                i purchaced samsung star s 5230 a week earlier.
                its very nice looking phone with smart features,
                fully touch screen,nice battery life.
                but it lacks themes and software downloads..
                but value for money phone,
                rich look

                    btw, who makes these new firmwares?

                    if samsung does, why dont they post these firmwares on their sites?

                    and why will it void the warranty if you upgrade the firmware?

                    thanks!!

                                shortcuts to display settings, profile settings and a separate menu for java applications wud've been better.

                                yes in touchscreen phones it is usual that when we touch the topmost area, a page displaying the signal strength, battery strength, and other useful info to be displayed.

                                the widget bar should come out only when we touch on the widget tag (the arrow at the bottom). and a touch on any part of the screen should lead to the main menu.

                                        dont you just wish in the settings u could have an option to remove the slide out widget bar altogether and that when you tap on the speaker icon at the top of the screen it would put phone into silent profile or shortcut to the sound profile menu instead of it sliding out the widget bar. its only logical to have it this way but somewhere along the way the manufacturers dont see this. where is the logic in that touching any part of the screen that the widget bar must slide out!
