Almost a month back Samsung announced three touchscreen phones for the Indian market- Star S5233, Star S5603 and the Samsung Beat DJ. Today we review one of them, the Star S5603. Going by the success of the LG Cookie I must say that the Star Phones do have a lot of scope. The recent price cut of the Cookie to less than 10K suggests that they feel a bit threatened by the aggressive pricing strategy of Samsung for marketing these touchscreen phones. Let's see if the S5603 we have with us today can steal the show from the lower-end touchscreen phones.

The screen is heat sensative so it rquires touch. Maybe this is the reason they have avoided the qwerty pad

Yes some times even i noticed unknown no`s entry which i cld not know that how it came in // Also my biggest concern is to know (Here i seek other`s help if someone cld guide me) that how to do:- Zoom in.out while using camera as it volume keys didn't work // how to capture images and text using browser which can be done in Nokia as it gives options // how can i increase auto lock time limit // more good games info as Samsung begs to pay to play preinstalled games// though with this price tag the set is amazing with it applications and features including Pic editing option.

I agree with the given review & they don't provide any memory card with phone. I bought it & the phone is awesome.

How can you review a test device which may be different from the final piece?? This review is as credible as a street hawker's word.

I agree with the comment here. How can a review be done on a beta model. It would be good if you did a review on the final piece.

i agree, perhaps too hasty in posting the review, also, no word about the browser nor the 3g capabilities tested, for those interesred in samsung star, look for phone arena
