Samsung S5230 Hello Kitty Pink Unlocked GSM QuadBand Cell Phone

I got this phone to replace my old iPhone. I did not originally think this phone would be as good. I just received it today and I have to say I like even better then my old iPhone. It was easy to switch it to English and set up just the way I wanted it. It was also easy to import my music and pictures from my computer onto the phone using the USB cable and the software included. I also liked that the seller included an adapter for the charger so I can use it in the US (since the charger is a European one). Earphones for listening to music and stuff were included as well which is good since the outlet is different than the standard so I think it would have been hard to find ones that went. It is also light weight and small enough to be easy to fit in a purse or pocket with a screen that is big enough to see everything. Plus it being Hello Kitty really adds to the cute factor. I recommend this phone who wants a cute little phone that is really practical with a lot of cool features for a good price.

This Hello Kitty special edition of the Samsung star is just amazing! from the great call quality to the screen resolution, I highly recomend this phone. I recieved the phone within the alloted time period, and when I started her up...surprise! The start-up info was in German! No problem, Thanks to the wonders of Google, I found exact translation instructions on a blogging website. I do not utilize the internet portion of the phone, as I am a prepaid utilizer and will not waste my hard earned money on cellphone phooey! I use my IPOD touch for that. anyways, It is well packaged and comes with a Euro-style plug with US adaptation, which is aewsome. It is a bit smaller that it appears to be online, which was a good thing, as I slip it into a pocket and don't have to worry about a big bulky thing disturbing my sitting position!! So, If you are procrastinating, just stop right there, get this phone! You'll be glad you did!

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE unless you are buying it for a little girl, it's cute but really small so it's not what i thought it was, my sister got really mad at me for getting it. She hated it. It doesn't send pic messages & you can't talk & text, every time you get a text message from someone you have to hang up in order to check your text message. battery life is good but still not a good phone to have for a grown person, plus the phone was in German so it took a few days to find a friend who spoke German or knew a little bit of German to unlock it. -__-

I purchased this phone which was suppose to be unlock and compatible with att. I purchased a straight talk sim and put it into this phone, downloaded the pc software but not able to pick up wifi connections. After spending long hours on blogs on web researching for HELP by service provider numerous times( STraight talk)who referred me to Att.t since sim card is on their Network who then said I need another type of sim for this phone then finally found a phone number calling samsung tech support who could not locate IMEI for this phone who than sent be back to Amazon who said the seller is uk and they do not provide any Tech support for this sale because seller is not in U.S but UK (Global Mobile). DO NOT..I SAY DO NOT PURCHASE A mobile phone from this seller unless you are in UK and can get technical support. Believe ME, you won't find any tech support for this seller in US. I will be sending the S5230 back for refund. It's very unfortunate!! Should not be allowed to sell prod if no techn support is available here in usa. I am returning it because Network or browser settings must be incompatible or locked .PIN1 on this phone will not unlock. The phone touch key pad is small;incoming calls are on auto lock and you have to use the side keys to unlock each time a call come in but it appears to have all the tricks..very cute and alot of great nuances. I will purchase another Unlock phone which hopefully has warranty under Amazon.

I love it! Cute, unique & very easy to use. Great sound and easy to send free ringtones from PC via bluetooth. I was disappointed to find out it doesn't have voice dialing. I just assumed that was available on all wireless phones now. Also wish it had wifi, but I probably wouldn't do much more than experiment. I just switched from overpriced Verizon account I've had for many years, to T-mobile monthly with unlimited data, so the wifi is no big deal. Besides the fact that I love cats, including Hello Kitty and pink is my favorite color, I think it's great to have an unlocked phone. This is first time a phone I paid for feels like it actually belongs to me and none of it's capabilities are blocked. Much better to buy a phone with a few less features, but all features work, than to pay a lot of $$$ for all the bells & whistles only to get it home and find all the features you bought it for were disabled.

I have had this phone for a month now and overall am very pleased with it. I do wish that I had been able to read the instruction manuel-was unable to due to the fact that it was not written in English, however, have been able to figure out most of the features. The call quality is fine and I was able to send and receive txts right away. I am not able to send or receive pic txts or send pics to my email, but I hope that my provider will be able to help me with this problem when I take it in. The battery does not seem to last as long as my last phone (a motorola), but I am enjoying the touch screen and am pleased with the camera quality. I did run into a problem a couple days after I got this phone-I was getting an "insert sim" message even though I had a sim card in, but figured out that this was due to the fact that the back was on a little loosely and my sim card had slipped out of position. Once I fixed this I didn't have any more problems. The company I purchased from was very quick to respond when I tried to contact them-called AND emailed me the following business day but by then I had figured out and resolved the prob. I am very satisfied with this phone and would def purchase again. And it's so darn cute-I like the size, color, and design.

Go this phone for my girlfriend and she loves it(: It put the biggest smile one her face(: I am having some problems with it though. We recently went trough At&t. The calling and texting works fine. But having problems getting the Internet and Picture Messaging figured out. If anyone can help me out. With a site or like basic help let me know. I seen that a few people finally figured it out. I want to know if anyone can help me solve that small problem. Other than that. It's an amazing, cute phone. Anybody will love it. Not to many people have it either.

I just purchased this phone and I love the look.... However, the only thing I cannot do is receive or send picture messages.. but im not complaining too strongly because I did read the reviews before purchasing the phone but on one of the previous reviews someone mentioned that they loved the fact you can insert picture into your messages so i figured maybe there was a way you can send or receive them after all, but I can't:( Overall, I love my phone.. it's loud, it's cute,camera is very clear which is a huge plus, it has the radio and other cool features..Very easy to use. I recommend anyone who does not really use picture message to purchase the Hello Kitty Samsung S5230.. Ok after a couple of I had to come back and tell everyone that I finally figured out how to use the pic msg... Im with T-mobile so i went to google and found "T-Mobile generic MMS settings" and follow the instructions from there... they also have instructions for carriers:)
