I feel that the motion of the video is not that smooth, during recording the video, or playing it back either on the camera itself or any other device

I want to know is that normal or not? and whether that's the case for the whole sony w230 series, or its just my camera.

It may be that you don't have the right codec to play it back or that you don't have enough memory/video memory to faciliate smooth video. Doubtful it's the camera itself.

Thank you so much for your answer, but I don't think its the codec, because its not smooth even during recording the video, or playing it back on the camera itself. About the memory, I have an 8 GB Sony pro duo memory stick, which should be the best for high quality shooting, and the camera is still new, so the memory card is almost empty. Please guys, help me out here with your replies if you have anything useful for me, because the camera is still new (I just had it 5 days ago or so), and this issue is killing me. Also, I bought it online from Amazon, so returning it would be a mess, and I would have to wait like a month to get my money, and by this month I would not even be in the country. Add to that, I have actually found it cheaper on the very same Amazon, and on stores, right after I bought it, that's why all of this is getting me crazy. Sorry for making it long, but I really need help with this video issue...Thanks alot to all of you.
