GENERAL:
First of all, thanks to Amazon for the very fast delivery.
Since I after 2 years was no longer satisfied with my Motorola to now, I have decided me to seek a new device. The criteria were for me it should be something modern with a pleasant battery life, and it should be priced fall in a comfortable setting, because, after all, a phone is "just" and should not be a store of value for my pension. Since the range of new mobile phones is incredibly Huge yes, much shortlisted on the touch screen mobile phones. While this narrowed the range already, but even there the market is still huge, so visited all sorts of forums and of course, ransacked the customers review of Amazon. Here I had a lot of time left so then was about 4 weeks determined that it should be the Samsung S5230 Star which I do not bereuhe far after 3 weeks.
Impressions:
-As I was holding it for the first time in the hands with battery and SIM card fitted, I thought ups how easy is this. It was the biggest shortcoming, my wife was kind enough to provide the phone with the battery, and has of course the battery cover also made fully to load it, we had great pains push this through and push back abzubekommen my simcard appeal.
-The Size is pleasant for me, not too small and not too Globig, the thickness of 1.20 cm is also very pleasant. The operation comes after a very short settling of its own accord, the menus are all without that I had to go big on the manual self-explanatory.
-The Display has a very good resolution and brightness. The banded into 3 parts main screen, which you can move left and right, I find here a great success there, I have different applications distributed as alarm clock, calculator, Bluetooth, MP3 player and radio, these are then quickly available on the main screen.
-Since I've always abusing my phone as an alarm clock, I am thrilled everything you need from the wake of Samsung, classification according to weekdays, Repeat alarm (snooze) adjustable, appears while raising on the display then a slider when you push it to the left turns when set to snooze a function if you push it to the right of the alarm clock is switched off, because I had half asleep getting used so as not to push him in the wrong direction.
-The Mp3 player has all the features you need, and if man has created playlists will the choose the music you want it quite fast, however, man must create new playlists when man walked on the music of his memory card reorders, as well as the then again quite quickly.
-Who Works a lot with Bluetooth should definitely put the widget on the screen as it is the fastest available, and here goes the transfer of data from one mobile phone to the other quickly, unfortunately I miss a status display how much has already been transferred.
-To Call function, as with all mobile phones continuously press only the call key, and we have listed the last dialed or received calls, this can man when one of the participants (not to call or SMS icon on the right) expresses, select whether you want to the guy writing an SMS or call wants.
-The Camera of Samsung is perfectly adequate for me, without photo light but that most missing me as a flashlight in the dark. The camera fires very quickly is probably because you is not equipped with photo light, the smile function works even prima habs tried on myself, and it really sparked only when smiling. Captured images convinced for a cell phone camera fair good with appropriate lighting.
To use all the settings such as birthdays caller picture -To that our phone numbers must be stored on the Samsung, and not on the SIM card. But that's the Samsung simply move with the option entries, here you have the choice to Phone => SIM card or SIM card => phone, also did not go smoothly for me, but this feature confused with copying the entries there just copied, then 2 times can be found on the phone.
-The Built-radio works only with the supplied headset that is needed as an antenna, found channels are displayed in the RDS format with Radio Text (continuous information from the radio station dependent). A very nice feature in my opinion, without having to always think about what the station is straight.
Feign -To a call, you can leave a phone call with the Samsung, (this function is also when the keypad lock if MAN THE VOLUME BUTTON DOWN holding this down, can also NOT DEAKTIEVIEREN, and you get to the preset time a call from his Samsung, this can even be coupled to a pre-recorded voice, so that it looks as if someone is talking on the other end.
Write -The keyboard in SMS, is the turning aside a QWERTY keyboard, which still can be good use with my not exactly small fingers. Yet here I miss a small Stylus pen with the SMS determines goes much faster, but there are these jo everywhere as an accessory.
I -The Internet options off with me because I do not have Internet flat rate, but that can access simple widgets and applications on the Internet and very pretty penny. Here I have deleted the connection information in the Internet settings, because I have found no option to disable the Internet zugriffes.
-To Battery power was already written all this completely convinced at this Samsung. In my normal usage it considers a the week.

+ QWERTY keyboard
+ Radio with RDS

(These Cons for me to neglect at the star rating)
Conclusion:
Due to the benefits of Samsung fully Recommended, I would at any time for the price to buy again. Certainly above all a good phone if you have no cards HIDE, or how where there is a flat rate base is not a new phone to the renewal of the contract. I have also the same concern a protective film, so it protect the sensitive display, even with the film there is no or very little disturbance of the operation of the touch screen.
So who is looking for a touch screen mobile phone should not go past this mobile phone. Certainly there are still phones under 100.00, but here should man a little savings and the Samsung S5230 Star set, man will not bereuhen purchasing definitely.
ALSO FROM ME full 5 stars for the Samsung
