This is among the hottest selling Mobile phones around the world! The Unlocked Star/Tocco Lite Cell Phone by Samsung is packed with features. It is far more intelligent, making it the ultimate companion that is always one step ahead. It features gesture lock, wherein unlike a standard or average phone, which unlocks to the main menu every time, you can unlock the Star to a designated menu, by simply writing the letter associated with it on the touch screen. The Star also has an accelerometer sensor, which means no matter which way you hold it, it will adjust the screen so the content is readable, this is ideal for horizontal or vertical cases and even your pocket, in that sometimes you may pick up your cell phone backwards/sideways. In addition to the ease of use, it features handwriting recognition, which allows you to write on the screen as an alternative to pushing buttons. The Samsung S5230 is not only a star for namesake, but it also turns anyone into a star with its 3.15 Megapixel camera which takes pictures when a smile is detected, so you'll always have that Mona Lisa-like smile in every photo.

Samsung S5230 comes with the latest multimedia features in a slim and compact body that measures a mere 11.9mm. Adopting a 3.0-inch WQVGA full-touch screen and Samsung’s TouchWiz User Interface with Mobile Widgets, the phone lets mobility be the rule over the exception. This is the mobile phone you want to use and own.
