Samsung Star II Review

Samsung announced the Samsung Star II – the successor to the 30-million selling Samsung Star phone. The Samsung Star II has been designed to deliver a superior mobile social networking experience, bringing together a user’s total social life in one device and giving constant connection to networks, groups, friends and family. The personalized user-interface is complemented by the full-touch screen, providing an easy-to-use and intuitive experience.

The Samsung Star II also comes equipped with preloaded social networking applications such as Facebook and twitter as well as multi IM 2.0, which offers users an easy way to keep in touch with friends across instant messaging platforms including Facebook chat, Yahoo Messenger, Gtalk, and AIM.

Samsung’s TouchWiz 3.0 user interface provides an intuitive and personalized user experience; the home screen and widget bar are fully customizable, allowing users to adapt their phones to the way they use it. Widgets provide up-to-the minute news feeds, meaning that you’ll know everything that’s going on in your social circle. Upgraded features like QuickType by t9 Trace offers a faster and easier way to input text than standard texting – instead of pressing keys, users can trace a finger in a continuous motion over the letters of a word and the device intelligently determines which word is being spelled.

The increased social networking capability is made possible by the improved hardware on the Samsung Star II.
