    hey guys!!!

    i will just ask if this phone is okay. Especially the video and also the camera. Because i'm planning to buy a phone and i picked 3230 because i like its features. Actually i also like 6600 because of the shape but it doesnt have fm radio so i just choose 3230. but i still need your help and opinion to be satisfied if i really made a good decision. because i've read some of the comments about this phone and they said that the video is not that good.
    So guys i really need your help this time. Hope my questions will be answered as soon as possble. i dont want to have the same mistakes again when buying a new phone.i dont want to regret it.

    Peace everyone! :)

        Last time I face the same thing like u b4 quite a few times. However, I'm not quite sure exactly what's causing it though.

        What I normally do is try not to install/run any memory resident program like the antivirus program in my memory card. I think those memory resident program keep some files in the phone memory and when u take out the memory card, it's like taking part of their body away so they go crazy sometimes.

        About the apps coming out of the folder, normally it happens when I put my memory card to other phone or put other memory card to my phone, and then put back my memory card. It doesn't happen always. Now whenever I want to take out my card, I'll try my best not to have much changes to my phone while it's w/o the memory card. Same thing goes to the memory card (try not to have any changes done to the system files/folder when card is not in the phone)

        BTW, I think I came across b4 a program claiming that it can memorize the apps position and folders and that when u run it, it helps put everything into the recorded order again. Forgot what name is it and didn't try it.

                      To MiHai,

                      What a person, if you don like the phone, why did you purchase it in the first place? Obviously you have done your reseach b4 u bought it. Anyway you can jolly well sell this phone off and get a better one! No money to switch phone? Then stop complaining you fag. There are happy users of 3230 too, as long as the S/W is upgraded!

                            this phone acts strange!first of all the camera is NOT so great,if you record video you'll notice that on fast moves the image gets squared,the night mode pictures are TOO bad for a decent photo(you'll see colored spots allover it)plus that they look ugly on PC(even if it's on night mode or not).Oh,and about the video recording,if you record with sound the clip does NOT run smooth(it's like the phone jumps over frames).Another major holdback is that the phone RESTARTS ALOT(!!!)I know that this can happen because of the apps that are not compatible with it but...this is too much.Maybe it's me but my old nokia 6600, in a year of usage restarted himself max.3-4times plus he was reacting normal to this kind of apps: didn't launch them at all!The only thing that you can do with 3230 not to restart himself (because of the incompatible app) is to uninstall 'em AND THEN TO MANUALLY LOOK FOR ANY "LEFTOVERS" OF THE APP AND DELETE THEM YOURSELF(which is NOT too pleasant is you have uninstalled 4-5 of them).In my opinion,CONS are:
                            -video recording - not too good in quality
                            -photos - worst then my old 6600 especially the night mode,which s u c k s!
                            -you have to wait a half or a second before you move the phone after taking a picture, otherwise you risk to photograph something else
                            -JUST a few of the old apps(eg:N6600) work on it
                            -RESTARTS ALOT!!!
                            -the beep before the melody starts when you have a call or before a message or your alarm clock starts which I find it to be a bad joke(it can be reduced in volume if upgrade -as I heard - didn't try it,yet-BUT it cannot be removed)
                            -the mp3 player IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!I can say it's useless
                            -the zoom on saved pics is wayyyy too slow(even on 48kb pics!!!)
                            -signal bars have the tendency to drop to 1 all the time in the same area where my n6600 was having full bars
                            -for a new phone the battery is not what i was expecting
                            PROS:
                            -ringing sound is loud and pretty clear
                            -the screen is clear enough
                            -custumization
                            -very clear sound when talking on the phone in noisy places
                            -it installs/desinstalls apps very fast
                            -Fm radio which has a really GOOD sound

                            As a conclucion:I'M VERY DISSAPOINTED!
                            Hope this helped you!

                                  @lex: hmm transferrin music files using bluetooth aint a v gd idea cos files r transferred2the phone's memory 1st..So best way is to get a MMC card reader(shud be included in the phone's Welcome Kit). Drag n Drop the files on the PC usin the card reader..it'll be a breeze..
