Please share your experiences to help other people choose the product that's best for them. This is a review site, not a forum, so please don't just ask questions. Please do not use swear words or offensive language, and please, no advertising! Reviewed by nilesh on 03/07/2008Its one of the best phones from nokia as far as series 40 is concerned.... but the problem is with the earphones for 6233 music edition ( sound seems to be too low as coompared to the 6233 model ).... worth your money .... Rating: Reviewed by Dan on 28/06/2008 Got this phone from my brother, he got a new one on contract so he didn't want this one anymore. Features are awesome, like the big screen. But when listening to MP3 in the Gallery, the backlight stays on, this is a pain as it shortens battery life. Also when listening to music in player or gallery, the screen will go white with a "beep" and the phone will restart. Data is not lost. But a firmware upgrade swiftly brushed this problem away. It's got stereo speakers (they are very loud!), bluetooth and Infrared and a FM Radio. Also 2 Megapixel camera with CMOS sensor. High quality video and pictures. Exellent phone, recommend to anyone. Rating: Reviewed by Sandeep samant, haridwar, uttrakhand, india on 23/06/2008 Very cool mobile with good sound quality. Good browsing speed. Very good video captur and equal to n73. So i like it. If you want quality and feature you should have it. Rating: Reviewed by Bhalchandra on 21/06/2008 Great phone. I liked this when i had reviewed it. My friend had bought this. I asked him about the phone he just told me to have a look @ it. Man i went crazy& after few hours i also had my own. The sounds r great well as picture quality. Nokia must have given the flash for camera. This phone beats all other phones in battery performance. Web Browsing& downloading is nice. I would suggest everybody to but this phone. Rating: Reviewed by B19 H4N2Y on 14/06/2008 i think that the nokia 6233 is a brilliant phone which is so loud that no phone could be louder and it takes themes, mp3 and allot more things its outstanding. Rating: Reviewed by Andy on 12/06/2008 I have had my6233 for over 18 months now, it has been spot on best phone i have had, really dont know what to upgrade to. Rating: Reviewed by Sam Locke on 08/06/2008 I had this phone and I enjoyed it! Good points about this phone: Good quality speakers Good battery life. Good camera and good video for a mid-range phone. Bad points: Can't think of any! Now I got an N73 which I don't like at all! I give this a 5 star raiting because it's got everyhting I need. Rating: Reviewed by Thivanka Perera on 07/06/2008 This is the BEST music phone I've had! Beats the Nokia N73 Music Edition, Nokia 5310 Xpress Music, Nokia 5610 Xpress Mesic, and most of the primary phones in the Sony Erricson W-series. Hey, I'm speaking only soundwise! The camera is good, but lacks a flash and dual cam, which is a pity. EGPRS speed is unbelievable. Hardy phone(I've dropped it 3 times already! Unintenally, of course!) But the music player could have been better. But better than the Nokia 6300. Anyway, the Dual Sterio 3-D surround speakers are the best I've had so far. Wish the memory cards could have gone to 4GB, but well, 2GB is enough to hold all my music and videos.

