Hey,what do you think.Does the Nokia 6230 rightfully deserves the title as '2004's Phone of the Year'?was it really the best-seller of 2004?
Posted by jeko.uk
no way
Posted by folling182
My opinion is....NO, it was neither the best, nor the best selling phone, at least here in spain!!
Best = p900/910 0r k700 or Sendo X depending on personal opinions.
Best selling = t230, nokia 3200 or 3100, nokia 6600

Its a result based on sales, for me phone of the year would be s700 or moto v3 razr, based on perormance.

Boardering on 2005...I would say Motorola V3 and the D500. Cos i know they will be missed out in 2005 when the latest phones come out.
I dont think the P910 can be justified as it is so similar to the P900 IMHO

S700 or K700:-)

Nokia 6230 is a fantastic phone, yes it is a Nokia, but they have done something right with this model!!
Great features and all wrapped up in an attractive design!
Also the S700i is an amazing phone, with a superb cam, I only used it for a short while and then decided to sell it.
But while I was using it, I thoroughly enjoyed taking pictures with it, the screen is so bright and sharp, and that cam just takes your breath away!
Nokia 6230 wins on features, but the S700i definaltly wins on design!

Sony Ericsson all the way...
P900 is the best PDA/Phone combination i've ever used. Nothing has come close in both looks and features in my opinion...

Your right mate, and the P910i is even better, but for a small everyday phone, the 6230 is a treat!
If you really need a phone/PDA then the P900/P910i would be the wise choice, other wise the Nokia 6230 is simply brilliant!
Although if the the K700i simply had a memory card slot then that would be perfect (better then the 6230 probably), it does have 40MB of memory built in but thats not enough for MP3 capabilities.

IMHO: the Nokia 6xxx series are not on the cutting edge of fashion, technology or innovation.
A mobile phone has become an extension of one's personality, it should make a subtle statement about who you are...
I think the
V800 should get fone of the year, but then again i am biased 
Posted by govigov
Heck! A series 40 phone (i think) as a best seller. No way. Else to it will get disqualified for cheap plastic and poor screen.
Posted by k4m!k4ze
"Best Phone of year 2004 ?" definitely not the 6230. Maybe the k700 but the best selling probably was the 6600 in nokia and t610 in SE but i dont think they were made in 2004

btw in slovenia votes from people :
k700 1st
smartphones
900 1st

What about the 6630.It got a start in December not even Nokia expected ! Is all the S700 is + 3G access and mmc.The only bad thing is - it has a Nokia logo !

Guys
The most people's is talking about Memory slot,hmm funny is that
Why have the 6230 external memory support for what reason ??
To listen average MP3 and to look at poor video's on a tiny little screen ?? Is that why the 6230 is the best becouse it has useless memory slot??
I ask why people's are overeact about the useless memory slot ??

Draak1, i agree with u completely. there are so many drawbacks of the 6230. the screen is terribly insipid. so too is its size. and it does not play all video formats of real players. (only qcif encoded).
the k700 has been adjudged the best phone even by wired magazine and digit magazine here in india.
Posted by gerardsalvador
Yes at first the feature packed 6230 seemed like such a great phone but the screen size definitely lets it down significantly... what's the point of video/camera on such a minute screen?

@ draak1
exactly!
@all
Did you see mobile-review's best phones 2004 awards (unfortunately in russian only):
http://mobile-review.com/articles/2005/award2004.shtml
They have split to the following groups:
- Bestseller
- Price/value
- Popularity and innovations
- Image
There are three phones awarded in each group (1,2 and 3 place).
Finally they have a list of good and disappointing models.
Posted by semo
In MR's bestseller group:
1. Samsung E800
2. SE K700
3. Nokia 6230
Posted by maestro4
Just for the record i have the 6230 and regarding mp3 playback, convertin my cd's on pc usin musicmatch jukebox the reproduction is brilliant especially thru earphones weather at 128kbps or higher, stereo too
Posted by vineet_d
Its not 6230 atleast in india, 6600 and k700i for sure
Posted by Pradhika
Best sellers are not necessarily the topsitter. Crows are majority. The question is how much one likes.
Posted by *Jojo*
Why not
My other choices are:
1.
K700
2.
S700
3. Nokia 6600
4. Nokia 7610
Posted by mib1800
to see someone with a S700 is as rare as seeing a P910.
maybe in esato cocoon, S700/P910 is revered but in the real world.. well, that's another story.
Posted by voda_jon
we can argue about it all day but if its based on sales then we cant argue... i know in the UK for voda at least the 6230 has out sold every other fone by a ratio of least 4:1.... people just want it coz its got a cam wit vid an bt and its quite small to boot.
We all know there are better fones but dont forget about everyone else who doesnt come to esato, doesnt have internet access and only want nokia.... Nokia have the most agressive advertising out of any mobile phone manufacturer and this is what sells fones....

@draak1
Useless card slot on the 6230?? really funny to read how illogical some diehard fan can be in defending his phone and/or putting down the rival.
Posted by Pradhika
What is my share if I say ;-)yes:-) ?
Posted by Debu
Personally, I feel the 6600 steps all over thr 6230, but one cannot compare 2 entirely different segments of phones.
Posted by RicK700i
No i dont think the 6230 should be the Phone of the year 04 because of its small screen,the K700i shouldve gotten the award.

I'm not diehard fan.
I tell only the fact about the 6230.
Can the 6230 unlimit recording?
The sound quality is just average even the K700i has better audio quality.
Or watch movie on a tiny screen come on wake up
And i don't have a K700i i have the POWER P910i
