I've had my 6230 since 2004 & it is The Best Phone Ever for Business minded people. Quickest texting & Phonebook entry on any phone I've tried. My phone now sometimes switches itself off every now & then but it's really High Talk time as my total talk time is a shocking 2,802Hours/116Days/3.89Months! It's shocking that I've acutuall been on the phone for nearly 4 months solid during the last 7 years! Also 40,583 TEXT MESSAGES sent & recieved!!!

It's 2009, this phone is out of fashion, but I just had to get one as a secondary phone. (Normally I'm using an E71) Even if 6230 is old, it's very simple, still elegant and the most reliable phone ever, compared to 8800, SE T610 (other oldies I have).

this phone is UBREAKABLE... amazing stuff, must be the sturdiest phone ever. i have dropped mine >100 times, once from fourth floor into concrete - and every time i just piece it back together, turn it on and get on with it... amazed to find it's like that for a lot of people - it must be the best model ever made by nokia, and yes, we all feel loyal to our trusted phone! i will leave mine behind now though, battery (BL-5C) is bloating and unsafe. but im positive i could have just changed the battery and used my phone for another ten years, easy! godspeed, thank you dear 6230i...

For a price like this nokia 6230 can be so useful.6230 has most of the features that requires for a good mpbile such as camera , video recorder , voice recorder especialy it has Bluetooth connectivity and supports MMC Card. It is very useful on taking to long journeys as it is compatible with quality music too. Although not so many people know about this model it is still somewhat popular relatively for the cheap proce.

Just havta write a review because I owe this phone so much! I have had mine for nearly 3years and it is still going strong. I am always on the internet and I can check my emails and the latest news and have never had any trouble with it. But the most amazing thing is it has lasted 3years of a student lifestyle where it has been dropped on hard surfaces at least 100 times, been smashed against walls, floors, u name it..been used as a football..the list goes on. To this day there is no phone as sturdy with all the features it has. Brilliant stuff!

This was one of the three best phones I have ever had. The other phones: Samsung D600, Nokia 6310i. So, don't go for this phone if you like to have "the best camera" and such. Go for it if you like: 1) reliability (NEVER did anything buggy) 2) speed (no phone is faster than this) 3) Sync (it syncs with mac, pc) I unfortunately lost it (fell off my pocket) and got myself the 6230i, which I didn't like at all (TOO SLOW!!!)

The best phone I have ever had in my whole life! I got this phone round about when it first came out. I still have it now in 2007, i just can't bring myself to upgrade! I've used a motorola RAZR v3i and i don't like it anywhere near as much as my faithful 6230. Countering the stupid thing that some people have said, you can alter the video so that it records for round about 4 minutes. The photo quality is great! The video quality could be better, but remember this is a PHONE people! The battery life is also excellent! It has everything the average consumer could ever wish for, I highly reccomend this excellent piece of gadgetry! 5 stars from me! However, the best phones come with their downsides. The square on hte keypad is rather fiddly to use. Also, you should have the background set to 'off' otherwise you can't see the time and the date and things, or who's calling, which to me is one of the most important thing even in this evolved world of technology.

Right, this phone I think is the best one I have had so far, however I have had so many problems with it, mainly the software that the phone runs on, for the first 6 months that I had it for there was a pixel on the screen that was constantly ORANGE!! sometimes it would not send or receive text messages, really helpful! though I have had these problems sorted out. Today the phone just does not work, when I switch it on, and go to set the time or just press a button the screen fades off but doesn't switch the phone off, well I don't think it does! Moving on to the phone itself, there isn't a zoom function on the camera until you have taken the photo, and it is just to one extent. The camera seems to be good quality, however there isn't much you can do with it, for example change it to black and white, sepia or anything else, there is just the four settings including video, also I find it a nuisance that there is not a flash on the camera, though the Night mode does assis t somewhat! The video play back I personally think is not up to standards, it is very unclear sometimes and the sound quality is awful and does not always pick up everything said. Just four minutes ? It could have the option of being extended to at least 10. The memory for this phone I think is rather dull, it says 32 mb on the memory card but the phone tells me there is only 30.2mb in all, where are my other 1.8mb of memory ? ? , the mp3 player I think is good and the hands free set gives very good quality, though the loud speaker could be louder and a bass and treble control would be convenient. Also with the Mp3 and video play back, why isn't there a fast forward and re-wind ? very frustrating I find. The overall quality of the phone I am happy and disappointed with at the same time, I am happy with the feel of the phone and the buttons textures, I find the phone to be "aesthetically pleasing" (my technology teacher should be happy now!) I do really like my phone, when it is working though, I would go through the features but it won't switch on so I can't! Another little annoyance is when sending a file via blue tooth or infrared, it does not tell you the percentage of completion! so you are left wondering how long it will actually take!!!! Oh well I've had my moan!! Thanks Bye! :D

This is a poor phone. It tries to do too much for too little money and as such is a huge compromise. The camera and video are ok if thats what you want from a phone but the central menu button is a fiddle and difficult to get to the correct screen. Bluetooth is adequate and voice dialing works well. However mine will not hold a charge and runs down within 6 hours. Has been returned for software upgrade but this has made little or no difference. I have reverted to using my Sony Erricson T360. On the basis of this experience I would not have a Nokia again.

