The numbers seem to be too high for Samsung. I don't believe they live that well. At least I don't see any evidence. Sorry.

    [deleted post]no I think your wrong I think apple customers are just that naive :). Why are they even compareing this to the iphone it cost like 4-5 times more. Samsung is delivering great products in every segment and the star is the best buy for it's segment.

      [deleted post]5 million sales in just 4 months and as it seems it made you feel insecure. Are you challenging their sales figure? When they post any figure they mention SamsungMobile and this one particularly is for STAR. When GSMarena did a review sometime back, they have also mentioned that it was selling like millions a month. So lets not make a sad face. iPhone is not everything. There are others who are making profit too.

        Im so glad. A month or so ago the lg cookie had the same headline, and that's one handset which shouldn't be bought.
        I told everyone to stop and buy the star instead and i recieved some bad vibes from greedy cookie monsters. Now look, Samsung owe it all to me!!! ; )

          i'm not shocked...samsung gives best cheap solution : touchscreen for people,,nice features,,great ui compared to symbian 5th edition and winmo os...samsung touchwiz of star has very responsive touch n ui operation,,but of course don't compare to iphone and samsung jet...actually next nokia 5530 has better features and function but the important things for me : symbian os (N97,idou,omnia hd) can't match touchwiz ui although omnia hd also has toucwiz homescreen...i prefer to take jet...congrats samsung!!

                            Jeezz.. Samsung Star has in 4 months already sold 1/4 of total number of units Apple has sold since 2007.. I guess Samsung must be dominating the smartphone market with this phone.. am i right Apple fans?
