HI guys I own this fone(S5233 with WI-Fi), just got few days ago and Im very satisfied with it. And I want to share my review with it....

Cons:
* You cannot do multi-tasking - So when youre on the web and u got a message, U'd have to exit the web and read ur message.

* You cannot send multiple message to more than 10. Ten recipients are only allowed for group messaging.hmm


Pro's

* The best user interface! With widgets and three homescreens!

* Although its only a resistive screen, its still responsive! - Even when you put screen guard film on the screen! Im loving the qwerty keypad on the screen.. even the regular keypad. Perfect for texting...

* Calls are clear! Im surprised.. even when youre on loudspeaker...

* Signal reception is great! I should know because I have two phones..

* Who says its hard to install games and java applications?? Just download any jar files, save it on your memory card and u can easily install it in your phone.. Different from other samsung phones..


Question: please answer this..
* How do u open another page when you're on the web? The review for Star(w/o Wifi) says you can open tabs for a maximum of five.. I cant do that here in My StarW

* How to record calls, I cant seem to find one in the menu during calls!

* Is there a way to put your messages on the memory card?? I can only store up to 500 msgs..

* Where can I download games and applications specifically for my StarW? Kindly post a site


Please do answer..thank u

                              just some questions regarding the features which are absent in previous samsung models...

                              1) are we able to download themes to customize the phone?
                              2) can we set mp3 as the message tone?

                                      Couldn't find (absent feature) voice dialing, I consider this a large omission, as it uses bt or hands free. Had to try 4-5 times when first time connecting to logitech bt mic.
                                      The application will not install correctly or fully work (sync) under win 7 64bit, had to transfer data from old nokia through my other pc.
                                      Could use incremental search (with preview) through phonebook.
                                      Call quality is simply great. Easy to use. The finish catches stains easily.
                                      Screen is bright, and everything is clearly seen, which was the main reason I bought this phone.
