Its not a bad little phone, got most things you would want in a phone, but for me the styling is very bad, and the buttons are to close together.

That 6230 is a pretty sorry piece of equipment. Even the T630 has a better screen. So instead of buying a T630 trade that sorry piece in for it.

I have Ericsson/SE phones for almost a decade so please don't post stupid comments just fact, read my post again.

Only REAL reason against 6230 is average screen, nothing more for a phone I can buy for only 240€ in my country.

But I will never buy it because it is Nokia.

I have to put up with this avatar since there are no nokia avatars (for obvious reasons

Its funny you mention the T630, my friend, a devoted T630 user was very impressed with my 6230, and the screen too, which is said to be the only weak feature. Side by side the 6230 had a sharper and brighter screen with deeper colours. Not to mention a better response time and much faster menus.

I guess its hard for you to take, but as much as i love Sony, the whole ericsson thing lost me after the T610.

The 6230 is poorly designed imho...why go to the bother of making its mmc hot swappable, and then putting it so you have to take the battery out to change it? Nokias design department strike again...

I don't like the look of Nokia 6230. I think Nokia always positioned the 6xxx series as business phone so that the design is not in its best comparing to 7xxx which is called as fashion phone by Nokia.

Till now I don't need EDGE (in my country EDGE only provided by one provider and is still limited...)
I'm rarely listening to the Radio (unless I'm driving my own car... and the radio comes from the stereo set in my car, not from the phone...)
I need MP3 for ringtones only (that I got this feature in my SE P900...)
Digital Camera? My SE P900 got VGA Camera and rarely using it. I have Canon Ixus 40 for Digital Camera, with 4 Mega Pixel, Digital & Optical Zoom, very small size with many features (the size is smaller than my SE P900...)

So, what's the worth buying Nokia 6230 for me???

I think the question to ask is: will the Nokia 62xx be noticed by die hard fans and whether it makes a difference to our lives!

Serioulsy, i don't think boiz fear this fone...they are too busy being hapy with their fones!

The joystick of the 6230 is quite temperamental too, keeps wanting to press in the other directions when u try press it straight down

And it looks bad too
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence of your attempt !!

Yes i noticed that about the joypad, it likes to do its own thing, and it feels loose, when it should feel tight and solid.

That MMC comment is pretty funny, i mean, who really needs to swap out 512mb of flash so often that turning the phone off becomes hassle? :confused: I have 7 CDs on there and im still not tired. I prefer the hidden MMC to a flimsy flap like on most phones with quick removable cards.

The 5 way pad was a bit odd at first but mine never feels loose, and it was a nice change up from the T630 since the pad is actually faster in games, like splinter cell

But the pad is preference, i quickly got used to it and never make an error now.

What are you talking about

The 6230 was a pioneer at its release, first series 40 model and first small phone to have video recording, playback, MP3 support and loudspeaker. Bluetooth, IR and expandable memory.

Of course, its hard for you to see since this 6month old thread has been resurrected at a time when other phones are finally catching up

Thats a vey good point actually, it was advanced for its size at the time. The only real gripe i have against it is the small screen size (im used to pxx with large screens) and the mmc placement...i know what your saying but its still silly imho.
