I've had several Nokia phones over the last nine years and this has been the best by miles! For well over two years it's lived in my pocket, and taken some punishment, but it still works well. With a decent battery ( needs over 1000 mA hrs) it's adequate for fairly heavy daily use. I have no negative comments, whatsoever!

I had a 6230i, then got rid of it in favour of my free upgrade 6500c. What a mistake, the 6500c is good but the 6230i is the real classic. If you don't mind the 1.3m camera then everything else on it is brilliant, especially the expandable memory. Try and buy one of these in an online auction and you'll see just how loved they are! 4 years on second hand models still sell for �20 a piece. If you have one to sell, please email me on glenscotdear@hotmail.com

I've had my 6230i for nearly 3 years now and have usedm it everywhere I've travelled in the world. I just had a long stay in the USA and many of my friends and even mobile dealers there were surprised at all the features my phone has at the price. Apparently, the 6230i wasn't released there. I've used every feature on it, and other than the speed of accessing the memory card, I am very happy with it.

I've been using 6230i for more that 2 years 8 months and had absolutely no issues for the first 2 years. Only recently there have been problems with the battery getting puffed and discharging within a couple of hours. I still cant give away this phone. It has all the necessary features that are in today, sleek enough to not show an ugly bulk in the pockets, not too slim or delicate like the new phones and easily noticeable if its missing ;). I've changed 2 batteries and will buy another one soon. For long life of the new battery, my vendor advised me to only charge it for 30-45 minutes when the battery is low. I have a feeling it will work. So this is to all those facing a similar issue.

6230i..........Great phone in its day. I found one the other day in a recycle bin for mobiles. Loads of different makes and models, but this one stood out more than the others as I had one when they first came out. Since then I have never had one that comes close to the quality of menu/interface to the build of handset. Yeah it does get dust behind the cover and on the screen, but hte cover removes and you can clean it. I use a 3109 for work. I do prefer the up to date menu/interface Nokia has at the moment, but I seek a phone with little gadgets just like the 3109. I did have a 3110 for my private phone but the only extra was a rubbish camera, yet the phone was great. Why are manufacturers going away from what a phone should do. You make calls and send texts and that what phones should be about. Please please please Nokia, make a phone for calls and texts only, combine what was the 6310i the 6230i and phones like 3109 and make a great new phone with great battery life, signal etc.

I have had this phone now from when it first came out. Yes the camera is a bit sad at only 1.3 megs however I did upgrade to a N73 last year and it has given up the ghost and was not a patch on this phone. Easy to use and quick to respond, what more could you ask for but for Nokia to copy this phone and improve some of the features like the camera but then in doing that would it ruin a good phone. I am back using my old faithful til my new contract come up in November, what will I try next???

Despite its age (2 years old at the time of writing), this is still a pretty good phone for someone who wants good features, if basic by the standards of the latest technology. It is a slim, fairly lightweight (99g) handset with a 64k colour screen, 208 x 208 pixels. Feature-wise, it inludes a speakerphone, MP3 player, clear FM radio, 1.3 megapixel camera and all the usual gizmos you'd. When first introduced, its RRP was around �200 but shopping around now could well get you one for under half that. It usually comes with a standars (boooooriiiing black & silver fascia, but that can be changed to something closer to your taste. Simple to use and with good functionality, this is well worth investing in, particularly if you take advantage of some of the pay-as-you-go deals from the big retailers eg Carphone Warehouse, Phones4U etc.

i have already written a review on the W810i, now its the 6230i's turn. This phone has many different features but not the best for its age and price, too simple, low quality videos and a very very low volume on loudspeaker. overall the nokia 6230i is for the simple minded peaople and is surley too simple for me.

I have had this phone for 2 years and it has been a little gem. It has been dropped, kicked and trapped in a door and still works perfectly. The camera is a bit old school now but good for snaps on a day out the radio picks up more than i expected. Now its time for an upgrade I hope Sony are up to the challenge.

I love this phone, was brought for an xmas present last year. Much better than Sony Ericsson K700i that I used to have. Stands up to alot, I ave dropped mine many a time, and it still works, only comes of with a few scratches and chips! Everything you could every need, bluetooth, 1.3mp camera, mp3, radio etc. etc. Am looking to upgrade from pay and go to pay monthly, hopefully and N73. Will only buy Nokia in the future after poor experience with O2 X2, Samsung black sliding thing, and the Sony Ericsson!

