not as sensitive as it used to be (even without that protective sheet), often restarts, sometimes when I dial, it says Dialing and doesn`t do anything, when screen is locked, I can hear it in my pocket doing some stuff I didn`t tell it to do and when I unlock the screen, I see it browsing the menu or the phonebook or trying to connect to a hot spot or other operations... Try to use the cable hands-free to listen to music and press the button near the microphone, the music should stop, but the phone SHOULDN`T START DIALING LAST DIALED NUMBER!

  • Its very cool cell phone , camera is awesome ... very sharp result both pic & movie. 95 / 100 !

  • Hi, can i get help from neone, I like my phone it's great and easy to use but my only problem is that i can'y use the Wifi what reason don't no it also happens when i want to use my internet. something about the surver? Dose this has happend to somebody? plz let me no what's up and hope i could start using my Wifi or internet thanks

  • heyy there, i have a marvel and i have a problem with the wifi , it doesnt connect to the internet while other phones do !! is THere A setting that makes this work

  • This is a good cell but message memory is a problem. It gets full very soon. I don'y know why (

  • guyz can anyone tell me wat is 'synchronize' option used for?????plz help!!!!

  • thank you,, i think i'll buy it :)

  • I have bought Samsung S5560. Overall its a great cell but there are two problems. One its alarm is problematic as at times the alarm doesn't work. Second, there is often a message that message memory is full even when sent box is cleared and there are even 20 messages in inbox.

  • The major problem for this one is the memory[Internal]...it has around 35mb of it... most of it is already used by the built in images and sounds[cannot be deleted]...the ringtones which we use is also stored in phone mem, which makes little mem available and thus slowing down the phone. And one more thing...when you transfer file through Bluetooth,they first save in phone memory...this gives us prob when we transfer multiple or big files,if the phone mem is full thus transfer gets cancelled and thus we have to keep on transferring the files to mem card to run the phone smoothly.

  • It`s a very good phone.I just bought it before a week a go so untill now it`s worikng very well,including that it`s just a little bit slow,that`s all.

  • Great Phone..camera is good , video is not bad at all.didnt find any problems with alarm like the comment in here..u have to slide to make it stop..b/c alarm is periodic..its a good phone if your pocket limits you but you want some which can compete with expensive phones..5 mega pixel camera not at all bad...

  • Does it have speed dial option?

  • i bought this mobile before 4 months ago and i want to change it due to the following problems: 1. bad alarm, the alarm doesn't work as supposed sometime it works and sometime it doesn't. if i define two alarms with repeat it doesn't work and i used to miss my work because of this :(((. 2. back lock, sometime when i put the mobile in my pant i found that it made calls to people. 3. very bad writing because of small size screen.

  • i don't know what i'm going to buy.. samsung marvel or samsung jet?

  • which is the best among the 2? this phone or nokia X3 02?

  • Hey! I wanna buy this phone but I'm not so sure. Now I have a nokia 5130 xpressmusic but I'm sick of nokia! It's worth to buy this samsung or not?

  • heyy plz i need help i cant save any software as i m getting this java error that no enough memory ?????????? how can i change my phone memory???? i hv got memror card of 2 gb stilll this error?

  • my phone got hanged due to memory card.without memory card messages icon does not open.please tell me what to do?

  • I have a samsung marvel and justyesterday its screen refused to respond. whenever i swith the phone on and input the simcard PIN, it boots and then locks the screen by itself and from there the screen doesnt respond at all. Even if i try to use the lock button on the top right side of the phone it wont respond.i have tried looking for answers online and most comments that i`ve read suggest that the cable connecting the touchscreen to the phone motherboard could be disconnected...any idea as to what could be the problem??it began acting like this after i dropped it accidentally.

  • I have this mobile for more than 6 months,Initially i had some problems with the battery backup.then I reinstalled the software.By then, it is been awesome as per the battery life is concerned.But i have to say the touch screen sensitivity is coming down as the months roll on.Flash is very good so that of the picture quality.The music clarity is very good especially on hands free. So my suggestion will be "Dont buy Samsung Touch mobiles which has the price range < 10k.(especially this one).

  • Are you serious?

  • BEST BUY FOR THE PRICE. I have used Nokia , sony but i bought samsung for the first time. the menu is very easy to use...very neatly laid out. battery is awesome ...goes for 4-5 days once charged.unlike other brands whic you have to charge almost daily Music output is comparable to ipod under the dynamic mode. cool camera too with so many modes to shoot. worth buying it if u are looking for multimedia experience at an affordable price

I bought the phone one week ago and I want to smash it because of this problem!! Sorry for my bad english! HAppy Easter!

  • I own S5560i model. Is a very good phone. Camera is excellent. Is one of the best 5MP phone cameras. Audio is loud and decent. Touchscreen works well. Is a decent phone. Battery last 3-4 days of normal use, depends on how is formatted. Has a software with something from apple something from android + smth from bada. Samsung software for pc is bulshit you cannot make a proper bakcup to calls, events or messages, only print screen them and save the images to pc.:)) You cannot put special ringtones to contacts because they copy first in 20 MB FREE INTERNAL memory of phone before set to ringtone. If you had manny applications opened ( widgets, apllications, internet etc) they crash and appears on screen: memory is full ( i supposed RAM) please closed applications and try again. Wi-fi works fine. Has only edge but works fine on internet. I recomend this phone. Is a good phone after all

  • a.o.a, what is wi.fi? realy i dont know

  • As posted on gsmarena on this phone's specs: Memory Phonebook 2000 entries, Photocall Call records Yes Internal 78 MB Card slot microSD, up to 16GB, buy memory Personally I think it has less that 78MB internal memory (somewhere around 50 or 60MB), but be aware that it copies content from microSD card into phone's memory on ringtone assignment!

  • Is not 3G. And read my comment above (the long one).

  • Menu/Wi-Fi (second screen)/ Turn wi-fi on then press Search, pick an unsecured hot-spot (one that has no lock icon on it), clik on it and select Connect. Then, select Save and after that, depending on the strength of the signal, you might just be connected. Press the diamond button on your phone, then access menu and select Internet. Select home or enter a URL of your choice. Done. You're on the internet now (if available on that hot-spot).

  • This phone is a joke. Is a piece of crap. DON'T BUY IT! It has a lot - and I mean A LOT - of concealed faults: - plug in crappy hands-free, start music player from menu, try to stop music player pressing button on hands-free and see what happens: it dials the last dialed number! - very very very slow! If you started music player and want to do something more, forget it! - sometimes (and I get this quite often) it won't dial, despite the fact that the screen says "Dialing..." (and by-the-way, it takes way too much to end a call!); - touch screen gets a lot less sensitive in time (I own this phone for more than 3 months now and I already got sick of it); - NPS (New PC Studio) is a joke for PC connectivity, try to transfer a file by cable (or by any other means) using PC Studio: you'll fall asleep on your keyboard; works way way faster on simple bluetooth transfer; - Do you have a micro SD inside your phone that contains cool ring tones or videos you want to assign to your contacts? Do you think phone can access a ring tone DIRECTLY from SD card? You're WRONG! It firstly copies it from SD into phone memory on assignment to a contact! That's SOOOO LAME! So, if you changed ringtones several times, you might get this message: "Phone memory full, delete some files" and then you wonder: "WTF?! I got a 4Gb microSD inside, how's that full and why ?". Then it hits you: it copies content from SD into phone memory, so forget assigning ringtones to contacts (you can do that however, but you need to keep on deleting tenths of instances of files you used before... it sucks a lot! - NO FIRMWARE UPDATE to fix the above software problems! In fact, no support from Samsung for this phone! - it has this impossible to disable fade-in ring! Well, some users DON'T WANT a fade-in ring! It should have been an option on ringing, not compulsory! - do you want to listen to some music and suddenly you see something worth taking a picture of? Press the camera button, the music will stop. Why is that? - connect the phone to pc with NPC (New PC Studio), go to messages, you'll see on some of the messages "This message is not supported. Check it on your phone". Activate the menu on the phone, go to Messages to check that unsupported message, you'll get "Unable to access Messages while PC Studio is running". So, what is PC Studio good for anyway? You cannot even listen to the radio while PC Studio is making your phone useless! DON'T BUY THIS PHONE, IS NOT WORTH IT! I bought it because it has Wi-Fi and had a good price for a phone with this feature, but is not a good deal. The design and the fact that it has Wi-Fi and touch screen might open up your pocket/wallet, but after 2 months or so, you'll be disappointed. Very disappointed. (Romania)

  • Hi Jay, Can u help me to know for wht purpose AVS video converter is used if it is beneficaial can i download it in my mobile.

  • Hey hi cnan u help how to connect with WFI as i try so i get an error authentiaction failed. i bought the cell phone last yr n sitt not enjoyde the WIFI service. so plz help to solve de problem. hope for a fast reply..................

  • Its market price (from mobile markets) is around 13,200. I have purchased it last week. Its really a good mobile specially considering its price. Camera is really good. Touch screen is nice but make sure you put screen protector on it. Internet surfing is also good from opera mini and even from default browser. u can download games, software and messangers. No problem in connecting with Wifi.

