Beware of faults

This mobile makes emergency service calls when the phone lock is on, emergency services pretty fed up with this. Orange (the sellers) couldn't care less, infact they offered a replacement handset exactly the same to make more emergency service calls I presume, would not change handset to the same value as there system would not allow it. Bad system, bad phone.

Samsung Star 2 Reviewed

We review the Samsung Star 2, a sequel to Samsung's blockbuster, the Samsung Star. Can the new star shine as brightly as the original?

Today we review a long awaited phone, the Samsung Star 2, sequel to the original Samsung Star. With over 30 million units sold and probably one of the finest low-end feature phones ever made, the Star 2 has a prestigious reputation to live up to.

Samsung Star II

Almost two years on from the original Star, Samsung have announced its successor - the Samsung Star II. Both phones are pretty similar on paper, but Samsung have made some useful improvements to keep the Star II fresh.

I would buy this product again and again

The product is great but I had to look at another one I own to do the set-up since it was in a foreign language.
