Samsung Star Wifi vs. LG Cookie Wifi - Entry Level Wifi-Phone Battle - KM555 vs. S5233W
Mikos H. from Cavite DM'd TP this request via Twitter two days ago:
"[TP can you do a definitive comparison table between LG Cookie Wifi KM555 and Samsung Star Wifi S5233W like the one you have for Wave and Galaxy S?] Thanks!"
Hi Mikos!
Here you go. :)
TechPinas' LG Cookie Wifi KM555 vs. Samsung Star Wifi S5233W Definitive Comparison Table
They're almost evenly matched -- with Samsung Star Wifi just having a bit longer uptime and tad more sizable internal memory.
But for me, it all comes down to design identity and form factor. And looking at the two, I favor LG Cookie Wifi. But that's just me. :)
How about you? Which one do you think is better?
