Just now i compare the star 5233 & 5530XM.
Price difference is 2,800 Rs, so i can wait for 5530.
Kinetic scrolling is not a problem for 5530XM, it can be made just by future frimware updates.
5530XM also has accelerometer, 3.2mpix with led flash, 3D surround sound thru loudspeakers, there is metallic finish, wifi receiver, contacts bar upto 20 in homescreen and three modes of homescreen available, 4gb card included, ovi suite, tons of apps and games available, new transition effects in S60 UI, stylus included, and lot more to told about 5530XM.
So, i can wait.
5233 star is nice but after the release of 5530XM may kill this samsung star.....,.

                  In reference to italo maia's post;

                  This is a mobile phone, not a PDA. If you read the reviews and looked at the specification, you might have figured that out yourself.

                    It shows 2295 char while typing sms.
                    just subtract 160 from it dude..... (hehehe)
                    and u'll know the limit of 1 sms

                    (2295-160 = 2135)

                    keep typing untill char stays above 2135.......
                    (Plus, when u r done with msg typing, just see above the space where senders name appears, it shows u the count of no. of messages (i.e. 1/15 or 2/15) there u'll know how many msgs u've made...

                    enjoy!!!

                      5530Xm definately has 3pts up than STAR,
                      1. Music Q 2. Symbian OS 3. Wifi

                      but it is bound to loose ground in front of star on following pts
                      1. Delay in OS (Same prob with all S60 phones), u press a button & wait for 5-10 sec (minimum) for anything to appear on screen (hehehe)
                      2. Same boring user interface
                      3. No kinetic motion while scrolling (as in iPhone, Cookie,STAR etc) 4. Touchscreen sensitivity
                      5. No widgets 6. only one home screen(STAR has 3)
                      7. Camera Q 8. No photo contacts
                      9. No accelerometer based Gallery 10. High price

                      11. They'll giving 4gb card free & increasing th price, instead, in STAR u cn buy 4 gb card @just 350-400Rs.

                      U still wanna wait for nokia 5530???

                              Star vs 5530XM(nokia)

                              It like comparing the Alto vs i10

                              the price difference is huge the Star sells for Rs.9000(8800 in my city) or lower Nokia 5530 will sell for atleast Rs.13000

                              So if hav the money & can wait wait,,,

                              if u dont want to spend abt 30% more
                              for some apps u will use once or twice
                              & get stuck with a bad camera u will used every once in a while go ahead buy the 5530

                                  chiru973, 03 Aug 2009buddy u can buy 8gb @ 700 Rs in Bangalore u missed it. while buying do check the class of the SD cards

                                  SD cards are rated by class (not just MicroSD)

                                  A Class 2 means a card with a speed of 2 MB/s or higher is guaranteed at the best fragmented state where no memory unit is occupied.
                                  Class 4 - 4MB/s
                                  Class 6 - 6MB/s
                                  Class 10 - 22MB/s

                                    check the video quality of the below file
                                    http://www.sendspace.com/file/ex6073 5.67MB
                                    i have ripped at 300Kbps (avc Video) @ 15Fps
                                    128Kbps (AAC Audio)
                                    source dvd (VOB container)

                                    dont use 25Fps for ripping
                                    15 frames/s is more than enough

                                    download the file and watch it in ur star and reply