Sometimes incoming calls will not ring. Reception bad near trees. One of the keys fell out. I have always used Nokia because of reliability. Sorely disappointed. Rating: Reviewed by Helen on 11/05/2008 I have this phone and it is fabulous! The signal is great, good battery life, and has loads of features. I would reccommend this to anybody! Rating: Reviewed by Swarup on 06/05/2008 Have been using for over a month now.. In case network dependency is your food, i have airtel and find no problems with that.. The phone works stupendously and has a great music player and awesome sound.. Its just little more than a jack of all things.. My only grudge is about the battery backup which i found little disappointing than what other nokia models generally give.. But overall, the phone works great and am extremely satisfied.. Rating: Reviewed by santoshkumar devidas tale on 02/05/2008 hallo i am san from Akola,M.s. i use nokia 6233 from 1 year,i am very much satisfied by using the handset..but one problem were there.my cellphones one speaker,(right side) gone.before 10 months..what can i do. plz.guide me about same. b,coz there is no proper service centre in our akola san......09850323201 Rating: Reviewed by Alejandro on 28/04/2008 Such a great phone, high quality sound and pictures, MicroSD cards compatibility, GREAT video-recording function with high resolution 640x480 and best quality, ever seen a phone recording so great videos as 6234 can do? NOPE. Also good photo quality. 3G connectivity to stay in touch anywhere you are, at least in my case, i never had problems by using internet functionality in this phone. High speed Bluetooth combining with IRDA and Radio. And the best is the price, for me, the best phone i've ever had. I'm really in love with it!! Rating: Reviewed by Thivanka Perera on 20/04/2008 A really outstanding cell phone! I'm a music fan, and I just love the 3D surround sound quality of the 6233! It beats the S.E w810i, k800i and the w850i as well as the w530i. In the NSeries, it beats the N70 music, N73 music, and the N72 as well as the N76. Hey, don't mistake my point; if you're the type who loves the fancy stuff like flash, dual cam, t.v, wi-fi and so on, you'll hate this phone, But for the price, it has the greatest sound effect that I've ever heard. Well done, Nokia! Rating: Reviewed by Alan on 12/04/2008 Like the phone but the backlighting doesn't stay on long enough.When looking up a number or texting the screen goes blank.Is there a way to keep the screen on longer? Rating: Reviewed by praveen joseph on 11/04/2008 i recently buy this phone. nice screen, camera clarity is very good . Rating: Reviewed by Sweetypoli on 10/04/2008 ive had dis fone for nearly 2 YEARS NOW wen i bought it it was fantastick. Great camera, display, sound quality and so on. also a major gd thing about it is that no matter how many times i av dropped it during that time it hasnt broken. when u soeak it doesnt crash and u can control the loudness of your calls. some bad things are that now wen i am upgrading my fone to a LG Veiwty that u can use micro SD cards in, it is nearly impossible to take the memory card out of the slot. Before i first got it I was expecting so much as my previous sony ericsson K800i and my nokia 6230i were perfect. and wen i did finally get it it met my expectations and had so much more exept from the fact that it was a tinny bit on the chunky side. Overall this is a great fone with a couple of bad things dat Nokia can solve. So 4/5 THIS FONE IS GREAT AND I RECCOMEND IT TO ANY1 WHO WANTS A COOL AND PRACTICAL FONE! BUT FOR THE TECHNO PEOPLE TAKE SOMETHING ELSE. Rating: Reviewed by Nandu on 08/04/2008 I liked my mobile(6233) because of it`s sound. and camera clarity and it`s zooming!!

I'm sick to the back teeth of it. Love the screen, like the camera, hate the resets, the dodgy power button, the fragile slimline power jack. Particularly dislike having to set it up again each time I've had it fixed (3 times in 6 months). I'm not going to fix it up this time - it's being replaced. Rating: Reviewed by Khalfan on 31/03/2008 I am using Nokia 6233 for the past few months and I am happy with it. I haven't experienced any of the "annoying tendency to freeze, reset or randomly shut down" as explained above. The only snag I can think of is the battery short life hence frequent recharging. Otherwise it is a beautiful thing. Rating: Reviewed by francisdesk@yahoo.com on 29/03/2008 i love this phone very nice for some one to use and it has good sound and strong Rating: Reviewed by Claire on 23/03/2008 This is a lovely fone, very quick to respond to the buttons when pressed. The built in memory is poor, but I have a 2GB card to expand it. Rating: Reviewed by hollywood64 on 23/03/2008 Not bad phone till it breaks... BTW..dont buy this phone if u plan on using video call as you have to stand infront of mirror to see who you are talkin to.. Ringtone volume need to be improved (i drive a truck and i miss alot of calls) MY FAULTS.... Whilst takin a Pic on my 6233 i go to send it via multimedia it crashes then goes to a white screen it then returns to my standby screen ..(without asking me for my pin numbers) This is my 2nd replacment phone.. I recently returned it to 'Nokia care center' in victoria Australia, also reporting one of the speakers is not working. i got it back a week later they didn't fix speaker fault & the picture scaling fault was fixed until i took a pic the next day and tried to send it, Now is broken again. * I have tried setting the image quality to MEd & LOW * and reducing the image size to 640x 480 (which the phone does normaly) * i have a 1 gig memory card in it.. C'MON nokia get with the program. My next mobile/cell phone is a Sony/Ericson for sure.. Rating: Reviewed by Joseph on 15/03/2008 To be honest when i got this phone i was really disapointed it is So rubish if you are looking for a new phone go for sony ericcson W910I Rating: Reviewed by wanjus on 15/03/2008 Hello everbody thru out the world.. Just came across this site. It's probably my fate. Really interesting opinions and reviews from this site. And so i'm here to give mine. FYI, bought this 6233 early last year 2007. And as of today, 15 march 2008, this phone is still 'something' to me. Though i can't fastforward or rewind a 3gp file. I'm still happy with this phone. Physically attractive, got weight, compact, simple yet elegant with piano black and s.steel combination. And lite blue lumination light makes it cool. The keypads, very adorable to handle. Guess what, now i'm viewing and posting to this site with my very 6233. Thanks to opera. Among the criteria of this 6233 i'm proud of are the marvellous audio + speaker (a really something to show off!) and the value for money. I bought this phone at the price of RM700.00 (around USD200.00) c/w 1Gb external memory. That can consider cheap here in kuala lumpur.

