6230 classic specs. PART 2

According to Wikipedia, the Nokia 6100 was said to be the lightest Nokia phone weighing 76 grams.

It would be nice if Nokia could somehow miraculously shave down the size of my dreamful 6230 classic. Maybe getting it to 70 grams or 75 maximum. That way it would be the most feature-rich and lightest Nokia phone ever!

Also, it would be nice if the Wi-Fi implementation covered verbal communication in addition to data communication. So far the average phone with Wi-Fi only covers data commmunication.

Maybe I'm going overboard but maybe the call records could show up to the last 100 dialled, received and missed calls.

Also, it would be nice if it could be Quad Band making it a stronger international coverage phone.

Finally, something yet to be achieved in any cellular phone...voice recognition (not to be mistaken by voice command). That would be so useful for CONTACT ENTRIES, SMS, EMS, MMS, Internet address entries (HTML & WAP), NOTES and Calendar entries. If voice recognition were available for those 7 areas I mentioned then that would be so helpful...physically challenged people, especially the ones who aren't able to use their hands effectively, would benefit greatly from a feature like this.

Yes people that would be my dream Nokia 6230 classic. In fact, it could be called Nokia 6230 Classic Platinum or Nokia 6230 Classic Diamond.

Nokia if you are listening do you have the magic to pull off my dream phone ? The price tag may 1 year's worth of salary but I don't care, just create it (smile).

    Since Nokia is in the classic mood maybe they could create a 6230 classic...even though it may sound a bit ironic seeing that the 6230 was meant to be a classic phone.

    Nevertheless, they could add the term 'classic' to differentiate it from the original.

    FIRST and FOREMOST the same exact keypad is a must!!! The 6230's keypad is simply the grestest I have ever come across...GSMArena themselves praise it mightly.

    Secondly, seeing that most recent series 40 phone has a 2MP camera (7390 is the only s40 phone with a 3MP) they could probably up the ante by giving the 6230 classic a 4MP or even 5MP (with 5MP, no need for N95).

    The display could be VGA instead of QVGA with 24-bit colour...basic computer resolution right there. Internal memory could be 1GB - 2GB along with a memory card slot supporting up to 8GB memory cards (Motorola RaZr2 V8 offers 2GB with no memory card) . Phonebook could accomodate up to 3,000 contacts. 500 text messages, IrDa, Bluetooth, 3G with front camera, Wi-Fi (WLAN). SVGA video recording with the available memory being the only limit. MiniUSB port, Full built in HTML browser (like Symbian phones). The ability to read document files like Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Acess & PDF. 3.5mm audio output jack so that any earphones could be used. TV-Out support. The ability to copy and move files to and from phone memory as well as memory card. A battery with similar standby and talk time as the 6310i (7 hours maximum talk time) or even more if possible.

          I would appreciate if you would pass on the message to them.

          Once I wrote what I would love to see in a 6230 classic. I will search for that post and repost it.

          786 you could probably print it and give it to your friends to show the respective people at Nokia.

              BEN, LUIS, 786 and all the others WE NEED to call, e-mail and find every way to contact Nokia and pressure them into making a 6230 classic. I wouldn't mind them making one before year end, maybe a summer release or Christmas release...what a merry Christmas that would be (smile).

                  I can't wait for the nokia 6230 classic. I now appretiate this fons screen size after buyin an ipod nano. A great and fast internet browsing experience with the opera mini and a very great downloading speed for a mobile fon. This fon is also good for keeping notes. No need to delete messeges cos u'll never run out of memory partitioned for it. Great music player with ff and rd capabilities. Loud speakers and a better fm receiver. Average quality camera.

                    I loved this phone! Got it when it first came out and never had a problem with it. Same with the 3310...2nd mobile I ever had? I wish I had never "upgraded" to the motorola pink razr...silly silly thing! I should have got the 6230i! I have learnt my lesson and I am returning to Nokia for a 6500 slide, fingers crossed it lives up to the Nokia standard I'm used to...

                            The only way to download the latest firmware is to send your phone to a Nokia care center, but if your warranty time expired you´ll need to pay a small fee.

                                  Well, I'll needto evaluate my girlfriends 6300 some days to experience if it gets warm again, but I still think it happened because it was new and needed some charge/discharge cicles. If it give probems again (hope that not) I'll take your advise an return it to the dealer to change it for another 6300. Thanks and in some days I'll reply you with information about what happened with the 6300.
                                  For the moment I had problems with my ad44/hs44 headset of my 5700 and I'll receive a new one in 3 days.

                                    Funny enough I have used my phone while charging and it never overheated. Just felt a bit warm due to the fact that it was charging.

                                    Also, believe it or not, there are times the phone feels cold during charging. Heat is certainly not an issue with my phone.

                                      Thanks for the your quick answer and yes when she had that problem she said that the phone was so warm that she needed to plug h headphones, but that happened only once. she doesn't have heating problems anymore. I think she had that problem with her 6300 because:
                                      1.-She was talking while she was charging the phone, and I think its more common to heat in this condition because the phone had plugged the charger.
                                      2.- Because it was only 1 day after she bought it and I think the battery needs some charge/discharge cycles to function properly.
                                      But I'll be supervising the phone behvior for some days if it heats again.

                                        There's a lot of controversy about this phone. Most of them being about short battery life and the other major complaint is about overheating.

                                        I don't experience either of these problems with my 6300.

                                        No matter how much I use my phone or how long I'm on a call, my phone doesn't get hot. Of course it gets a bit warm when used for long periods which is normal for any phone.

                                        Nokia would NOT make a phone to burn people. However, if your girlfriend experience overheating to the point where she can't hold the phone, then more than likely her 6300 is defective and she needs to return it.
