Wowowowoow.
Amazing.
Cool Stuff.
How much did you end up paying for it?
And considering its soooooo many features, what is its battery life. I mean, if you have to keep recharging it every 5 hours, it becomes useless, you are no longer mobile.
Now you dont need to carry your digital camera everywhere, I suppose this is enough.
Still, its an amazing phone.

crikey - do need all of that stuff ?

enjoy :)

Oh! A pity it can’t warm your lunch!

wow. what games does it have?
my first nokia - 5 years ago - weighed a ton, was ugly and if it fell on your foot, you would need a cast

I agree it’s a great phone. Only the screen is a little small.

It looks huge! ;-)

Don’t want to rain on your parade, but imho a phone should be just that. A phone.

If I want to compute, I use a computer. If I want to listen to music, I use my iPod. If I want to take pictures I use my camera. Maybe I’m just a boring old fart ;)

Anyway, enjoy your new toy ;)

Thats gonna be my next mobile when my current contract runs out in Nov. Actually, I don’t use too much of other features apart from the basic stuff.. but it looks nice & appealing.

Having used Sony Ericsson T610 for the last 7 months, I am eager to see the back of it and join the Nokia club again. I luv Nokia for its user friendliness.

Sat: I didn’t pay anything for it unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately!) - I ordered it through work - for work use. Not sure how much it would cost if I bought it for personal use. The battery life is excellent - have used it for Internet access, and bluetooth and games etc. for hours - and the battery still seems to have lots of charge in it. The picture quality is nowhere near as good as my Sony 5 megapixel camera though - so not sure that I will stop carrying around other gadgets yet - but give it a few years as the technology improves … :-)

Zoe: it might seem overloaded with features - but it sure is great to have such things to pass away the time on boring journeys to and from the office!

Anand: Indeed! If only it could heat up my lunch - that would be perfect! :-)

Harini: I know what you mean re older Nokia phones! The games that come with it are “Beach Rally”, “Golf” and “Chess puzzle” - which are all very good quality - but I downloaded a few more (Java games) from the O2 Games Arcade - which are even better - the quality of the games have to be seen to be believed - they are better than you might imagine: very smooth graphics and incredibly detailed! Check out http://www.o2.co.uk/games/index.html for more info on the games.

Lisa: yes - the picture makes it look real big - but in actual fact it’s tiny! Really - you could hide it in the palm of your hand!

Maxx: Understand the sentiment completely - but if you lived with this phone for just a few days you would really love to appreciate many of its features I’m sure! :-)

Chakra: yes I have used SonyE T610 - and I love this Nokia 6230 much more! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with it! Go for it!

Heh…isn’t it funny the way the angle of the photograph makes it look like an enormous brick? It’s a beautiful phone Jag.

Can the phone play Mp3 ringtones????? I know it’s got a music player to lisen to them but can it actually use mp3’s as a ringtone(sorry for asking twice ;-))

Hi Cake! Thanks for your question - the simple answer is “no” - it can’t play MP3s as a ringtone. At least I haven’t figured out how to make it do so - and there doesn’t appear to be anything in the manual that suggests that it can. Hope that helps! :-)

Thanks for the advice Jag, but i still seem to keep getting conflicting information on the subject, read the manual myself and it doesn’t suggest you can use mp3’s but rang the club nokia customer line and they say you can!!! plus see reviews at url below, they seem to have done it??

Hi Cake, yes - you’re right - I read one of the reviews that explicitly stated that you can use MP3s as the ringing tone! Now that is quite puzzling - maybe I haven’t been doing it right? I will now have to try - unfortunately I am away from home at the moment and I don’t have the capability to bluetooth an MP3 onto the phone - so I can’t try it until I get back next week. But I sure will give it another try.

Hi jag, let us know how you get on with your tests next week, I haven’t got one myself yet but if it can play Mp3 ringtones it will certanily help my decision to purchase one.

I’ve read the phone can have problems if the MP3 is stored on the MMC card so if you give it a go make sure the mp3 you use as a ringtone is stored within the phones internal memory!

Thanks and let me know how you get on.

Look forward to your post

Jag, something else to try if the Mp3’s still don’t work as ringtones,

Load the mp3 into nokia media player (Nokia Pc Suite) and then do a save as, and save it as a 3gp Audio file (*.AMR), download this file to your phone and see if it can play that as a ringtone instead.

Thanks in advance

OK - Cake - will give it a go and let you know next week!

Jag!, got myself a 6230 on the weekend and boy do I love it, I’ve also managed to set mp3’s as ringtones! downloaded some simple mp3 sounds from the internet and transfered them to the phone, selected them as ringtones and no problem at all.

Hi Cake, congratulations! Yes - I also tried using an MP3 as a ringtone and it worked! Perhaps I was doing something wrong the first time I tried. I have to admit that the sound quality from the 6230 is excellent.

Cheers for your help jag!!

P.s the sound quality is great..