  • I have got the same problem!

  • yaaar mera net to bauhat tez chalta hai..bina oprea fopera ke

  • x8 s far better. Bada os sucks. It isnt user friendly but 5560 hs a vry loud speaker, an advantage, x8 doesnt hv. But x8 s still better. F u go x8 go to vivaz. Am using vivaz its superb. But d video light/flash s weak like evry ericson has, but in well litted area, superb.

  • Touch is good, I feel cool using it, 8/10. Camera not that much good as expected to be a 5 MP, 7/10. Software, low on customization, 6/10. Design, looks cool to me, especially from back side, 9/10. Sound is awesome on hands-free, not without it, 8/10. The bad thing which makes me feel, �Can I replace it without losing money & time?� is that it is worst on messaging. Only 500 SMS you can save, no option for message memory. You can make groups but can not select them all in one tap while sending message, select them one by one, aghhhhhh!, moreover you can not send message to more then 10 contacts (Damn! Why anyone would make a message group then?). Generally, if you are not interested in messaging, it is a good mobile on low price.

  • like the phone but cant get the right settings to used internet and pic and vid msgs

  • Take it to the service.

  • Thankyou jay to reply about opera mini. I'll certainly look for it.

  • i've forgotten its lock code how to reset that? plz help

  • Hey hi there, wel opera mini z a nice browser whr u cn put 9 shotcuts to any site, mark bookmarks, save pages, it hs dwnload mgr, n its fast, i always prefer usin opera mini rather dan using d samsung fone browser, n d best thing abt it is dat u cn open many tabs at a tym i.e multitaskin, n u cn save any image u open lyk in google which u cnt do in fone browsr aswel u cn minimise d task whn u r dwnloadin anything, for s5560 u cn dwnload opera mini 5.1 from opera mini.com.

  • Can anyone please tell me whats opera mini?

  • Thanks Karthik to notice my question.

  • @Sneha- hi sneha, d 2 fones u r talkin abt r very diffrnt 4m each othr lemme distinguish des 2 to u so dat u wil get d diffrnce n u1l undrstand which1z gud- Samsung s5560 works on Java platform which is vry old whr as sony ericson X8 is an Android its d latest OS. S5560- no 3g. x8-3g. s5560- vry slow, x8 very fast gud ram, s5560-5mp auto focus, x8-3.2mp cam but stil gud. u cant upgrade d OS of s5560 but u can in x8. so i'l advice u to go 4 x8 but if u hav a high budget den go for samsung wave 8500 dis is d best fone it has all d features.

  • Ho do you send a message on this mobile?

  • Dear Friends, I gifted this phone to my wife in feb 10 and also using for last 9 months. In India this model is called Samsung star superb. Good: Smooth touch panel, easy menu, good features. Bad: Very Bad camera, bad speakers, the phone gets disconnected frequently, many of the functions are not easy to use, in short, lots of features does not possess claimed quality. Conclusion: at present in 2011, many better alternates available in the market with lesser cost. Samsung projects its features very well, but practically it does not posses quality. Nobody can challenge Nokia/Sony Ericsson quality(for normal users). HP/Apple/ASUS/Blackberry/Acer/Motorola/Dell are still not for masses in India.

  • may i know how to download google talk on this fon... its says DNS failed even if i already have internet connection.

  • This is a Tocco lite with better camera, battery, and wifi baby! tis a good phone.

  • can anybody guide me how to login to orkut as when i try to do so the error promt as turn on the cookie....can anyone help me out thanks

  • I have a very mixed opinion on this fone. The camera is simply superb and the screen also is pretty good for this price range. The presence of an audio jack is an important feature as well. Not really a fan of wi-fi but for some people it's very important so I guess that's a key feature as well. The phone has amazing features for it's price but the problem is that it's just too damn slow, it really takes so much fun out of it. The other huge problem with the phone is that the message memory is only 500 which includes inbox, sent msgs, drafts and saved messages. I can understand the phone being slow since it's cheap but it's certainly not cheap enough to warrant being so bad for messaging. The phone also resets many settings when you connect it to a PC and then does not revert back, you have to manually change quite a few settings that the phone puts to default, can be quite annoying if you frequently connect it to a PC. I would recommend SMS freaks to stay clear of this phone and overall I would recommend people to not buy this phone and cheap touch phones in general, you really need fast processing to make the touch experience smooth and responsive.

  • please mac address?

  • can anyone tell me how can i watch videos on metacafe or atleast google videos... i am not able to watch em....

  • good phone .... i bought it 7 months back. i was a best decision i made . it have almost all the stuff that a person want to have and that at a 10k(old price).... 5 mega pixl cam with flash (nice work done by samsung) touch wiz 2.0 is better for resistive screens. so another +ve point.. 3.5 mm standard jack. can connect where ever u want . google maps is fine. evrythng is perfect. even the browsing experience is cool. getting so much at an affordable price is an treat for me . i have a limited pocket and cant afford to spend big on cell phones. but now when i see i find more new mobiles carrying such features.. but yeah if had to buy now thr is so much choice in the market. technology moving like super sonic. will be changing my s5560 in few months may be 5 to 6 .. and will look for an another set that can fit acc. to my pocket yet with features i want. good phone ... yeh sum cool applications (java).. it supports. . im loving my s5560 marvel. no themes that i dislike.. but yeah overall fine

  • turn the camera in video mode and select the flash on mode. than start video recording and you find flash is working. thanks

  • @chintu: try to search 'Samsung S5230 Wallpaper Creator' and download it. you can create your own wallpapers and arrange the 3 photos as to your preference. have fun!

  • I like this phone.I own one. But the one thing Im concerned about is the LED flash. Its very painful in the eyes when you shot at faces. Also I dont like the messaging memory. You cant use memory card as a storage for the sms. You rely on the phone's internal memory. Also, I dont like that there is no copy paste feature on it. You cant copy paste text like the ones in Nokia. I also dont like the built in explorer because there is no minimize feature for it. Well thats it.If these things doesnt disturb you. Go ahead and buy on

  • guys plz tell me how to hide images from quickview of camera

  • I own one for 2 mos now, I've not much complain but its just that whenever im using the camera and I accidentally pressed the lock key (which is really often because you have to hold the phone horizontally), you cannot do anything anymore with the phone. You have an option to just remove the battery to restart it or wait until it auto locks. Its just frustrating considering it has 5mp camera which i often use. how can I solve this?

  • Hey man king, unfortunately there is no theme available 4 dis fone, if u want theme u hv to change d firmware of dis fone,u cn get its link n tutorial 4m youtube, search 4 - 'firmware for samsung star' or '6 theme firmware'.(without quotes). wel if v talk abt d video, y takin so mch eforts whn u hav d software of d fone convert any video wit it, it wil cnvrt d video d best compatible wit d fone, or i do it wit converter, u cn gt it 4m d toolbar of mozila firefox, der u'l many 4mats, i choose- best quality mp4. search it.

"im loving this set"

  • Ya it dos'nt hav os, neithr its themes r available, bt it firmware can b changed, i.e 'six theme firmware' n 'i.phone firmware' in 6 theme firmwre u'l get 6 mindblowing themes, i.e windows, alien, metalib blue, black, nokia symbian n i phone. n in iphone firmware u'l get nly iphone firmwre both r realy cool n ossom, bt its procedure to change its firmware is bit comlicated. u cn easily get many videos wit d tutorial on youtube.

  • dude .. i dunno ur name ... this is DANISH... lg phone which u said is 11,000 in chennai ... so it costlier than my phone ...monte is good but it doesn't have flash .....so ultimately this was my choice...

  • WiFi took me little time to configure it with WEP. The phone in summary is very good and looks cool too in white color. A easy to carry with, BEST phone in this price. Here is my experience with it ... - Youtube don't work, nor any other flash ! - Its hard to switch between the applications, even with the lock button functionality. There must be some other method ! - Heavy sites (more contents, like games) sometimes crashes or hangs the built in browser. (may be due to lack of memory available) - Very few audio and video formats supported. - No good support for Office documents, also the interface to read any document (including PDF) is very clumsy (not easy to use). - Games are not good, except the bubble one. --- - Facebook (without videos), gmail, yahoomail, hotmail, etc all works without issue. - I have also used SSL VPN from this phone which worked perfectly fine. - Java support is fine. I wonder how can I use some VoIP software using its WiFi as a carrier to talk via internet. Can someone point a URL where I can find its firmware updates ??? Thank you.

  • Hey jay, Marvel does'nt hv any OS,if it has then we can easily change the theme of this fone coz lots of Symbian themes are available on the net, we can't install any application viz .sis file ,we can only install .jar files...........

  • 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.....