The day i had seen this cell with my friend, i made up my mind to buy it & i did so. It was one of the best & keepable phone sets. Very user friendly & very handy. Battery life is pretty good. Mostly we talk about battery lives, this depends on our usagae. Certainly If we using this set like camera or like walkman then battery would certainly drain out.

The camera does take pictures but not at very good quality.

I had the Nokia 6230i since 2006 and it was a brilliant phone. HOWEVER, After 6 months of use the phone started to slow down, then menu got slower and reaction times to the keys were slow. The keys can squeak and move around a bit, plus the middle menu button gets more and more difficult to press as time goes on. Recently it was stolen so I reported the IMEI number and it's blocked (cheer) so now I'm looking for a new phone. I'm a big nokia fan, but at the moment there's nothing in my price range - I'm considering a Sony Erisson v630i. Good luck, 3 stars

This phone by far is surely the best phone. The only problem is that the camera quality isn't too great but at 1.3 megapixels is all u really need. The expandable memory is the key feature on this stunning phone so you will never run out of space. Also it is one of the first mp3 phones that takes a memory card from my point of view it is surely 5 stars!

This phone is rubbish. Rubbish battery life, rubbish loudspeaker quality, rubbish camera quality, the phone sometimes crashes and restarts by itself for no specific reason (sometimes whilst you're in the middle of an important phonecall), and worst of all is the speed of the darn thing. The menu responses are very slow, and it gets worser as you store more data on it, so you then end up re-flashing the bloomin' thing. The camera shutter speed also sucks because you have to hold the camera for quite some time 'after' having clicked the button to take a picture of something. Nokia dont even provide downloadable firmwire updates for this, so you have to take it to a dealer who flashes it for you. This phone may have some features that other phones dont, such as Push To Talk etc. (even though PTT doesnt work on my network), But if all those features lack brilliance (what you would expect for something that costs around �150) then its not worth it as it renders the phone: 'useless' All in all and to cut a long story short, the 6230i as it stands, is rigged with flaws, the main being the reaction speed after inputs are given; if that problem is fixed then i guess it would be ..okay

Bought the phone from Carphone Warehouse in June-2006. Needed something versatile, inexpensive, and unlocked so if I should return to the US (currently living in the UK), no problems with PAYGo plans with any network. May not be the most up-to-date, however, does everything I want. Primarily, a good cell-phone. Next, the extra little features are great. Camera is fine, MMC expansion is good, decent screen, Bluetooth functions are great (especially with my TomTom 910), and with a �20.00 adapter, works terrific with my old CARK-91 in the car. I've been a Nokia customer since the early 90's (yeah, big'n'bulky back then). This is my 3rd one. I'd definitely get something simple yet robust like this again.

This Nokia phone is great. It has a loudspeaker, it records well in AMR, battery life is good, keypad is good but on MP3 clips the sound starts to crackle when you have it on level 7. But on level 10 it crackles very loud on AMR clips. The camera is a 1.3 mega pixel which takes pictures allright. It films in 3GP video but unlike the N73 it films in MP4 video which is excellent quality. I like the 6230i alot but I'm waiting to get the N73 which is better than the 6230i with stero speakers.

This phone was good when i got it but it has worn away and really is pish. For example, sometimes i switch on my phone and it tells me to insert sim card or that my phone is blocked, leading to me having to turn it off and back on again until it works. This also happens sometimes when i have the phone on keypad lock which ruins my signal. The camera is not very good in dull conditions or fine detail. The biggest let down though is the bluetooth. It never seems to be able to work with big files or sending items from my computer onto the phone. A good aspect of the phone is the loudspeaker which is quite loud but can give unwanted distortion and fuzz. The keypad is also quite easy to use.

I've had the 6230 for a few years now and have grown to enjoy all its features. The radio reception can be a bit rough when on a train - but its a great feature as you can only listen to the mp3 so many times. Saving the audio data as .aac compresses it even more and allows more songs on the standard 32Mb Card. The camera is not too bad when you get used to it's limitations (strong light or too dark) - the video in 3GP format is a bit poor compared to the N70's mpeg recording. Java apps are fun and easy to install with the supplied software. Phones calls interupt your music or radio and continue where you left off when you hang up. All in all its a great little colour phone with good usable features. Just needs a bigger screen!

