Nokia 6230i - User Reviews

  • You are not stupid, a "dumbphone" is a smart choice. I'm using a Nokia 6288 even though I have a smartphone in a drawer.

  • what? so do i It has all the bells and whistles i could want too bad repairers won't give this make the time of day now

  • Good!

  • For all my friends I'm stupid because I use this cell phone in 2019 although I have a smartphone. This small and compact device fit in every pocket and I use it just for conversation and SMS. I've had it for many years and it's still fun ...

  • By "larger screen" we mean the screen resolution not the actual size of the LCD.

  • good druggie phon

  • good druggie phon

  • Hello Rupal, Its probably too late for you but I had the same problem last week. I had to put my sim into another phone but couldn't see my contacts so have just put the sim back into the 6230 and it powered up as usual!!

  • Very mach mobil

  • I bought this phone in Oct 2005. Replaced battery thrice. It was working fine until yesterday when the screen got all white. Nothing is visible only white light coming out of screen. I have been continuously using this phone since Oct 2005. Now looking for a replacement but no good phone is available with alphanumeric keypad. Any suggestions? A good quality & premium looking phone like this is hard to find....

  • Send contacts via bluetooh, it should work even sending them to latest android phones, contact files are compatible, bluetooth is bluetooth. I remember that the transfer option was called something like "Send business card", hence not very intuitive.

  • One by one. Or use Nokia Suite

  • can anyone help??????.... need to transfer all phone numbers to an android... any suggestions as too how yo do this????

  • How do I switch off voicemail on this model?

  • Cool one. If you don't need special functionality typical for smartphone, nokia's old handys are best for everyday use. I have my 6230 since Y2006. Still works and still with original battery.

  • The plastic lens cover at the back just degrades the photos, if you remove it you get clearer photos, then the phone doesn't look so good and the camera lens might get scratched but this is a cheap phone to get second hand so that's not a problem really..

  • some one please send me some original screen saver from 6230i like dotspace_ss.m3g ... my email: [email protected]

  • It supports 1 gb

  • It supports 1 gb

  • Dont bother about trying to install anything more than very basic programs onto this phone! by basic means very small java programs,but you can have fun trying to get what you can on the phone, . you are not going to get much onto this phone. It is a good phone for what it does do and the internet for browsing is reasonable but it is very limited- being 10 years old you can forget modern applications...

  • This phone is really good. I have been using last 10 years above.But extranal memorry not avilable in market.

  • Please help me...I cant install whats app in this phone :(

  • This phone is a very tough phone, but the battery is still the main issue

  • My phone is still working fine more than 10 years now. What to expect more. So good, keep it in your pocket & forget.

  • Just found my old one in the loft, complete with all accessories. Seems a shame to bin it.

  • Dear Arsalan. You are true. I have recently got it almost new from abroad. It cane locked on vodafone. Got it unlocked in 100 rupees. Lovely phone

  • Can the phone download whatsapp

  • The best phone ever. This my phone till dis day for calling and txting.

  • i have the phone since 2006 and is still working ok

  • this is most beautiful phone in the world, this is my favourite phone.if any 1 says that he sold it in suppose 10,000 rs.,,,, i 'll give him 20. Alas ! I cant buy it ! It never come back...

  • Pros- 1.Good loudspeaker. 2.Fm radio. 3.Great display resoulation for 1.5" phone. 4.Better camera than some symbian phones such as nokia 6600,7610 etc. 5.Battery backup is good. 6.Cool pre-installed games. 7.Higher rom than other java phones. Cons- 1.Bad audio quality through headphone. 2.Memory card support only upto 512 MB. 3.No Mp4 support. 4.Uninspiring design and build quality. 5.Display size is too small for a java device.

  • What i known about this it can last longer

  • really good with 144p videos

  • If there was ever a phone as good as the nokia 6230i is itself. I,ve found it to be the best in its days, i have one that stop working after having it so long and i am still not able to part off with it. It was a classic

  • bt 1.2 on here,so very good

  • i say this phone is too good,because it has so many features including ptt and gprs connection not available

  • Great work guy, that fown is the best hey! Keep presev.

  • i used this mobile from 2008 to 2015... very excellent set no fault in set while drop on floor from hand aur any ohter i agree from this mobile.... thankx

  • I used this phone from 2006 to 2013. Very good phone ever i've seen. Still i've this phone.

  • I have this phone in 2008 after my father given it to me. I used this phone from the said year until it's getting slow and unusable in 2009. Because technicians said that it could not be repaired anymore I replaced my Nokia 6230i to my other former phone (Nokia 2700 classic). This legendary phone is a nice phone even that it's just having little memory. Love this phone.

  • You mentioned that you replaced the battery just the once. Have tried this but the phone is not holding its charge. Any suggestions? Cheers. [email protected]

  • had y nokia since early 2005.works perfetly. only changed battery once. maybe the best phone ever .D

  • Phone log

  • This still has the best sound reproduction ever! Having its original earphones, the sound produce are much more define than the newest nokia model. Even my smartphone does not compare to sound quality of this phone. I guess this is what quality means, "A Decade phone".

  • This is the best ever mobile set I have used ever. I am using it since 2006. I have used iphone 5S, galaxy S4 and other latest smart phones but nokia 6230i is really awsome. It is still working like charm. Battery lasts for 5 days with heavy use. This feature is really missing in latest phones. Love you 6230i.

  • I still use this phone even though I bought a smart phone and I love to know where I cud buy another new one

  • was my first mobile ever

  • If you have buy, you can buy from www.aliexpress.com , for 20 EUR

  • We need to get back to these type of phones/smartfones that Nokia built i looked forward to release of everyone of them..All we get nowadays is boring full touch slabs..Wheres all the great design gone plus even if the screen is smaller you get the whole screen unlike touchscreen which lose half screen to keypad...I miss precision D-PAD and proper send end buttons,,,Arrrggghhh bring back the good old days..

  • Have had this phone 'plumbed in' my car 9 years now from new. Battery has only just gone the journey. Hoping to source new battery. Pretty good when I compare woefull battery life of my most recent Samsung S series!

  • Can you recommend a second-hand store who sells this unit (6230i)?

  • I like It Virue 6230i

  • Best cell phone ever made. Thanks Nokia :)

  • Hi Peter. I want to know if Nokia 6230i is still available in the market. Please let me know how I can get one. Thanks

  • This is probably the best phone ever made. Ergonomy was amazing, no useless applications, battery last 7 days.... Thank you NOKIA for this phone.

  • have this phone for 8 years now...have dropped it 100x , worst i remembered when i dropped it from my 2nd floor on the stairs down to 1st floor, and it's still working...very easy to use for call & text...the casing is already damaged but still working...love this phone soooo much...i lost my iphone 5c i bought recently so have to use my jurassic/vintage nokia cel...

  • Does nokia 6230i phone support whatp

  • my 3rd phone

  • I have this phone for 8 years, and it still doesn't have any problem. I only changed the battery in the middle time. It was a nice 2G phone in 2005, before the evolution of the smartphones. A few months ago, I bought a Nokia smartphone (the 808 Pureview, that still has the best camera), because I wanted storage for multimedia, internet and a quality camera. So, now I still use it as a second phone, behind the Nokia 808 Pureview.

It is the greatest phone I have ever had but as it is getting old , I have 3 of them just in case , Peter in Australia

  • Just replaced my 6230i with the Nokia Lumia 800. Love the phone and will get a new battery for it (fading after 7 years - lol) and keep it as a back up phone. Like others have said, this phone is one of the best. Hope Nokia survives the changes. It makes fantastic phones.

  • this model is excellent. i am using it since 2005 without problems.

  • I am using this phone phone for the past 6 years till now i didn't face any issues. The best phone I've ever used.

  • Its a very exellent phone i have used it from 2005 till now and it has never given me any problem well done nokia congrutulation for the release of this phone.

  • Like everyone else I agree this phone is fantastic. I have used mine continuously since 2005 with no problems. I am on my second battery. It has been dropped many times but always takes it. It's late 2011 and looking at what's available I still can't find a reason to replace it. This old model is something special. Everything works fantastically. I used to sync it to my old laptop with infra red now I sync it with bluetooth. The camera is sweet. The call quality is high. I love the wallet function. Only minor complaints are the (known) random screensaver light up bug. The (known) bug that crashes it after x no. of button pushes (my third happened last week) and the slow response of the music player. If you own this phone you were at the right place at the right time in history. Be grateful. I am.

  • That was my best phone until i was mugged

  • i m using nokia 6230i since auj 2005 i luv it

  • I got my 6230i as a gift from a friend back in sep 2005. I must say it's one the best user friendly phones I have ever used, and the camera is exceptional. I was once outstation on work & the phone stopped working altogether, it did not even charge. When I took it to phone shop the guy said that that the "software is gone" so I asked him if there was anything he could do to get it going. I was away from home & need to keep in touch as I have two small kids. He had got it going by that evening when I went over to collect it, I was very thankful, but recently the battery started to run down to like on full charge half a day max. What now??

  • Nokia 6230i is workin very good bt my question is,is it protected from viruses?thats my only worry about viruses

  • I've had my Nokia 6230i for a couple of years and its wonderful. My question is - as the cigarette lighter in my car does not work - DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A HANDSFREE KIT THAT WOULD SUIT THIS PHONE without being attached to the cigarette lighter. I have to admit to being not very mechanically minded; so take me gently. Thanks E.