Rating: Reviewed by Matt on 07/03/2008 I am just off 2 replace this phone with a sony after many problems with it switching itself off and generally being rubbish! had many nokias all bn good except this 1 Rating: Reviewed by Chamath on 07/03/2008 Well, I purchased a Nokia 6233 on July, 2007 after referring to lots of good & bad comments. I am sure I made the correct decision. Previously, I purchased a Nokia 3200 on 2004, & at that time, it was a new one & still working without any problem during the last 3 years, so Nokia is good. The Nokia 6233 is superb to my budget. I have compared the sound quality with Nokia N Series up to N77, even with the new Nokia 5610 Xpress Music (Which they say it has a separate chip for audio), but the loudness of the Nokia 6233 wins the competition, coz it has the two stereo speakers in the two sides (The stereo speakers should be in the two sides of the phone to get the maximum stereo effect, rather than having it in top, bottom or in the same side). On 2008, Jan, I updated the firmware to v5.60 although I didn’t have any software problem during the last 6 months. Currently with the 1GB memory card, it is working absolutely fine. Even the battery is good. When concern mu sic, I use my phone to listen to Gospel Songs, & this Nokia 6233 has really supported me with that during the last 6 months. It has the features I wanted although some are not there like, office document viewing facility, a good music interface for the music player. I recently installed Opera Mini 4, Yahoo Go! And they all are working fine. I hate to play games in the phone coz it will make the performance of the phone go down, even the key pads, so no comments regarding games. Overall, the Nokia 6233 is fine & has no problems, no hanging ups, no stuck incidents, no sudden restarts. I have dropped my phone about 4 times, but nothing has happened. So I recommend who ever is favorable of the model 6233, its appearance, go for it. I bought a DKU-2 data cable for it, & it’s also compatible with the phone. Rating: Reviewed by Rod on 01/03/2008 i am a Nokia business customer and have always used Nokia phones but the 6233 is useless if like me you use hands free. it sets automatic voice tags to each entry and if you have lots of contacts in your phone but only use a few hands free it dials the wrong number. i used to be able to assign voice tags such as "phone office", "phone home" etc.. now this is not possible.i don't recommend this phone to anyone using hands free Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 25/02/2008 I liked this phone. For the few hours I had it. I updated it and it crashed the lot. now it won't work. Hoping to get it fixed. Apart from that it is great. I lOVE the speakers and i just really like it. Good quality speakers, screen, camera everything. Some people have said about the music player crashing, I found that on my old 6230i as well so I don't mind. Highly recommended to buy it, Highly recommended NOT to download update :D Rating: Reviewed by Waqas on 24/02/2008 I think these phones are very good for music and calling and the ringing tone is very very load Rating: Reviewed by ANEELA on 24/02/2008 BEST IN BEST,DONOTHESITATEJUST BUY AND ENJOY,ITS GR8 Rating: Reviewed by romeo on 18/02/2008 I am using this phone from past few months now. and i would say that this is one of the best phones that nokia had ever come up with. the sounds of its dual stereo speakers is amazing . I would say that te sound of this phone beats the latest phone in the market like the n73 music addition and other high grade phones. And camera clarity of this phone is also too good . The screen resolution is bigger than nkia 3500 which seems to be a downgrade model of nokia 6233 .The battery life is also oo good in comparison too the 3500 and 6300 which are very low in battery. Its much more stylish and compact design forces me to select this phone in comparison to 6300.It is also packed with 3g experience and gives a power pack performance when used with nokia provided handsfree. Overall i would say it as a jack of all trades and phone of victory Rating: Reviewed by dominic on 15/02/2008 it was impressive at first. before it started having a mind of it's own and would just shut down whenever it feels like it. what phone would just power off even with the charger cable plugged in?!? i've read somewhere that another flaw with this model is that it just 'locks' itself all of a sudden. no '5 wrong codes' or anything and it just says 'phone locked' and 'code error(?)'. i suggest u guys google around and start selling them before your 6233 phone bust out on you. Rating: Reviewed by duffy on 13/02/2008 excellent phone...easy to use never had a problem Rating: Reviewed by karen on 13/02/2008 I have had this phone for nearly a year now and up until nowI would have said that it was an excellent phone with a really good battery life. However it has recently started freezing on me which i find s nuisance and switching itself off. On saying that I would still recommend the phone as it did everything I needed it to with no problems. I have now upgraded to the Nokia 6301 which I hope when it gets here turns out to be as good a phone as this one was. Rating: Reviewed by khaleel on 02/02/2008 best phone in the world i recommend it to everone Rating: Reviewed by S. Uddin on 31/01/2008 the fone is out of this world, for a budget phone. it has evrything that you could want from camera to mp3 player. you can expand the meory, peoplel keep on sayin that it has software problems but my 1 gave me no problems since the day i bought it. it might be a bit chunky but the features and the way it was built easily make up for that, also nokia have made this fone so simple to use. Rating: Reviewed by john c from mexico on 29/01/2008 my 6233 is the best phone ive had its great keep up the good work nokia Rating: Reviewed by Prathmesh on 28/01/2008 This phone is best. But need of flash. And one drawback is no fast forwarding of video. Operating speed is nice as per java phone. Sound quality is good. Shape is nice but plastic is use for screen hence more scratch possible. Rating: Reviewed by Brett on 27/01/2008 I have just been issued a 6233 as a company phone,I need a camera phone with bluetooth for my work. I have used it for 3 days and plan to hand it back tomorrow. It took nearly an hour to pair it with my nokia car kit and it won't connect automaticaly to the car(no problem with my 6021)It has a mind of it's own and changes settings on regular basis. This is a fussy toy and not a serious phone, don't part with your own cash, even if it's offered cheap, there are much better phones out there - keep looking!