This is by a long way the best and most usable phone I have ever owned. Excellent OS, nice keypad, and a host of other features that perform much better than other phones for a similar price - camera quality is very good for what it is, MP3 player is great if you have a decent headset - the one supplied is often sub-standard, depending on which operator you get it from - with an MMC card slot capable of up to 2GB storage (NB the card supplied is usually 32/64MB, but larger ones are easy and cheap to buy). The only major flaw that I know of is the unreliability of the battery (NOKIA BL-5C). This is a model of battery that I have seen many complaints about in various forums - although the general consensus is that if you can get hold of a good one, it will last forever. (I had 3 before I got one that gave me more than one day of standby)

it was a gift given to me. it really is a great phone for me. you won't say it has the basic feature comparing it to the latest nokia but i bet this one is great. in terms of size and weight its fantastic. features are very good, except for the loud speaker that nokia needs to develop. true to its promise that it provide a much faster downloading also using the bluetooth. i have 128MB mem card that is good to carry some pictures taken, video and music. the FM radio rely on the headset to get signal. i hope nokia could do something getting signal even w/o the headset. all in all this is great compare to the 6600 ths is a little bulky and heavy

All in all decent phone, you can probabily get this phone for about �40 second hand or �80 new so its definetly worth it. Its got great features but just lacks that little something that makes it special...and the design isn't to amazing (especially the black and silver case)

I have this phone and it is okay. Not brilliant, but not exactly terrible either. Pros: Plays music, good range for bluetooth, easy access for camera and texting (shortcuts). Cons: The screen can scratch easily, and the battery life isn't too good. This phone is ideal if you're just going to use it for riniging and texting, but if you're interested for entertainment, then I would suggest something different.

I had this phone for a year and a half. I think it's a good basic phone. But after a year and a half, it started dropping calls constantly (like every five minutes) and become unusuable. Also, the microphone is oversensitive. Everyone complains to me that it picks up all background noise and amplifies it just as loud as my voice. This makes the phone usuable only in quiet environments. I want a phone that just works well as a phone. I thought this would be it, but was pretty disappointed in the end.

Ok phone i hve had it for about a year now and i am starting to notice problems, with the phone dropping calls and the internal arieal starting to stop working. good picture quality and good overall setup of phone, just a couple of dissapointing problems with the phone. overall good if you are not using the phone constantly each day, but if you are steer clear will only cause problems.

A warning to any of you who are (supposedly) upgrading to this phone from its fore-runner, the 6230, you will find it slower to react and you can no longer take a picture in quiet surroundings without disturbing anyone, it has a very noisy click! I was on e-bay to get another new 6230 and selling the i within a few weeks of its purchase!

I have had this phone ever since is was brand new and cutting edge- I love it! It is reliable, neat and smart with a great camera etc on it. The buttons are user friendly- very important for a texter like me. I charge it infrequently, despite the fact the battery is over 2 years old! It has been through the washing machine and tumble dried- and dropped in a loo (don't ask) as well as hitting the deck a fair few times- it is very well made, unscathed and I'd say unbreakable! Highly recommended for those who do not feel the need for a phone that can blow their nose for them...

Theres everything thing you need a camera, infrared, calander, alarm clock, bluetooth, GPRS, games, expandable memory, even options to change text size.Nokia have really thought about being able to sell this phone a wide target audience. However. - Battery life. It lasts days. Bad points: - Camera, To be honest this camera really isn't keeping up with standards expected in 2007. - Aesthetic appeal, its rather basic and although there are interchangable covers, its really needs a new design. - After about a year the speaker on this phone tend to break, however a year isn't bad as the sound quality is amazing for that whole year!.

In my opinion, this is simply the best phone available in the world. I bought this phone first month it was out, as an upgrade from my 6230. Was a little wary at first that it wouldn't present much of a difference, but hell am I happy I got it. I recently upgraded to a Nokia N73, wanting more. Instantly regretted it. The Symbian was dodgy at best, like a cheap version of windows in its performance and speed (don't think Nokia have quite got the hang of Smartphone OS and Third-party applications). It also shut down and crashed in exactly the same way it's reported to do in it's reviews. So I went back lovingly to this one. It's still as good as new, but I may even buy another one now to take over when it passes away! Breakdown: Camera: Perfect for a phone (Want more pixel? Get a Digital Camera). Music: Capable if I wanted music on it- with a memory card slot to easily expand (Want more music? Get an iPod!!). Keypad: Best. Look: Stylish, good weight for flipping around like a cocktail waiter. Sturdy?: Exceptionally. Mine's really quite old and I could sell it as new. Very tough little phone. 6 stars out of 5.