Now I'am thinking of selling my C5, because this phone is so good, I prefer it above the newest nokia phones. This phone is a gift from heaven!! If you can find one secondhand, don't think, just buy it, no regrets! Greetings from Belgium.

  • I have been using this phone for almost 5 years. Simply love it. The call quality is excellent. I love the organizer (basic but get the jobs done) especially the wallet application (stored loads of important info there). The camera is great for a 1.3 mpx. No auto-focus there but again it is good for the occasional kodak-moments. The keypad is nice. Texting is easy due to the well-designed keypad. I don't use the e-mail application so I can't comment about it. Overall, it's a very good quality phone.

  • I have had this Nokia for 6 years and every year I get offered a new phone with my renewal contract but I refuse as my friend get new phones every year and get bother with newer models..I love my trusted 6230i and am looking to replace the origial cover for it as getting a bit shabby looking but dont want to change my phone.. best phone..still holds its charge.. not going to change it until it dies on me

  • This is by far the best phone I have ever owned! I Have had it for more than 6 years (got it when it first came out) and it literally hasn't skipped a beat! The original battery still holds a great charge and the reception and quality is spectacular! The best part is that it'll stay current. Even though it states that it can only accept 512MB MMC card, I bought a 2G card and it works great. I have a "newer" Motorola phone for work that can't do the same. Pair that with the free PC software and it's basically a tiny Blackberry!

  • i havit for 5 years. works perfect. 6230i=the best

  • I hve used nokia 3230,n70 n73 n79.But found this phonè so unique then the others ive used very smooth..Very cool..But unfortunately some one had stolen this phone from my pocket.I wìsh i could hve one mre phone lyk that.

  • I've had this for five years. Best phone I've had. No need to change but "updated version" would be nice. Quality quality quality.

  • 6230i Nokia is best from all set, i m using this set from 2 years , nice sound , nice camera , looking so cute and keypade are so smooth.A man know his qualities if he bought new one and used at least one year. I like most ths from all

  • 3 years and counting. Love it but would not mind a newer phone though.

  • I second the statement, my feeling is the same!

  • This phone only has 1.5mb of java memory available. That could be why, u must be looking at gallery memory

  • When i try to download to my phone..it alway say there is no space in it..and there is..and also i can't open waptrick

  • Does Nokia 6230i support MP4 video playback as it plays AAC audio?

  • I owned a 6230i too since 2003. I saw AT&T having promotion on the Nokia 2610 at $20 (including $20 air time) I bought it, used all the credit and took the battery for my Nokia 6230i and works great ;-)

  • Haha, u say almost 7 years, can't u see that is Announced 2005, its impossible to have 4 7y. :) C yaa

  • Wow..i like this phone so much, have been with it for almost 7 years & its still good...my only problem is where can i find a good and long lasting battery any one help.

  • Yes, I use 6230i.. wonderful phone !

  • Pls between dis phone and nokia 5000 which of them is the best. I mean which of them can open web pages easier and faster than the other, and can also upload pics to facebook and yahoomail, and also with a nice sound quality. Which of them downloads faster. Which of them conserves battery more than the other. Jus 4get about mmc which 6230i has over 5000.

  • i have one it's very good.

  • Guys I have read diferrent reviews and comments on different types of 4nes Nokia, Samsung, SEs, Motorola, name it...and what I've come 2 realise is that of all reviews, NOKIA 6230i has the least cons. Practically every 4ne has a heap of problems, even the most recent ones-inclusive of Nokias. If only Nokia guys could just take some time sit down and meditate on the secrets that made the 6230 such a success, I believe they'd come up with another masterpiece of a phone..

  • In my mind 6230i is very beautiful cell. This cells battery is amazing. But some problems are there,The display is very small,sound is low,picture clarity is low.but totaly this was very good

  • it just wht i say oh great

  • this cell is awesome but my camera gt spoiled cz i made it fall like 50 times but its just so awesome!!! i've been using it since 4 years now n its still working as how i bought it just the camera i'll fix that though but the battery n evrything is awesome this cell rocks!!! i want to fix it but i dont trust the people who repair it lol they can steal some parts since its original....love it!!!

  • its not a phone... its a rock... nothing happens to it

  • hi goes anyone know where i can go update this phone? ive stil got the version that was originally on the phone when i bought back in 2005 and want to update it .

  • This is a lovely phone and guess wat someone stole mine but I have decided I get another one just like it.

  • perfect phone waited 2yrs for it to drop in price. Still have mine in mint condition even after 2yrs of using it. Intend on keeping it that way. Stil in it's original cover with no scratch or dents on it.

  • one ward.. masterpiece.

  • I just got one 6230i yesterday im very happy with it, it is a great phone ! Love from Romania and Russia

  • i want a new one

  • I've had my phone since 2006.It fell a few times but it still works, only problem is that the music adapter shorts out and the music play really low through the earphones. what can I do to make it play loud again?

  • Phone is discontinued... an era is over.. :(

  • This is a very good phone - the sound quality is excellent, the battery life is good - I only need to charge it once every 3 or 4 days and the phone has expandable memory and bluetooth so for me it's a bonus point. The only problem I have with the phone is it's buttons, its sometimes very difficult to use the button in the centre as it has different functions but other than that, the phone's fine.

  • Its the best phone I ever used. Can anyone tell me where I can get it's original/genuine housing in Dubai? Also the mp3 ringtone sound is a bit lower than other formats. What can i do to increase the sound ?

  • My phone is officially discontinued. :(

  • Excellent, I have been using it from last 3 years, NO Problems, NO Issue.

  • I still dont think any other cell phone can beat this one. It is one awesome phone. Any good replacements have you come across, strictly in S40 category?

  • pitty 'cause it has such a samll screen. i've used this phone for 2 years. it's a good phone.it was a inovation for that time, u know.?

  • The best keys i have ever experienced.... The four way navigation keys are awesome.. I think nokia should only manufacture these type of keys and navigation...

  • wonderful phone no comment at all.it worth buying it

  • do u wish to buy a nokia 6230i silver colour in a very good condition.its a t. mobile phone with full box and all its original contents

  • I have been using this model for the past 3 years. It is very good. But, unfortunately, now it is showing problems. My phone is restarting within secs after i switch it on.

  • Nokia 6230i is a usable phone,but I like my N93 better.

  • I had used many other models of Nokia before I got the 6230i. The ever best made cell phone. It is pitty that Nokia does not come up with a model like the 6230i. I vote 8.8 for design, features and performance.

  • truly its a nice phone still working after falling inside water

  • It is very GOOD, hardworking phone and very much freindly to use. 9830508455

  • Best, still works after alot of heavy usage and have had it since 2005

  • Using it since July 2006...best phone ever so far...had used 7 phones prior to this....Nokia 6230i is simply one of the best phones ever made by man.....dont get it anymore in my country......hope it comes back to the market.....

  • Yes u can i'm using it, Just install Nokia sute and u a ready to connect 2 the net.

  • OHMY.! why the phone is so expensive, i had it 4 years ago. it still costs a lot. of course the price is 40% cheaper. but why it's so expensive! please explain me.

  • yes

  • yes

  • Pls i want to purchase nokia 6230i, but i need to know weather i can browse the internet via USB cable connection on my computer. pls i need urgent response

  • Any one of You can plz tell me that if this phone supports java application/softwares. any experience about that plz mail me to [email protected] thanx in advance!

  • by far the best phone ever. i have since had an n80 and now n82, which obviously have better features, but they are not perfect. this phone IS perfect - especially the 'Go To' menu! quite simply the best phone ever.

  • Yeah nokia 6230i supports jar files but you have to install them with pc suite.. Its rocking..

  • The Nokia6230i is by far one the best phones ever made its Nokia and nokia makes the best phones i love it so much its just so neat,silk and so me

  • Amen, This is th ebest phone ever made! (im missing mine, coz i had it stolen :�(

  • I totally agree with you guys, who say that you'll cant change or dont feel like changing your 6230i's Its a wonderful wonderful phone...there is simply nothing that it doesnt have. Mine is also a nov 2005 model and I just hope I can get new covers for it...the current ones are falling apart :( I also need to service the buttons..but i will keep my phone and nuthing in the market so far will make me change it !

  • The best NOKIA phone so far. I have it since july 2005 and am using it till now!

  • @sulaimon i think 6230i supports jar files. I got his older brother 6230 and i can use opera4.2

  • I love the phone.the only thing i have against is that it does not support application.like opera.i just want to know if there is sort of application it supports.

  • This phone is more than any other phone you can think of, easy to use any body can use it........6230i you are too good i love!!!

  • I have had this phone since October 2005, this phone simply doesn't allow me to switch to another one... superb work by nokia... very quick menu navigation and processor seems to be one of the best nokia has ever used... music sounds pretty good...i just love it!!!

  • ive always liked the style ov that phone, ive tried to buy 1 but to no avail. am sure i will find 1 sooner or later.

  • I've dropped it an entire floor and it hit marble. It has survived without a scratch. Proof, if anyone needs it, that Nokia phones are built to last. Now if only I could find a better battery for it...

