If you try to answer an incoming call has you ever have an incredibly annoying problem that this usually pushes because of the red and the green handset was positioned as a (dysfunctional) touch screen buttons at the bottom of the phone. Who thinks a thing like that please from?
Although the touch screen works in general actually almost did not, and then with incredibly portly speed, but if you take may not need it, for example, in just such a case, it is very annoying.
Write the SMS turns out to be tedious, since you can not set a QWERTY keyboard. That is, can you do so, but because the phone can not be placed transversely to obtain a wider keyboard (cross put the phone works namely not in general) are the so-keys that you could not even use it with a pen small, would be the touchscreen not even for unsuitable.
That was actually even its predecessor, good question why were here made such setbacks in Basic.
If you get along with a regular numeric keypad as with any key phone (or perhaps even can better deal with it) can provide somewhat into the background this criticism even. Only problem here also: instant replay button, terrible quality touchscreen and a rather unfortunate arrangement of the keys.
What took me nervous MANY is also the fact that the alarm just is not working. Every now and then he is very reliable, but it happens very often that it does not ring or even only a quarter or half an hour after the set time. This has nothing to do with setting the alarm clock would be awkward or confusing, but it really does not. I've tried it several times, experienced several times and have already overslept so. Something's not at all.
Photographing can totally forget the way. Since it is of quality and trigger speed her better with a pinhole camera off.
What also annoys is that you can not set a custom background when the image for this comes from the PC or simply was not done with the phone's camera. And if, one can determine neither position nor rotation. Again, massive setbacks were made.
So anyone who wants to buy an affordable touchscreen phone is better off with the predecessor material. The absolutely really only one in which the S5220 is its predecessor advance is its appearance. Which is a matter of taste. Otherwise, you should definitely opt for the Samsung S5230 Star. That costs a little more, but was always reliable. I will change back to my old one.
Absolute recommendation: 3 Star not buy Samsung Star S5230 purchase. because you have more joy.