This really doesn't seem a big deal, but when you want to crack out a quick text or perhaps do something simple like take a photo, you have to press.....wait..... wait.... then maybe you'll be lucky on the next screen. Nope, texting is slow too. Save yourself the pain and don't get this phone. If it weren't for the clear screen I'd go back to the 6230. :(

The 6230i is a good all-round performer; it does what mobile should do, call and text. If you want something more then your reading the wrong review and should go out and purchase a digital camera or an MP3 player. People forget especially with mobile phones that a camera is more of gimmick not a serious tool for taking pictures you take one or two or stupid fuzzy ones when your on a night out and then delete the pictures latter on. The screen is good; no problems at reading or making txt messages and you can see whose calling etc etc. Please don’t listen to people who write reviews with abbreviated words if they cant be bothered to write words in full then they probably haven’t had the time go through the phone properly and just complain because they have nothing better to do. And remember a mobile is for calling and testing, also you should ask yourself how many times do you use any of the other features through out your day, it’s also under �100, cushti

Here's my ownership experience: 1) Better than the E70 (but then, just about anything is) and more dependable than the N73: it didn't freeze or crash during my time with it. 2) Calls were not cut off or disrupted. But that was largely because they were missed: Nokia thinks it's a great idea to provide a mobile that's totally inaudible when you're outdoors in Sainsburys or wherever so that you only (just) hear it ringing at the precise moment the caller rings off. Well, that's pretty brilliant R&D then. 3) The screen -- well, my screen at any rate -- seemed readily affected by dust. Dust not on top of the screen but under it. So whatever definition it may have had, it very soon lost it. 4) I didn't propose to purchase it for the camera. If I want a camera, I use a Nikon or Canon which don't have phones attached (hey, that's radical, man!) So as a camera, it's exactly what its spec says it to be: the equivalent of an unbranded �10 thing from China that gets flogged off on eBay to people who wouldn't know a pixel from a pixie. 5) It went back to the supplier. The third Nokia to be returned. 6) The supplier said it could be upgraded with a firmware fix to solve the problem of ascending tones. I declined on the basis that if a mobile phone manufacturer actually thinks it was a good idea in the first place to produce an inaudible mobile phone, then that's a manufacturer I'm really not interested in bothering with, thanks. So that's three Nokias gone. All I have left in my possession are two of my original Nokias. They are green with black tops and I wear them in the garden. They are called Nokia boots and I bought 'em in 1986. They were produced by Nokia before cell phones were ever heard of and they share with the 6230i the same abiding characteristic: if anyone rings my garden boots, the left one or the right, I can't hear them calling.

Firstly, I wish Nokia still made the 6310i - I really miss its size and superb battery life! The 6230i, is probably the natural successor to the 6310i and it's a really good phone that, after 6 months, has grown on me! The only shortcomings are that the battery life could be a bit better and I wish there was a sleep/timer function on the radio - which is excellent. Overall a solid, good looking, easy to use and durable phone.

have this phone for 1 year now and i dont think it is keeping up. the screen is poor quality and it says it has a 1.3 mp camara but quite frankly it looks like it is a 0.0000001 mp camara. in order to shoot a picture u have to keep it dead still. the slightest of movement means its a blurry pic. apart from that i havnt really had any probs with the phone but its not really a phone that u can have alot of fun with. it just feels boring. the conectivity is good bit i couldn't view a video sent be a friend with a better phone cos the quality was too high. If it wants to put it name out there as a great phone then it needs to sort out the screen quality and camara and get some fun features.

The phone itself overall isnt half bad really. It's easy to use, its fairly reliable (mine resets 1 in 15 times you go onto video, but thats it - v3.62)and the stills are very good quality. Also, the speakerphone is louder than most phones and you can expand the memory upto 512mb (which Ihave done). Now the bad bits: the video quality is terrible - all distorted and not that good really. The screen is waay too small for a phone of this spec, the battery life isnt anything to shout about, the covers are extremely difficult to remove until they ahve loosened up and on myine the pop port plays up so when you connect to the computer you have to hold the plug in a certain position for it to connect properly. On the whole, the phone isnt bad really, but could be alot better.

