          Star is a great phone with reasonably low price and high on feature. The comparetively new nokia 5530 will find it difficult to compete specially their non touch centered os . Wifi and gps will not come cheap.

              Anonymous, 28 Aug 2009They have bought their own phones and bring it back to thei... moreHonestly do you have any idea how many units they sale annually or even quarterly??? I guess that's out of your knowledge.

              In Q2 i.e 3 months, they have sold 52.3 million units. The are targeting to sale 200 million units in 2009.

              Is it absurd to think that out of those 52.3 million phones, 5 million were Star?

                    [deleted post]For your information Samsung have sold over 10 million touchscreen phones in 2008. This is 2009. That figure is going higher as we speak. They own nearly one-third of the touchscreen market.

                            Pity!
