          This is a nice phone...looks gud....battery is nice..but takes lot of time to charge..music is gud...clarity is nice...plays movies in mp4 format with 30fps with gr8 clarity...its really bright ..today i was wall-e and that was too nice...but some movies stuck in between saying unsupported format or incorrect bitrate...
          apart from that features are nice..touch screen is gud..nowhere in front of i fone..which i lost few days back,but still its nice in this price band...
          I suggest you people not to experiment with the phone too much...use its already provided features...its cool....
          I am very gr8 full the party people out here for all their support..this si a nice place to know more abt any fon....

          Thanks a lot

                  nik, 06 Jul 2009thanks man... u truly are the king here :-) just one las... morego for the star...
                  its durable, considering the number of times i had accidentally dropped it from my hand, and the number of times i use it with water on my fingers etc etc.

                  cam, call quality, video... go for star without second thoughts. n music will satisfy u in every aspect, all though its not mind-blowing like the expressmusic series.
                  go for star.

                      I have owned a LG viewty KU990 and I have this Samsung S5230.I have found no difference between the touchscreen on both. To me they both 'lag' and I dont find one more responsive to the touch than the other one. I have yet to try out touch screen on i-phone which I am told is excellanbt and more responsive technology.

Then when on call you have to press the 'more' on bottom right of screen and the I think it says record call or record conversation or something like that.

                          just want to ask,

                          do i need to charge the phone for so many hours if its new? 'cause someone said that i have to charge the phone overnight or so after the initial charge of the battery is drained since the time it was first used. will it improve the battery performance if i charge it overnight or so after it drains out?

                          thanks in advance again. and feel free to suggest on how to improve my battery. thanks a lot ^^,
