good one for average moblie users. FM is very good. I need some technical advice regarding a problem which I am facing. This is regarding 'Cell information- ON' under the menu 'messaging' The tower name is not displaying at all times. Sometimes it displays then suddenly it will go and displays after 1 or 2 days.If I am moving from one tower to another tower sometimes the tower name will not automatically change. How this is happening? I hope somebody can share their experience regarding this problem. Needless to say Nokia phones are too good for displaying 'cell information'.

battery lasts for 2 days using FM for 3hrs per day. After upgrading software in SE J230i loudspeaker volume has increased & is louder than nok6030.FM RECEPTION is EXCELLENT definately better than NOK6030.Fm sound is the best in this phone(IT BEATS ALL THE PHONES IN THIS SEGMENT for FM SOUND CLARITY)Nok6030 is no way near to it.NOK6030 & NOK2310 has worst FM QUALITY

@nitish
Now I know that this website can be believed:
http://www.amobil.no/intern/mo...real/28475/3
According to their study, Nokia 6030 has almost 2 times longer talktime than SE J230s.And maybe you use it more active than your father.
Have you ever used that 6030 and your father SE J230 and how is the battery life? (Just want to know).
And according to you, which one has better radio output?
Thanks for your share.

what you get in you push inbox is alink to get the tune. you have to connect to the Mobile internet (gprs) to download the tune. it all depends on the ringtone sms company.

The phone is gr8. Bought for 3350 INR.
I checked out Motorola C168 and Nokia 6030 along with this.
Nokia was out of consideration coz it was too expensive(3850 INR) and I have had bitter experiences with nokia phones in the past.
Motorola C168 display is very bad. I was considering it only till I took it in my hand and after looking at its cheap display, it was completely out of consideration.
However, there are a few shortcomings/limitations in SE j230i. Ppl wanting to buy this phone might wanna check out..
1. When u press down navigation key to search phonebook and call someone, only 1 character phonebook search is possible. You cannot search names starting with more than one character, i.e. if u press R u go to names starting with R, but u cannot search for names staring with 'RA'.
But u can go to phonebook menu, select "FIND AND CALL" and use multiple characters to search a name.
2. The phone doesnt allow you to select manually where contacts are stored. By default, they are stored in SIM card. When SIM card memory is used up, then they are stored in phone memory.
3. You have only max 13 characters to store name in phonebook.
4. No option to delete all the contacts in SIM card at one go.
5. Difficult to program speed dials.
But overall, these limitations hardly matter, and if you are willing to spend 400-500 rupees more, this phone is much better phone than C168.
Some things I found great in this phone...
1. Very good display.
2. Very good calander.
3. I hardly use radio but it sounds great.
4. Speakerphone volume is very good. Radio sounds very good on speakerphone.
5. Handsfree shipped with the phone is very good.

NO! u cannot connect it to PC. There is no DATA CABLE for it. IF U want to transfer anything connect it thru WAP Browser. U can save pic on ur SE ACCOUNT created on their web site & then can transfer it to ur phone thru WAP.

as said earlier look wise motto scores more
feature wise both have more or less same features u can get details on there respective sites.
but few imp. point to take into consideration while making ur choice......
1. no speaker phone for motto. se j230i has speaker but not as good as nokia 6030
2. motto boasts of having 65k colours & has tft/lcd screen, even after having this feature display is really poor similar to 4096k display. se j230i has stn display & 65000k display (in grid view display is not good, but in single icon menu display is quite good)further there are many freebees like themes,wallpapers(also moving), ringtones on se website.as per my findings se score more in display part even though it has stn display.both phone have 128x128 pixels/ display. in daylight/ sunlight u cannot view se j230i display as it is stn(for standby) & dull if keys activated.
3. fm sound clarity/quality--- good for motto excellent for se j230i
fm sound reception --- poor for motto again excellent for se j230i
4 moto has wap 2 /xhtml browser & se has wap1.2.1 (i don't have any idea, but i think moto will be bit faster) any one who have this knowledge please share. i have used wap on my j230i speed & download is quite good.
5 battery back up--- for moto upto 340hrs standby & talktime upto 9hrs 30min.(as per manufacturers)fm consumes lot of battery.
for se stand by upto 280hrs & talktime upto 6hrs(as per manufacturer)
i am using my se j230i without charging for 2 whole days(fm for 3 hrs per day)
for prolong battery use keep the keypad tones of, brightness to zero, do not fiddle .
further go through my review on se j230i on this site & on www.mouthshut.com
my suggestions.....
if fm is not ur choice(fm least imp.) then go for nokia 6030 everything is good i.e. battery, memory about 2-3 mb, downloadable games also
if u want only good display go for samsung c230(no idea about fm),battery life is pathetic,ir reception does not works, good memory 2-3 mb, can download games etc..etc..
moto c168 (radio motto) & sony ericsson j230i are close compititors,but as per earlier comparision mentioned sony ericsson
j230i rules & out performs moto c168 (radio motto)without any doubts in minds
moto looks good (thats the reason it is appealing many consumers),but it is is not sturdy (badily built)back cover over a period of time makes a cracking sound, glossy colours on cheap plastic body will fade gradually, poor headsets provided compared to other models in moto category, headset looks cheap.
only because of cheap price people are running for it... my sincere advice to them please pay few hundreds more enjoy the pleasure of se j 230i.you will never regret after using it listining to its fm sound clarity.no other phone in this category will give u such an outstanding fm sound quality & reception.i can bet on this one.
