Nokia 6230i

very happy with my nokia 6230i i'm on my 3rd so easy to use light strong and battery last a long time

I have owned this 6230i phone for over 3 and a half years, i've used it all around the world and it has been dropped countless times, still going strong, a very very reliable and sturdy phone, very reluctant to upgrade it, why don't Nokia make current phones as good as this ?

I have my Nokia 6230i for almost a year, and it still works like new. I really like it. No matter if are you a teenager or businessman, you will find it adequate for every purpose. The 1.3 Mpix camera captures pictures better then most of phones that have 2.0 Mpix camera. It's really loud, and great for listening music with or without headphones. It also has an EQ which you can tune to match the music you are listening. Beside the USB cable, you can connect it to your PC or other phone trough Bluetooth or Infrared. The bad thing is that the display is small, and video that you record, no matter if set it on highest quality still is BAD! It also doesn't support the MP4 video playing which can ruin your day if you want to transfer better quality video from your friend's phone. It's perfect for the price, and if you are not a hi-tech freak, this is surely phone for you. Well recommended!

The Nokia 6230i phone i very useful and practical i have found it a great phone to have and would recomend it to anyone.

Good camera easy to use good voice record good sound quality and film quality holds a lot of contacts battery life is pretty good. Overall the Nokia 6230i is very good, recommended!

I do own it now and like you reading this i did the same in looking for what other people said about it first before buying one but i have to say i was never dissapointed and still arent that i finally bought one (it was a xmas prezzie to myself). you have everything you need on it camera media player video player, FM radio etc. I think the only thing i would change about it is like i said looking for a picture tends to take a min or so but i have a 128mb memory card so it'll improve with a 512mb.

The Nokia 6230i is brilliant.

It has an amazing design,

Has all the necessary features

Is not massively over priced

Remains good quality even after time

Takes memory cards

Plays videos and has Bluetooth

I have successfully downloaded and watched several films on my Nokia 6230i, the quality is not amazing but is satisfactory (3gp videos are very small in size so an entire film would easily fit a 128mb MMC memory card)

I read someone called it ugly, that comment disgusts me, I find this the most attractive phone there is yet. The buttons and ergonomics of this phone are perfect, the buttons stand out and are comfortable, easy to speed type when text messaging.

This phone has a music player, so plays MP3 tracks perfectly (with the memory card option you can have loads of tracks! (MMC only)

The gaming capabilities are fantastic, Java 3d games...

However the memory that applications can hold is limited, so you cannot download the latest big games. However they do still make good small Java games.

This phone is great when you're bored. I always play games on my Nokia 6230i when on the tube or in a boring lesson. The games I currently have and recommend are FIFA 2007, Worms Forts, Scarface, Super Mario..(and more)

The inbuilt games are golf which is excellent quality, and a car game which I have deleted almost immediately.

When talking about phones you tend to hear about ringtones, so OK ill discuss ringtones briefly.

This phone is an MP3 player, with audio recording capabilities, so you can get your favourite song/music and set it as your ringtone!

The pre-set ringtones are great, Ancient sounds a lot like the prison break theme and was present before prison break came out.

Caribbean is my favourite ringtone.

YOU CAN NEVER GET BORED OF THIS PHONE it has changeable themes so you feel like you're using a new phone!

You can have changeable covers (expensive though)

Like all Nokia its great for speed typing, has a good calender function and alarm clock, it has a countdown timer and all the other standard features.

This phone has Bluetooth, a 1.3mp camera (not amazing in darkness and quality is reduced significantly in night mode) a not so good video camera (unless you're outdoors or it's bright) the video camera can film for ages if you have a memory card and with the Bluetooth you can easily transfer data to a computer or laptop with a Bluetooth USB or equivalent.

I'm also happy with the fact that Nokia decided to keep infra-red and a radio on this phone, these are both great tools.

The main selling points about this phone is the attractive design, it's gorgeous compared to ALL OTHER PHONES.

the shape and design especially the keypad is perfect, I have previously had a 3100, and 3200 and definitely recommend Nokia. The 6230i is my best phone so far and I will be sad to part it, I don't think I will ever see a phone that is as ergonomically friendly and attractive as the Nokia 6230i.

All purpose perfection!

HOWEVER... nope just kidding, there is nothing really bad about this phone the battery life is outstanding, the voice quality over the phone is not amazing but that is to save battery life and it can be changed.

Loudspeaker, wallet, video playing, Bluetooth, infra-red, radio, video recording,

This phone has all the accessories built in and this does not slow its performance down one bit.

this phone is GLORY

One thing is when I bought mine (second hand of eBay for £40) the infra-red screen was missing, I don't know if this is easily broken or not, otherwise phone is amazing!)

I previously had a Nokia 6230 from Orange and loved it, however after the wife put it in my Stepson's washing bag, it got wet and I lost the ability to use the yes button. I hate flip and slide phones so that put out about 70% of the competition. Looked at the Walkman phones but found them and more importantly the buttons way to small. Liked the look of the 6233 until I saw the keyboard which was awful. There were a couple of others I looked at but in the end came back to the update of my old favourite . Couple of difference's - better camera, longer video capture. One slight downer is the addition of a little button on the main control key but that is a minor quibble. It may be a little old in the tooth (bit like me), but its still a great little phone

I found this phone really easy to use and and easy to download music and games on to from my PC.

The music player and games all play very well even though I have only had it three weeks I am over the moon with this purchase. The only thing I need to do is get a larger MMC storage card. It is a nice little phone.

I would recommend this phone to anyone - another great phone from Nokia who I rate to be the best phone manufacturer.

the Nokia 6230i has reliability and easy to use 10 out 0f 10.