Bought my 6230 secondhand for a good price but soon found it is very limited as a camera which was main reason I bought it. I thought it was 1 megapixels but of course it turns out it is only half that. Also found mine had missing pixels which often spoil photos with a small black area. Also the turning on is a randon event! Battery life is dismal compared with my geriatric Nokia (albeit that is a brick by modern standards, but that one has survived numerous drops onto hard surfaces and still works!) Alos the central control is difficult to use in my brief experience, often selecting the wrong choice through failing to hit it dead centre. Also trying to send MMS has proved totally fruitless after a whole week and various calls and e-mails to my carrier. I am amazed that this model is still current sales model at a price way above what I paid! I now find for only slightly over twice the money I could have bought a much more brand new powerful camera phone on 3G. Maybe later models are better built or have betetr software?

I write this after several months of use of this phone. In my honest opinion it is total junk due mainly to the incredibly poor display. If you need to use the phone out of doors you will be unable to make out anything on the screen if the weather is anything other than night or very dull and overcast. This means that dialling is well nigh impossible and the camera is useless for taking photos or for looking at photos. I have now returned to using my old Nokia 3210. The 6230 is a total waste of time and money. Even trying to install the Nokia PC Suite to make the thing interact with my PC ended in complete failure and I am not a computer novice. Avoid this phone at all cost even if offered to you free.

This phone is really rubbish. I am telling this from my experience. Nokia always cheats people with its brand name. I bought this phone and after a week i sold it only for 30% of its original price bcoz of frustration. The menu key is kind of funny. most of the time instead of select u will end up pressing up/down. No zooming function in camera. No skins. display quality is not good. No proper usb connectivity accesories......I am wondering why people still go behind nokia........#uc$

This is my 4th phone but my 3rd Nokia. I bought the 6230 just about a month ago for $285US after selling my 6310i, which I've had for two years and which, by the way, was a really good phone. Small wonder why so many folks very chasing me to buy my 6310i. The 6230 is very much in demand here in Trinidad. I am very pleased with its many avant garde features. Bluetooth works fine, camera quality is good enough when set to 'HIGH' and I've just learned from this website how to extend the video length to 4 min. The 6230 hooks up to the my dell pc via NOKIA DKU-2 USB Cable and with PC suite transferring music, pics, ringtones to and fro the phone is child's play. Regrets: phone volume could be louder, battery life is shortened significantly if you listen to a lot of mp3 files or ringtones with vibration set to on position. Fat-fingered folks will have a problem with the key pad. Overall, I have no regrets about my new toy.

I had this phone for a little over a month, so far so good. Firstly the weakness of the phone; 1. The Menu layout is plain and not very colourful- But actually its very simple that way 2. The screen looks nice, but is very small compared to the ones of Samsung, Sony ericsson. 3. There is a limit on the voice recording function..its a few minutes 4. The video recording function is a joke compared to phones like Samsung- its viewable.. but is quite pixelated on movement 5. Its annoying to change to speakerphone while making calls as you have to press 2 buttons ( In my sagem MY x-5 you just press the call button twice) 6. Dust gathers quickly behind the screen 7. You cannot fast forward or rewind video at all, you can only pause it 8. Removal of the back cover requires a technique you cannot master at first, but it can be done with only a reasonable force and movement. 9. The supplied headphones are reasonable but low end bass cannot be heard with full satisfaction- can be fixed with an pop-port to 3.5mm jack adapter which enables the use of more superior headphones. 10. Picture quality declines when photos are taken in low light conditions But there are a few reasons why i gave this phone an outstanding rating, here goes 1.Simple menu means that anyone can understand the layout of the phone by just looking at the screen. 2. The screen can be viewed in direct sunlight and the menu layout is readable 3. The speakerphone is very loud for a phone this small!The mp3 playback is quite impressive on the speakerphone 4. The picture quality is good when taking pictures in a bright outdoor environment and photo doesn't blur when taken on a moving car for emaple 5. The button in the headset is useful when recieving incoming calls when running or on a bike etc 6. Bluetooth works well with any phone, transfer of files of 2mb is no problem 7. Lots of useful java application available including free games 8. WIth a good pair of headphones, this phone has stunning music playback- good as Ipods! 9. You can buy a bigger MMC card so that you can store a lot of music, videos, pictures etc- avalable at a very reasonable price at mobymemory 10. Buttons are simple and easy to press.. aprt from the d-pad in the middle which takes ime to get used to, but you will learn! 11. Decent price since the new 6230i and other new phones pushed the price right down 12. Battery lasts a long time while listening to mp3 and radio 13. Nice and big on off button 14. predictive text is very predictive and saves a LOt of time! 15. Very good signal- in some places it gets signal that other phones dont have! On the whole, i believe this phone is a business phone but with a twist of fun for the busy person who needs to enjoy their life with just one device that does most things they need for the commute to work etc. Even though this phone might seen more expensive than other phones with simular features, it has the feel of a good phone that will last for a very long time. Buy this phone if you want a good communication device with the capability of having some fun. But before you buy, make sure you have seen it al first, some people find this phone very plain and boring while others see this as a way to make life more simpler.

I am now on the 3rd 6320 inside a 12 month contract. All have failed with keyboard and or display faults which disable the phone from making or receiving any calls. It has been a nightmare loosing business calls and time in getting a replacement and an eye opener on the support side of the operator. I used to be a great fan of Nokia but within 12 months of purchasing this model I am now looking elsewhere for a replacement and needless to say a new carrier.
