        Hi today morning when i received an sms the screen got freezed .The touch is not working at all am able to use the three buttons at the bottom but not able to keypad, phone book and menu. tried removing battery, sim card, memory card also but of no use. earlier also some one had complained the problem i had searched it in forum but not able to get it. am able to receive calls and dial only a particular number who had called me by using left side button. Is it a firmware bug or some kind of hardware failure.

        Pls any help from any one

              Ashley, 11 Aug 2009Can this phone watch videos off the net?yes. you can watch videos in 3gp and mp4 format. you need a converter. Find the below information shared by one of the GSM Arena friend:

              1]. This phone is capable of playing videos up to 30fps trust me. Because I have converted 8 movies for my younger brothers phone. He too owns this beauty.

              2]. You must download an application called Free Video Phone Converter from www.koyotesoft.com. It's absolutely free.

              3]. Add video files into the given box of this application.

              4]. Select the output format as 3GP

              5]. Set the Parameters as given Below:-

              Video Settings:-

              Codec : MPEG-4
              Size : 320 X 240
              Aspect : 16:9
              fps : 25 (recommended)/ 30
              Bitrate : 512

              Audio Settings :-

                      In this price range, this is the best phone. i mean touch screen, big screen, 3.2 MP Camera, Memory card, Bluetooth, almost every possible feature. It is a really nice phone. the only drawback i felt was lack of Flash. Rest everything is prefect, those who are thinking of buying it, go for it! you wont regret it

                        great phone as long you dont want to take photos. it looks great just a baby pixon. but without a flash well they should have not bothered. every photo is under exposed. even in broad daylight. i had one. i know what i am taking about. it was a quick change for a S5600 and never regretted it.

                        shame samsung you could of had an awesome phone. as it is its a brilliant bland mobile.

Internet speed depends on ur operator and not much on phone. n95 is 3g and gives more speed over 3G network. if u want 3g then take s5600 instead of s5233.
