Samsung S5230 (Star)

Very popular budget cell phone with touch screen around 2010.
The closest competitor was LG Cookie.

The phone became famous for offering quite a lot for a simple cell phone and at the same time it had a touch screen, which was very desirable at the time. And it didn't cost as much as serious smartphones like the T-Mobile G1, Samsung Galaxy, iPhone 3G or Nokia N97.

A nice addition is a mirror under the camera, compensating for the lack of a front camera.

This unit comes from the Orange network and has a SIM lock.