I bought it 4 months ago and i am in love with it! Rating: Reviewed by Gillian Gardiner on 14/01/2008 Do not buy this phone it is a waste of time and money. I had problem after problem with it from the day I got it. I took it to be fixed at a nokia repair centre and was told it had an intermittent fault and could not be fixed despite taking good care of my phone and paying insurance. I also had to buy four chargers for it as the nokia chargers stopped working after so long mysteriously I have no idea why. I had to buy a new battery for it as well (all this wasnt cheap believe me.) I was then told by the company and the network 3G that they wouldnt replace my phone or attempt to try and fix it again. Appalling these phones should be recalled. I'm so out of pocket because of this awful phone and its obvious numerous design faults I was also left with no option but to pay off my existing contract for a phone that was faulty. Costing me over 500 pounds. Take my advice and save yourself the hardship that I had to go through because of the complications with this model!

The images are somewhat blurred (tiny spots) when compared to others.It needs complete brightness to able to take good pics. The camera is not worth to be called a 2MP but otherwise its indeed an excellent fone... One shud go for 6300 if you r thinking abt this.

It's because i have the reciept right next to me as i'm trying to find ifo on warranty. Yes phone is great with one exception, the power switch see you need a knife to turn it on if you dont have long fingernails and now it has stopped turning on at all. Top resoloution, Top sound, Top customization, Poor file saving manager. I dont think i will ever purchase a non flip top phone again. Rating: Reviewed by Muana on 27/12/2007 Hey..!!

We also like using the internet with our phones. Our kids love the games!

Would have graded it 'excellent', but for one thing:the hands-off attachment - ears phones, if you like - is a pain in the neck. And not just because of the very poor quality of the earphones which come with the cellphone. The main hitch is with the socket which is meant to take the earphones. A couple of months and it begins to give you problems. Either the other party can not hear what you aresaying though you can hear them, or vice versa. So what do you do? You rush to Nokia service centre. They tell you that they may take anything up to 10 days to fix it and you must leave the phone with them for that long. At least, that is so here in Mumbai, India. And all this, if they have not fobbed you off saying the problem is with the atear-phones set and not with their infalliable mobile phone! So beware!

This one has never let me down. It is simply, brilliant! Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 19/11/2007 Have had this phone for 6 months, having always had Nokias for years but then had a couple of Sony Ericssons, a Motorola RAZR. It was like putting on a favourite old pair of shoes coming back to Nokia - had really missed them. The 6233 is a solid middle of the range phone. No particular bells and whistles, but that doesn't bother me really. Only gripes are hardware ones - microphone can be a bit dodgy; turning off and turning back on again solves that problem when it occurs. Randomly, my phone loses its dictionary memory every now and then which does annoy me. But generally this is a good bit of kit. Not the best phone I have ever had (that one of my early Nokia's which was pretty much unbreakable!), but this is as good as I have had for a few years. Camera quality is also very good.

Rating: Reviewed by meeeeeee on 29/10/2007 Excellent phone overall. Reasonably priced expecially. If you actually spend a little time it can be a fantastic media player and excellent phone to boot. My needs were to have a solid media player, solid phone and the occasional download, for this it is excellent. Added bonuses were the external speakers and build quality is superb. Using the navigation through 2 GB of music is very cumbersome however, this could be fixed with a patch, here's hoping...

