                  Hi all! I've found a good offer for buying this phone. What's ur idea about the overall quality? are you satisfied with buying it or u would avoid buying it now? does it have realling long lasting battery and a good antenna as Nokia and SonyEricsson have?
                  Thank you all in advance for ur responses

                      And another thing:
                      I don't know way is used MSM (ie. MSM6250/MSM6250A) to control S5230 with MultiLoader, when Samsung GT-S5230 use SoC (system on a chip) chipset BCM21331 (208 MHz ARM9 + 139 MHz DSP) and it should be used BRCM2133, which I used many times with success.

                        Anyone tried this firmware version S5230XXIE7?
                        Is there any difference found between S5230XXIE7 and S5230XEIG2? Why are there two different series available in S5230 firmware, XX & XE?
                        Did u all people found that after updating the phone our phone model shows S5230 which was previously showing as S5233A

                                    1.the hold button now behaves differently. previously 2 consecutive presses on the HOLD key would unlock the screen immediately but now u have to hold key for 2 seconds before screen unlocks.

                                    2.also the play-pause glitch has been rectified in this version.
