okay so i'm wondering which one i should get. like they are pretty much the same but like there are some features that aren't on the other one.

1. I heard that Lg cookie you can write chinese and korean, not sure about the star

2. The Lg Cookie shuts down/ freezes alot?

and i don't know much about the samsung star besides that it pretty much has the same features. can anyone clarify the 2 points for me?

Please and Thank Yous!

i had the LG Cookie before, and currently have the Samsung Star now but the model I have has wifi so i def. think that is a plus. The Cookie was nice but it looked too plasticy and kiddy for me, the Samsung Star has more gloss to it and looks more elegant. They are both pretty the same in terms of functions but the Star has wifi which is better for me. Also the touchscreen qwerty on the Star is more easier to use and the stylus is more comfortable to hold than on the Cookie.

samsung star for me my friend once had the cookie and it lags a bit

i have the samsung star (with wifi) and i'm in loveeee with it. i was planning to buy the cookie too, but after reading a lot of reviews about it lagging, i decided not to get it. looks wise, i think the star looks better because the cookie looks so...plastic. lol. and the star doesn't lag, or at least mine hasn't lagged yet since i've gotten it, which has only been a couple of weeks biggrin.gif the camera is pretty decent, too. honestly, i'm not big on phone features. i just tend to snag phones that look really nice, and the star looks really purtyyy to me XD

i can write chinese (both traditional/ simplified) on my samsung star =] jus tested it works great even with my pen =p

i have the star right now. i have a white one and my bro has a black one.
i was debating whether to get the star or the cookie when i was in HK.
The price for cookie now is cheaper cause it has actually been out longer (about a year i believe).
It also as a more "toyish" look to it compared to the star. It's basically not as sleek.

i don't have the wifi which is a big bummer. very upset about it.
i could write chinese(simplified and traditional) and english.
it comes w/ a built in stylus.
and has a touch qwerty keyboard(cookie has the same i think?).
it sorta is annoying the fact that you can have a good surface to text w/ while ur walking/not looking. but thats the same for all touch phones.

I have the Star (silver w/o wifi ;__; T__T). And I so love it! <3 The phone is sexy and its pretty much user friendly. But it kinda lags a little bit if your micro sd's memory is not that big. I previously had 1GB and at around 500-700MB occupied my phone started lagging. ;__; But I switched to 2GB now and its running smoothly again. Anyway, the lag when I had the 1GB wasn't really bothering me unless I play videos or listen to music.

And yep, Star has simplified Chinese but doesn't have Korean which seriously ticked me off. -___-'' I was hoping it can read and write korean since its a korean phone but it doesn't. So sucks. But aside from that, this phone is love! :3

i have the LG Cookie, and although the freezing thing that people say has not happened to me yet (i`ve owned the phone for about a year) it is seriously laggy and the touchscreen is crazily insensitive. Because of this i`ve sent many black smses before, thank god i get unlimited free smses otherwise ......... it also doesn`t have flash, so forget about taking photos at night or anywhere that`s lacking in good lighting. seriously.lol.

i personally would not recommend this phone to anyone, unless you are really tight on budget and just want a new phone, and touchscreens are the way to go these days lol. It is also very very light and fairly thin with a nice sized screen ^^. The sound is pretty good too, this is coming from someone who used to use Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, it`s obviously not as good as the Walkman phones (can`t really say that about the recent ones though *sighs* but i`m going off topic) but isn`t too shabby either ^^

theeres a wifi version in all the colors, black, pink, white, silver.
i havent found any websites that sell them besides eBay but on eBay you have to be careful and look for the ones that has WIFI in the title.

the best thing you can do is go to an independent/asian cellphone store that sells unlocked phones and ask them for it, if not they can definitely order it for you.

i meant the actual phone store, owned my usually asian people haha.
i think it depends on where you are located but in california there is chinatown la and other cities with high population of Asians have those stores too.

I saw a white one with wifi at the store, but instead of Samsung it says Anycall on it.

oh i see. i live in the east where there the closest phone store is 2 hours away. i think i'll wait for the white one to come around in maybe 4-5 months. i think by then i'll find another phone lol