  • Hi selma, wel i hav s5560 n jst ma frnd bot samsung wave, ders a vast diffrince betwin these 2 fons in evry aspect xcept d cam., coz s5560 marvel is a fone n wave is a smart fone which is basic difrnce, dis fone wel let me distinguish these 2 fones- marvel - fone, wave- smart fone, marvl- 3 inch screen, wave- 3.3 inch scrn, marvl- symbian os, wave- bada os, marvel- wi-fi n no 3g, wave- wi-fi wit 3g, marvl- 10k, wave- 17k, marvl - no procesr, wave- 1 Ghz procesr, marvl- 5mp cam wit 320x240 reso video, wave- 5mp cam wit big reso., marvl-resistiv touch, wave- capacitiv touch, marvl- stereo sound, wave- 5.1 headset sound. so marvl is gud n wrth its price bt wave is best bt its price is also bit more. wel d intrnet in both r gud, infact check sm old previous pages i hav written all ma posts usin ma s5560. wel ma frnd nw d choice is ur.

  • carlos it has been said in few sites that the qwerty screen of the marvel requires hard press for characters and for spacebar. well in my phone i have to press the alphabets hard. but i havent faced problem like you are facing that it get typed 4 to 5 times. you might be pressing it hard again and again unknowingly.. but i dont think that kind of problem should arrive. beacuse you are nt pressing physical keys. in your case thr should be problem with your screen as well. but if every thing is working fine apart from messaging then you should work it out on your typing skill. THATH'S ALL.....

  • hey guys!! have you encounter any touchscreen difficulties? because I am!!! when im trying to compose a message even on qwerty or multi-tap.. when i tap on a single character it will be tapped several times like 3x to 6x.. even i calibrated it, nothing changes.. need help on this one..if theres no way to fix this one, i'm going to get rid of this phone immediately because its pissing me off!!! and does anyone know any update for the firmware of Samsung Marvel S5560?

  • hi selma both r good in in its own way if u have enough money to buy wave then wave is best than any other phone in that price range. buy any phone but once you shuld watch display of wave i think u cant buy any other phone

  • Bakwaas phone hai, why should we spend 10,000k only for a good camera, there are much better phones available with lots of features with in this prize range........

  • how to have 3 wallpapers?

  • n can we do photo editing in dis mobile??

  • cam in dim light is fine. still you cant expect it to perform very well.the flash will be useful to certain distance like 4 to 5 feet approx.. in that range flash enabled photos will be clear. sound is same like any other stereo phone. you wont get disappointed. recording is not up to the mark.it is 15 fps. durability depends upon person to person. how u use your phone. they are touchscreen phones. as u know they are always sensitive. a ph can get damaged even by a single fall or in some case it might not even get affect. so it depends upon the person handling it.

  • hows the camera in dim light?and wat about the sound n the video recording?is it a durable phone?

  • u can download three different walpapers each with 240x400 size and combine them horizontally and set the whole thing as a wallpaper!!! :) cheers

  • N dis another guy ninja also needs a doctor, he is outta fis mind!

  • Ya i agree wit any, dis guy abijit has gone mad, he's takin lyk moron, dnt knw which stupid handset he is using n thinkin it as samsung, i guess sm1 hs fooled him by seling him a cheap quality handset or may b a duplicate of samsung, evn m a user of s5560 n its cam results r awesome, infact its better dan sony cybershot 7.2 mp, n d sound is also minblowin, so dude dnt talk rubbish or eithr check ur eyes n ears.

  • bro this is your story. so dont be judgemental to that extent that u want us to boycott samsung mobiles. i am owner of this phone and believe me what you are saying is not so true to an extent. 5 pixl cam quality is nt like 2 pixl...!! its 2 much now. few files types are nt playble.. agree but at this range u cant have evrythng in a ph. * touch screen is good * sound output is cool * cam is nice though video is at 15 fps is low * no drop calls

  • frends go 4 wave....its d best!!

  • Worst phone,sound is less,picture quality is worst than 2MP phone.Dont buy it, I have this phone,m feeling very bad.

  • All those who wish to use the Samsung 5560 instroduced in India as Samsung superb at approx Rs.10,000/- with Bill n warranty. This is the first ever product I bought with bill n warranty for gift to my wife. I used the phone for about 6 months. It has very good touch screen. Reception quiality is bad. Sound quality is bad. Camera Video is OK. Camera picture quality is just as good as 2MP quality of ordinary phone camera. We cann't play FLV/WMV files. All other features are just average. I will never buy Samsung products further and also never advice anyone to go for Samsung. Nokia 5230/33 series is much better that 5MP samsung series and SE is the best comparing sound n camera quality. In short if money is the problem, Go for Nokia. Money is not problem, Go for SE. Anybody Going for Samsung, please go without expectations and have atleast one hands on look before buying the same. Good Wishes!

  • dude dnt expect price to fall rapidly... samsung wave have been intoduced here sum tym back ... so it's very early to say that there will be fall in price sooner or later. looking at the spec. its hard to say how much tym will samsung take to short its price. samsung jet is still around 14k. so its a game of wait nd watch.. :D

  • Hi evry1, wel for those who r gonna buy a new fone n r interstd in samsung, plz checkout samsung wave b4 buyin any othr fone, guys its ossom, its mindblowin, a frnd of mine jst got1, it hs capacitive tch, bada os, 5mp wit flash, 3.3 inch screen, motion sensin games, n cool browsr, tho it has mch price diffrnce in superb n wave but bt bt, stil jst check it atleast once guys, u'l 4gt evrythng, its inr 17k, price may fall aftr few months bt i jst lovd it it mindblowin.

  • im using this phone from one week but i can,t play youtube videos when i open youtube and play the video and its open the media player and do not conected....pls help

  • i have wifi connection in home. i have a laptop.. and my marvel. marvel is connecting to wifi without any hitch. but i havent played youtube videos yet. so cant comment on that. ppl saying dey facng.. kinda prob with wifi .. sumthng lyk dat. but i havent faced any issue yet. may be any kind of failure in connection.

  • I am using Wifi. I have figured out that Youtube videos work on some Wifi Routers. I have Netgear Router and it won't work on it. But the shop from where I have bought it has TP-Link and it works there fine. I don't know whats the problem. If anybody have any idea please let me know...

  • The WiFi connectivity is not transparent and easy for a novice user. It seems to be a bug in configuring /setting up WiFi with a WEP key. After trying various permutations and combination I was able to make it work in 2 hours. Anyway ! My overall experience is good, it doesn't support Youtube out of the box (not at all at the moment), and support for flash is also missing. However the document viewer (XLS, DOC, etc) bundled is completely useless, one have to spend lots of time in magnifying and scrolling here and there while using the document viewer. Facebook, gmail, yahoo, mail, etc works perfect with the built in browser. I would not recommend it for persons who do most of the things with their phone, obviously there are alternatives. Camera is not that good as in various reviews available on internet. I am disappointed. In summary, its cool looking phone with nice basic features and most importantly, the voice quality is very good, which I was not expecting. I have this phone in "Chic White" color.

  • touch screen is responsive and way better than nokia 5800 xm.. as it is resistive it is decent..

  • i want to know that what is DNS problem...........due to this i cant access my internet?

  • the camra is 5 megapixles but in the video mode it said yes i think the video is poor because it didnt even that wat kind would be that vga or other

  • I brought the Samsung S5560 and must say the usability & the total experience of the phone is up to the mark; the multimedia experience the camera & the sound quality is good too; and so far so meeting all the smart phone requirements on the same.Would recommend the same to my friends if they want a reliable and good to use phone!....bye for now....

  • SAMSUNG CUSTOMER SERVICE IS SO BAD!! I had a problem with my phone (which could potentially cost you money). My problem - the widgets connected to the internet automatically without giving you a warning sign first to let you know charges may be incurred.I emailed them and found that my email ended up in Singapore. I then phoned them and spoke to a lady in either india or nigeria I think. I waited 6 minutes in a queue and then I spoke to a lady who said you could not get the warning back on and tried to insinuate that the internet only connects on demand. I then asked her why a few times because she basically could not give me an answer and after a few minutes - the customer service advisor - HUNG UP!! My sister has a Nokia phone and apparently their service is so much better. I will never buy a Samsung mobile again. Oh and also, the lady was wrong. There is a way to get an INTERNET CONNECTION WARNING to stop widgets from automatically connecting to the internet(which is mainly why I am writing this post to let you know) > Menu > settings > display and light > widget > settings > network settings > network access OFF!!! So much for you cant do it eh!!

  • in respect to camera and sound... leave monte and corby pro... the best handset will be marvel s5560. 5 megapixl camera with flash is awesome. sound quality is similar to 1 i left out.

  • hi Manya, features of nokia 5800 and Monte are much better than Marvel except camera..ofcourse there are some dissadvantages in every phone 5800- touch screen is average and the phone is little bit slow,expensive than Monte and marvel Monte-Lack of flash Marvel-No 3G, resistive touch screen, not as good as capacitive....... its upto u which suits ur req.........

  • Hi manya, i can undrstand ur problem, its a great dillema while buyin a fone, evn i ws confusd, bt u r considerin camera, touch, conectivity n all, bt d primary need i.e SMS CAPACITY, though m a marvel user m nt happy wit it, it hs nly 500 msg capcity, v hav to keep deleting d msgs which is vry annoyin! so THINK B4 U BUY! IF U WANT BIG MSG CAPACITY.

