Is there any changes in the letter font size of this new firmware software released? Have you compare it with the old firmware for other changes in the phone aside from a good improvement of nokia? Is this new firmware be available on all nokia service center? or some other country perhaps. many thanks

S,
Thanks a lot for the info. I'll contact the Nokia Care Center and see what they can do about it. I have read a lot of opinions about upgraded firmware. Can you tell me where I can get the upgraded firmware from?

The sound quality of the phone IS bad if u try listening to the mp3 songs using the headset.as i hav mentioned u could always test the quality to hear for yourself before you buy.for some reason or other, the aac files preloaded in the phone sounds ok when using the headset to listen. but pls dont be misled, pls test it with other mp3 songs. referring to the mp3 sounds playback NOT the fm radio sound.
if u want to use this phone to listen to mp3 songs, please do not buy 3230.it is not true that nokia phones cant produce good mp3 playback. there are symbian phones with stereo sound output like 6630, 6681 etc... the problem is with this model. the sound is simply unacceptable if u are going to use it to listen to full mp3 songs.
if u dont use this phone to listen to mp3 songs at all, then i think it is still can consider buying.

Zubair,
About the joystick, yes. U may get it fixed at the Nokia Care Centre. If ur lucky, they will change it for free. Or maybe, u may need to pay some money for it to be changed.
ahelintor,
According to u, about the dust under the screen, yes its a problem every 3230's owners facing but then, dont be panic. U may simply walk in to Nokia Care Centre for help. Just leave it there for a while, they will clean it for u.
Hope that helps.

Nauman,
For ur information, the cover of 3230 can be changed. And for the restarting of the hp, u may actually installed some applications which are not suitable for 3230, just simply uninstall them to solve it. If this is still going unsolved by uninstalling, sudmit ur problem to Nokia Care Centre, get ur hp fixed there as they will upgrade ur firmware to the latest version.
Hope that helps.

Arush,
The sound quality of the phone is not that good, but its not that bad. Its in mono, and most of the phones around that age are in mono, well, mostly but not all. If u want a better sound quality set, get a SE, Samsung or Motorola, they should be able to applease u.
About the file transfering problem, just download an application which is called, MsvDriveE.sis to solve it. It will change the setting of saving files in phone memory to mmc(memorycard)'s memory.
Hope that helps u.
Anymore enquires ?

I've been using da fone for 2 months now. Everything was working well till now. Recently I've been facing problems with the 5 way navigation key. The key is not as smooth as before and makes creeking noises when used. Is this repairable?

To Leo,
I suggest u get Nokia 3230 made in China. Mine is made in Germany, the loudspeaker or ringing volume is very low or soft. China made is better.

i heard that if u really want to listen radio on 6630/6680 etc u can install virtual radio but of course it is via internet not FM and u hav to use GPRS connection....
yes 3230 do pack many thing inside like radio,infrared,bluetooth,1.3mp & apps etc but a pity the mp3 sound is bad. :(

Hi. I bought this phone about 3 months ago. So far the performance has been satisfactory. Since the new firmware is now available, an upgrading should be in order. Does any 3230 user here have the problem with the dusty screen? My screen is now covered with dusts. I am afraid it is inevitable, but I wonder if there is a way to clean it?

i think 3230 is still best in its category/class compare to other rival. it is a smartpone though not 3G. 2nd its has mp3(mono), stereo fm radio, 1.3 megapixel cam, edge, bluetooth. it is very rounded cellpon. all features u want to find in a cellpon is present in 3230. 6630/6681/6680 which has no fm radio. disadvantage-ur get bored in listening just in mp3 which u hav to always download for new songs unlike if u have fm radio. k750i/w800 great sounds but not a smartphone. disadvantage- u cant install 3rd party applications.

3230 users:
i've upgraded my phone to firmware v4.0526.2 15-08-05 RM-51. yes my pon now does vibrate in silent mode when receiving messages. also the annoying beep sound during incoming call and messages became minimal which u can hardly hear. the mp3 is now good quality but still mono even u use stereo headset. my pon now is stable doesnt restart frequently.