  • I've had this since August 2005. It's still all-original (except for the upgraded MMC, everything including the battery is intact). It still works like a charm. It's been dropped a few times and accidentally left on a puddle of water face-down, yet it soldiers on like an energizer bunny. From 5 days' battery life when it was brand-new, batt's now down to 2 days. The casing also has its lion's share of cuts and bruises (more like battle scars) but is still in one piece and holds the phone nicely. The keypads are still okay except for the topmost 3 keys (on top of the 'send', 'end', and the up-navigation key) where just lately, i've experienced some difficulty pressing them to respond (probably due to dust particles). With the length of time this phone has been with me and the torture it endured as it faithfully accompanied me to my daily grind, meetings, and trips, I am simply amazed at its durability and timelessness of design. When i bought it, i was expecting a business-class phone with understated elegance. What i got was more than that. Yes, it was a midrange business phone with its features (it's a 2.5G phone as 3G was still under wraps at that time) but it performed like a marathon runner on steroids - never giving up on you whatever the situation. I also bought it because of its simplicity, as i am partial to bar phones and this one provided the right tactile feel for texting and just the right grasp. its keypads are arranged in a sloping manner to let you feel where in the keypad you're presing, plus it's thick and heavy enough to make you feel secure when grasping it yet light and small enough to just fit the palm of your hands. This phone's also feature-packed for simple phone users with medium requirements. Screen contrast is excellent even after almost 4 years of use. Speaker's loud enough and has good audio quality. Plays mp3 and 3gp files. Bluetooth AND infrared are also standard here (I don't see IR much nowadays). No 3G, though, but I don't really need it as my other phone takes care of the 3G stuff. I honestly haven't found a 6-series successor to this one-of-a-kind phone. This phone is an epitome of having your cake and eating it too. I also wish Nokia create a 6-series phone that's as tough and as robust as this. Sturdy, simple, user-friendly, reliable, very long battery life, feature-packed, and timelessly elegant with an intentionally understated design. These are what made me win over the 6230i and these are what i will look for in its successor. I'm glad i chose to buy this phone. i'll keep using this until it conks out...well, hopefully in the distant future.=)

  • best nokia ever

  • nokia phones! simply the best.could be upgraded a bit higher.probably in the slide form....i'll prefer that model.Johnson Mobolaji.O.(Nigeria).

  • Very good phone I am using last 3 years

  • My long time phone, ain't seen better one yet.

  • Marvellous, wonderful cell phone. Had mine for some years, never fails, tough too! Bought a 6300 recently as a replacement, but nowhere near as good! So will continue to use the 6230i until it totally dies.

  • I bought yesterday this phone(with 20 euro ;_)),and I was thinking,how many hours works with a bigger battery?One with 1020 mAh?Has anybody try this thing? i hope someone can give me the answer,thank you and have a nice day.

  • Very Nice cell phone, it's a ALL IN ALL mobile compact to use, simply i LOVE it!!!

  • my camera says ON STANDBY anytime i try to use it and guys can anyone help me out on a solution? am new to these stuff..thanks guys.

  • I�ve had this phone since December 2006. When it was new when I removed the battery I did not have to set the clock but nowadays every time I remove the battery i have to set the clock. What causes this?

  • Nokia 6220 Classic.

  • The 6230i fixed all the niggles of the 6230 perfectly. Bought one in 2005, it was the best phone I ever owned: compact easy to use with lots of features and good games. I would have kept it if it hadn't mysteriously stopped working. Replaced it with an E65 which is OK but not as user-friendly. Could anyone suggest a worthy replacement for the 6230i with bigger screen 3G HSDPA and GPS?

  • i love my nokia 6230i! d best phone i'd ever used

  • I bought a second hand 6230i last December. Ii came with a 256MB memory card and a new replacement battery. I have since replaced its housing. What a wonderful phone it is. Versatile, tough, good-looking, so easy to use. A real bargain at the price that I paid.

  • 6230i is a one-off, seriously the 6230i is a total all-rounder and a go anywere phone, I agree with you on that its the best all-round phone ever! I cant find anything close to it.

  • Wow, it's 2009 and still 4 years after this things been out and I've still got it, though I'm not using it. Of course it's old software but for anyone not interested in the new stuff, this thing is great for them. It'll last forever, surely!

  • Lol, I dropped mine hundreds of time... Also ran over, dunked in a basket-ball goal, threw onto concrete, and many other numerous tests because once i kinda got tired of it... I wanted to try to destroy the indestructible. It definitely ain't happening. I've still got that phone somewhere collecting dust but still works just like new, cosmetically... That's another story but it still looks OK and it's still in one piece. Maybe the "i" in 6230i is for "indestructible" and not what it usually means.

  • Great phone. I'm regretting ever getting rid of this phone. Like other comments I dropped mine numerous times and not one problem!

  • i like this phone but i can't install any softwere in this phone. i can only download software in this phone. can i use it like as modem?

  • It is a one off phone.. Nobody is gonna bring out a phone thats gonna match this beauty

  • This is the best phone ever produced - durable, portable, presentable and very useful. It's a utility phone. It's here and there - no matter what class you belong, it can never be disgraced. I've grabbed it from inception and am a real, real user of phone. It's my storage library and hard user - makes over 150 calls daily - not commercial, personal business and private. The phone is still kicking on but I need to replace this phone out of personal pity. Nokia please produce a match. There is no killing this beetle. Or is it a one-off phone?? can't find a match. Pls help!!

  • Nokia 6230i is a good phone i use it as my server here but the phone stopped charging what could be the problem because we lacked power for three good days the forth day it failed to charge i can't take it for repair i don't believe its spoil t I NEED THE ANSWER WHAT CAN I DO

  • Emmanex, your problem is because u're using 1gb memory for it. The maximum recommended is 512mb

  • Hi ben, i have the same problem that u're complaining about. I think it's the board's problem(it's an imitation). The board kills every battery u put in. If u use the battery for some time u will realize one day that the battery will not charge any longer. i bought 2 new batteries and a new charger bcos of that phone but to no avail. For me, i dropped the phone somewhere bcos i hate going about dealing with phone repairers. If the cost of maintenance in your area is cool, then i guess u can give it out to some phone repairer to have check on the phone's board for u

  • Same bettary problem

Dropped it on the road, down the stairs, on the floor, over the table... as if like I don't go nuts when it drops like some people do when it happens to their phone... really a tough one

  • Hi, This is the best phone ever. Have been using mine for over 3 years now and still works like brand new. My life timer just crossed 980:00:00 and I think that is the maximum usage one can get from a phone. Excellent design, Excellent quality. I dropped mine countless times, even while standing on tarmac still no problems. Great keypad. Useful camera. Amazing features and lightning speed compared some of today's mobiles. Call functions and network is outstanding. Speaker volume and clarity is at the top. MP3 is crisp and the memory card is expandable to beyond 1 GB. Applications very useful and PTT is a boon. Am I the only one who feels this is THE PHONE!

  • I am trying to save some SMS templates in the template folder but someone despite I still have free memory on my phone, I cannot save anymore. I only saved an extra 5-6 templates besides the original ones. Any advice? Thanks. BTW, I bought the 6230i as a back up 18 mths ago and only started using it recently. So I am grateful to have a classic Nokia for a little while to come despite young fellows gave me the 'huh' Worst thing is I cannot buy any MMC card anymore!

  • I acutally sold my N95 to start using this, because it's just such a good small phone with enough functionality to be useful without being too power hungry.

  • i used to have this phone before. Great phone. One of the best models of Nokia in its time.

  • i had 6230i two years ago and it's the best phone i had so far. it's really user friendly. and although it's already 3 years since it has been released, given a choice, i would still choose 6230i. the best candybar phone for me :)

  • My 6230i still works till this Day, i got it in 2005 when it had just released Great Phone

  • Really practical phone, easy and intuitive to use ...although its considered a bit old now its well featured and is the best phone I have owned... I actually switched from a newer sony ericson as that had so many annoying features that got in the way all the time.

  • it is the bestt phone ever can't get a better phone then this nokias most successful phone cant be beaten

  • I love this model 6230i with all my heart,i also feel like life is simple,is like i'm walking with the dvd player with music videos and mp3 player.i also like reading news and search on v-life!.god make me have my own.

  • I really love this nokia 6230i that my brother had given me for temporal,i wish i could have mine.with v-live!,high quality colours,mp3 and lots of features to entertain.i wish somebody can buy me this.i can't wait.

  • ..."I've had it for the past 6 years"...???are you by any chance related to Marty from Back To The Future? This phone was released in 2005 and seeing as we are in 2008 now in my head that means 3 years...not 6. All in all a good phone tho. Have noticed a few operational issues tho when phone exposed to cooler climates. Can anyone else verify this issue as I have had several customers bring in their 6230i handsets and have each complained about them not waorking (usually on cold days) and once they are in warmth of the shop the handset seems to come back to life...wierd.

  • hi what is ebible? i hear ppl talking about it but what is it? Also, can anybody tell me about software problems on this phone? what are they? how common are they? how do i avoid them? thanks

  • How many messages can this phone hold?

  • The best ever phone I have ever Used for the last 6 years. Really handy and have all that could be necassary for anybody

  • Hmmm well i own a 6300 the battery is Ok on it, it lasts atleast 3-4 days with minimum usage but if changes when Multimedia is Used e.g. Music Player, Camera otherwise i have NO Complaints on 6300's Battery Life it does really well for a Slim Phone with a 16M Display and Stainless Steel Body i highly reccomend it, i upgraded to a 6300 from a 6230i(i still have it) and 6300 is a great upgrade

  • 6230i one of the BEst phone of Nokia... i have my 6230i for 2 years and 8 months now still doing great...