  • nokia 5800. -it a nokia phone so it have symbian. which mean you can install all kind of mobile softwares. no problem in that. it has ovi in upgraded version. -3.2 mega pixl camera is poor. camera is not upto the mark. -it as gprs. very good -but it is almost 2 years old. -3g and wifi -resistive screen but poor. samsung s5560 -5 mega pixel camera superb -it has google maps -customize home screen 3 page default screen. something new. -wifi . good connectivity - no 3g. depends on personal opinion. if u really wana make it use.but a new technology. - resistive screen is much better than 5800

  • Dear all again i m madly confused btn nokia 5800 and marvel as 5800 3.2mp LED flash and marvel 5mp LED flash plz plz guys suggest which to buy taking in consideration all views not only camera plz plz

  • Just got this phone for £100 on o2. Pretty good so far i'm very impressed by the wifi capabilities and battery life. The camera is ok but its not great as pictures do come out a bit grainy sometimes the sound on videos or music is great though. Overall not a bad phone for the price.

  • i tried in google search ... but i didnt get the wholesale price anywhere.. all sites r showing prices with some conn. for 2 years or so but anyway thanks...

  • I just bought mine yesterday,but its with pink housing. Im just wondering If I bought a fake one as it was specified in the specifications that this one is available in that color!!! Now I'm really curious.

  • hey guys ,,, i need to know immediately ,,, what is marvel's price in USA today??? please help me out...

  • Hi iam use this phon from 3 to 4 month it is best but it sms storage is less other wise it was good

  • Hi manya, if camera is ur primary requirement then go for Marvel, but if u want 3g,capacitive touchscreen(far far better than resisitive),Latest touchwiz interface(User interface) and an excellent music and net connectivity then go for Monte ... Price Monte-8.8k Marvel-10.3k May it helps u...........

  • u r comparing marvel with monte only on the basis of camera,wat abt other features like 3g,touchscreen,Touchwiz Interface and music quality and ofcourse price..........

  • guys am Abhishek i own monte both marvel and monte are great phone... Marvel: 5 mega pixel auto focus unbeatable and phone memory 78 Mb will never affect the performance of the phone. But Monte: Capacitive touch screen is a long life, more responsive and better touch experience. Smart unlock in monte is a cool feature in which we can open application by swiping alphabets on screen and better User interface experience. Sound quality is great when compared, as monte comes with DNSE feature. Design: I feel monte is more slim and lite weight and sleek design then marvel

  • @ JAY 1. {http://www.samsung.com/sg/consumer/mobile-phone­/mobile-phone/style/GT-S5560LKAXSP/index.idx?pag­etype=prd_detail} The auto rotating screen switches directions according to how you holds the phone, helping maximize screen view when using rich multimedia functions. You can simply turn the mobile over to engage Etiquette Pause, which instantly mutes the mobile 2. {http://www.wirefresh.com/samsung-s5560} The S5560 features the curious sounding �Etiquette Pause� feature which Samsung bill as �a unique tool perfect for a hectic lifestyle.� We rather hoped that the feature may insert words like �please� and �thank you� into the mouths of surly goofs, but instead it�s just a means of silencing the phone quickly: turn the Samsung face down and it will temporarily pause the music being played and mute the sound of calls, texts and alarms. some of the sites mentioning about this feature

  • In samsung monte equitte pause is in settings -> Phone settings, but don't know abt Marvel

  • thanks mazdafan, it's way much better now opera 5 in fullscreen

These r d words by SAMSUNG on its official site for s5560 but dnt knw where r d settings to use dat feature? samsung plz help. check d site at d end of d page it is written under d title software- www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-­phone/style-phone/GT-S5560LJAINU/index.idx?paget­ype=prd_detail

  • i red d specs of dis fone on dis site gsmarena, there's nowhere mentioned dat dis fone has etiquette pause, if mentioned dn plz tel me where? n evn if it is mentioned den it is wrong info posted by dis site.

  • m a user of dis fone, i didnt found any sch system in dis fone, so there's not any sch system like equitte pause.

  • Using the feauter, if the phone is supposed to ring and vibrate putting it face down it will only vibrate, if it's on vibrate only settings it will keep vibrate once putted face down, and if it's on ring only settings it will turn on mute, then I think that the etiquette feature work only on audio, but since it doesn't touch the sound profile I think that would be easy for Samsung to add a setting that let the user select if vibrate or not, maybe in a future release...anyone know if it's possible to send advide to Samsung?

  • Hey dude if u r sayin dat jst to put an incoming call on silent is ETIQUETTE PAUSE, den its vry easy, whn a cal is coming jst pres d volume rockr key on d left side of d fone for 2 seconds d fone wil go on silent. try it. dnt knw wat u r sayin abt tilting d fone, cn u plz tel me in detail abt d tilting system n all.

  • There are a 2 type of touchscreen ... Resistive & Capacitive Disadvantages A standard stylus cannot be used for capacitive sensing, Capacitive touchscreens offer a lesser degree of accuracy than resistive touchscreens Resistive touchscreens are composed of two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air gap or microdots Resistive touchscreen technology works well with almost any stylus marvel have resisitve screen... it's touch response is way better than that of nokia 5800..

  • There is no such option in marvel... but you can avoid unwanted Calls by adding any number to reject list.

  • the videos that you will save through the pc studio will be saved directly in the phone memory. so you have to keep your phone memory available (upto 15 to 20 MB).. depending upon the type of video you will save in marvel. in your case phone memory is not enough.. THERE IS no option in this phone .. of saving it dirctly in memory card as far as i have gone through..

  • hey guyz.. finally got my hands on samsung star superb(marvel s5560) as i t is know in India. a very good yet trendy phone that what i think so. even little different features add up to the excitement when you start exploring the Samsung marvel s5560. im the user of nokia phones..but decided to buy my first touchscreen phone and that of samsung. i think i took the correct decision. touch interface was way better as compared to that resistive of nokia 5800.. simply moving your hands brings the desired result's.. the camera i found is pretty much decent.your getting 5 mega pixel camera at 10k.. what else can you demand. Although it's not Carl zeiss but it's picture quality are satisfying. flash works good.but if you expect it to work like that of big video cameras then it's not justified. flash is good in night for capturing close images up to 5 feet. audio sound through the speaker is what i didn't expected.i personally feel the sound you get is better at max level of (14). headphones that you get are superb.sounds great. each picture that you will click will eat memory between 1 to 2 MB. if you transfer songs or pictures through blue tooth from your friend fone then they will get stored in phone memory by default. you have to move them to memory card. i think this problem is also with samsung monte or corby series fones.. i guess... body of the phone is solid.. back cover doesnt allow finger prints to adjust easily on it. 3 page menu screen and 3 page main screen is very attractive.. few nokia phones doesnt have i guess including 5800.. but i heard about firmware update that nokia fones will get.. but for me it's a nice feature to have. gesture lock , fake call , smart lock are some of the features that are fun to have. there is 3 way of text input qwerty , t9 view , hand writing recog.. I THINK for a first timer this phone is fully loaded with good features and price is decent that is Rs.10,400(that what i paid).. I AM NOT COMPARING THIS PHONE WITH ANY OTHER BRAND. i am just giving my reviews. although other models might be having same features or more or less features.. BUT i am not concerned.. i got what i want and i shared my thoughts with you. may write again after scanning this s5560.. deeply. till then I'm Harry from delhi signing off.. *PEACE*

  • who told u dat monte has 2.8 inch screen,it has 3 inch screen, and my dear frnd as 3g spectrum has been sold in india and it will b launched from sept 2010,after that it will boom in the market, we don/t buy phone everyday so guus monte is much much better choice than samsung marvel(superb)

  • Thank u SANDEEP for your information, u r sure abou that right? do u know any other hand 5 mega pixel but the hand contain block message??? I realy thank you Please is there any one else know to answer my question???? Thank you

  • Samsung monte is better choice with 3g and capacitive touchscreen and much lesser rice than marvel,despite that it does'nt hv auto focus.........

  • Hi anon, wel ma frnd dis ph dosnt comes wit a slider keypad, its a bar form of ph. wit touchscreen intrface whr u'l get qwerty keypad on screen whn held horizontaly, i wud advice u a bar form of ph rather dan a slider coz bar is sturdy, simple n easy to handle evn wit single hand, whereas d slider makes it bit delicate, bt stil if u wanna buy a slider 1 dn u cn go 4 d corby slider series, like corby pro or txt.

  • can you slide a keyboard out like the samsing b3410 on this phone ?

  • Hi ritu, wel m a user of dis ph. if u r talkin abt d 5 mp cam, lemme tel u its gud jst 4 pics, nt 4 videos, tho its a 5 mp it dosnt gives dat gud result dat sm1 expects 4m a 5 mp cam, 1) d colours r fade 2) video is recorded nly wit 15 frames/sec. coz of which video quality is poor. 3) sound is nt recorded clearly, vry bad evn if compard wit nokia n 73. 4) d bigest prblm- video resolution size is nly 240*360, which while watchin in latptop if d video is stretcd fulscreen, d quality is afectd badly. Othrwise d othr features r gud, d ph is nice, bt jsj d othr big prblm is d inbox memory is jst 500, which d co. says bt it actualy stores nly abt 200 msgs aftr which its shows 'delete some msg' which is realy a big headache n realy annoyin.

