Please transfer all your contacts to SIM before flash the latest S5230XEIG2 fimware, almost I tried all the firmwares available for STAR, but I could'nt sync property with PC Studio in this firmware. I cannot transfer my backup contacts through PC Studio in this firmware.

        ovais, 13 Jul 2009I have found a way to read messages or open other app. duri... moreI got a bit excited about this - but then I se there is only a handful of APPS you could open using the gesture facility why on earth didnt they put all apps that you could open by gesture. I wanted to be able to do your solution but select the voice recording app whilst on a call and the voice recorder isnt in that list u can open up by using gesture!

              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

                  There must be someone in the UK can give me a hands-on answer to this question... with half hour of calls, 100 texts, half hour internet usage each day how long is the battery going to last between charging? Thanks.