  • Thanx Dani.But I heared that the phone battery does not last long i.e d phone easily go flat.Talk 2 me Dani...I Know u participate well on this site

  • Nokia 6300 Best Upgrade for 6230i

  • my 6280 began to malfunction so a friend gave me this handset since it had no value to her. it is still one of the best dam fones out there in my opinion, it may be old, but i love the design and removable covers. it also has themes unlike the 6230 which i used to own. it is so small, compact and lite so i barely notice it on my pocket and it still has most of the basic features my 6280 had eg. video cam, music player,bluetooth infared. so i am very pleased with it. it may have a small screen compared to newer models out there, but i dont notice it when i use it. if you are not very careful with your devices i strongly recomend this model as it does not break easily and buttons etc. can be easily replaced.

  • God knows that am sick n tired of complainin' on this site;what's the latest NOKIA upgrade for this phone? I can't use a phone that doesn't support e-bible ,dictionary,games etc on.I've got penchant 4 those stuff

  • I've had my 6230i for one yr seven months. Great, if you want to install java games on to it you have to use nokia pc suit application installer you cant drag and drop on to the mem card like newer ones, to b honest java is not this phones strong suit as it only has 1.5 mb of java memory... All in all i love it but its getting old (screen is now way too small)

  • Was the Java file 'Jar' or 'Jad' ? only Jar will work

  • can anybody please tell me why i cant send java applications from my computer to my 6230i.it keep saying file format not supported.

  • In response to Mond's question,MMS configuration is done by your local service providers.For us in Africa,we depend on MTN,Celtel,ORASCOM etc.Contact yours so that they direct you.

  • I know I've complained so much on this site.But it's dishearting to see phones like S.Eric k750 have ebible & dictionary while my 6230i can neither support them nor Nokia themes/games.Someone help me quick...

  • a small celfone with huge potentials,it has everything from a camera,radio,mp3 and mp4 players,bluetooth,infrared,web/wap connectivity. its an almost perfect Nokia Masterpiece! the only flaw is the small flimsy netting covering the infrared port,what's up with that? can't afford extra plastic covering? aside from this obvious weakness,I LOVE THE N6230i! Kudos,Nokia!

  • superb phone , i just love it!!!!,

  • 3G not on this phone ^^

  • well, u can install dictionaries cause it doesnt pass 1,4MB (that what this phone sports), but i think u cant install e-bible 'cause this app has about 1,8MB...i already tried it..if u found an e-bible with at least 1,4MB u can install it ^^

  • Can a software be installed on this phone(Nokia 6230i) so that it can support files like e-bible and dictionary?I need real quick answers,please.

  • man u have problems with your dreams???? plz explain qhy u have to get 6 6230i...how come "hectic draken"...

  • man i think it is problem with ur brand, cause i send messages all the time and it is very quickly, i use internet also (3G) and it is Very fast either...i use to watch videos on YouTube with this cellphone for a long time ^^

  • yes man this is a BIG problema about games and app's on this phone, i use internet on my 6230i and it is very fast, i use 3G tecnology, but u can use a Memory Card with 1GB capacity, i use this for one year already ^^

  • no an it cant play Real Media files (rm), but u can forward ur songs using music player, just press and hold the forward button on music player and it will forward ur songs quickly ^^

  • Had it since dec 2006 and its ok its getting on a bit esp if u use newer phones with larger brighter displays and better loudspeakers esp wen playing music and better cameras. But its reliable and is still very well equiped. Ps Opera mini does not work on my phone does any one no y?

  • this phone is the best mobile i ever came across,i've been through 6 6230i and i keep coming back for more{reason for losing 6 is those hectic draken nights when i can not even remember my name}

  • man tell me how it works on 6230i...cause i downloaded it and it doesnt worked on my 6230i...

  • The phone is just great.But,one problem with the phone is its inability to support new files like videos,java games,themes etc.Can this be rectified?

  • You can download KD PLAYER to play your audio and videos. You can also maka playlists. Free download from wap.mobango.com

  • i really dont have any comment yet. is just that a friend show me the phone because i wanted to buy a phone and i dont know which one to go for. i uses motorolla because i love it but i want a phone that have different features including fm radio and memmory. so i dont know which one to go for now

  • Nokia 6300, is the BEST upgrade for 6230i

  • I have my Nokia now for 2 years and I must say smart phone. But it's time for an up grade... Any advice on a phone that do the job just as well?

  • yes it is, just go throught contacts and select settings then the option copy SIM to phone or phone to SIM

  • in Nokia 6230, is it possible to cpy the contacts to SIM from the handset?

  • 'loOks like N SEries 2, betTer dan xpResS music' I agree on looks on N-Series, but better then XpressMusic ? NO!

  • i love the phone . the video is cool. everything about it is cool . thats the phone 'am using for the past three years . i only change the case/cover as & when i want to . i olhe it it's cool by me.

  • i have a question, i want to know how to upgrade the firmware of this cellphone, how can i do it by myself???

  • the nokia 6230i is a really nice phone to own,personally i do not have any queries with this phone.100% cool.

  • the user memory is 32MB, but i can put memory cards, some use 2GB on it other 1GB (me ^^), but nokia said that it supports just 512MB...

  • @ Skydog Il Agree with you....... i came from a 6230i to a W810i, W810i killed it, but still no doubt 6230i is a good phone. so il agree with every word you have said, so peace...

  • Wow, you think you're funny, dontcha? How do you think you can pull something like that off? Dont buyers test the firmware first before buying ( people, you can do this by pressing *#0000# 6230 is RH-12 and 6230i is RM-72. A big difference if you can read) or the interface for that matter? Bro, the 6230 and the 6230i have different interfaces. No one will be fooled (except maybe you). And the i has a slightly bigger screen 30 x 30 mm compared to the 6230's 27 x 27. You got a lot of nerve joking about ripping people off here...

  • @dani: Dude, how can you compare an old (in your own words, a few posts down) fon with a new one (one with a 2mp cam, 4gig memory support,262k colors,etc)? That's so NOT the way to do an A/B test. Of course the w810i is better! Please refrain from making insipid comments such as this in any forum. It just doesnt make any sense to compare two things which just arent comparable. but i'll say this: The 6230i is old. But it still does the job.Can you say that for your beloved W810i,say in about a year or so?

  • your files can be read only or you don't have free space ... if these are not your problem try to put a newest software for it

  • Files from my phone memory does not move to my memory card. What is the cause and the possible solution?

  • Files from my phone memory does not move to my memory card. What is the cause and the possible solution?

  • YES it does!! so basically you can get a Old Nokia 6230 and replace it with the new 6230i cover...then you'll have the New 6230i...you can also cheat a buyer ;)

  • This is the worst nokia ever. I have it for 3 years and in the second year it just switches off randomly and the gprs does not even connect sometimes. I know 3 other people who are also experiencing the same problem

  • this is the best phone ever Nokia made, after the famous 6310i...i am using the phone for 4 years and it's like new..battery life the same, the same signal strength...what can i say..NOKIA 6230i THE BEST

  • I disagree dat ths f0ne is better than xpressmusic,u kn0w the specs,and maybe u have n0 basis in c0mparing,u havent hear the s0und of an xpressmusic

  • To th0se wh0 did n0t t0uch and seE dis, magsisi ke0 c0z its w0ndErful and cuTe xa, maliit lng xa, tsaka c0mpleto na xa, bluet0oth, infrareD, WEb br0wser, apPs, games, music player.. And a 1.3 mp cAmera.. It loOks like N SEries 2, betTer dan xpResS music..

  • Its really OLD now! .......still a good phone but could have been better W810i is better!

  • Dis f0ne cant play mpeg4 and m4a.i swap dis to 6131 my back 1yr ago,6131 to n70,n70 to n91 and n91 to 5700xm

  • Nokia 6300 is the best upgrade to this phone!

  • The latest software/firmware version for Nokia 6230i is V 03.89. This model is great. Had mine for 2 years plus and it's still going strong.

  • To all those die hard NOKIA fans looking for a replacement phone, here are phones i predict will follow well in the footsteps of 3310 & 6230i(phones i have used even though i also use the 2004 phone of the year d500 which i abandoned after 3 months), on the s40 side, the Nokia 5310 music phone, 6300 steel companion, 6500 classic blade(even with absence of memory card) and a new line of phones to the family (entry level, affordable, non bulky s60 smart phones) the nokia E51 and 6120 classic. Thats if they don't fall victim to internal price wars as nokia have a problem of releasing too many similar phones like they did with the 6233(which i expected to take over, and many might not know) then launched the 6234 and now the 6220 classic is also on its way... Non-the-less i bid Farewell... After two agonising years of service, I've sent my ever so faithfull 6230i to the retirement home due to technological advancements. I was fortunate to be able to hustle for the nokia N81 memory card version.

  • this phone is undenialbly the best phone i have,had for 3 years or so but now i have a S.E W610i.But i respect the 6230i for it's good perfomance

  • Hello, my email is [email protected] If you could let me know ASAP - much appreciated. Thanks.

