    The samsung s5230 as an all round under £100 mobile is very good but and its a BIG BUT.....had problems trying to stream shoutcast internet radio stations.
    We tried all formats MP3/WMA/AAC player and also installed recommended software from radiobee and virtual radio but to no avail. It still will not play any internet radio. (not a file) but a LIVE STREAM. Sorry, it reduced its wow factor to me by 25%
    6 out of 10
    We have wrote to Samsung tech support and also rang them up. We also ran o2 tech support and spoke to an o2 guru.
    No one has a clue!
    Very disappointed.
    Pull your finger out Samsung.

          newmanv4, 12 Feb 2010About the Wifi thing it worked ! and it's really great in t... morein a way, i do agree...connecting to a wifi hotspot should just be a breeze and not like this that there would be steps to follow and it is some kind of annoying specially to those who doesn't know how to or the peeps who just bought the unit.

          there should be an application where you could just connect easily!

                            sorry i don't like n79..

                            i hate symbian! i just want a simple phone.

                            I'm currently using a samsung star w/o wifi and the touch is superb, i don't see any problem in touch response of the star..

                            I bet u haven't tried one.. that's why your claiming that the touch response of star is poor.

                            You should buy yourself a touchscreen phone.. haha

                                      Hi All, It sounds that all of you had some problems with WIFI connectivity...I has so too.

                                      What you have to do is:
                                      Go to web browser and delete all history,coockies and cashe files ( settings----> delete cashe....etc.)
                                      Then restart your phone...
                                      Get connceted againg...


                                      Make sure you are close to the router ( at least in your first time) and have fun...

                                      I hope this will help you guys till they release a new free-of-error software.
