Nokia 3230 - user opinions and reviews

Read some sad comments on the 3230. I got a suggestion: check out the specs of the 6230i, its got 1.3mp, 1 hr voice memo, STEREO mp3, aac, m4a player, STEREO fm player, 208 x 208 display (3230 has 176 x 208)....and best thing, its CHEAPER than 3230. I used the compare function on this site and think 6230i beats 3230 handily in terms of features. Good luck!

playa: note that no matter how many times you're repeating your question, if no one has yet to post anything except for the kind soul before me, there's nothing you can do to force-an answer out of us.
pls direct your questions to nokia to appease your soul.

Hey playa,
I dont think this is the first time you're posting these questions, anyway,
even if there's no overwhelming improvement in the video of 3230 over 7610, you cannot fail to observe the sincere efforts taken by nokia to improve video recording. And as far as the pictures go, 3230 capture pictures at 1.23 MegaPixel and not the 0.3mbpix as what you said, and needless to say that the picture qualities are nothing less than excellant(the small problem we're facing here is that the pictures when taken in max resolution take some time for capturing, say some 5 to 10 seconds).

fawzy (sounds like FUZZY bear from The Muppet Show)
If ur SOOO interested and SOOOO disturbed abt MP3 playback quality ..then get 6230i k??
then, your next question would be 'But I want a Nokia..and 3230 looks gd, wat's the difference between them both??'
then we'll answer you...3230 runs on symbian...6230i is of the Series60 'OS'. To compare 3230 wif SE and Samsung...all hv their own features n innovations.
Eventually, just get a dedicated MP3 player n solve all problems k. "But..but...i want a stereo mp3 player in my hp.." then get 6230i or e other models u've mentioned.

To FaWzY:
What sort of a question is that, if you're interested in MP3 playback, you can put your money on W800 without any doubt whatsoever, depends on your preferance. You can compare these phones' specifications on this site itself. So wait patiently and take a wise decision.

Very strange...
at the end of the day, its wat you feel for the phone...design or specs-wise or price-wise?
what is your budget? watever the models are in their respective budget, how would samsuddin advice you? they're priced in that way oso due to the date of their launch. 6670 is an older model, naturally, its cheaper and its for the biz-ppl.
larger memory for the 3230, if you've at least read the previous post, you can purchase a 512mb rs-mmc card of another brand and it works perfectly well. meaning to say, yes, there are larger memory cards available, but of different brands.
if samsuddin's model has dust settlement behind the screen, would it stop you from buying? depending on the the batch production, it is natural that dust may seep thru the gaps somewhere somehow. should it become tooo dusty, just bring it back to any nokia care centre for some maintenance. either that, get a 6670, coz you can change the housings.
the internal memory of each model has no bearing on the speed of the phone. same as computers, the faster your RAM, the faster your computer, the more harddisk space in your harddrive doesn't mean it'll work fast.
yes, you can install programs on MMC. how? read the online manuals found on Nokia's website.

hey samsuddin
please help me select a phone: 6670 or 3230
price in pk: 6670->Rs21,000 & 3230->Rs23,000
now please tell me is there a larger memory card available for 3230. a 64MB or 128MB. and how much would it cost.
some people complained about dust settling behind the screen in 3230. have you encountered that problem.
is 6670 faster than 3230 because it got 8MB internal memory?
can you install programs on MMC?

Every phone has it strength & weakness, no perfect phone at all. I personally have used different brands and models for many many years. During the 80's, Motorola always people choice, in the 90's when ericsson launched the 337/338 model-it became the market leader for quite a while when Nokia came out with 5110/6110 Human Technology overtook it. Till now, still nokia market.
I always tried many new models and brands but eventually still goes back to Nokia phones. It's so user friendly & my latest phone is 3230 after using 6230, 7610, 6670.
Initially, the 3230 phone design look awk but after a while it's ok. I discovered that the phone is actually slimmer than the rest, keypads are bigger, best of all it has both infrared & bluetooth as normally all the new symbian phones only with bluetooth.
Overall, this 3230 is not a perfect but a very good phone as it got everything what 6230i offered and in addition of Symbian software. Hope those who may not afford to buy this 3230 or some reasons, please do not have too many negative comments. If nokia phones still got so many comments, I wonder how if they use motorola or siemens phones.

hey guyz i have used all the 4 phones which u hv been discussing all this while coz all my friends hv 1 of these phones 3230,6630,7610,SE K700i.
So i am posting my review which would make things easier and clearer for u.
Camera:
6630->3230->7610->K700i
6630 rulz in camera.Also while taking pics K700i is faster than any cell phone.
Sound:
6630->K700i->3230=7610
6630 speaker is stereo so it's good listening while speaker on But in headphones K700i rulz(no cell can match it,simply awesome!!)
Radio:
3230=K700i
None of the phones is a complete phone.
6630,7610 lack radio,K700i lacks symbian and memory slot,3230 camera is slow while taking pics and joystick too hard and keys too small(u dont get a grip on the phone).
Since i want a phone to be complete with all features so 6630,7610,K700i out of contention.
3230 was the one i was looking forward to but after using my friend's for a day,my thumb went soar using the joystick and camera quality not upto mark.
So i hv decided to wait for other phonr or maybe i'll go for 7710.
Any queries!! guys

I took a picture of my friend... the picture looked alright on the com ...
But it looked compressed in the phone because of the display ratio..
And for the guy who flood the third time..
U think GPRS fees are cheap?.. Who would spend money and save a streaming video jus to inform u?..
