T230 better than 6610?


Click to view updated thread with images




Posted by whizkidd
I am using a 6610 now and i feel that except for the ir and screen the t230 has everything this phone has. The T230 also supports amr eller which this doesnt.

How about the storage space and menu speed?

Posted by whizkidd
Menu speed is ok but the t230 fares good here too. I have only 630 kb of free memory. I have no idea how much memory this phone has. Anybody out there knows ?

Posted by Ayush
Goto applications. Check status.

Posted by shyam335
I think its 1mb or 1.1mb not sure.and how about batt ,Hows its back up of two?

Posted by whizkidd
That i did and as i said earlier i have about 630 kb of free space. I was asking how much total memory this phone has.

Posted by Ayush
Just add up all units

Posted by whizkidd
Battery performance is good better than the t230. But that doesnt make it a bad phone. Remember that the 6610 costs almost double that of the t230 here in india

i prefer the 6610 over T230

Posted by Ayush
But remember it's expensive though ;-)

I beg to disagree too. Nokia 6610 is far much better with that of SE T230 . . . FM Radio, Infra Red device etc.

Posted by whizkidd
FM radio you need a headset to listen to. So does it matter whether the phone needs an in built radio ? The 230 also can have a radio if we connect a proper headset. And remember the little 230 has more memory. The ir is a bad miss though.

Just got rid of that 6610 which i was using yesterday. It was a nightmare! I dont think i would ever go back to nokia again.

Posted by shyam335
That was gr8.

Posted by whizkidd
6610 shortcomings: 1. No status bar when downloading stuff. 2. No Amr format. 3. Slower wap. 4. Screen flicker. 5. T9 input slower. 6. No option to add words in dictionary.

Posted by Ayush
The ir on it is also crippled

Posted by shyam335
6610 lacks joystick?

Posted by whizkidd
Yes it has a four way key but not a joystick.

Posted by Ayush
Ofcourse man! The only nokia so far having a joystick is 6600 ;-)

Posted by whizkidd
Also the ringtones on the T230 are better. I have even heard some people say that the T230 ringtones sound better than that of a T610. Dunno whether its true though.

Posted by Ayush
It has a four way key! Technically they should sound same because both are 32 bit. But in reality 610's are more well defined. 230's are louder more bass

Don't forget the 7650 .

Posted by Ayush
But not a proper one :-)

Posted by whizkidd
What is an 'improper' joystick. Can you explain? ;-)

Posted by Ayush
I think it had a joy pad or something :-l

I would say - 6610 IS worse than T230 but only in few features - many others are better! And those are very important.
6610
+
dislay
radio
design
irda (crippled, but good for data)
modem
-
memory
mms usage
sounds

T230
+
sounds
menu
memory
size
-
no modem
data only via cable
display is nice and bright but res is bad
slow
''plastic'' look

I would stick to 6610 even it's a N***a

What happened to your keyboard!

Posted by whizkidd
His space bar was on strike! :-D

Posted by Ayush
Lol man :-D

Posted by whizkidd
On a more serious note, the 6610 may be a better phone but we should know that the T230 is positioned as a low end phone while the 6610 is a mid segment one. Still the T230 almost matchess the 6610 in every department. The 6610 costs twice that of the T230 here. Is it worth that money?

Posted by Atlis
My space bar is ok, I have pda guys... not tiny display of phone

And this reminds me that keybord of 6610 is far better than T230...

I wouldn't buy any of these two phones... they are for children...

Posted by Ayush
No it isnt worth the money i guess! @atlis u have a pda still space problem??

Posted by whizkidd
I beg to disagree the T230s keyboard is far better. The 6610s was too slippery for me. The tactile feel of the T230s keypad is great. And yes these phones are not for children. These are for people who cannot afford expensive phones. Everyone one cant buy a P900

Posted by shyam335
Interesting talk,but you cant forget the fact as whizkidd said t230 is low end and 6610 is mid end .

Posted by Atlis
Shyam - yes, that's true - there's also difference between age of these phones and categorisation of phones to Mid, Low or High End...

Posted by shyam335
True,but consider the prices also.

Posted by Atlis
Yes price is reasonable, but I would rather compare T310 to 6610 than T230. T310 has worse display and no radio but has better irda, mms... and is also cheaper.

Posted by Andrew21
For me is better than T300.

Ok well here are some practical issues when comparing T-230 with Nokia 6610..!

1) T-230 outdoes the screen of 6610 in colour resolution but lacks complete sharpness as viewed on the 6610.

2) Everybody here mentioned that the Ir-Da port is crippled..Here is something you all forgot..Nokia's Ir-da does not communicate with the other brand of phones having Ir-da..I tried to send a picture from the 6610 to a T-610 and it did not even find the device..but when I sent a photo from T-610 the Damn! phone gladly received it..!

3) Nokia's Poly tones sound so damn crappy..Reason is that they are 8 Chord-16 Chord..whereas T-230 has 32 Chord Poly Tones...

4) The Voice clarity of T-230 surpasses that of 6610 which does not convey clear voice..Experiment done in the DTC-(Delhi Transport Corp) Bus Service during Peak traffic time..with all noise and horns blazing...

5) 6610 has an amazing Battery backup as compared with the t-230 But then SE has always had bad battery backups as compared with Nokia.

6)Reception is almost equal par..But here I would give Nokia the advantage..!

All in All T-230 and Nokia 6610 are great phones but I term them in equal category..Nokia 6610 was a super Flop model in India..whereas T-230 is the market leader for 5000 and below category..!
(Colour Display Models Only Under Rs.5000-Not comparing with Nokia 3310/3315/1100/2100..lol)



Posted by Andrew21
All has better screen that NOkia. I have looked picetures screen of N6230 and it was crap.

Posted by bart
T230 nice small phone, good menu, fast enough, great value for money (here it costs 90euro)
the 6610 cost alot more (here 170euro) for that amount of money you can better buy a T610 (here its 179euro with free flash )

the 6610i on the other hand well thats a great phone... lol joking.
6610i is one of the worst cam phones ever. just puch the cam button and you lose 1/3 of your screen, go to portait mode and ques what you've got 1/2 of your screen as vieuwfinder lol. 6610 is a bad phone and they didn't make it a better one by adding a poor cam.

Posted by Andrew21
@bart it's cheap in my country it cost 145euro

And how do u say that?? Did u know both phones exact no. of colors??? I.e., 4096. Only the 6610 has a bigger display (128*128) whereas the t230 has only 101*80. I am no Nokia fan, but fact is 6610 has much better display.

Posted by four
if i were you id just buy a 6600 or a 6230 of even better a k700 and get it over and done with...hehe

Posted by bart
for a phone that has no cam. a 101*80 sized screen is more then enough. (or when its a clamshell 128*128 is recomanded)
for cam you'll need a minium of 128*160

Posted by hariznordin
I had a T230 once b4 and i want to get it again tomorrow

Posted by Atlis
@dj wilfin - N***a has only 4 chord tones - only 6610i has 16... T230 display isn't so blury as 6610's...

Posted by bart
today 16 cord is out of date. you'll need 32-40 to keep up.
and don't forget theres a samsung that can handel 60
or a lovely Z1010 thats up to 72

Posted by shyam335
Se had 32chords ages ago in t310.and 24chords in t300 long back.but still nokia models lack good poly. Thats a serious drawback

Posted by Atlis
@bart - Samsung D-410, 64 chord, but I didn't know about Z1010. N6610 can play 46 instruments - but only 4 in one time...