I had the privelege of owning Nokia's (justly) legendary 6310i business phone for years, but like all of these dang things it's ridiculously sensitive to water, or in this case, a cc or two of beer splashed on the keyboard killed it. I was crushed, and went out looking for a new phone (btw I'm an engineer for a telecom provider). I chose the 6230i, thinking from the pics that it was more or less the same size as the 6310i. What a surprise I was in for. This IS NOT a substitute for the venerable 6310!! It is a miniature video-game toy with telephone functionality whose battery barely wheezes through 2 days (I don't call much and move in areas with very high signal level...but in the French countryside, it barely makes it through a day without recharging)(no, GPRS was not running, I keep it turned off). The keyboard is microscopically useless (the 6310i had *great* tactile, positive keys). At once I set about replacing it...I got a 6103 which is very similar in terms of fea tures (REAL PHONE features, like Nokia's still unbeatable, logically intuitive user interface), but a much nicer phone to USE. If you want basic phone features (voice & SMS) and don't care about megapixels and surfing (on a PHONE, fer cryin' out loud....), the 6230i is probably not what you're looking for (and battery life is _terrrible_)

After trying lots of different types of phone I eventually decided on the 6230i and am really pleased with my choice. I'm one of those old fashioned typed who just wants a phone to 'do what it says on the tin' (i.e. make and receive calls easily and have an easy to use text messaging system). I wasn't that pushed about camera or MP3 player quality coz I have a good digital camera and an iPod. I knew I needed a Nokia because of poor signal quality in my house and I have found Nokia aerials to be much stronger in the past (e.g. the same sim card in my old sony ericsson has much poorer coverage than a nokia). I also wanted Bluetooth but didn't really care about the other 'fun' stuff. I find the signal strength on the 6230i even better than previous nokias and the whole thing has an intuitive ease of use and bright screen displays that make it a doddle to use as a business phone (which was the basic reason to buy it). Having said that the extra features are proving quite fun. I l ove the MP3 ringtone facility. I can take an MP3 from my iTunes library (on an Apple Mac) and edit out a particular phrase (I use Quicktime for this editing) and Bluetooth it across as a ring tone. This way I can get my favourite air guitar solo as a ringtone - cool! I can edit photos using photoshop and transfer them across to use as screensavers, wallpaper etc. I like using the radio on the phone but found that the headphones that came with it hurt my ears. I found a converter on eBay for a couple of quid that allows me to connect my earbud headphones so that problem was easily solved. Some minor gripes. Yes the camera is a bit grainy (but what do you expect from 1.3 megapixels? if I want better quality I'll use my 'proper' camera) and the video won't win any awards but so what? it's a phone for God's sake! Battery life gets a lot of stick on reviews but its okay for me (I put it on charge every second night. So far anyway, I really rate this phone and would recommend anyone to buy it.

My sister bought one of these phones and it is brilliant, so I bought one today to replace my Orange SPV C550 (HTC Hurricane), and although I'm disappointed I had to outlay for another phone I'm glad I did. I like the sleek silver design and the Xpress-On covers make it easy to replace the case should you crack the screen or any other part of the case. The screen is a lot clearer than that of the 6230 and the camera seems great. It is really easy to use, and the ringtones, of which you can have MP3 or AAC are very loud which is useful for me as I spend quite a bit of my time on the east coast of England and the wind can pick up there quite a bit. A headset is supplied with this phone which is great because you can use it to listen to the radio and your MP3 tracks discreetly and you can talk to people hands free. Unfortunately a cable is not supplied with this phone which means that to transfer things to and from a PC you have to buy one. Alternatively you can buy a bluetooth dongle to transfer data between your PC and any bluetooth compatible phone but it is a lot slower than cable. I bought a cable for the phone and with Nokia PC Suite it was easy to set up, and I was able to transfer all the contacts and appointments from Microsoft Outlook to my phone. There is one gripe I do have about this phone however and this is that the speaker can vibrate against the case and distort the sound which can make it hard to hear who you are speaking to. This fault was sorted initially by the people at the O2 shop this morning but it recurred this evening, and I fount that blowing into the speaker seems to prevent it. This is a good phone however, and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a good, reliable yet stylish phone to buy it, and if you are an O2 customer in England, buy this phone from the O2 shop as you may be eligable for a discount. Even if you aren't, �129.99 is a good price for this handset

