    @Devinder

    It says unsupported file format when clicking on it, mate :-(

    @Anuj

    Did you convert the movie with the converter which comes in the PC Suite?

          sunil, 21 Jun 2009i am a star user i just bought my phone a day ago, as i am ... morewell i have said before in this forum that the samsung pc suite is the worst pc suite that i've ever used, the best being of course nokia's pc suite. i had also given u the solution.

          well once again i present you friends a much more user-friendly way of handling ur phone data and transferring them from and to your pc...

          here's the trick:

          1.forget samsung pc studio. uninstall it from the pc.

          2.go to settings in main menu of phone. then goto "phone settings". then "pc connections".

          3.choose "mass storage".

          4.now just connect ur phone to the pc and the phone behaves like a pen-drive. walla!!

          it just behaves like a pen drive and the user interface is just like nokia pc studio. so much user friendly!! and no more irritating messages displayed.

          u can now transfer any n everything to ur memory card or phone memory even if it is not supported by the phone.

          remember... its a pen-drive now. NJOY!!

            shantanu, 21 Jun 2009hello sunil, Some of the phone's internal memory is used... moreno the s5230 has 50mb internal memory.

            but most of the users have got the s5233A model like myself, n it has got 100mb internal memory. and no, OS has its separate memory, it does not occupy this 100mb.

              Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970i don't know where u can a 3.5 mm adapter in hyderabad. it costs rs.300 in india. by the way even the fake ones work fantastically. u can go for it...

              in case u still do not get it, u can go to any samsung store and ask for a "GOOD EXTERNAL SAMSUNG HEADPHONE". they will give u a sound-cancellation headphone (it has an in-built 3.5mm converter) and costs rs.500. the quality of the headphone is superb. and it is available at all mobile accessories stores.

              hope this helps...

                  Some of the phone's internal memory is used for its operating system, so 13mb might be reserved for its OS.
                  (hey but this phone only has 50mb right???)

                  and about ur errors, contact ur dealer, or ask for samsung help.

                                  Sid, 20 Jun 2009Hi... I am from New Delhi India.. I have been on the verge ... moreHi Sid,

                                  I am from mumbai and i am using star for 3 weeks. Regarding 1st question it comes with a stylus but no slot/compartment is there. But believe me you would not even need that. I have tried stylus but only for a few hours becoz operating this phone with fingers is like walk on cake. Using stylus i got a small scratch on scratch guard so now using fingers only to operate. I really love this phone. Quality of pictures taken is amazing. last week watched "300" movie on this while traveling in train. Let me know if you have any queries