  • @Praveen go to Gallery>Options>Format Memory Card and then it will be Formatted

  • Please,anybody tell me how to format the phone memory of 6230i completely.

  • hey guys i really missed this phone of mine.very useful for me.i had this phone for almost 4 yrs now & i haven't change the battery yet since i bought it.i even put a 1GB memorycard and it still work good.the sounds is good.i can connect it also on the speaker output.but sadly it was stolen from me.i was really upset until now,im looking for the cheaper one,even second hand.can someone help me with this one?tnx.

  • Latest firmware is 3.88 released date 28 july 2006

  • I like this phone. If it had a keypad like nokia 1600 (where the numbers can't be rubbed off), and it did not need an earphone to use the radio, I would probably get it as soon as possible. Have a good day.

  • Can anybody tell me, which is the latest software version of 6230i?

  • Which is the better update for this mobile...?

  • Guys i made a mistake N73 has PTT as well...^^ oh about mp4...this cellphone cant play MP4 video just mp4 audio..i really tried to play mp4 video on this cellphone by anyway (changing many codecs as well ^^)the only thing i know is that it can plays MP4 audio...isnt as useful as i thought...:-S

  • Is there any software to play mp4 video using this model? Or any other way...? Please post reply to this site itself.

  • good phone

  • abimbola.. i really tried to put bible on this cellphone, but i cant 'cause the bible has 1,9mb and 6230i supoorts just 1,4mb on app..thats why u cant put bible on this cellphone...^^

  • Dani...i disagree i think the best upgrade after 6230i is N73...N73 has the same conf (except PTT) and is one 3G cellphone...ill try to buy it ^^

  • Ludovic philippe mai i agree with you..i want to buy another one too...not cause this cellphone is a crap... but 'cause is time to change...we need to (try) follow the tecnology ^^

  • I really recomend this cell phone for the following its great for work, school and social use, first of all its been almost two years i have this phone, and it has fallen from a second floor building, it fell in the pool once whent a little crazy but after drying the battery and the equipment it was fine, te battery is awesome, and all the functions, sadly im going to change it because well its time for a change but i respect the engeneering on this phoen really i recomend it.

  • It is great phone in all aspects, except it is not possible to play mp4 video using this model.

  • Very good phone...

  • how to activate mms in 6230i thanks...

  • the Best upgrade for 6230i is 6300 SE W580i is a good upgrade

  • This is the best phone I ever had! It never gave me any problems and I have it for two years now but it's time to upgrade and change... What is the model after this phone? I am deciding between Sony Ericsson W580i and Nokia 5310? Please advise

  • This is one of the best phones on the plant .

  • The best handset ever!

  • me using this fone since 2005,i thnk this one is the best fone. it is realy very reliable and graceful.

  • This is an extremely superb phone. no arguements. THE END.

  • i have had the 6230i Since 2005 and it still works like new! its one of the best phones iv have ever had, before 6230i i had 6230 both were great phone but i liked the 6230i more becuase of its better display resolution mp3 player etc it still works perfectly up till this day ! the camera is good enough, mp3 player played Music Nicely! iv now upgraded it to a 6300, but the 6230i is still in Use! this phone is a Legend it takes after 3310

  • Great phone this 6230i & also older 6230! My supports 1GB MMC+ card from pqi, so MP3 music all the way & go. With changed new battery 1020mAh working for a good week :) Greetings from Slovenia

  • New 3310? Ok, last month my 6230i turned 2 years old and i can still use it confidently in public! For the theme guy, you can google and download nokia s40 theme creator and you will never have that problem again. Does the 6230i rock? DEFINATELY! Although it had its flaws like not being able to save applications to card to name a few, it still served me and everyone else who was not born rich well. My prediction and/or advice, if ur planing on getting a big brother for the 6230i, look towards the 6120classic, its an s60 phone but follows the same trend. Just like the 3310 had the die hard character, there two phones follow that path and only ever get beaten when its time. 3310 had to die coz of colour, the 6230i is soon to bow out to 3G, wi.fi, support for more than just 8 good applications. Anyone who knows their phones will agree that these phones, relative to the price, were on top of their game! Even though its time for my upgrade i still take my 3310 for a walk every now and then, and i know my 6230i wont bare a grudge for being the #2 choice phone.

  • i really really like the phone so much.but there is one thing that i did not understand is the THEMES i want to change the main display but no way to do that.and there is security code on the phone and i did not know the code again.plz kindly help me out.thank,s alot

  • In which firmware version EDGE issue will be solve. Please inform. THXZ

  • Im writing this in Jan 2008, thats roughly 3 years after the 6230 hit the market. Still, this model is being sold in shops. This is the best proof of the success of a model. 6230i is one of the best mobiles ever. Considering its price, category, year of manufacture one can say it is the best mobile ever produced. Is that too much of a compliment. Think of this - simple elegant design, easy keys, 1 hour video, 1 hour audio and any number of photoes with reasonable quality, 1000 phone book entries, clear reception, clear speakerphone, a sound quality almost as good as a good cd player, option to upgrade memmory. 6230i was a phone that came earlier than its time. That is why it still sells. 100% recommended.

  • hiya does anyone know how to delete settings from other networks in connection settings???? please let me know asap.... thanx in advance

  • hi... i just love this phone as much as i love my boyfriend.It's a nice classic cute phone. I've been using it for 2 years now and it's still in.

  • This phone is wonderfull,it has everything that a phone can have. I like it.

  • any one knew USB - 1.2 or 2.0 speed for this phone ??

  • This is the best mobile ever! The screen it's great, the keyboard it's almost like vertu mobiles :), and the features in this phone are amazing. I use it to surf the net through mobile internet and wap and i must say it work like a charm. :D It takes good pictures in daylight (in all rezolutions), the music it's great also. 6230i-the best. I'm using it for 2 years and it's stable.

  • This phone is still available in Mexico and yesterday I saw it new in the store at only 600 pesos (like 55 U$D or 51 euro) with a 128mb MMC, stereo headset charger and battery. The first I though: What a real bargain!!! I simply didn�t though twice and told to my mom about this phone (she was looking a replacement) and today she bought one of that and a 6670 too (the last one was at the same price!!). I know she take the right decision and hope this 6230i to be an excellent phone because I have the forerunner 6230 since 2 years and few weeks and have never had any problems with it.

  • the best phone

  • the best phone

  • i have never had any problem

  • the only phone i think is the best

  • The best cellphone ever! It's got all the features you'd want in a phone...camera, music player, infrared(most cellphones these days don't have this feature anymore), bluetooth...and loads of other stuff..I can honestly compare this cellphone to a tank...I've dropped it a lotta times and got it wet a few times...but it still works! you gotta get this phone...This phone is one of those very rare "lifetime phones"..those you get to keep forever..

  • the best phone!!!!!!!!

  • Thumbs up!!! I didn't expect that this phone is far better than N95!!!!!! wow, unbelievable!!!!!; LOL

  • still a GREAT Phone had mine since 2005 and still works like new! really is a Legendary Phone

  • *. I've purchased 6230i as a Second hand. *. This is a cute compact model contains all features (MP3, FM, Video, Camera).

  • Agree that this is a great and reliable phone. Mine is 2.5 years now and still works, even after dropping it several times and washing it on warm for 60 minutes!

  • concerning battery life: are you blind or what, search the posts for solution, I'm tired of repeating it. Plus: recharge battery not until it's completely drained. 6230i sucks in many aspects, but it's small, battery's good ;], sound's nice, connection quality is normal, menu's almost perfect. So I'm definitely not gonna change it in the close future.

  • good phone i have it now love it got everything i need. great sonund gooc camera recommending

  • price of 6230i now is: �80

  • my boyfriend has this phone and its so amazing.. i really enjoy all its features..

  • Its a very nice little phone and quite powerful, I have had it for 1.5 years now and no problems. The only thing that is very disappointing is the poor camera, with a decent camera it would have been a great phone! The Samsung D600 was released before the 6230i with a 2MP camera and great camera functions!!!, so I can't really understand why the 6230i has such a poor camera and almost non-existing camera functions??? But apart from that its a very nice phone. My next phone will be the 6120 classic or 6121 classic. Thank you for reading, Jen Johannesburg, South Africa

  • Well its a nice phone, i just wanna know that which system files it supports, Java (jad or jar)extention files or (sis)etension files, please let me know and reply me on my e mail : [email protected] : i will be thanfulll to you...

  • when i first got the 6230i it Bored me to Death! literally bad battery life boring mp3 player..camera very bad! i hated it, then i bought a 2nd 6230i still the same boring all round..its mostly a Business Phone the 6230i..its No SE Walkman...its just a Plain Business Phone.....for teenages this phone Sucks! it only looks good! thats all ..for Multimedia and entertainment Buy a Sony Ericsson .

  • hey every one this is one of the best phones ever made ....

  • the best phone ever... i have my nokia 6230i for 2 years now and its still work properly no hassle at all...

  • very cute and nice fon. its appearance does not tell u more about what it entails inn. more features and applications. but for most nokia fons they have problem with their bluetooth transfering

  • real cool phone. the sound is not so loud but totally wonderful. prob is trying to download and install jar files into it. it doesnt play wma files and has some probs trying to open certain jpeg files too. but the phone does live up to its reps as a serie40 computer

  • my phone battery doesnt stay too long its drops after 1 hour , i changed the battery but it doesnt work plz can any one help me?

