Samsung Star S5233S Unboxed

Its looks great but take at that shape really big ha.

No WiFi? I might not buy a phone like this. expensive ito.

not bad. of course it won’t be feature packed and all since it caters to a different market.. if you are looking for a phone with wifi, just save a little and get 5800.

would rather get an HTC Touch Viva but this phone can work for people who don’t need WiFi and GPS.

@sleepybear

Woah, harsh! But, well, for people who don’t need or want WiFi or 3G, they might buy this one, afterall it caters to a different market. Most people just want style and functionality while being able to send messages and take pics, that’s all.

It’s affordable. Like it.

I love this PHONE its worth it, I dont need wifi.whats the use of my laptop and internet connections at home. IM from Bacolod City. SAMSUNG had a big sale in all unit. so i got from 9995 + free 2gb.memorycard and with some other freebies..

No problem for now. Everything is good
Negative: No flash for the camera.
thats all.hehe well whats the use of ur Digicam..haha

I think that is great phone with full options and a lot of solutions, plus for LG

Just bought this phone at a very affordable price of 9990 (for a touchscreen) with free 1GB memory card from Baguio City. Its a great phone actually.
No WiFi? I guess it doesnt matter, i still can browse the internet ANYWHERE through Smart (Wifi phone needs a Wifi Hotspot).
No 3G? Who uses 3G anyway, do you even use it everyday? I bet only 5% of Filipinos with a 3G phone use this network-expensive feature.

Bottomline: Samsung Star (S5230 Series) is a great phone. Cheap Price, touchscreen, huge screen, user-friendly, great features you want to use everyday, and most of all, its Samsung! ^^

Waiting for the Philippine release of Samsung Omnia HD though..:)

reading some comments above seemed to imply that they don’t consider the price of the thing before giving such verdict to it.

for a price of P10,490 for a touch screen phone is already cheap. consider LG Cookie, it was tagged at P11,990 when launched. but still, it’s worth the price. saw some features of this phone from some reviews, and i think its really a competitor of the cookie right now.

even thinking of swapping my cookie to this, lol.
but LG Cookie is much slimmer and the touchscreen is pretty responsive enough, despite some downsides. still a good phone though, for the price.

up to 8 GB according to the user manual

i want to know can we use this mobile camera as a web camera……..is there any software which i can install and then i can use moblie camara as a web camara…….?please let me know…

Better get this phone. fast touch response, no lags, better texting virtual keypad.

ok ns ok.

like it, I don’t care about the wifi, cause you have to go to place with wifi just to browse,even i hate wifi. iam using edge connection with unlimited usage provider here and i can browse where ever i want, whenever i want, as long as there is mobile signal there.

Please check at wellcom,mura sila,nagcanvas kc ako lang ngaun.Ang sabi ng staff doon ay nasa 8700(cash) 1 year warranty,pero mga bosing kauubos daw kahapon.sana bukas meron na.Cheap compared to other store.

im really thinking of buying this phone, kso i have no idea if qwerty keyboard ba to or t9? wla kse sa mga sites na tnitignan ko ang spec na un. i have an xda o2 ryt now kso mejo nagloloko, magkasing-laki kya cla or no? gsto ko sana same lang. ^^ di po ba naghahang? in terms of music ok naman po ba?

how much is this unit in Singapore?

i own 1 unit and the keypad is T9 and also qwerty…

if you will use the phone vertically it will be on T9 mode…

but if you text while the phone is in vertical angle you can use qwerty keypad….

Just wanted to ask if annybody knows abupt impact resistance. If i drop it on the grownd whil it last or will break in an instant??

hmm it is a great phone can expand the memory up to 16 gig confirmed. cool features, it’s a really really good phone with cheap price

Where does the stylus come? The pack of 5233 that have bought provides a big stylus separately.I could not find a slot to keep it in the phone.

Which should i buy, 5800 or samsung star?
help. tnx :)

There are 2 types of Samsung 5233- 5233S and 5233W. The 5233W is wifi ready…

Exhumed, 5233 is the higher version of 5230…

I Luv it……..

I got the WIfi version and its really cool. Plus, I like the touch screen coz unlike LG and Nokia, its easier to use quite similar to Iphone. What I dont like though (maybe I haven’t figure it out yet)is that I can’t change the message tone. We are like 3 in the office with Samsung phones with the same message tone. I got the silver one with free silicon case, umbrella, bag and screen protector.. :) (at least there’s a freebie.) And yup, it’s 11k in Samsung Megamall. It’s a good choice for your 1st touch screen phone. :)

its really nice phone than samsung..i try it

samsung s5233

we just got hold of this unit and quite fascinated by its touch screen capability. our kids says it looks like an i-phone, hehe.
Anyway, is there a PC software that can help store its contacts, messages, calendar, etc.???
Our SonyEricsson is using the MyPhoneExplorer as its PC based application (SMS, contact, calendar, file management, etc.)

el_fili89: yes there is a pc studio for samsung… you can back up everything in your fone…

i have my nokia 5800 so far so good sya packed with specifications that this phones dont have. but unfortunately i am planning to swap my nokia 5800 to this 5233w… if anyones interested u may call or tx me at 093940***** look for ranuj. uhm my phone is 1 month old. nabili ko sya 16k so i lowered it down to 14k. if you swap theres also a cash na 4k kasi 10k ang phone na samsung as ive seen sa malls… if anyone interes to swap contact me. thanks. i prefer txt message inquiries.

Dave In Jeddah,

Provider of what? Internet? You should be the one connecting on them, not them connecting to your phone , that’s the purpose of WIFI. Also, your broadband should be connected to a wifi router so that your samsung star can connect to it.

hello sa mga nagtatanung kung papanu malalaman ang ip ng cp nyo just go here in your phone browser type this http://www.tracemyip.org

i hope this one would help

Turns out, they need my MAC address, not my IP. Found it tho, by turning on WIFI -> search -> the WIFI server that shows -> details. It’s under Device MAC. Hope this helps others.

can sms memory increase????