  • hey guys.. picked up one yesterday.... over all, i must say a value for money phone.. the camera is good... the touch could have been better.. (capacitive).. but its k, keeping the price factor in mind... its got goodies like.... wifi... 5mp.. with auto focus.. user friendly.. may take a day to get used to the phone for some... surely worth the price.. go for it if u are looking at this price range... (around 200 - 220 us dollars.) :)

  • Ritu 5 megapixel quality is really good .In this mobile u will find very good LED flash which is really powerful.

  • If any one want to use 3 wallpaper in samsung marvel. Then download this software

  • Hi disha In my mobile 300 msgs are there . and still i am not getting any problem . Now you do two things hope it will work . 1- click on messgae icon then memory status and see ur text message status . By default this mobile will show you multimedia message status so you have to change for text message . 2- What ever things u download from internet or bluetooth it get saved in Phone memory ,ur all wallpapers and ringtones who are saved in Memory card if u have used once also by default it get saved again in phone memory . Now u click on my files .On above u will find ALL buttons change it to PHONE ,now delete every wallpapers sound clips ,ringtones ,images videos from there . I think it should do work . After that click on setting go to memory setting then click on default memory and change ur bluetooth ,camera voice recorder and everything to Memory card .

  • hi, thankx for ur replies, im nt sure where the service station is and secondly i wnt be havn ny phone if they keep this phne wid them... i dnt like ma dad's iphone and neither the HTC. Both are bricks.. Sandeep: I dnt thnk so dng factory settings will help instead it will delete all my msgs and numbers i thnk, nd also ma phne memory is empty nd nt full ive checked it.. Till nw only appx 25 or 30% of ma memory is occupied of the phne.. Its such a nice phne then y does samsung nt pay attention to these thngs, common, in the year 2010 where the competition is increasing y is samsung nt gvn basic features to its customers of more sms storage.. Just waitn for some sort of update to come so tht i can increase ma sms storage.

  • Hi I think ur phone memory is full . other wise restore the factory setting then it will work

  • Save the wallpaper in Phone memory then go to setting button and display and light after that wallpaper and then u can choose ur saved wallpaper .It will work . If not then u have to click on my files then go to ur saved wallpaper in memory card . Now after that u have to crop the wallpaper by clicking lower part of screen it will reduce the photo size and make ur wallpaper size equal to rectangle crop size and set AS A wallpaper . These are the two option first one is easy

  • how can i apply a wallpaper .. its resolution is 240x400.. even after i download in exat size the wallpaper cant be used... when i use set as wallpaper i'm gettin a box in it.... plz help how 2 set a wallpaper in samsung marvel.... thanks...

  • Hey hi disha, evn m a user of dis phone n i faced d sme problm, deleting msgs is realy a big headache, d solution is - if ur phone is in warranty period, go to d samsung service centre, show d bill of ur phone n tel dem to increase ur ph msg memory, its free of cost, no need to pay anythng, it'l increase ur msg memory to some extent, sure it'l help u, incase u dnt hav bil, u hav to pay jst rs. 120 which is nt a big deal. try it n plz let me knw.

  • Hi Frndz, I had taken this phone 4 mnts back, at tht time Monte was nt launched. I liked monte cz it suits on girls as it is more designer.. Nyways, I m facn a prob frm a lng time.. I have 142 msgs stored in ma Inbox and still it shows memory full delete some data, there r absolutely no msgs in ma outbox, sent or drafts. There are only 15 msgs in my folders... My phone memory also is empty cz ive deleted all tht was stored in phne... I was first disappointed seeing here that it supports 500 messages. but now i m more cz i cnt have ny solutn for ma problem, and i sorted my msgs by size also, all are 150 to 160b..Multimedia is also blank. In message memory it is showing me as 157/500 bt why is it nt takn more messages. Ill actually be xtremly grateful if some1 helps me out in this cz dnt like deleting imp msgs everyday. Thanks in advance.

  • didn't thought about this for a while, but today i have restarted the phone (which i do rarely) and now it's working as it should...

  • the video you make is pretty much clear in outdoor.. in fact the colours are bright but not over saturated.. it records at 15 fps.. which is low for an 5 mega pixel camera. but the still pictures are good.they are very much satisfying.

  • Is it possible to lock only certain folders in my files??

  • my dear friend it's you whose saying that camera may not be the prime concern.. are you saying on behalf of all the people. you wont be carrying your DIGITAL CAMERA wherever you go. and there is also big difference between fixed focus and auto focus. brother i would also like to point 1 thing that Monte doesn't have flash.. a biggest negative point. 3G. while some people surf net regularly from ther. mobile whilesome just want to have that feature in ther. set..but they might not use it. they might prefer using net from ther. computer. well 3G is an advanced technology.. but it is of no use for those who doesn't want to use it. 3G Services include wide-area wireless voice telephone, video calls, and wireless data, all in a mobile environment. it is also costly in some countries.. IN the end handwriting recognition is an feature that is fun to have.. although it might not have any prime use. QWERTY is also an feature that MONTE lacks. . WELL i must say both the phones have there own PROS & CONS.. and you are the better judge because in the end it's you who have to USE the phone

  • And wat abt 3g my dear friend camera is not a primary requirement of any phone and i think for better pics u can't depend upon mobiles weather it is 3 mp or 5 mp ,Digital camera are best suited for this purpose, and hv u compared a resistive touchscreen with a capacitive one , capacitive touchscreens are far far better than resistive touchscreens and we buy touchscreen phones for its touch sensitivity....... And also you cant do anything with handwriting recognization all of us types the msgs with keypad.......so i think monte is best buy if the camera is not ur first requirement.........

  • hello marvel owners. Pls tell me about d video recording with ds phone? Is ir clear ? Wat about d format of video? S it mpeq, avi, mp4? Pls share ur xperienc coz i want to buy one f its worthy to buy.. Thanks 4 dos who share der xperience..

  • there is no way that you can store messages in memory card. they get stored in Sim. total messages capacity is around 500 to 600(which Include inbox+sent items+outbox+draft..etc)

  • how do i increase message memory capacity??

  • DP I THINK YOU HAVE BROUGHTT AN FAULTY PHONE. PLZ CHECK. marvel doesn't give that problem.you can pause and resume without any prob..

  • who Say's that Monte have all the features of samsung marvel s5560. if you think so then your totally wrong ...or you are misguided by some 1. FEATURES THAT MONTE LACKS.... *MRVEL have 5 mega pixel camera + flash + autofocus...where as MONTE have only 3 megapixel camera. Also it doesn't have auto focus ,flash.IT IS AN biggest turnoff. . *MONTE doesn't have handwriting recognition. . *MONTE doesn't have qwerty keyboard on screen. . NOW I THINK it would not be fare to call a Monte best buy if we try to compare it with marvel s5560. THE difference in price money is not that much . IN INDIA Monte cost Rs.8,800(approx..) marvel cost Rs.10,300(approx..) ' EXCEPTION can be if you cant afford to shell RS.10,000 then you can go for Monte...

  • Look at samsung monte also it has all the features of marvel plus 3g and capacitive touchscreen , at a lesser price than marvel

  • this phone has one bug which is quite annoying,that is when playing a song in media player,if that song is paused it is unable to resume again,so to continue to listen to music one has to skip to the next or previous song!...

  • I just wanna ask that does samsung marvel support Facebook games.ie.Farmcille,cafe world??? Plz help me!!!!i really wanna have this phone

  • hey i was amazed with this phone..when i accompanied my friend when he was buying this phone. this phone is super packed for those who cant shell out money beyond 10,000 range. i mean it got everything in it. * a 5 mega pixel cam-flash-auto focus-smile detection. * qwerty keyboard and handwriting recognition s/w. * the touch interface is so cool.. a touch of finger will bring the result unlike the nokia 5800 touch interface which require double tapping. * 1 finger zooming is an nice feature. I cant wait to buy 1 for me.. will definitely buy with in two or three days.. cheers.!!

  • i dont think samsung is not doing a fair job in terms of phones,applications like You tube etx are not working at all!!!!!1

  • hi can anybody tell me how to remove the keypad from the game so that i can run full screen? please.

  • are there applications like document viewer PDF & e book reader installed with it? Tnxs

  • Hi all, Please help!!! i cant watch video in youtube using my phone marvel. it prompt a message that i need to connect ti wifi to run this application. Thanks

  • Everybody tells about this cell phone's camera,browser,music player,etc I wanna know if this is good as a Phone, does it has a good signal? good reception? are the signal bars always on top? just wondering!!!

