      kar, 24 Jun 2009i am wondering why the pics and tunes that are in my memory... moreyeah everything that u use for wallpaper, main menu background image, ringtones and contact images, everything gets stored in the phone memory evn if it is already there on the memory card.
      i made a separate folder and kept all such files in the folder in the phone memory. the OS accesses from there.

        i am wondering why the pics and tunes that are in my memory card gets ADDED to the phone memory when used as wallpaper and ringtone.
        Does it mean, all files used as wallpapers and ringtones gets read from the phone memory and not from the card?
        if thats the case we got to regularly free the phone memory.

          i bought my samsung star s5233s last June 14. I know the 5230 doesnt have stylus compartment. It's a good thing that i was able to get the S5233s model which i guess is the model available in the Philippine market. so loving it, it has stylus compartment and i belive it has 100mb memory. Im not really sure thoug. But my phone says 72mb free memory. I have lots of music, photos, videos in my phone. So i assume mine has 100mb capacity. Great phone. definitely worth my 9890Php. :)

            Any idea how you can install games directly through PC and USB. I tried but it doesn't allow to do that. I am forced to upload to some free wap site and then download through EDGE/GPRS on to the phone. This is leading to very high GPRS bill for me. Can anyone help?

              Parithosh, 24 Jun 2009Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. :S @Anuj, K... moreyeah parithosh even i sumtimes get that problem. the audio comes before the video. but after converting the movie i get about 250 mb size for each movie (from 700 mb).
              one option to prevent this is not to fast forward the movie while watching. otherwise this thing will occur. but it still does occur at odd times. i've used about 3 to 4 different converting softwares but still it persisits.

                Dishary, 24 Jun 2009nice look but problem that it's no flash light so i am confusedDo you mean no flash for the camera? - if so dont worry it still takes lovely bright sharp photos (for a mobile phone) and it has exposure settings and night shot.

One of the features I was going to go for the LG Cookie was because it had the built in compartment for an included stylus. Regardles what people on here say about using your finger on here to touch I still believe there are loads of times using a stylus would be more handier and more accurate.
