Nokia 3230 - user opinions and reviews

For the compare between 3230 & 7610,
I would definitely say 3230 for the better camera and infared existance. Somehow, when u can files into older aged phones with infared. And for the camera, u will see the different. Besides, 3230 has better connection speed, read thema again. 7610 is all about design.
For saving mp3 into the mmc,
Messages->Open->Option->Save
Why people selling 3230 at this level ?
It's easy, people think its very unstable, ugly boring design. First, for the unstable of the set, u can easily upgrade the firmware at the Nokia Care Centre and most of the problems that occured before will be gone. Boring design is just an outlook appearance, for me, what matter most if the features.
Calender & Calulator,
Yes, 3230 has them. However, if u want better applications for calender, calulator, u may easily get their applications and install.
Firmware,
No, not every countries have the latest firmware ready for upgrades. However, normally they have at least a newer version ready to upgrade ur set. Just simply sudmit ur set to Nokia Care Centre for a firmware upgrade, and if u have dust under ur screen, request for a clean up.
Hope this helps.

I’ve been using this phone foe 15 days. I think it’s one of the best phone. It is the best looking phone like N7610. Best display but sound is just OK and it has all features, you can expect. Fast connectivity using GPRS Class 10 and EDGE which any other Nokia series 60 phone doesn’t have. So if you want fast GPRS connectivity you will have to go for it!

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 ?
