update: normally the gprs icon is blue, but when i for instance add the accuweather widget it turns red..does that mean it's on/connected to the internet when it's red?

    (please help me)
    I got the phone today and it's awesome, great value.. only my entire manual is in french and i don't speak it that wel..
    This might be a stupid question but next to the network signal my home screen displays a G for GPRS all the time, is that supposed to be there (necessary?)..or does that mean that i'm constantly connected to the internet or somethin..if so, how can i turn it off so i don't waste buckets of money?
    Also, is there a way to check the battery status appart from the little battery in the corner.. something in % perhaps? I'd look at the manual but i can't understand it :(

                Just got my samsung star 5233A from ebay. The phone looks great and responding to touch well but not at par with iphone. Its bit jerky. One negative point is that there is no place to keep stylus..one more observation is that the stylus in the bundle is different from the one shown in photographs..Otherwise a gr8 phone at gr8 price. I got it for 8150/- after discount using ebay coupan

Samsung star has 1000mah battery whereas cookie has 900mah battery. so technically the cookie has less battery life than cookie. also i am using Samsung star and earlier i have also used cookie but samsung star is is very impressive overall. Must Buy

                              A) Hey!I am confused b/w LG cookies and Samsung star and the confusion aggravated after reading review done by www.phonearena.com on battery life. Battery has been rated at 2 out of 10 (it seemed like samsung is boasting about the battery life 1.e 10 hrs talk time). Most features are more or less the same (apparently). So the basic confusion hinges on battery life.

                              B) Also there are free-bees available with LG cookies. Does it make LG cookies a good buy?

                              Plzzzz respond asap.... as i m planning to buy either one by this sunday...
                              Thanks a ton

                                      Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970Hi 10,500 is too high price. the price range for samsung star is from 9400 to 9750 from vendor to vendor in mumbai. Try planet M in delhi they give this phone with 2 years warranty for 9750. All the best fro you getting a best deal.
