15 days have passed since I bought this phone. I bought it for Rs. 3,400/-
Compact, light and handy design 10/10
At this price it has all the features like good battery life, FM of great quality... bass, treble..., GPRS, picture call, speaker phone.
Once when I was hearing FM, I recieved a call. When I answered it the person on that side could not properly hear when I was talking through the headset otherwise the sound quality is excellent.
The Display and color scheme is truly awesome!
Then once when I was listening FM, I thought of playing games simultaneosly (the games are boring! Quadra Pop and Minigolf :( ) But then FM was turned off. So i didn't play game. I thought of sending MMS. Then when I removed the headset before exiting radio... the phone hanged. I broke my head to open the back cover and removed and placed the battery.
Its speaker is ok, not so loud.
In daylight the screen is not clearly visible whereas in dark it acts as a torch, believe me!
Features 8/10
Else, excellent phone. Text messaging consists of animation, picture, sound. Phonebook has a function that when someone will call the picture of the person will appear if added and assigned to the entry.
Comparing with Radio Moto C168, its competitor, SE J230i doesn't contain workd clock and battery meter. But as I'm not going china, Japan or Russia it is ok and for battery meter you ask... the battery indication on the standby mode provides a detailed 5 levels with color code like when 2 levels are remaining then yellow color 1 then red and else green. So that's also not the problem.
Therefore, I would recommend this phone against C168 as its display is disgusting whereas J230i's display and all other functions are impressive.
Performance 9/10
As on today 4th Aug 2006
Phone Price
Radio Moto C168 Rs. 2,990
SE J230i Rs. 3,400
So I don't see why SE J230i should not be bought.
Nice phone :)

i bought this cell for fm & no doubt its fm is awosome, one line for it... out of this world...i have been around with other cell phones of the same prize tag... for example Nokia 2300, 6030 have mono fm and of average quality, but Fm of SE J230i is Excellent...as it ends the limits... other features r also good... sound quality in earpiece is excellent... incall timers & call summary...sms delivery reports...overall a very good mobile... one more thing moto C168 has poor fm quality comapare to this cellphone other features of moto are not worthy ...very very bad display... cheap plastic body ... but J230i is the best buy... i recommend it for all who want a fm radio phone.

hi,
this is senkumar, i planned to go for motorolla c168 but after reading your opinion i am confused little bit now, is sej230i showing the call duration when we are speaking to others and how many numbers we can store in its phone memory. motoc168 will give a signal before completion of every minute and it shows the call duration also.

I am using J230i since from one month. The sound of FM is low when we switch to load speaker mode. So In my opnion sound should be increased and memory also should be increased. More sound clearity should be there in the set.

Yesterday i bought this set i was going for Nokia but then i thought about j230i its cheaper and also got better radio but i am facing a problem with this set..
Now the problem is i m from Pakistan so we store our Cell nos like this for example this is Ali's No 0300-555555 this is how its saved in phone book but when we receive a sms it comes like this +92300555555 the phone doesn't recognize this no as alis no if u dun save the no with full country code.. i have never faced prob like this with any other set and if u save the no with country code +92300555555 then when Ali calls me his cli shows 0300555555 and the phone doesn't recognize this no..
Anyone else facing this kind of problem ?

Hi Guyessss....
I am using this phone now from 3 months now.
I Bought the SE J230i Coz of Stereo FM, & no doubt FM rocks.
I'd Few problems with the reception in this.
Then I sent the phone to serivce & an SE service center, & they said that it is because this phone has an old software in few sets, so they has callibarated the software & this showed some instent positive effects, first the FM volume on Speaker has increased same with the speaker vol. of a call. The reception problem is with some perticular network mostly with IDEA & DOLPHIN users, as i was using an Idea SIM thus was facing this trouble, but I am not sure about this fact. I am still using IDEA but after calliberation reception problam is not that much. Well over all With SE J230i my experience was - average. If you want to have one go for it coz FM is AWSOME.......
THANXXXX.....

motto c168 has slightly good battery life than se j230i. display of motto is very poor even thou it has LCD/TFT display. FM Reception is poor for motto. sound is good (bass & treble are Equally poised)
SONY ERICSSON J230i is Overall EXCELLENT PHONE. Excellent FM reception & sound.No other Phone in this Segment can match its sound Quality.(Good BAss) (Ican bet on this one).
thou it has STN Display, it looks much better than motto 168.(I have compared it)
Only draw back is its looks(but not really bad)
I am using it for 4months without any problem
Battery lasts for 2 whole day (using FM for about 3hrs a day)
Further u can go thru my review for Sony ERICSSON J230i on this site or on mouthshut .com
QUERIES & questions ARE ALWAYS WELCOME..
U CAN MAIL ME ON GIVEN ADDRESS

It's a good phone, radio works decent !
I have only one complain : I cannot add new name numbers with more than 6 caracters. The old records (with more than 6 c) are displayed ok !
