TV fan alert! This is the phone that you may have been waiting for. Samsung Star^TV is here! Now you can watch your favorite local drama, stay tune to the latest news and catch all free-to-air channels right in your palm. Who say one has to stay glued to a TV? You can walk down Orchard Road while watching your favourite soccer team battle on the field!

If you have been following the latest series of Samsung mobile phones, the design and TouchWiz interface on the Samsung Star^TV will not be unfamiliar to you. Comes decked with 3.2MP camera with Smile Shot feature. And now you can flip through your photo album with a tilt movement of the phone! Tilting the phone will allow you to view the next shot.

But the coolest feature of this phone is of course the Mobile TV feature. To get the TV reception on your mobile, you will need an extendible antenna. (What? An antenna? Wouldn't that look funny on a modern phone?) Well, you do not need to worry about this at all! The retractable antenna is cleverly hidden on the top right corner of the phone and it retracts within the phone body when you don't need it. So it will look just like a regular cool Samsung mobile phone.

The Star^TV uses the retractable antenna, hence you will need to find a good spot with good reception to get 100% clear picture and audio. The TV reception performs well when watching outdoors. Picture and audio are both clear and loud enough for couples to share and enjoy their favourite programme together while camping at the beach or a picnic by the park.

One thing I wish it came bundled with is a stand for the phone so that we can rest the phone at an angle on a flat surface and enjoy the show. Now you'll have to hold it or find a phone stand for Star^TV.

I will recommend local TV programme fanatics to give the Samsung Star^TV a try. This is useful if you are always on the go outdoors and would like to still be able to catch your favourite TV show. And did I mention that you can record TV programmes too?