  • This phone even up to date, is still one of Nokia best classics in my opinion. It tops all phones I have seen. I know a few of my friends who have also had this phone around the same time I got mine. They felt like a change and I told them, nothing will beat this. They got a another latest Nokia but ended up buying this phone yet again. The keypad is so comfortable to use too. It is a very efficient, reliable and sturdy little phone. Fast when moving from one folder to another. I am so far, not even in the slightest- interested in another phone. Highly recommended.

  • Well I own a 6230 and 6681 but never had a 6230i. I just can say that after 2 years 6230 is a great phone, never failed, droped +100 times and still have the original casing, great soun quality, loud speaker, very fast, and good battery life (3 days using functions). In my country it costs 100 us and 6230i costs 170 so here is a great difference. It�s up to you to chose which one you prefer and how much price difference between these phones is.

  • 3rd best phone nokia ever made :P

  • 2nd Best Nokia ever made

  • Best Phone ever made by NOKIA

  • In review about an EDGE issue not display "We have been informed that Nokia's developers have already started correcting that problem, so it should be fixed in the next firmware". But Still pending this issue!

  • Had this set in august 2005, its a great phone, dropped it few times, still everything is perfect, thanks to the leather case by nokia (bought seperatly)! Excellent battery time, and alot of features to play with! Its a great phone, simple i love it!:)!

  • in april 2008 i have 2 years with my 6230i ... is a very good phone ... problems ? no ! nothing ... is still working perfectly and i can say that i banged it a lot of times, it was in pieces ... but i put them back together and surprise ... is working ! good work NOKIA ! and i have to say that is made in germany ;)

  • had the fone for 2 1/2 years now,it' still works perfectly. got 512mb on it. one of the best phone ever made ny nokia!

  • iv owned both 6230 and 6230i the best was 6230

  • I have my 6230I for 2years now, and it never gave me any problems thusfar. As the comparison between the 6230 and the 6230I... 6230 better sound quality with medeocre vga camera... 6230I more user friendly, more on_board memory, megapixel camera...else its a all in 1... radio, mp3, internet, bluetooth and who needs more then that...

  • 6230 - Multimedia 6230i - Business Phone

  • im thinking which of this phone i'll buy whether this one(6230i) or 6230.. and.. please,anyone can tell me whats the difference and uniqueness between this 2 phones, and which of the two is best? or just mail me at [email protected] thank you! ^_^

  • is greet i will not change it is a superb phone it restarts some times but is ok in romania is a very popilar phone i love it

  • 300 messages is the limit!i tryed it and 300 is the limit...if there are more than 300 messages the phone displayes a message of low sms memory....

  • hi... can anyone tell me how sms capicity is there in nokia6230i....thanxx

  • To the person below me: I don�t think is possible to listen the radio without plugged earphones. First because the earphones cable serves as antenna. Second: I saw many false videos like one of a 3250 with the GTA San Andreas game and it was only a video played in fullscreen mode. I had 6230 and I never found a way to listen to radio without earphones. but maybe installing another antenna (but I don�t know how to do it, it�s only my hypotessis)this feature could work. Good luck

  • Anyone know how to use FM radio without earphones???? I saw a video that one guy listen to radio without use anything on it... please, please mail me!!!! Orkut:Andre Silva Myspace:www.myspace.com/neonoafs PLEASE GUYS HELP ME I NEED IT A LOT

  • The Best All-Rounder Nokia 6230i 1 good Phone !

  • The best phone nokia ever

  • there is a code to bring up the last messages sent and recieved even when deleted anyone know how to do this ? thanks

  • its agood phone,but i cannot connect it to apc can someone assist me please.

  • I have used this phone for the last 2 years and have found it very disappointing. It needs charging every single day, which can be a real pain when working 24hr shifts as you have to carry your charger with you. The buttons are very small and it is easy to make mistakes. The screen is also small and so makes it hard to see text messages, especially for one who now has to wear glasses to read a text message.

  • hi people hope you enjoy this phone like me wondering does anyone know how to get a connection for the raidio?

  • very good phone easy to use when you know how but it tokk me a bit of time to get used it and any orange users can you get ornage world on this phone?

  • Hey i just got a 6230i and a 3230 and they both have visual radio.. what is that?? when i go into it, it asks me to connect to a host or something.. can someone help please??

  • i just love my nokia 6230i even nokia 6230 i got both of them!!!

  • white display problem

  • Thanks for the discovery of this phone by the Nokia i really lked this phone.I bought it way back in South Afirca when i was still at the Uinv.in south Africa probably when it had just come out in 2005.i saw it from my friend and some two rich guys who prompted me to say i should risk my money for this fone.i call it risking because in most times you buy phones which end up failing to work then you resort to buying another one. But up to now i have never regreted as why to i bought this type of phone i am only worried after using for these two plus years i need a new one and i hve high hopes in the Nokia family ,if they had not brought the new N95 i would still go for the same 6230i but since therer is one,when i look at it on the net which is better than my 6230i which is N95 and please i am seriously saving for it.Please my Nokia 6230i keep p i really appreciated yr service and i still do appreciate because i am still using it.Angus Lukeeta,Uganda,East Afica,Africa

  • I've used the 6230i for nearly a year and it's very good I like it so.It has all the things that I need. Its price's average and fit to both gender.Sometimes it restarts but it's ok. This is a wonderful cellphone in the world. I use 512M card ok.I will never change it

  • The Nokia 6230i has been the best phone i have ever use. In terms of features ie ring tones music and radio and the sharpness of the picture quality is second to none.

  • @carbontrigger75 Nokia 6300 is the Best Successor to the 6230i

  • the best

  • This was the best phone i ever had. it lasted me over 2 years. once i needed a new battery the second nokia battery never quite lasted as long. i've spent the last few days looking for what would be the closest newer version... any suggestions?

  • ive recently been given this phone it has been really good but now the volume is going i cant hear people when they call me i thought the button on the side adjusted the volume but it hasnt worked any ideas?

  • I v had this fone for 2 years and no complains yet. i had to update the firm ware recently and this resulted in memory card getting flashed it has sum how got a lock on it and i cant open or save any thing in the memory card, is there ne possibility of correcting this? thanks in advance

  • I hear ya Nathan i've had mine to close to a year also but have not filled up my 1gb card yet. But its a cool phone glad to know it would work fine. My firmware is v 3.88

  • well ive owned a 6230i for almost a year now. i am running a 1 gb card on it which is nearly full, and no trouble at all. sometimes it restarts but very rarely. the mp3 is a bit low on bass but if you push the earphones a bit a lot is heard.. i blame the earphones and not the phone's mp3 player. one thing it lacks is symbian applications but everything else is fine im glad i bought this phone!!

  • this phone is really awesome, i am still using it.. no complaints at all.. also i love its camera.. only thing i didnt like is that the sound clarity is not much perfect..

  • it's an ok phone if all u need is to receive and make calls. the rest of the features r basic add ons - nothing to wrire home about.

  • Version 3.88 works very well with 1 gb card 2 bad about the mp3 player lacks bass. Otherwise excellent phone

  • there are white lines appearing at my lcd screen. could you help me??

  • I've had this phone for 2 years. It's The best Phone compare to it's class. It has almost every thing you need. but the mp3 player could be much more better and when i watch 3gp clips on MMC it freezes and resets.

  • I have this phone and i hate it with a passion. The battery life is horrible- lasts 1 day if its used at all, and 2 days if its not used, and sits at idle. It feels really cheap compared to say a Sony Ericsson, and the covers wear really easily. It also gets dust under the screen, which has to be cleaned every couple of days. I put a high speed 512mb card in it, and it slowed the phone down drastically. DO NOT buy this phone, I'm about to go trade it for a Sony Ericsson W810.

  • tis tel is a verry practical phone, little $ smart.. super

  • Infact you do a complete job on this 6230i brand bur it's very scarce in Nigeria market (West Africa)now. I wish the NOKIA comapany all the best

  • This phone is a crap compared to its direct contender, SE K750i. I had 6230i but I didn't liked the interface, it's a mess. And the features are lower compared to K750, except EDGE. If it had Symbian, it was great. I now have K750 and I am very pleased with it. peace

  • i have 2 questions. Can the nokia 6230i support a memory card with memory greater than 512mb? What is the bluetooth range on this phone?

  • How can I get latest firmware version? Pls. help me. Nokia 6230i V 03.89 07-03-07 RM-72

  • Hi, I have Nokia 6230i and 6120 Classic. One thing I don't understand regarding my 6230i is when I connect to GPRS it shows only G but when I connect to GPRS with 6120 Classic it shows E. Although both have an EDGE services. Can anyone help me how can I activate EDGE service in 6230i? Firmware version of Nokia 6230i is V03.46 Thxz

  • Greatest phone I've ever owned,had it for almost three yrs now and i love it.I recommend it for anyone it won't let you down.

  • Apsolutely one of the best phone ever made.

  • Definitely the best phone I have ever owned. Durable and stocked with more features than any other phone in its class! Flawless operation, excellent interface design, intuitive features, and a great keypad. This phone has made me into a Nokia loyalist. I just wish the celphone market here in the US would catch up to the rest of the world.

  • Honestly the best phone I've ever had. Features are exceptional and battery life is too. Been out for a while but far from updated as reflected by the price practically remaining the same since it was launched.