I have tried the Samsung D500 and more recently the D520. On the face of it, both these devices are great. They look good and feel good in the hand but once switched on and in use, their short comings become very apparent. Firstly the 'start up' screen on power up. Any machine or device that starts up with the word 'fun' immediately tell me that its not a serious device at all, it is but a mere toy. Then there is the matter of tapping out a text. What should be a one handed job becomes a two handed task as both of these phones are top heavy when open and the second hand needs to be employed to stop it from being dropped. I have no doubt that they are great devices in their way and will appeal to the teen market but if us adults want a good, solid reliable phone with reasonable battery life and a host of practical functions then the Nokia 6230i has to be the one to choose. Texting is a doddle and the screen, while not the best around is plenty good enough. It does enough, in my opinion to appeal to the gadget heads among us but is easy and fun (there's that word again) to use. In a nut shell, if you want a toy, go for the Samsung but if you want a piece of quality equipment then the NOKIA is for you.

Nokia 6230i is probably the best cell phone I ever had. Out of all phones, it captures the best features: camera, bluetooth, video, MP3. Not only that, I got mine unlocked which means that I can use it with Cingular, AT&T, T-Mobile, Fido, Rogers AT&T, Voicestream, etc... I also got the best price. Usually prices on these Nokia phones are WAY high!!! Now compare this phone with a V3 RAZR, EVEN A PINK ONE :) The only potential downside is battery life. It is somewhat shorter than the 6230, but then look at all the features. It's worth it!

hey, this phone is great in every aspect. but the problem with these new models of Nokias is the dust collection on the screen. can't imagine a brand with such a great name and fame haven't been able to rectify such a simple problem till date. they all need is to increase the hight of the rubber gasket around the screen only by 0.5 mm and this problem will be greatly reduced. (it'll avoid to remove the express cover every alternate day to clean the screen) they don't really need an advise from me with those high tech engineers working for Nokia round the clock. Nokia.......wake up....it's a real shame. Look at all those cheaper models by other manufacturers, they have taken well care of this problem. Even cosmetically Nokias are far behind other brands. but the saying goes...NOKIA MEANS MOBILE...MOBILE MEANS NOKIA no matter what they produce. Hail NOKIA.

This phone has performed wonderfully. It is only one small oversight on a security 'feature' that Nokia comes up lacking. The Java Application Security won't allow unsigned (read: free) applications to access the data on the phone/mem card without numerous (annoying) security prompts. The 'Always Allow' access option is greyed out, and Nokia have informed me that: "This is desired behavior. It is to prevent unsigned (read: untrusted by nokia) applications from having unconditional access to user data" I feel that this feature is a decision best left to the customer. If you want to use an application like that, you should have the option to disable that security, and not have Nokia decide for you which software is 'safe'. This would also effect people who develop software themselves. In conclusion, this caused the 6230i to lose two stars. It would have scored a 5 if this 'feature' had been properly thought out.

The first one had a faulty screen. The second, third and fourth all used to default to almost silent - ascending ring tone. I was informed that I was the only one who had reported a fault like this - but check out the other reviews on this, and other websites! The fault could only be reset by removing the battery while the phone was switched on. This would give a temporary cure - until the next time!. Also, the second replacement had an unacceptable echo on the handset - I could hear my own voice through the speaker, as well as the other person's voice. It was like speaking in a tin can. Not a good experience with Nokia. I'll let you know how I get on with the Motorola V3.

