To EVERYONE:

This phone has so many features that you stumble across new things every now and again.

A few tips that you probably won't find in the manual.

If a folder name is too long you can see the entire folder name by highlighting the folder and pressing the pound key also known as number sign key (#).

While playing a video clip that same number sign key mutes and unmutes the audio. This may prove useful if you quickly need a moment of silence without stopping the movie.

Once you connect the Nokia 6230 to a PC, double clicking a Java file (.jar) will easily install that file to the phone, whether it's a game or application. It will first prompt you asking if you would like to install the application to the phone, just say YES. This is by far the easiest and quickest way to install java apps to the Nokia 6230 and I don't see this method possible with other brands of phones. This is exclusive for the Nokia 6230.

While playing an audio file in the Music Player, pressing and holding the 'up' navigation key will REWIND the track and holding the 'down' key will FAST FORWARD the track. Many phones with Music Players CAN'T rewind and fast forward.

There's so much to love about the 6230, it's definately one of the GREATEST multimedia phones of all time !!!

    To TQ:

    You CANNOT increase the Nokia 6230's internal memory and you CANNOT install games on the memory card. Games are automatically installed in the phone's memory.

      To NAMELESS:

      Sorry to hear about your bluetooth problems. I had some problems with my bluetooth at one point in time, which seemed to be hardware related more than software. I eventually got another unit and no problems with the new unit.
      In your case though your bluetooth problems may be software related more than hardware. Do a factory reset if you haven't already done so. You can also take out the battery, MMC and SIM card and leave them out of the phone for a day. You could also take out the battery and hold the power button down for 30 secs. or more...this is said to reset the software, I don't know how true that is. If none of the above works then upgrade your firmware. What version firmware do you have at the moment ?

                  To MIG:

                  Somebody once quoted a Nokia Rep. saying that a 2GB MMC will cause the phone to EXPLODE. I don't think that would really happen. With the new firmware releases I think a 2GB MMC should work fine enough. Maybe a higher capacity would cause an explosion...but who knows, maybe Nokia may yet release more firmwares to accomodate 4GB MMC when they become standard.

                  You can create a tracklist using Nokia Audio Manager in the Nokia PC Suite software. However, depending on the version of Nokia PC Suite it may be called 'Transfer Music'.

                  My advice is to try a 2GB MMC, if it doesn't work, if the phone doesn't recognise it or if the phone recognises it but slows down the entire phone then return it and get back your money.

                    You CANNOT increase shared memory on ANY phone. The most you can do is delete stuff to make room for other things.

                              It's not possible to upgrade the processor because it's hardwired in the phone.
