ya if its better i dont mind
bcoz i still hav to buy the 4gb or 8gb card thts will push up the cost along with the 3.5mm jack........

If it reasles at 13 to13.5k its ok if more then out of budget..........

see its doesnt have wifi and 3g so will be placed cheaper than the 5800 ... so arnd that 13k region hopefully ... but u might have to wait for quite a while ... btw , cookie is 9.5k and star is 10k in bangalore

This is wht i hav concluded so far..........wht do u think

the star will cost abt 10k to get a memory card & 3.5mm jack if i get it now

& abt 9.3 to 9.5k if i get it in Q3 but the Nokia 5530(it has Wifi) will cost about 13.5k on reaslese and abt 11.5k after 2 months so still it gonna be 2k higher

2k higher for better display & music(slighly) & wifi(which i dont need) & games & applicaation

Star on the other hand better camera(nokia has bad camera's in xpressmusic phones) & cool features like widget & gesture lock(not really helpful but show off stuff) & better battery & price

But wht i want to knw which phone will be faster & which OS is better bcoz i dont knw abt these stuff.........

Can't comment on camera until its(5530) released.
In Phone arena they told Star's battery life is pretty poor

First of all, Samsung star doesn't have any OS its a feature phone it runs on Samsung's Proprietary platform.So, if u need an OS go for Nokia 5530.

Thats a false comment by phonearena none of the user reviews i read complained abt the battery..........

Abt the OS i mean wht does the OS actually do........
Like Samsung's Proprietary platform also runs the phone preety good :)
Does it help in game & application installations.........

generally non-os phones are much faster and graphical then Symbain or Windows...just that OS gives us option to install new softwares and customize to some extent.

I am very happy with SE system...its much cool then any other:smile:

and yes nokia mobile support ngage platform which have some great games

^ yeah se fones dont have an os ... but most fones wid their own os have compatibility wid java (J2ME java midp 1.0 , java midp 2.0) ... so those apps can run ... but since start does not have a standard resolution nor does it has a keypad , u will have problems finding , installing and playing 3rd party games or apps ... but wid more touch fones entering the market , things will change

yup SE dont have an OS...it have a java interface just like samsung or even nokia S40

U have to wait some time to get good touch java applications...

And samsung and LG phones are pathetic at implementing java, so dont expect the apps to run smoothly either.

nd what do you mean SE phones dont have an OS?? Its an OSE which is a real time operating system and being adopted for SE phones by ENEA.

Sorry for joining late in the discussion but i really dont like to comment unless i have practical experience. I went to store today and spent a few minutes with this phone .

The touch sensitivity is not bad , but requires certain amount of pressure compared to 5800. 5800 almost dont need pressure when you use pointed things like fingernails or plactrum . But samsung works better when using thumb .

I hated the 'haptics' on samsung. It kinda rattles like haptics in chinese phone. I am not sure if it is customisable like in 5800 or it can be turned off. But motorola and 5800 have wayyyyy better feel regarding this . Ps. Even ultra touch acts the same.

Built quality is really good . Unlike 5800 it dont feel like a cheap phone at all. Though 5800 is more comfortable in single handed use. But i think one will get used to it pretty quickly.

Widgets sucks . Most are useless and clutter the homescreen with no real functionality.

Screen seemed a little over bright and over saturated. Thats why it looked a little harsh. But then again it could just be a matter of changing setting .

Os speed seemed ok , not faster than 5800 and actually slower than newer se phones or s60 with fp1. Transitions are ok , could be smoother though . I liked certain nice aspects like automatically having fullscreen qwerty ketboard when rotating in landscape or changng pictures in gallary by tilting the phone. Interestingly i had trouble changing the pictures by swiping fingers . I am not sure if it was the touch screen not registering or the os not catching up . overall the os feeled like just what i'd expect from samsung. Dont expect a sophisticated and clean os like se or nokia's s60.

Music quality with inbox headset SUCKED . I dont know if it was the phone or earphone but it just sucked compared to k790i or xpressmusic+ep630.

If you're planning to use it as music player do check a demo before buying . I am not very confident that it can match xpressmusic or even walkman regarding sound quality .

I am basing my desicion on 6 qualities
1.Looks
2.Music
3.Camera
4.Display
5.Speed(Shd repond quickly)
6.Battery

For me Samsung's got Looks(not by much tough),Camera & Battery
Nokia's got Music & Display definately

Speed & the overall package i dnt knw???
