The 3230. Looks very unlike other Nokias and is very good to look at! Symbian by the way. And 1.3 mega pixel camera too.

You think so? I think it looks pretty weird, myself...

it looks like a brick(screen), with a smaller brick attached to the bottom(keypad)



Posted by k4m!k4ze
actually it looks like some bloke sat on the lower section (keypad) before the plastic dried up completely

Posted by 50Cent
haha, yeah it does actually.

but it has a good spec list!!

Posted by k4m!k4ze
yeah, cool specs but that's something that confuses me. The specs are identical to the nokia 6630 ! Why would nokia do such a dumb thing ?

i think its kind of clever marketing, you may like the features of a phone but not the looks so make a few versions of the same phone with different looks and they appeal to different people. se kind of did it with the t610/630 and z600

I feel the 3230 is one of the better looking nokia phones in recent times. Although sometimes i think it looks like a remote control...

Posted by milmino
or like the 7610 and the 6670.

anyway when i first saw the 3230 i thought it was a slider but later realised it was a brick.... i mean bar

ps, the specs arn't exactly the same as 6630 as 3230 doesnt have 3g, hence is cheaper.

Posted by k4m!k4ze
3230 does have 3g

edit : oops it doesnt it has EDGE, i confused the two

I´m convinced Nokia means rehash in Finnish..
I am also of the opinion that the designers of the current Nokia lineup should be taken outside and shot...
..with a paintball gun, until they promised not to do mind altering drugs while at work.

@ThreeX: Well spoken. Methinks the only good-looking Nokia ever was the 6610. Anybody agree?

Posted by ThreeX
Well, you ought to see in my signature that i am not anti-Nokia on pure principal, and also spot at which point in time i lost interest in their designs..
Actually i think the 6100 is pretty nice too, display quality doesn´t really knock you out, but still.. The 6600 is acceptable as well, but the current lineup is a joke design-wise..

Personally, I think the design team need to be sacked to a man, and a new team put together. Preferably poached from SE or Moto or even Sagem! :D

Posted by Residentevil
Fire that lead designer.

Even Better - Hurl their own bricks at them until they beg for mercy

I dont like the 3230, it looks like an SE designe. I think the 6170 is the only now model designe that i like :-)

Posted by methylated_spirit
Their designs are rubbish at the moment, but to be fair nokia were groundbreaking with earlier designs, 3210 was really something to look at, at the time , and the 8210 was, and still is, a great looking phone.

Posted by milmino
hahahahahaha If you accidentally dropped a nokia they are groundbreaking

TBH I dont care much for design, Just the specs

Posted by 50Cent
...ground breaking... LMAO

Posted by k4m!k4ze
good one milmo !

Is the 3230 out yet?

Posted by foreplay85
Should be out by the end of q1 2005 along with the 7710

i somewhat hate Nokia phones because they release units like there's no tomorrow... in effect, the price of previously released units pummels down like a meteor... i wouldn't want to be an owner of a phone that buys high and sells low...
