Whats all the excitement with the 6230?

The design is nice, nothing too great. Small screen. Series 40 menus. Only thing it has going for it is an MP3 player. Other than that, SE T610, T630 and the upcoming K700 all win by a mile - far better design, far superior screen, much better menu design. __________________ good camera, fm stereo player, EDGE download speeds, streaming audio and video, classic design size, luxurious design colours, etc. "Only thing it has going for it is an MP3 player" sorry, but i think you should leave out the "only", mp3 player is mad __________________ comon now dont compare t610 or 630 with the 6230!! u have radio, voice recording , 640x480 camera ,4 mins vedio recording , mmc slot , egde , now from which feature does the t610 win from a mile? and the k700 might b4 good or better but its an "upcoming model" while 6230 is allready out so thts where the difference is __________________ k700 doesnt have mmc __________________ each model has it own advantages and disadvantages.... but i always read about one phone's advantages over another phone's disadvantages... __________________ ya right...each phone has its own pros and cons... Dudeman... no matter how good is other brands phones that u mentioned....6230 is still a very great phone and have a great selling....many people are crazy of it... __________________ and thus the "dude"man is silent __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Mainframe AI and thus the "dude"man is silent The dudeman is not silent, just offline . Anyway, all your comments seem fair enough. Point taken. __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Dudeman Only thing it has going for it is an MP3 player.

That's how desperate SE fans are, they go to other forums and try to convince themselves how they like SE phones __________________ se very poor rf - nokia very good rf a phones gotta be a phone first, whats next is only an advantage __________________ calm it, he said point taken __________________ It's just the best nokia phone in that serie... nothing more, nothing less __________________ SE very poor rf?.. I don't "HEAR" the difference when I'm using the phone... I can call where Nokia can call, and I can't call where Nokia can't call... Only diff is when my bar is 1, nokia has 2-3, but i can still make a very clear call and conversation. Using T610 by the way =P.. hehe... __________________ So far Nokia is famous of its better reception... however...just like the case dxreaper mentioned...when SE got 1 bar and Nokia got 2-3 bars...both phones can call...no problem for which phone has more bars... but...in the places where SE has no bar and Nokia has 1 bar...both phones can't call too...signal too weak...no point for calling... so...dun worry about howmany bars are there... __________________ man his comment isn't even worth arguing over __________________ The 6230 won't just sell well because of its features, it's a Nokia, and if most people had the choice between a Nokia and another phone brand, they'd choose the Nokia because of the name that Nokia have made for themselves. Although, with the phones they've released recently, I'm starting to wonder how. I'm not trying to spark another SE - Nokia debate. There are many threads on here already comparing the K700 and 6230. __________________ so far I prefer 6230....it has a memory slot... __________________ Quote: Originally posted by Memzee The 6230 won't just sell well because of its features, it's a Nokia, and if most people had the choice between a Nokia and another phone brand, they'd choose the Nokia because of the name that Nokia have made for themselves. Although, with the phones they've released recently, I'm starting to wonder how. yeah I'm kinda like that , I know there are lots of competetive handsets out there and even better but i still prefer nokia even I know nokia is the king to holding back features or something lacks in thier handsets. SE, Samsung and others make good phones but I actually had a nightmare that I bought an SE phone in my dream that I didn't even know what kind of SE handset I bought, when i woke up I felt really relieved. this behavior have to go away __________________ If you look at Nokia 6220, there were hardly any problems, wether hardware nor software. I went for the 6230 as soon as it became available here (even knowing there was a risc it could backfire on me since nokia has been releasing phones with a lot of bugs in the past 12 months) but since 6220 barely had any problems, I just went for it, and I can gladly tell you guys that we haven't had a single complaint so far. Yes, Nokia has told us that there will be a software / firmware upgrade available as of thursday 15th, but that is only for a small portion of the 6230's that are effected by the MMS / WAP bug. I myself and my other co worker have not experienced any problems of any kind so far, and I think it will remain that way cuz Nokia seems to be back on track, testing their phones properly before shipping them. __________________ should wait longer for a much stable software and price drops a bit...then is the time to buy... __________________ where SE has no bars... cant call.... where nokia has 1 bar.. calls perfectly clear... my nokias always work perfect with 1 bar... se rf is horrible.. __________________ not necessarily horrible, just not as good when compared with nokia nokia's reception so far has been very high quality though I've heard some complaints about 7600, and some other complaints in where the warranty sticker is on top of the antenna. SE is okayish, but not necessarily horrible __________________ just walk to somewhere that has better reception to make a call...solved...!! __________________ what if you have a huge gastrointestinal problem, have to goto the toilet, but have a gash on your head and need to call the hospital and can't move because if you do your guts will explode? __________________ the use public phones...
