                6 Months completed using this tuch beauty... am very much happy with its performance...

                But two questions,

                1. Is there any way to add COPY/PASTE functionality (at least, in text editor) to the phone? (By updating the s/w, etc...)

                2. Is it possible to update s5233w (to include wi fi feature) in my mobile (my current s/w is s5233s) ?

                desperately looking for answers... anyone tried, pls. pls. pls reply....

                        Or modify ur firmware( i have done it on my phone) to XEII4 version,where it is just copy paste and install.
                        Choice is urs..if u dont want to void ur warranty..i wud suggest the first option of using ftp lite. Just search "Install apps on Samsung star" and the first few pages will give u the info u need..i did learn that way only. Good luck.

Nokia 5230 has far s... moreeven i was thinking of buying Nokia, checked the phone and tried hands on in the nokia centre..was not impressed with the double clicks and the fact that the qwerty on the phone on display is not as easy to use as in samsung. Well nokia def has apps..gps on board they say..but has limited service or need to download maps..something the technician told me..was not convinced..so sticking to Samsung star for now. And yeah the touch wiz n widgets are any day better than the standard Symbian OS home screen.
                          The nail on the coffin for Nokia was the poor speakers..i cus hardly hear the demo song..when played on loud speakers..Samsung speakers are pretty loud i felt. So depending on the choice..users can go for the make. I am sticking to my lovely star.

                            This phone is great and affordable - except for the java apps part - it's ridiculous! How do I install and access my java apps? I have the .jar and .jad files, and I used the PC studio app to transfer these files to my phone (other files folder), but it keeps popping up with "unsupported file type"!! so, plz, someone tell me what is the best and sure way to transfer, install and run my java apps. Thanx in advance!

                                    Hi ppl,
                                    I Own STAR for last 7 months, recently i tried Nokia 5230 in a Nokia Gallery. Nokia has copied samsung star's model name (5230) to encash STAR's succeess, but after all a copy is a copy and this 1 is really BAD!!
                                    * Touch responce is not as good as STAR
                                    * Screen looks soooo dull
                                    * Interchangable colourful back-cover (Copied frm Corby) look really HORRIBLE with a dusty plastic feel
                                    * No widgets/ only 1 homescreen/ no photo contact browser / no tilt-to-slide gallery
                                    * despite having a better ram and cpu, Nokia 5230 is a dull and slow thing in ur hands.
                                    Ppl, think atleast 10 times before even thinking for Nokia 5230