  • Nice phone. I owned it for more than 2 years. It never gave any complain.

  • its a nice phone but idont get any supported appication softwere for this i can forward the vedio clips on my phone

  • although its good but video is very bad after reopening d saved video. N im hving problem of opening d pic. its very slow if d pic is too big n if d music is too large i cant open it!!! how come???

  • The best phone I've ever owned. Worked perfectly for two years.

  • hy guys! Anyone know if i can fit a 6230 cover on an 6230i phone?And viceversa...just the cover,not he keypad.Thanks

  • I have a problem with my camera and blue tooth,what can i do.When i try activating the camera it goes to standby and later brings message "memory full,delete items in gallery".But i've enough memory on both card and phone.With bluetooth it can't be switched on.Pliz help

  • Definitely one of the best Nokias I've used. It has all the features you might ask for a middle-class phone. The cons are a relatively poor camera and somewhat low volume of the speaker. It also has that nasty habit of letting in dust through the casing and onto the screen. It's also quite thick and with a smallish screen. Apart form those, the phone never let me down. Still using it and it's been 2 years since I purchased it. It's fast at what it does..

  • I tried it too! Card slot supports up to 1GB MMC, but the phone seems slower when accessing the card.

  • good phone

  • Best phone at its price, with all connectivity options-Bluetooth, IR,GPRS,EDGE,PTT etc... Entertainment options Radio,MP3 Player,Media player, Voice recorder etc... But I didn't feel any effect for its equalizer... U can use this phone as a removable storage device , if u hav a datacable... One limitation is that it doesn't support message groups...

  • I've just got to say the Nokia 6230i is Brill l've had mine for two years. Just upgraded to a Nokia 6300 noway as good as the Nokia 6230i

  • It is very bad cellphone. Because I could not find it to buy. whenever I can buy it, it will be the best cellphone in the world. Its desigh is really great.

  • when i put a 512mb it does not work it ask for a password wat size memory can it use

  • its is a wonder ful mobile with compaq

  • diesel: it has a forward function, but very lame, to say the least, cuz it's slow and sometimes skips a track so you gotta forward anew. The mp3 player sux so much, that I hardly resist throwing the phone against the wall, it simply turns off after having pushed that red button or just viewed the playlist. I've no idea, if that's a memory card issue, but it definitely pisses me off. The battery.... well... it's gonna last for 3-4 days this time, for I've decided to scratch the contacts with a needle to improve connectivity... :) we'll see, but that's the last time I'm doing anything about it, since there's more to life than monitoring and improving one's Nokia's standby. Good phone overall, but some things make me mad.

  • Its a great phone 4 it s price. I have mine for 6 mounts now and I like it verry much. It s all I need from a phone: My battery lasts in standby 6 days with original battery, 3 days if I listen to music at work with own speaker-that s around 4 hours a day(3 days standby+12 hours of music).Another thing it has voice recorder in call--- i use this to record my friend s calls.Music player with my headphones sounds great but the player has no ff forwerd to music and video.The screen is too small but clear(tft) I don t like the camera quality though is 1.3 mpx.Great feauters.I recomand this phone to anyone who want s a good phone with little money (remember it s NOKIA) I told you the camera is not that good but i love this phone

  • @ Sugar - 786 Will try that... Thanks Pal!!!

  • to Five46 some tip's on how to Save Battery Life: 1) Charge it Only When the Phone Die's Totally. 2) Clean the Battery as Phonebooth has Mentioned 3) Clean the Dust from the Battery (the back of the Phone) My 6230i Last's 4-5 Day's after doing all those Thing's with Camera/Music - it Last's 2 Day's without camera/music - 4-5 Day's and im Not a Heavy User im only 16 Year's Old !!!

  • @ Phonebooth... Ok brother!!! Jus asked, sometimes it frustrates... That's it!!! What is the battery back-up that we can expect with this usage... -> Around 100 msgs/day -> Around 15 mins of calling time/day -> Around an hour of music/day using the phones speaker, not headset... My phone hardly stays for a day... ->

  • 2 five46: well, I'm not an expert, I'm just a user, so don't count to much on my response :) 6230i is based on the S40 platform, so I doubt whether it's possible to (re)install the dictionary, you can add your own words to it though.

  • To phonebooth... The T9 dictionary in this phone is not the conventional one that we find in other phones... Is there any means to install the conventional T9?

  • nokia 6230i is coooooooooool but my brother bought it but all over the sudden me my self i wanted to buy it.

  • i love my 6230i, try it and you'll enjoy it

  • I Love My 6230i

  • Please modify the status , this phone is DSICONTINUED from production for the Romanian market and other markets .

  • 2 Al: get vodka.

  • You don't need antivirus. It's S40, they don't get viruses.

  • 2 Phonebooth! I'm so sorry you're gonna think I'm complete div at this stage but what is ethyl alcohol? No-one I ask has the slightest idea. Is it the stuff you get with cd lens cleaners? When you say something similar what is similar if I cant find ethyl alcohol. Does it have any other names. Power save is on thanks for that. :-)

  • well if you ask me about dis phone its awwwwwwwwsome but the music player takes a while to open when you hav a lot of music. if you want to buy it for video pppppllllease dont. and can anybody tell me how to get a virus guard 4 dis phone?

  • I'm using a 1GB card and it works fine

  • solid but there's some problems with the card slot as sometimes it donnot recognize a 512mb memory card or it appears with 0.0b an it says memory card needs to be formatted why is that? i use the version 3.70

  • Veryy nice Phone nokia 6230i but sometime I Was listining songs or if somebody calling me in mid the phone will be restart.

  • 2 Al: :) Ethyl alcohol or smth. like that. Power save: Settings>Display>Power saver On

  • 2 Phonebooth. Thanks for that. Will give it a try then! Alcohol? Not whiskey presumably. Is there some special kind I should buy? Also do you know how to turn powersave on? Thanks Al

  • I love my 6230i. I want to keep it for a long time. My battery lasts about 3 to 4 days without charging - for people who have short battery life, let the battery completely run out before you charge it. If you do this 3 times the battery life will improve and also make sure you remove the battery from your phone one time each month to clean dust and the contacts.

  • 2 Al: mine was 3 weeks old too (well it'd been used a little already), but your phone might have been transported in a dusty box or whatever. Actually, the standby time of my phone has decreased recently (but namely after having been used in an area with plenty of dust to come into it - no other reason comes to my mind). So I cleaned it once again, I'll write, if the battery life become stable and satisfactory, that is 4-5 days with an average usage.

  • I'm gettting only 2days max wit no radio mp3 usage-read posts bout cleaning contacts-Should I need to clean battery contacts? Phone is only 3weeks old!!! Also how do I turn power save on? I need this phone to last for whole of Glasto festival and only replaced old 6230 because battery life was getting low. Sorry I did now unless I can solve this prob :-(

  • There is only one disadvantage in that phone - standby time. It lasts only 1.5 (one and half !) day without calling anywhere !

  • Just g0t my 6230i 2ndhan v.3.40.i cant put s0ngs via pc suite,always unkn0wn err0r.why?wat are the bugs of ths versi0n

  • Good but application memory is only something between 1...2 MB.

  • The default code is 12345 only

  • hi all, how i can get 3.88 firmware? where i can download it? or somebody can mail it to me? tx a lot

  • Hey Rado..alaikom el salam, I think you'd better get a 6233 rather than the 6230i..the 6233 has much more great features while they both have almost the same price in several countries..you won't regret it, trust me :-)

  • Latest Firmware for 6230i: V3.88

  • what's the latest firmware/version for 6230i?

  • Assalam-o-alaikum I just want to buy a Phone Nokia 6230i tell me how's its working and lasting? Regards Rado

  • 2 raja: sorry, if I've misunderstood anything, but by "it's been blocked" you mean that it was locked after having entered the wrong code, don't you? So, you do have the manual, and the manufacturer's initial code in there is 123456, as far as I know, it should work.

  • 2 haseeb: your card seems to be corrupted, have you got another one to try? I've once had my 512 MB card replaced due to constant accessing and formating without any progress.

  • 2 addy: No, you cannot, unless you create a caller group for each user, since you can asign ringtones for groups only. But that's a pretty good way around, gonna try it myself :)

  • i recently bought a 6203i and i wanna ask u smth ... can u customize the ringtone for diferent users ? i never got a str8 answer anywhere i asked ...can somebody help me ?

  • To haseeb Try to format it when in usb mass storage mode with a data cable if it fails then its the mem card with a problem u may need to replace it

  • its a gr8 phone

  • Great phone version 3.88 is the fastest firmware no hung ups... the display is great and theme support is awesome bettter than many phones on sale today wonderfully complete

  • Hello , i had a Nokia 6230 , but i sold him because i want a phone with a better camera and a new model. i bought a Samsung D900... But i'm going to sell this phone!! I want the Nokia 6230i , great Phone!!

  • It's an awesome phone. I have a problem though, I'm unable to access the net on the phone. I've tried to edit the browser settings but was unsuccessful.

  • Great device, but it is sort of disappointment that it is slower in comparison to its predecesor. Those who would not believe - Java benchmark v1/v2: 6230 - 1983 | 239, 6230i - 1394 | 147.

  • This phone is really great. I'm been using it for a short while and it is awesome. I need to find out how to delete battery contacts.

