My first touch screen mobile phone and absolutely love it!

Samsung Star S5230 Smartphone (touchscreen, 3MP camera, video, MP3 player, Bluetooth) noble-black (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Customer Review

As I browsed through mobile times, and me many times to buy a touchscreen mobile phones have been thinking, I came across this little gem.

The Samsung S5230 is not only currently the best touchscreen phone in the price / performance ratio, but also convinces as in almost all points.

Especially for someone who until now only served keys will initially be kinda weird and difficult rumzudrücken on the display, but after about 1-2 days I had already fully accustomed and operated the phone via touch as if it were a keyboard.

The accuracy of the touch screen while typing convinced me from the beginning, you can press FAST mmgenau, and it is accepted.
Also scrolling by touch works quite well, only here it a bit jerky when I look through long lists ZMB. the SMS Inbox or Phonebook.

The possibility practically to have 3 backgrounds at once is good, as you so, depending on personal preferences can change the background with no major changes in the display settings of the mobile phone, simply by rüberziehen.

By eliminating from keypad there are also no more Schneelwahltasten for SMS writing, calendars etc. which could adjust with most mobile phones also will.

Here was been solved by the widget function Widget is an extendable bar at the left edge of the display which will appear in the list you can easily select in the settings of the phone to edit. The list itself can arbitrarily change zmb important things like SMSschreiben, calendar, Mp3Player, radio etc etc that you just left. Often required to push upwards.

The telefoniern is very pleasant with the phone, even landline calls which I previously felt rather very quietly with my Nokia E51, are here clearly evident, even the voices of the call participants are clear and not distorted.
I had even sometimes runterstellen because it came across loud the volume control), this makes it quite normal on the mounted on the left edge of cell phone keys.

SMSschreiben for SMSliebhaber is probably very important to know that at a touch screen mobile phone as it works.
And I must say I am pleasantly surprised.

One meets the touchscreen keys very well and easily with normal men finger only when you press the button 7, I'll sometimes accidentally when key T9 to what is for the dictionary, and is turned on with me.
Insert new words is a bit complicated here if I'm honest. If you try to enter a word and the dictionary does not know, a list of suggested words will appear, here you have next to click the arrow pointing upwards, now a decayed grains with appears "Insert word" click on it and man can enter his desired word manuel ,

Also interesting is the SMS writing is when the phone rotates 90 degrees to the right, here the display automatically changes to a computer like keyboard.
Here, however, the keys are to make much smaller and harder, and with fingers is required here much longer than in normal mode.

A little tip: If anyone here has small problems with the touch screen, should again carry out the calibration of the touch screen Phone settings. While this is already carried out the first operation and then on the phone, resulted in my left. Also because of mishandling not quite the desired accuracy.

The Vibracallfunktion is now no longer even imagine at the phones, especially if you where the way is, an appointment has and the phone to Silent, or in a loud restaurant or similar to aufhällt missing a so when you plug in the phone, a Call or SMS hardly.
The strength of the Vibracall can be here for SMS, calls and so set free, to the maximum he is extremely strong and I felt it myself spürsam by a leather jacket by.

One can adjust the phone actually totally according to his wishes and ideas, backgrounds, there are now on the web enough that you download via PC and then can also be easy on the phone.

Ringtones etc can be set freely with MP3.

Listen to MP3 or radio with the mobile phone speaker is surprisingly good, good clear sound on maximum volume absolutely sufficient, only the basses are somewhat low, but what do you expect from nem phone here? With the supplied headset, the music and especially bass gets even better.

Games and Java programs, there are on the phone and you can download some of Samsung against money itself zmb.!
Supposedly makes the phone when you install free games etc which are with a certain and certainly known for many mobile fans file extension problems.

Also, there are so far no other Themes auser the red and green. With a little trick you can indeed make the menu and main screen black, but remain subfolder then denoch in the color of the theme.

Samsung has only a little disappointed me in terms of customer-friendly your PC program which is required in order to play on the mobile zmb with newer firmware, etc.

I use Vista 64 bit and 64 bit Win7 soon, unfortunately it has not managed to Samsung Dato configure your PC program for 64bit operating systems.

In many forums, this topic is sadly known, but Samsung's support responded to none of my 2 mails, this is in my opinion a very customer-unfriendly policy.

So you can only wait and hope for the Samsung times of the complaint mails is fed up, and their program revised for 64bit users.

The design of mobile phones especially with me in black like it very much, it does not affect an exaggeration, yet is somehow modern and elegant, and in any event if only for the very large displays an eye-catcher!
The mobile phone is very good in one hand and can also be set if 2 or händiger einhändigerbetrieb.
Of course, the display is dirty very strong, here I recommend the regular Clean with ZMB. Glasses cleaning wipes that you can find reasonably priced at retail everywhere.
Clean fine soft cloths or substances do it as well.

The camera is always so ne thing in mobile phones, it is one way or another never can as quickly match a cell phone camera with digital cameras.
Here you will find though a 3.2 megapixel camera, but on the quality of photos and videos is much better than not my last 2 MP from Nokia E 51!
The photos are often blurred and indistinct, and just too dark for my taste, here left would be a small flash, or ne small lamp as have gewessen desirable also many phones.

But the camera in mobile phones remains, and it is also very long, for snapshots only be something.

And at the end of something else the battery:
The battery is in latest mobile phones of course not unimportant topic, by getting more technology, better resolution, more colors and so often suffers the battery life under it.
On my last phone I had it even as it was new just about charging every 3-4 days, Nokia has ever poorer battery what I conclude from personal experience, Internet reports and acquaintances and friends.
Here the battery is keeping me (now about 3 weeks in use) if I only telephone and SMS write about 5-7 days, this of course depends on the display and power saving settings. But received with CA write 30 to 90 minutes and about 20 telefoniern SMS and I find the battery life for this very good, compared to other current handsets.
The first shop took a little longer was about half a day until the battery is fully charged. Now take another charge about 2 max 3 h, which is standard for me.

For PC users may also find interesting that you can be charged via the computer, the mobile phone also via USB.

Conclusion: The mobile phone can I only recommend seeking a reasonably priced and very good touch screen mobile phone.
Despite minor shortcomings but not worthy to be in the main functions of a mobile phone, I can recommend it without reservation.
Samsung I want here but due to lack of customer friendliness criticize most strongly, but by the mobile phone I really like, and it thus has no gross defects, I will not tiling in the overall :)!
Samsung has here but clearly a very large Nachhollbedarf.
