I think this phone is great, but reports are correct:
1. poor battery life
2. a little slow

I had previously been using the Nokia 6230b. THAT is a fast phone, and with a LOT less bugs to deal with. The 6230b doesn't have 1.3Mpixel camera, though (only VGA) and it's screen resolution is only 128x128 (not 208x208 like the 6230i). The camera on the 6230i is AWEFUL, though. Sooooo...

I would have to recommend the 6230b over the 6230i, though. Less bugs, faster, and SOLID.

Alex,

Maybe you should. N6230i is a complete package but like I said, if you're lucky you'll be happy. If not you'll get a bad power faillure unit which happens quite a lot.

Yay!

It's one year old phone coz 6230i was released in early 2005. and you can use 1GB or 2GB if you want(I saw it on the web), but no guarantee on the speed of operation.

Does anybody no of a web site to down load the software for the Nokia 6230i to which you can use the phone as a remote control via bluetooth to your PC to operate Windows Media Player. It can be done but how?

Well folks after my last note I searched the web for more info and I found a not from a guy named Aussie this is his note. "I have a temporary solution, if this helps anyone. Delete all your voice tags and turn your phone off and on. It still ascends if you have it on Max(5) volume - apparently this is a saftey feature. But all other volumes it works as it should." Thanks Aussie. I hope this is helpful to anyone else with the sam problem cause its a great phone......Peely

The ringing tone on my Nokia 6230i has gone to asending somehow. When I read some of the comments regarding this it seems that it is always on asending. Well it cant be because Mine has only just started to do this this week and I cant get it back. Does anybody know how?

this phone won't disappoint you. but if you're using a 512mb mmc card like me, don't blame it for being slow. when phones get too good, speed has to compromise.

It's simply the best in marathan of small mobile athelites and can be sort out as a role model in handsets arena. that's why i love it very much.

All you people that have problems with this phone:go to your local phone service-man and ask him to install the newest software version for your 6230i,and also to flash your current software but before that back up the info from it to your pc,and when the repair man finishes his job and you get the repaired phone all your fears woll be HISTORY!!!

It's a great phone with a complete features that comes in a small size.. the only small size full featured Nokia handphone. They should've made more of this kind.

Unluckily, I got a lemon, and battery only stays 40 hours on stand by only. It's been repaired for 3 weeks, but I only get a little bit of improvement. Lucky you who can get 4 days stand by in normal usage! I guess, I'll replace it with another model later on when it's available like 6233 if I can afford it.

It's not the battery problem mostly, it's the power management failure! Beware!!! If you're lucky you'll be happy...