  • I hv configured Wi-Fi in my Samsung monte as follows u can try on this set. 1. Delete the configured wireless connections 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. Hope this helps Let me know if it works for u

  • Hello, I really need help bad. I recently bought this phone, i like it alot but whenever i browse and play video on youtube it doesnt play it. i just says connecting and after several minutes the connection fails. please help me.

  • Dude this community is for s5560 owners or those who want to buy this phone. MY aim is to make them understand what are it's merits and demerits. ALTHOUGH what i stated is nothing if i start comparing Monte and marvel s5560 briefly. these phones are not smart phones. so you cannot wish to have everything in it.

  • Hi richa, Its upto u if u want better camera go for s5560 but if u want 3g,GPS and better touch response go for samsung monte all the other features r same,and also i think we need 3g as 3g spectrum has been launched in india,i m using monte from one month and i m quite happy with it.

  • Hi Dr sarah u definately need 3g after 3-4 months for only 5 mp camera u r spending rs 2000 more think again,we want a touch response not a press response in touch phones, Samsung monte has excellent touch responce.

  • No my dear friend (Marvel owner) i think monte is better because it has 3g, gps,220 MB Internal memory and capacitive touchscreen and has an excellent audio quality and u also hv 2 spent rs. 2000 less

  • while using wifi, when phone comes it gets restarted, is this problem with mine only........

  • Hi people, just wondering if there was a way to save a picture as my wallpaper just on the middle screen instead of having to stretch it over the 3 screens?

  • Great tips, Ashwani Agarwal. Will be looking into Opera Mini, but Samsung Marvel browser already gives PC-like experience with WIFI, and verry works verry fine with G2 too (only use it for mobile sites, not for youtube :-) Thanks a lot Michael

  • hey there Ashwani Agarwal, I never thought we can do that..thank you very much for the tip you gave there. its really a pain when you have to close your browser when somebody texts you or when you try to look for music files to play.. thank you again.

  • in India this phone is available as name Samsung Star Superb, i just bought it day before yesterday, its browser is really very very powerful, after connecting it to my WiFi router, it really gives PC experience, ,and Gesture Lock function is very cool, if we want to play music while we browsing web or doing other thing want to play music. then just press hold key[lock key], and draw the character which we set to open music play in Gesture Lock in setting, and press red button, and we are continue what we are doing,

  • you just need to install opera web browser to do so, we can minimize maximum 3 application at a time, so one of them minimize browser, and do what ever u want,

  • marvel is better than monte in many ways. 1.it have 5 megapixl camera.flash,autofocus,face detection. FROM astudent point of view autofocus can help you to click an paragraph and then during exam u just simply have to open the image quitely and then write on & on.... AUTOFOCUS help you to take sharp images which monte lacks. . 2.although it have curves at end but still it can give monte competition. . 3.smae features like monte (SMART UNLOCK) (3 PAGE MENUE) . 4.features that marvel have but monte doesnt (handwriting recognition) (qwerty screen keyboard) . 5.one negative point can be resistive screen.but we canmanage as we will be getting stylus. . 6.price (monte =RS.8,500) (marvel=RS.10,400) CURRENT PRICE IN THE MONTH OF MAY ,india

  • and one more thing monte dont have auto focus and flash whereas marvel has....!!!!

  • i was confused between them too but i finally made up my mind to marvel ... i mean who cares about the 3g missing in marvel???!! ... marvel has a wonderfull 5 migapixel camera while monte is only 3.2

  • buddies plz tell me how to increase msg capacity and how to use one touch email service of dis phone?

  • Hi folks, just wondering if there was a way to fit a photo onto the main screen instead of it stretching over the 3?

  • I bought this phone about a week ago, and like it quite a lot. Is there a way to switch between applications? I mean, if I'm using the browser, can I minimize it, make a phone call, and then return to viewing the webpage I left? Is there a way to quickly end the browser? So far I've done it by choosing "back" until I'm at the beginning of the browser's history... thanks for any help, guys (and girls) and may everybody keep enjoying their phones!

  • guyz please help me out. i am confused between samsung monte s5620 and samsung s5560

  • I just bought S5560 from Lahore for Rs.17000, its headphone is not working n when i connect it to speaker system, only 1 speaker works.. wht should I do?? I ve bought a brand new set, n facing problems.

  • Really good features and pricing, could do with better designed software... you CAN access messages while in a call, but its a bit tricky, press the call button, you can access your messages through the call log My suggested improvements are - - In call access to menu and all phone features - Call recording - Application manager to view running apps - Ability to create widgets for java apps - Automantic SMS sending from outbox once network is in range, background sending of messages, so you can do other stuff while its sending a msg - Threaded messages - SMILEYS ! how can a phone of this calibre not have smileys!?!? - Contact search - search outputs first AND last name matches - More precise battery meter - percentage wise - Radio and music keys on lock screen - Faster OS response, esp while playing music - Option of whether or not to run a minimal power saving mode or not when battery is low - it can be frustrating if you still have battery but can't use apps or camera OR music! - Backward counting message counter that alerts about number of messages WHILE TYPING :) - Copy and paste feature - Ability to send phonebook numbers as SMS not MMS - Ability to save messages to memory card - Divx and Xvid support, as well as higher mp4 bitrates and resolutions - Modifying added words to the t9 dictionary - Audio editor like the video editor And lastly with high importance, - BETTER SCROLLING IN THE MUSIC MENU! a moveable scrolling bar like the one in phonebook if nothing better! Hopefully this long list of suggestions can reach the right people in samsung, and they can come out with an update :)

  • the APN (WiFi) network you are trying to connect is password protected (Network Key). You need to fill that up..no need to fill up the IP..the key can be attained from the network administrator or from where that WiFi is located.

  • I have read in the specifications but i want to know practically how long does its battery last.... as i used to text a lot and listen music a lot too....!!! Thanx for telling me abt speakerphone quality....!!!

  • Battery life Stand-by Up to 620 h Talk time Up to 9 h 30 min the Sound with external speakers is not that loud compared to most Sony phones but this will do.. but with the headset it came with on purchase, it sounds good..and with its 3.5mm jack, you can even use your favorite headset you use on you computer or music players.

  • just buy it and test, so you will know. then if you dont satisfied, you can sell it to me 50% off. Okz?

  • I want to know about its Battery Life and its Music volume (means playing music without handfree)...please reply...!!!

  • Thanks a lot 4 valuable answer.

  • Hi Ken, from where did you purchase (which city) Samsung S5560 Marvel? how much did you pay exactly? I'm planning to purchase this. Please reply. Thanks in advance.

  • hey tushar..lots of free touch games on the internet..just do a search with google..or if you cannot find one for Samsung Marvel, try a search for games for Samsung Star or Samsung Jet, most of their games work for your Samsung Marvel. I got a good one for you (i hope its ok to post links here):

  • hi marie, you can turn off the sound by first go go camera mode. then touch settings (the gear at the lower left part of the screen), then touch settings again (upper right corner of the screen). you have shutter sound choices and then touch one setting that is OFF.

  • does anyone know how to turn off the shutter sound for the camera?

  • where can i download games for s 5560 for free

  • Hi Ken! Go to Menu -> Settings -> Profiles. After that press the arrows near the text. Now, at the top-right part of screen from the drop down menu select New message. :)

  • how if i can and ive tried for the last 3 days since purchase of this phone can i change my text message alert tone,,,please dont tell me i cant as 5 year old phones do,, i mean my own ,,not the ones supp by samsung

  • I had that same problem. The way I resolved it was: 1.- Launch the browser. 2.- Go to "settings". 3.- Select "Browser profiles". 4.- Add (or make sure) the wi-fi network you want is there and selected. 5.- Turn on the wi-fi. 6.- I had to powerdown my phone. After poweron, I could browse with no problems. Hope this works with you also.

  • Hi, I am using this handset since last 3 mnths & am facing a prblm to store msg's on my phn, as soon as my inbox counts hits to 140+ I have to delete some to get the new msg, so can anyone Help me to this how to solve this prblm?????????? Regards, Darshan Desai

  • THis is not a 3g phone.

  • hi friends. I just purchased this awesome set. But im facing a problem. I am unable to conect to the net with my wifi. Can anybody help me plz

  • Hello Suresh, hope you get this reply.. 1. The name may not appear because you have saved the same number twice, with a different name maybe, try checking that out. 2. I have also been searching so long for that, although I could not find the solution yet to the :Invalid format" error, the solution for "No memory available" is this: -Install all the games you want first. -On the main menu, open the admin settings *#5239870*# for Admin Settings *#7092463*# for Internals Master Key -go to Storage Settings -update Java DB twice. -exit and try again the game. 3. A guy from Samsung emailed me this link (http://kartikgajetech.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-­to-install-theme-in-samsung-star-3g.html) to change the theme, but I have not tried it yet because my phone is still under warranty, do not want to mess things up :-) Hope this helps.