  • How do I set the phone so that my phone number is not displayed on others' phones when making calls to other people?

  • yes it can play mp4 files, but you have to adjust the bitrate of both audio and video(try and see what works best)so it is synch.

  • itz cool

  • To me, this is the best Nokia phone so far because it is the only phone in which there has been a perfect balance in cost and specifications. It can virtually do all the basic things that a user expects from a modern phone and the cost is relatively affordable.

  • TO GIXXER: iv got 1 suggestions for you. the problems could be: GO TO >>Bluetooth Menu>>set the device to "visible">> then it might connect.

  • this a best and beautful phone its very very easy and its not heavy small cute I love this mobile its first and best mobile seen it in my life thank you

  • Hello! I have a problem with my 6230i. I tried connecting it to the pc with a bluetooth adapter, and it's not working. I swiched on the phone bluethooth, but when I try to connect it from the pc suite (latest version) it gives me an error, that something is not working properly. Is it something wrong with the bluetooth adapter? Please help!

  • Yes,it plays MPEG-4 videos. iv had 6230i for 2 years and not a single problem with it.besides the memory cards.nothing harmed the phone.greaaat liked everything in 6230i even the camera was greatt.(video wasnt)lol anyway BYE bye 6230i.!!

  • can this phone play mpeg-4 videos?? I want to know because in this page says yes but I hadn`t seen that information in any other website. I will apreciate if someone answer the question because I want to know if this is a good upgrade to my 6230

  • This is really one (if not the best)very good phone of Nokia. For me, it is a real classic. I love, especially; the keys as they are soft and easy to use and I love everything about it. Indeed, it is a very reliable phone and far beats any of the latest phones that have come after it. It a phone to keep.

  • This phone is like a ipod to me. i have a 256mb card and I am very impress with this little nifty phone. The features are awsome and the price reasonable.Nokia is the sh#t!

  • can i use a 1 gigabyte MMC for this phone. Advice me please.

  • hi, i would like to ask you all cool people about 6230i that how you people upgrade the firmware version.I also hav this mobile i love it and my firmware version is 3.8. i was just asking this question because while i was reading the opinions you guyz posted i saw everyone talking about it. i would like to thank the one who helps me in solving this problem.

  • ONCE AGAIN: clean the battery contacts, and your standby time will increase (up to 8 days - mine). Now I charge the phone every 4-5 days (compare to the previous 1,5 day).

  • Hello, im from Romania and i'want to buy this nokia model phone.In this moment is not a new model but is more good like others.

  • i think this phone is good, you get all these phones with the amazinging cameras and mp3 players, but this is all round good phone, camera i not so good but battery life is amazing.sound is ok and good sending options.this fone is nothing flash, i is just an amazing phone, i'v had mine for 1. years and it has had no faults, i through it out my top windo on to concreet and not even a scratch was on, great phone would definatly recomend

  • Five46 thats goood so the firmware was the problem!! now its 21.3MB thats ok becuase mine says the same! the performance will be much Faster!

  • To 786... Dude, got me phone flashed, the firmware now is Ver 3.70. Now, the free phone memory is 21.3MB. Still have to check the difference in performance...

  • The Battery Life is better then most New Nokia"s - my 6230i lasts 3-4-5 Days without charging! its The Best phone iv had!!

  • this phone is the best nokia phone i have ever seen all my friend got this phone trust me its got everything upset the battery life is so poor

  • Actually...Nokia rules :) Really! All my friends got this model, it's good, the cam is good, the mp3 player is my best friend. There are newer models, so you can chose. But if you are thinking of getting this one - do not worry, you will not regret it!

  • please will anyone tell me what the peice is on the side of the phone were the music comesout of the speaker! thx

  • i use my 6230i as a Sole MP3 player.Besides my SE W850i !!!!!!!!!! i have NO stand alone mp3 player.

  • Hi all 6230i users i use this phone, but out of curiosity i would like to know how many of you use your 6230i as your sole mp3 player or if you have an additional stand alone player which you use to supplement your phone.... Pliz post ur reply.... Thanks

  • To Rokib I guess you will have to update your firmware to 3.88 or you can convert to AAC... The new nokia music manager is much better than the old one

  • How is the signal? I read you can't adjust the screen brightness?

  • Unbeatable in its Range. High ratings. Feature rich even when compared to the latest phones that come out in its category. Its brought change in my mobile life. Super useful MP3 player, Stereo FM and good cam. Its not only all feature rich but strong too. It slipped off while riding at 60 Kmph and no internal damage nor quality dip. Treasure it for a long. "My Precious".

  • compact,simple but useful phone..i can easily type text messages even im driving...matibay pa.

  • more than 5 days stanby with several hours of mp3 and radio, couple of hours using BT and 6 short conversations. I think it's pretty good. So clean the contacts and your phone will hold the charge much better.

  • My mic stopped working after I dropped my phone on the floor... This is a great phone!

  • this mobile is very good but the only problem is that the battery life is not vey good and the volume is low

  • CLEAN BATTERY CONTACTS with alcohol, your phone's standby time will increase. And turn power save on. Having this done, I charge my phone once in a week now (with little usage; I'll inform you later, how long it holds if used more intensively).

  • hi.. its a great phone unless u want to install alot of Apps and games in it,,it has all the features with compact size. But for apps n games u better go for Symbian phone...

  • My network is not working and i send to repair for almost 4 months.I always recieve the same answer that nothing could be done about it.Help me.

  • To jude thx,but no thx.Coz NMM compressed those MP3 to M4A/mp4(1/4th time small of a mp3),but that m4a doesn't play on my 6230i(ver-3.7). U told converted m4a by itunes play well,thats why i got little bit interested.Waiting for ur reply.(...can u inform ur cell no,pls?!....if u don't mind!

  • To Rokib sorry 4 the delay... If nokia music manager can compress a file that well as u say then better stick to it theses not much difference btwn the two... Cheers

  • i have a 6230i and im very satisfied with its performance, its got a decent mega pixel cam, large internal memory, crystal clear lcd good quality stereo and mp3 music. its got everything i need on a phone plus the fact that the size is just right for me. my only gripe with this baby is the navigation and selection key button, but other than that i love this fone. simply rocks

  • one of THE best phones out there....very user-friendly...

  • The phone is quite okay. It's safisfactory, i will say. The only thing i dont like is that the memory allocated to install applications is damn too small. try to install a rather large application and its complainin of memory; even after installing a 512MB memory. That ain't good.

  • @ 786 Yeah!! Will du that dude!!! Will keep you updated! Thanks to take your time off... kEeP rOcK!Ng!!!

  • five46 LMAO!!!! 1MB per month your phone is now gaining lol dude no wonder your wonder is totally flawed i have the lastest firmware on my phone which is V3.80 you have V3.35 which is virused up ..five46 take your 6230i to a Nokia Dealer tell them to upgrade your firmware.ASAP best of luck!! hope the memory goes up!?

  • @ 786... Latest Update... Now, my phone's showing 9.9 MB free... Ha... Ha... Can't help laughing at my phone!!! My firmware Version is 3.25. Is there any flaw in this version?

  • five46 dude theres something dodgy with your phones memory then. mine says "21MB free" on the phone memory!! wonder why yours says "8MB free" ???

  • I am a user of Nokia 6230i. I want to watch TV to my mobile,Nokia 6230i. Is it possible or not. if so, how. Thanks Hossain

  • To 786, Ha... Ha... Dude, Mine is 6230i. The display is crystal clear and I can take 1.3MP Pics too... Mysteriously though now my phone shows 8MB free phone memory... Any ray of hope???? Thanks!!!

  • what is the replacement model of 6230i (I prefer a generic nokia user interpahse-non symbian) with the same sort of functions and specs (but upgraded features like 3G and GPS etc) - Thanks

  • To Jude thx jude for ur support. But can u confirm exactly whats d software name & frm where can i d'load apples itune? Nokia music mgr compressed a 5MB mp3 song into 1.8MB m4a/mp4 audio.Is that apples itune do d same?

  • To Rokib My 6230i does play MP4 & M4A sound formats. Mine is firmware 3.88 and i use Apple's I tunes to convert MP3's to M4A's and they play flawlessly the only thing is that my Nokia Audio manager version 4.1 does not recognize them so u have to upload them manually using file manager or by USB mode thru data cable, if u have a newer one version of nokia audio manager it will probably recognize them. I have also been using a 1gb card since early Feb no probs so far u should have firmware 3.80 or higher and also format it from time to time to avoid fragmentation of data. Awesome phone with 3D java its cool battery sucks though.

  • Dear all 6230i user, can any1 explain me why i failed 2 run MP4/M4A music in my 6230i?...all songs converted via nokia music manager. If i would updated my firmware into 3.88 then possible 2 play those mp4/m4a? Pls sumbuddy reply to my cell no/via email.....!

  • It was cool at the begining the only problem that it doen't work good with 1GB Memory card. Excelleny Sound Quality camera not as good as Samsung d-820

  • Excellent device!!...using for last 2yrs with 1GB MMC. I heard-this set supports 4GB MMC(mobymemory.com) also.Can anybody confirm me is there any +/- effect with this giant 4GB MMC? My firmware version is 3.70,but it doesn't support mp4/m4a format(music@48kbps). ...can any1 help me,pls?

  • hello, can any 1 tell me what the change track list option in the music player does?
