Nokia 6230 review :) .. yes i finally got it

Finally after months and months of wait ... i finally got my hands on it yes i got the 6230 .. and god it was worth waiting for

ok first of all its size is perfect ... almost the same size of the 7250 .. keypad feels amazing and so easy to press ... cover feels nice ... its perfect

ok well here is whats new in the phone

1) Messages :
the same old nokia messages system .. pretty simple and clear and u get also the insert smiley option which is nice :P

2) Call register :
u get an extra option which is message counter ... shows u how many messages u sent and recieved

3) Contacts :
Normal ... Normal .. some nwe options "my presence" didnt check whats it for yet :P

4) Settings :
Yes .. now u get screensavers ... any *.gif picture can be ur screen saver

5) Gallery :
u have images , videoclips, music files, Graphics, Tones, Recordings and MMC card

the ringtones are very loud and AMAAAAAAAAZING compared to other nokia phones .. i love it .. the preset ones are mid ... cant wait to put some of mine in

mp3s are loud on the speaker phone and really nice .. very impressive

movies are a bit fuzzy in picture but the sound is loud


6) Media :

this were all the fun is u have the Camera , Media PLayer, Music Player , Radio , voice recorder and a Media equalizer

the camera is nice on the phone , and when u use the screen as a view finder it moves very fast the picture without lagging .. i'm trying now to copy them to my PC via ir .. so i'll post some pictures taken in normal and night mode ...
the video mode is nice .. i tried shooting some but i dont know yet the maxmium .. i'll test it soon ...

in music player u can view list of all songs to choose from , play random, use equalizer .. and the mp3 qual;ity is impressive

7) organizer :
pretty same .. but i loved the new feature in the alarm .. u can set alarm tone as an mp3 or an fm station ... COOOOOL waking up to ur favourite radio station

8) Applications :
u get Games ( beach rally 2, chess puzzle and golf)
collection ( Converter II , Translator and world clock II)

i liked the translator u get to choose to translate a word from and to (english , french , german, spanich and italian) ... very useful and i hope sooon they'll have support for more languages

9) services :
wap

overall .. worth waiting for .. if ur thinkin about it .. dont hesitate .. it has it all

and i'll soon post some pics n stuff taken by the phone

Cheers

Nice review triple_m27

i'm already tested the 6230 allong ago

Everbody has his own review and his own opinion about the 6230.But mine coclusion is only poor Mpeg4/3 player quality,platform and interface and the screen.

Loud is not so inportent,if it clear compare other Nokia's you are richt about that.

Menu between 6230 and K700i.





So what is nicer


PS Attention. rockon83

He cannot agains little kritic about flaws from the 6230.
If he read negative points about the 6230,than he wil explode like a rocket.

Every phone has flaws if it SE,Nokia,Siemens whatever it is.

Why? You are you self centered that you can't realise that this is an international forum and that not everyone's first language is English you know?

And if your grammer is so good, I'm sure you should be able to use something else instead of wanker.

You can have the best grammer in the world, and still think like a child.

draak...

what is so important for the menu or menu icon??...performance is much more important...from the pics I dun see K700 menu is great...it looks like a recycle bin with all the icons throwing into it...yiakkkss...

of course 6230 menu is not the best as well...but it provides clean and clear info to the user...good job...it is better if icons are able to be changed like what 6600 does...

we are waiting for the photo taken by 6230...

Somethin i must mention .. the menu browsing is WAAAAAAAAY too fast ... which is GREAT (unlike my 7250i )

Looks good... nice, clear pictures.

Do you have to hold the phone particularly still when you take pictures?

And what do the pics look like on the screen?
__________________
triple >...awesome! ... and finally would u also explain about how the pictures look in the phone's screen?

thanx and have a good time with your 6230

i hope it also be available here as soon as possible

Thanks for the nice review. Good to know that the phone is worth the wait.
It's interesting to see that the SE zealots who claim testings bash the mp3 playing, while other people praise it. Could it be that the SE zealots try to put down the one of the most nicest feature where 6230 wins over K700: functioning as a mp3 player...
__________________
I am going to pick mine up now, should have it within 1 hour if they ahvent sold out. THey only got 5 in stock haha
__________________
lmao.... i think im gonna go buy a piece of **** sony ericsson which won't work for me bc the RF sucks on it, but I'll be happy because it has a nicer menu.... what a dumbass.... btw, if you use the individual menus, not the grid, the icons are animated.... so what's nicer now bitch? lmao..
__________________
Just picked my new 6230 up about an hour ago.... its the silver one.. very nice...

Im charging it now ... and setting it up, so easy to use.. the 32Mb card comes with a pre-installed music track, and it sounds really good, even just on the speaker in the phone.. and you can set the mp3 as a ring tone if you want.

Camera quality looks good...

more when I play more :-)

damn you guys are so lucky... we have to wait another month for the US version

OMG Normski it would have been cheaper to get it on plan like I am doing tomorrow !!
__________________
Yea, I know... but they are not Telstra dealers.. Telstra said they will have phone only later this month. im not on a contract but the plan im on pays me a bonus off my calls... so if I were buying the phone on a plan, i wouldnt get the extra off my bill each month... so its kinda ok.

But I just couldnt bloody wait any more!! :-) you know how it is.

gonna play with some mp3s now.. see what bit rate this baby can play!

Cheers

I'll probably be looking at around a month before I can get my own 6230. I want to wait for the price to drop a bit first, also so I can avoid the software bugs posted in other threads, and so I can afford accessories, such as the USB cable, etc

Nokia only released one new handset at CTIA, however the one model they did release certainly does posses some impressive specs. We got a chance to see some video streaming on the 6230. It was only a few frames per second but it should be noted that the network congestion was HUGE at the show. Nokia actually setup their own network.

You can't compare VGA and megapixel.

If you look in other threads many people have posted their pics taken by the 6230.
__________________
Eh...sorry,at first sight,the image looks VGA,but after uploading it here,it becomes enormous!

But anyway,try to compare the quality of it to the Nokia 6230,not the size

Well,by just judging the way you speak and bring out this few comments is enough to let me know that your mind is still not mature yet,but is rather like a kid's mentality...I'm being blunt that's all_
