I would say the 230 is a better choice. Muah cheaper about 2500! It has polys(more chords) same no of colors. No ir. Mophun, mms, gprs etc. Resolution(screen size) little less

i really dunno what to do..

http://asia.cnet.com/reviews/handphones/0,39001717,39014701p,00.htm

lots of users say its a kewl fone but some say it has a cracky shady software which hangs at times ....

the only pros i see are the large display and zingy flashy glowing cover, and java...... memory is around 700+ kb which is less than the t68i 1 MB..

Relax. As you know se's have been more reliable. Both phones have almost same use memory. The 68i has around 500 kb user mem. Hey why don't you wanna consider the 230

Ayush.. its not for me dude.. its for my sister.. she is gonna use a cell fone for the first time..

t230 looks are a bit too conservative.. dont u think so?... and it doesnt have ir too as the 3100..

apart from it.. featurewise they are almost same with the differences u have mentioned..



which looks good on a gal's hand.. ....

like i said my 3100 doesn't have irda... so chill if it does it does it if doesn't it doesn't.

IMO low end nokia is better than low end SE.

The nokia software is fine... same as the ones that run in the 7250 etc..etc..but either way your choice..good luck

says no irda here too... connects via pop port.

Nokia website said pics are transfered via ir. And jade what do you mean It's conservative and won't suit your sis? If you mean ease of use it aint that tough to use also. And come on a software engineer's sis gotta be smart :-D and what are you for? Can't you tech her

.... @Ayush..

i am just watching the live and stills of t230

http://www.sonyericsson.com/t230/

and my minds been switching to it..

still itchy in deciding.. and my friend works in nokia software and hes already discounted and given an invoice of 3100 and i still havent done anything with it.. and it stands at Rs 8649/-... and i am yet to check the price of t230... ....
i am really in a catch-22 situation..

i hate nookia for all u know.

Sorry to have to do this,
but the blokia is the better phone for your sister.
T68i is/was a brilliant phone... in it's day. But those days are over, and you simply can't give your sis a phone with a screen that has way less colors than those that her g'friends probably have.
And the shiny lights just make 'em all happy and giggly.
She's probably not a 'phonefreak' and she probably doesn't chat on mobile phone forums so do her a favor and get her the nokia

@Rokin#128.. thanks..

BTW 3100 doesnt have infrared, as i have see the model myself and the body is quite plastic..

the outer shell of t230 is more aesthetic than the 3100..

i had a t226 the north american model.. adn as a phone it was pretty good... i didn't like the look of it a little boring. the screen was pretty good for 512 the t230 is 4k i think???? not sure too lazy to check.

i didn't like the new keypad/direction pad..the joystick is better.

the reception on the phone was great..but other wise i little boring for me.

the n3100 had more to it.. the speaker phone, games, and little things that make young people go for it...like all the pretty lights etc..ect.. and the screen is better

overall i'd say t226(t230) 7/10 nokia 3100 8/10 in the low level category. why don't you just get her a t610 they're dropping in price anyways.

you can find used ones mint condition for about 160 USD