I upgraded from the Nokia 6100 and this 6230i is a million times better. The screen is brighter and clearer, the software is faster, its overall a great phone and real move forward for Nokia. I chose the 6230i as many phones on the market today are getting bigger again and my 6100 was perfect pocket size. The 6230i is slightly thicker, and you can feel it more in your pocket but its features make up for that and its still one of the smallest phones packed with many more features and better software than the Motorola V3. The Motorola V3 has an mp3 player too, but only has about enough memory for 1 song!!! The 6230i can be upgraded to 512k and plays mp3's excellently. There is even a stereo headset included in the box, AND if you buy a bluetooth headset you can play your music wireless! Excellent. HOWEVER... one BIG problem is these features SUCK battery life. My old 6100 would last days and days. If I use the mp3 player, and send texts (which means the bright screen is lit up) and talk on the 6230i, the battery disappears on you!!! If you are just talking on it for a few minutes each day it will stay charged for a few days, but if you use all the features, you'll have to charge it reguskarly. I don't mind charging as its worth it for a great phone, and charging takes no time. I definately recommend this phone to anyone looking for a loud, clear, easy to use phone with mp3 player.

I was very dissapointed with this handset. I had to return the phone 3 times and finally cancelled my upgrade. The first handset repeatedly turned itself off without warning, the second t had a faulty screen. To top it all off, the third did the same - turning itself off AND a faulty screen!!! What happens if you miss a call because your handset turns itself off?? - worth the risk??? I also noticed dust collecting on the inside of the screen - v annoying. I was very dissapointed by nokia this time.

I used to own a 6230, and I think that other people who follow this upgrade path will also find the 6230i a bit of a disappointment. Ok, so the screen and camera are better and they've improved the games, ringtones and graphics. It's a small, neat package, and is as attractive as most Nokia phones. In short, it does everything I want from a phone - makes and receives calls, text and picture messages, in a small, light package. On the downside, however, it's significantly slower than its predecessor, something that you'll especially notice if you use the key combinations to navigate the menus - it can't keep up with your key presses and drops them, taking you to places you didn't want to be. I think the problem is that they've tried to fill it with "upgrades", but have ended up adding functions that most people will never use or wouldn't miss if they were removed at the cost of overloading the memory. Take, for example, email synchronisation via WAP, "themes", a "sound equaliser", a translator (!), a "walkie talkie" - none features the average person is ever going to want. At the same time, they've removed some of the most useful features, such as the ability to automatically delete/overwrite text messages to stop your inbox overflowing, and you now have to delete message reports one by one. The camera is now slower too, making it hard to capture the moment, and battery life is even worse than the 6230! I wish I'd stayed with that and waited for the next small Nokia.

Overall I think I shouldnt have wasted my money, upgrading from the Nokia 3200. The battery life is abysmal (max 2 days, if you do ANYTHING), the camera is only marginally better, and the typing in sms form is SLOW. That's not the worst of it either. I have already returned the phone once with software problems, and now this second handset is doing the same problem as the first one. The phone has a bug, the keypad locks occasionally when you try and type any sort of sms. It locks up, and nothing can bring it back, and then closes down the phone. Then when you turn the phone back on, it opens at the main screen instead of going through boot up phase. I have had this model phone for exactly 7 days, and it has happened 6 times. If anyone else has heard of this problem please post.

the HYPERSUPERPHONE - had a 6230 before. I thought having a similar looking 6230i wouldn't make so much of an impact. but i spent 8 hours drooling over the new features. was supposed to buy a samsung d500.....6230i is way ahead!

I have recently purchase the mobile & love it with its mp3 capacity and digital sound - woh!!!!!!!!. About the camera it also good especially in a day & look is so simple nobody can say this is a expensive mobile because of screen size but the all function all very nice. The last thing is radio/visual radio which was excellent & mind blowing. You can also load any document for your official purpose also.

THIS IS THE WORST PHONE EVER! Bought this two weeks ago. It has all the features on paper but in real life they don't work well. The camera shoots pictures that are grainy. The video is the worst I have seen in a phone. The design is very old. As opposed to the D500. I'm going back to the shop to return this piece of junk. I'm getting the D500. PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS PHONE. I BEG YOU!!!

I previously had a 6230, I thought getting a 6230i would be a waste of an upgrade, and I had my eyes on the D500, or the 6630 or 6680. Well, 6630 & 6680 are just plain ugly, and too heavy and bulky to be comfortable, and the D500, being a good phone, is simply not as good as the 6230i all round. You cannot beat Nokia for easy UI, fast texting and just general ease of use. Other phones may have better single things, like Samsung having a better colour screen (debatable to the 6230i's brilliant new resolution) or Sony Ericsson having a better camera, so what? If you want the ALL ROUND package, go Nokia, go 6230i, you wont regret it!
