                Nice feeling with apply single wallpaper covering the all three area.
                Its better then merge and set wallpaper for three images.

                  Yes, you rae right. Actually its feature and UI rich but poor chipset phone. To make the cost in budget or to compete with other. The phone is little bit slow in exprience. But that delay is acceptable.
                  You can feel that delay in normal use too.
                  The delay is between user action and its recognition.
                  Processer took time in resource allocation and execute current assigned task.
                  In samsung in 18-20 K phone multiprocesser is coming as they claimed other brandes also have. On that phone you can do parrelel work. Even with java play you can have audio player in background on those phones (need confirmation before buy).
                  Don't werry its not only with your phone. Its with all phones.

                    briggy, 22 Jun 2009hey devinder, king, anyone who mastered this fone, as i'... moreDear Briggy,

                    Its a standered phone feature. Its actually a basic feature but as not clear to most so user might chance to get confused.
                    Actually on network only one SMS means the 160 char only even a charater more to this means 161 char means 2 SMS. Old phones did not tell user that its now 2 SMS amount will charge from you. But now a days this feature will be seperately come to user friendely manner. To tell user that you will charge more then 1 SMS accordingly the count show to you.
                    Hope you got your answer.
                    Now to show 1 msg or seperate is also depend on reciving phone capablities to merge multiple SMS to one or read them seperately.
                    In any case sender will be charged for those total char/160 * i sms cost.

                        Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Ask for Samsung Star and not S5230. Salesmen know it as star only and not by the model name.. It's available at leading mobile outlets. You may try at a samsung showroom also..

                          Just been trying out this new pc studio software for managing the phonebook contacts (deleting, modyfying phone numbers etc) it is in my opinion the slowest crappiest, unstable contact manager program i have ever used!

                          Does anyone know of a better contact manager software for this Star/Tocco Lite phone please that I can download?

                              I downloaded movies from internet so they are in avi format and Samsung pc studio has a converter which can convert "some" file formats(for others it simply says unable to upload file) luckily avi is supported so it got converted havent tried converting DVD files and .DAT files. Divx(for others also) is not supported by converter so first you will need to convert to avi or mp4 before converting with pc studio to use on phone...

                                I am facing a problem..whenever I get the call the ringtone keeps ringing for 2-3 sec extra even if I have pressed the button to take the call.

                                I have observed similar delay when I unlock the phone. Does anyone else also facing the same problem and know the reason?