  • Have purchased this Samsung Star Superb (S5560) from UniverCell, Bangalore at 10,850 Rs. I did enough research and had made up my mind for Nokia 5530. After going to shop, I looked at this model which had similar features as 5530. So I had two options. Finally I chose Samsung model due to following distinct features: 1) 5 MP camera with LED, so we can take pretty good snaps in dark. 2) Dictionary, Fake Calls, Handwriting recognition and many more fancy features. 3) Wifi � Good Internat speed. I have started using it more often instead of my laptop for chatting and quick mail check. 4) FM Radio with Recording facility � Very unique feature as it is not supported anywhere I guess. You can record anything playing on Radio. 5) Good English Vocabulary. 6) Battery is decent. 7) Sound Quality � Not that loud but appears decent enough. 8) Fake Calls � You can make an incoming calls to your mobile. This is much needed when you are stuck in some unwanted meetings and pray God to rescue from it. 9) Google Maps � Too Good and very fast with Wifi. I could locate my home and get directions anywhere I wish to go. It has landscape mode only for several applications but I heard that in 5530 everything becomes landscape as soon as it is held that way. Not sure though. Still exploring other features�� I don�t know if it was better decision over 5530 but with this handset in hand, I found it very great and feel value for Money. Have seen iPhone with some of friends and could see that all that features are easily available in this model.

  • I have only one question. This phone is windows mobile?

  • Hi...anyone pls help me with the GPRS settings for this phone...i have the settings from vodafone but they don't seem to work....guess it needs some additional DNS settings for configuring the GPRS which i am not aware of....

  • waiting for this unit almost 1 month alredy... there's no stock. is it limited stock or phasing out already?

  • Bought this phone two weeks ago. Made every test possible and it is really value for money. The only technical issue I found is that the storage setting goes back to PHONE even if I set it to external memory. GREAT PHONE!!!

  • No 3g???

  • tnx for replying.. does it have a group message? like sending one text message to a group of contacts? i am fond of forwarding jokes and i want it to be just once..

  • this is for all those S5560 users who wants to keep a very good wallpaper or theme to their cell, do this- 1) first download pics of your chice(cars/actors) having pixels 240*400. 2) now go to paint, minimize the white screen to size 720*400 with the mouse. 3) now click on "SELECT" button from toolbars options on left hand side. 4) place the cursor on the screen and right click and select "paste from" then select those file which you have already downloaded. 5)the pic will appear, do this procedure 2 times more the place those pics side by side, so that 3 pics will be placed in a line. 6) now save it in jpeg format and copy in your cell phone, then apply it as wallpaper. 7)you will get three picture all different and 1 pic will be seen at a time.

  • For a more accurate price tag, check your local retailer.

  • i was thinking of buying this one. kaya lng i have two important quetions: -is it multitasking? like you can send a message even you are on call? -is it quadband? can i use it in norway? thanks.

  • Its possible to change main menu background. You can do it @ settings - screen settings - main menu style. But if your wallpaper panoramic, only the middle part will be shown.

  • Does it have a virtual qwerty keypad (while rotating screen)

  • i have 2 question 1-is it possible to change the main menu background to any picture/wallpaper we like? 2-how was the earpiece quality?is it loud and clear even in the noisy environment? thanks~

  • I own a Blackberry and was interested in buying this for me in black and a white one for my gf. This mainly is because I like the design and how affordable it is. My SIM is prepaid so I can activate any internet service I want at any time so data plans don't matter to me. My main questions are: 1- do you get html push email? Like from hotmail or yahoo? If so, how good is it and how many accounts can I have on it? 2- apps. Are the Facebook and Twitter widgets fully usable apps or shortcuts to the mobile sites? And what about IM clients. I know of eBuddy but does this support it and apps like Bolt Browser or Opera Mini? 3- can this multitask like SE phones? Basic app switcher stuff. That's about it. Hope to get your opinions soon! Thanks, people!

  • the phone is quite lovely but i'm havin a problem gettin on the internet...the wifi finds the connections but i still cant use it....anyone else have this problem?

  • i think i have the same problem. supposedly pressing/holding the unlock button allows for such, but strangely it doesn't...

  • i have around 200+ messages and no, it doesn't get slower. loading up messages or the inbox folder is still very zippy.

  • hello, my phone is not connctng to d bluetooth on my laptop. how can i connct my laptop n my phone?? m in deep trouble please help!

  • Looks like no one as an answer for my question..... this is the second time i am posting my question. Guys need help....when you are on a call, just imagine you get a SMS, how do you view the SMS without disconnecting the call? I have checked every possibe option ..but it doesnt seem to work ???? Any help would be highly appreciated.... Cheers-

  • oh i see. that's kinda limited considering that my SE p990 can store 1000+ messages which compose all folders. For example if samsung marvel reaches nearly 500 messages, will it become slower?

  • this is a really good phone for its price. the good: -camera. it's really good compared to others out there. not the best indoors or in poor lighting conditions but that is to be expected. -touchwiz. very easy to use. the screen is resistive, yes, but the interface is very finger friendly. no stylus included probably because it's not necessary. -size. it's quite thin and light, but because the back is a matte finish, it doesn't feel cheap or flimsy. -text input. the qwerty landscape keypad is really easy to get used to and the alphanumeric portrait keypad is very responsive. -3.5mm headphone jack. i can connect my decent headphones for decent sound quality. -wifi. the internet browser is good. wifi internet browsing and a good 5mp camera w/ flash at this price point makes this a winner. the bad: -camera placement. it makes it very easy to touch the camera lens when typing qwerty. i wish it were placed nearer to the edges instead of the center. -non-smartphone. actually i was choosing between this and the slightly more expensive i5700 galaxy spica, which runs android. i chose this because of better cam. i'd choose the marvel over any symbian touchscreen phone right now, though. -background music player. when music is playing in the background, the phone becomes noticeably slower, even if i'm just trying to type a text message. -limited themes. i wish it had more themes available, maybe for download. -no microSD card included. surprisingly, it includes the microUSB cable here in the Philippines. microSD cards are really cheap now, though. i bought an 8GB SDHC and it works great. it's a really good featurephone, which unfortunately doesn't make it a smartphone. if wifi and a good camera are all you really need though, you'll be contented with this. design: 9 features: 8 performance: 8

  • simply the best

  • 500 text messages, i believe on your phone memory. inbox messages are saved on the sim by default. the 500 includes sentbox, template, and outbox items.

  • Is this device able to stream from youtube?

  • Hi friends, can any one tell me whether this phone can be installed with a good comprehensive English dictionary

  • Awesome Phone.......

  • From the reviews given on here it would be impossible to know if this phone is good or bad. Some people seem to expect so much from this phone but I don't know why? Looking at many reviews on the web it doesn't feature that high compared with other similar phones??

  • awesome phone.......

  • does the sound quality in earphones that good??

  • which is better? 5560 or 5233?

  • Another thing I don't like about the phone is the fact that all the games that are pre-installed would just be trial versions. You are prompted to purchase the game after giving it a try. That just sucks...

  • I bought this phone about a month ago, so far the only issues that I have would be typing the text messages. I always use the full qwerty on screen keyboard since I find it a bit difficult to use the multi touch on screen keypad. The problem I see is that the letters are a bit small that's why most of the time I end up pressing another one instead. I also find the browser a bit sluggish and connecting to a WiFi network takes sometime. Though the thing I like about this phone is the camera since it's better than most of the touch sensitive phones in the market.

  • This phone is also known as superb

  • I bought this phone and overall its a good phone, however music sound quality is poor. When i listen to the same song on my phone as well as via itunes on my computer there is a marked difference in the quality. the sound on the phone is more tinny and staticy. pity really because all the features are good, but the quality in my opinion is not quite there yet.

  • Samsung-- increase msgg capacity. 500 mssg sucks the phone

  • Hi Kinldy increase message saving capacity. The cheaper phones around Rs 3000 are having msg saving capicity around 1500 - 2000. due to the msg saving capicity this phone has dropped its sale. Samsung needs to increase msg saving capacity - minimum 1000 inbox and 1000 sent items - Or give any option of saving msg on memory card.- This phone will fly

  • Dude it depends on what length and what kinda data the message u are having....its not number of message its the number of databits ur messages are using :) ANyhow am also planning to buy this model for my brother.. seems to be decent..

  • Great phone, and classy in white. Very loud loudspeaker, even louder than my previous Star. Same video resolution QVGA 15fps but video look much better. For 180 euros here in Bangkok can't see any better phone, so easy to use. Bought it to my girlfriend, loves it.

  • Suresh, thank you for your information !!!

  • PLZ read back before you write something here! You can use search, so enter a word and you'll find your answer! There're so many question which have been answered before! (sound quality and same...)

  • Set one more DHCP user in you router, and after it do this in your phone: WiFi: Menu => Settings => Network settings => Connections. Create a new one. Enter a name and below it choose WiFi. SSID = the wifi name you want to connect to, or search one. Below choose WPA2 then TKIP. Enter the password if the wifi locked. HTTP protokol. That's all. It's works fine for me.

Very nice phone if you ask me, just like samsung star only with 5 MP camera. 2. Led is effective but if you do a *#0*# to use mega cam, it doesnt work. 3. the speaker is not very loud, but the quality is good. 4. but with the earphones, the sound/music experience is much better, with lots of choices on the presets.