Middlehurst on 20/10/2007 I have the black version, bought when it was first released here in Germany. I had changed from a pda phone to this and I wanted a sensible reliable but high facility phone. I loved this phone for about three months, then the speaker started to fail. Of course it was always working when an engineer took a look at it. Eventually the speaker stopped working al together, that means, no ring tones, no speaker phone, no beeps.

The camera is excellent, though a flash would be good. Also the absence of a "front" camera for video calls is baffling. I find the battery life poor, barely lasting a weekend away without a charge. Its the first Nokia I've owned which needs tools to remove the fascia, and although its worn fairly well it is now looking a bit scruffy. I had to replace the keypad after the "5" came off, although all in all its stood up to a lot of abuse without breaking, apart from this. I find its bluetooth much, much more reliable than that on the 6230 it replaced. When I first saw this phone "in the flesh" I was disappointed that it seemed "big" compared to the 6230 but i the end I've been very impressed over a year of trying to break it! Rating: Reviewed by Amy on 28/09/2007 I've had the 6233 for about a year now and it's been pretty good and reliable. I've got it in white so it looks kinda art-deco which I like. Downsides for me though are that the memory (inc. memory card) is way too small to be able to store as many pictures and messages as I want(which really isn't that many, I could store more on my old Samsung E350), especially seeing as I don't have any music on my phone at all. Also, even when on sleep and energy saving mode the screen lights up every 2 mins or so which is incredibly annoying - though my friend has a newer version of the phone and Nokia appear to have ironed out this glitch. Another problem is that the new-style Nokia charger is rubbish and I've had to replace mine twice already! This is a common problem with the new chargers and that would make me reconsider whether to buy another new Nokia. A major problem is also that there isn't a flash! Much more primitive phones have one and I feel that Nokia really should n't have tried to save money there... Oh and the ringtones/message alert tones are awful. Nonetheless, despite these faults it is actually a pretty good phone for those who just want a phone!

I am sure I was simply unlucky. But how come Nokia affords to throw such a mess on the market? Aren't the phones tested once they leave the assembling line? I had the faulty phone replaced, after two trips to the store it was bought from. The new one is ok, exhibiting only the undeletable e-mail problem. This will be the only Nokia I will ever own.

The O/S at first appears easy to use, however it seems to struggle when the user wishes to customise, there's folders everywhere and duplications of them in both the internal memory and the flash card memory, why isn't there a USB cable out plug? as I don't want to purchase a bluetooth adapter just so my PC can talk to it thankyou very much! On to the reliability, the battery has to be recharged every 2 days, so it's useless if you are an out-door kind of person. My 'down' button failed after 6 months of infrequent use - the whole internals were replaced by a new unit which refused to hold a charge for 8 hours (very handy for when my son was born!) this new unit was then replaced for another new unit which suffered a cracked screen after less than 24hours. Eventually I gave back the phone to Nokia after 7 months whilst having the same expression on my face as I would give a disadvantaged child. Overall, I'd say avoid this phone and buy a cheap handset so that when it fails, the disapointment will be easier to handle!

This phone is truly as described in the promo, a pleasure to use and play with and surely can be used as a business phone. I regularly use this phone as a remote control for my powerpoint presentations and can check dictionary and other useful apps whenever needed.

I have allways owned a nokia, to be honest this is the model i have been least happy with. This phone gives a modern impression bursting with some user friendly adjustments there are still areas of interest that are lacking.I have dropped this phone on the pavement once and am now left with a sharp edge in the steel casing, something to be carefull about. Yes the phone does crash, signal disapears for up to 15 minutes and without removing my memory card i am often having to reset my ringtone.

Rating: Reviewed by Alex Stewart on 27/07/2007 A major dissapointment, basically it is a disaster! I have had 4 Nokia 6233 in almost as many months this year (2007). For no apparent reason it cuts out, some times it will ring when receiving an incoming call, next time total silence. 5 calls to the answering service, then you get a message saying it cannot accept any more, I could go on!. The staff are always very helpfull, and quote perfectly the standard script, and within 24 hours, a replacement arrives, with the same problems, so the cycle repeats itself again and again. I have had other Nokia models over the last 5 years that have been almost trouble free, so I find it hard to believe, that Nokia were not aware from day one, that this model has serious problems with reliability. It certainly is not fit for purpose, and as I spent the greater part of the week on the road, and need a reliable mobile, I would like Nokia to let me know what compensation package they are prepared to offer, for all the frustration etc this model has caused me. Call me Nokia! Alex, Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, England. Rating: |
