    hello king,

    welcome back dude...

    just one Q for u,
    u said, u use creative ep-630 headphones with a 3.5mm adapter.

    did u purchase samsung's 3.5mm adapter??
    and does the sound quality gets that much improved ???
    (B'coz i've seen u cursing the music Q of star in th past)

      Anonymous, 17 Aug 2009Hi all I a need to buy a phone and this fone got my eye ... morehello dude,

      I've seen 5800 and i own a star myself, here's my take on it:

      Battery life - 5800 is Bad, STAR goes upto 2 days without charging (avg no of call +music+cam+games+little web surfing+some videos)

      Music - music Quality of 5800 is the BEST!! no comaparison here..

      Good picture - STAR does nt hav autofocus, but Cam pic Quality is way better than 5800

      Appropriate screen - with widgets and 3 home screens star scores better.
      memory - STAR is upgradable upto 8gb, and it wont run slow when u start fillin up mem card unlike nokia 5800/or any symbian phn.

      Good navigation - Definately Star is faar faar better than 5800

                  Finally bought this awesome handset yesterday from Indraprastha in Borivali (W) in Mumbai. Had been doing research for the phone and had shortlisted Samsung Star & HTC Touch VIVA as wanted a Touch screen handset.
                  But finally went for this for the offer i was getting & the VFM and the usability of the phone also.
                  Got this for Rs.8400 + Rs.650 for 4 GB MicroSD (with warranty)+ Rs. 250 for scratch guard.
                  Just getting in terms with the functions of the phone, but for the price i paid its an amzion fon. Just 2 things based on 1st impression, though u dnt requried a stylus, the one provided should have been one which can go into a slot on the fon instead of as a dongle which is ugly.Also the headsets suplied ar pathetic..