  • Hello everyone, i did something stupid to my phone last night, I entered admin settings and then internals and then was just curious on the contents, i set the debug settings to high, now im stuck on the a startup screen that says "UPLOAD data to pc". can someone help me on this? it would be very much appreciated.

  • Sound quality is superb... n b'coz of so many presets,it will surely drive u crazy.. Superb sound quality, 3.5mm Jack, ear-in headphones, touchscreen, 5MP camera with impressive shots, wifi, better battery backup, at such a price it is lot more than expected..

  • through +/- buttons(buttons through which we generally adjust our music player volume), whn ur msg is open... just adjust ur font size as per required, by pressing +/- buttons...which i think is in right side

  • Between nokia 5800 and Samsung s5560...i think if you dont require 3G then Samsung is better...

  • cons- No multitasking, while on a call you cannot access the sms

  • samsung star wifi and Marvel5560 diference is the 5 Megapixel Marvel's camera. Marvel is smaller in size.

  • can you upload pictures sent through bluetooth from this phone onto your computer/laptop if so how?

  • Guys need help....when you are on a call, just imagine you get a SMS, how do you view the SMS without disconnecting the call? I have checked every possibe option ..but it doesnt seem to work ???? Any help would be highly appreciated.... Cheers-

  • For Rahul, you could just simply adjust the sound by using the preset equalizer like jazz,pop,rock, surround etc.

  • can imake grope calling

  • Just press the up key of the volume...

  • Plz gsmarena team...PLEASE REVIEW THE PHONE!! We all are waiting for expert's review coz everyone here is just creating confusion. Thank You!!

  • The headphone sounds so great dude.Very satisfied.Cool cellphone.

  • over all the mobile is good except few features 1.web pageges r minimized,takes a lot of effort to read 2.There is no way to change the Fm radio sations or move to next song using headphones buttons,it can be used only to make call to the the last caller.this a large draw back.so every time u wanna change fm station u have to use touch screen Nokia and almost all other phones have tjhis feature

  • hi can anyone help me find out how can i increase the font size for text messages in the fone, i cound not find any options...in settings ... i fount the option for font style but not size

  • Yes Stylus is included with Samsung Marvel (superb)

  • The sound quality I feel is not that good but yes you have good bass which makes you forget about other things.

  • hi sud... i'm using this set.. the touch is not so good bcoz its resistive and most of the samsung sets have capacitive... led flash is very effective.. battery is good.. phone is fast... 5 mp camera is not up to the mark.. sound quality is good.. rest if anyone has any queries can mail me at [email protected]

  • i have noticed with this phone that if you want to use a photo for a wallpaper or call ID and a song for a ring tone or alarm, even if they are all saved onto your memory card it then makes another copy of this but on the phone itself. can anyone tell me how to stop this? or must you have certain things on the phones battery so that you can use them?

  • Plz some1 reply my doubts. 1.How is pic quality? 2.Is LED effective? 3.Is speaker loud enough and has good sound quality? 4.How is sound quality in earphone? Plz reply.....

  • I have bought this phone and I must say that I am extremly happy with the handset. Lovely feel with a beautiful screen. The battery is excelent. Even with very heavy use of wifi it managed two days. Only drawback for this phone is the 15fps QVA video playback quality. It can take perfect pictures though. I paid £130+£10 top-up... So far.. Well worth the money!

  • will somebody plz teel me da sound quality of dis phone through earphones???

  • you have to press the border of the box till it highlights red then you have to drag the hand outwards so that the whole wallparer gets selected

  • Hi!!!! To my dear brothers and sisters out there, I am back once again to give you the best suitable video format for this phone. Now let me tell you one thing before I proceed with the settings of the videos. You will get the most optimum clarity and video experience only if the original video file that you have is absolutely perfect. Please keep this in mind always. I found this after doing hell lot of research on my brothers handset the samsung star. Please copy and paste the steps mentioned below or if you can remember it well and fine:- 1]. Install "SUPER VIDEO CONVERTER" by eRightsoft or "FREE VIDEO CONVERTER" by Koyotesoft in your system. Now the reason I am telling you to download and install this application is because it is totally free and you can use it forever without worrying about registration. 2]. This phone has 5 megapixel camera and has the capability to record videos in QVGA format and is capable of playing it. But luckily it supports the playback of WQVGA format as well. OK! I think I confused you a lot. So In simple words I mean to say that it is capable of playing 16:9 resolution video as well but only within the range of QVGA resolution. 3]. Once you install any of these video converter in your system please do the following settings before converting the video file: SUPER VIDEO CONVERTER --------------------- Add the multimedia file in the list then, Output File Format: "MP4" Output Video Codec: "MPEG-4" Output Audio Codec: "AAC-LC" Video Scale Size: "320 x 176" Aspect: "16:9" Frame / Sec: "25" Bit-rate: "768 kbps" or "816 kbps" {for video} Sampling Frequency: "44100" or "48000" Channels: "2" Bit-rate: "160 kbps" {for audio} Finally, Click on the "Encode" Button Don't do any thing extra other than the above mentioned settings rest of the necessary things are selected by default. FREE VIDEO CONVERTER --------------------- Add the multimedia file in the list then, Output Format: "MP4" Video Codec: "MPEG-4" Size: "320 x 176" Aspect: "16:9" Fps: "25" Bitrate: "768 kbps" or "816 kbps" {for video} Audio Codec: "AAC" Frequency: "44100" or "48000" Channels: "Stereo" Bitrate: "160 kbps" {for audio} Finally, Click on the "Convert Video" Button Don't do any thing extra other than the above mentioned settings rest of the necessary things are selected by default. ENJOY!!!!! Your Videos. BYE!!!!!

  • what is its gprs satting can somebody help me it shows dns fail what that means

  • which video format does this cell supports? please help.....

  • dats what i want to know as well as it is sooooo annoying having to delete them all the time

  • Hi!!!! To all my dear brothers and sisters out there. I have a solution for you if you are willing to install third party applications into your samsung marvel. First you need to browse the website where the .JAR file of the application you want to install in your phone is available for download through your phones browser using Wi-Fi or GPRS feature. Then simply click on the download option on that web page, you can observe that the application will be automatically installed in your phone. I came to know this from my brother who is using samsung star. He has installed tea shark browser and some games in his phone through the GPRS. You too can do some research on it and see for yourself. Hope someone among you may definitely follow my instructions mentioned above. I will also be posting the perfect format to convert your favorite videos / movies in your marvel in my next post. Enjoy it!!!!. BYE!!!!!!

  • hi May i know what is ".JAR ext". What is usage of your link??

  • Sorry to say this but mine is excellent 2 full days battery backup with approx. 4 hrs of music and wifi surfing.

  • bought this Samsung S5560 phone 4 days ago (Gifted to my Wife) For camera, sound and touch screen technology - Congratulations. 5 MP camera is not up to the mark - The camera is the best that i have seen in this class, i mean really good. Result is like an ordinary mobile phone camera. When you say ordinary phone which phone are you referring to? Flash is very bad, LED flash is really good takes better pics even in night. One should not expect quality like dedicated Digital Camera from Mobile phone. Yeah i agree with you, coz digital camera is made to take pics..where as this is a phone with built in camera, however i disagree with you for the camera clarity and quality SE cybershot series or Nokia N series is better for Camera. Not all the Nokia N series camera's are better. As far as SE is not concerned i have heard its better but i have never used it so cannot comment on that Sound is ordinary - only in though phone speakers, i meant to say it is not loud enough but its got the clarity. also with earplugs - I disagree the sound thru ear phones are amazing, the best ear phones i mean ear phone quality is good. Just like Nokia Phones - no comments. Music Lovers should not try any phone other than SE Walkman series. W810i - Crystal clear sound - Guaranteed. I don't understand why SE discontinued that quality model. Touch screen and other features of S5560 are very good. Nobody can beat within the price range - Well said...the touch sensitivity is really good, and even the price range is extremeley good. No issue about reception quality. Very Good - I agree Not tested on Wi-Fi - Same here never tested on WI FI. Still, lot of scope for improvement - I agree lot of features can be added and the existing one can be improved to perform much better. Overall its good touch screen instrument power packed with lots of features for 10K INR to start with. Value for Money. My comments. Video streaming is pretty neat, Buffers very quickly, but slighlty lags in play back. But it depends on your network signal strength. P.S.: Dont try to stream videos from youtube thru GPRS or EDGE, coz it will cost a lot. I paid 70 INR/= for a 8 min clip. Has a time delay when u want to a answer a incoming call, you press the answer button and after 3 or 5 secs it gets connected. Phone's Vibration mode is strong enough to wake u up from sleep ...lol!!!

  • i want to buy this mob is the camera quality is nice ,is sound quality is nice.how about handling,please send ur comments

  • dude m using dis phone n hav also used d wi-fi, it works properly n dat yo wit gud speed, jst chck weathr d wi-fi u r using is unsecured or not if its secured n is showin a lock sign whn u turn d wi-fi on den it wil nt wrk, eithr it shud b unsecured or u shud knw d passwrd.
