Hi guyz n galz, i am a college student n presently i m doin my I yr. I need to buy a good cell phone. Most of my coll mates have either nokia or motorola(only few)n Rarely a Samsung. But I like SE very much. But I cant afford a costly phone like the T610/T630/Z200/Z600. Moreover I dont prefer clamshell phones but only candybars. I dont need a camera but i need a color display. I found the T230 very much attractive and also affordable. But I also found many rivalaries like the
SE T310
nokia 3100
nokia 6100
motorola c350e
samsung c100
So plz tell me whether the T230 is good or one among the above ? I ll be glad if u reply me imm because I dont have much time b4 i buy a phone.N i forgot 2 tell I just need a 900/1800 GSM phone.

fromt the list there are only 2 phones that you should keep in mind thats the: T230 and 6100.
but i think the best choice will be the T230 since its alot cheaper and ofcourse better menu system and battery.
so go ahead buddy

nokia 3100 = crappy
nokia 6100 = crappy
samsung c100 = crappier
motorola c350e = crappiest of all
whereas,... 
SE T310 = good
SE T230 = better
also, do consider the SE Z200

Yah definitely i m thinkin abt the T230 only but what abt the memory capacity of the T230, how much dynamic memory it has? And how many text messages can it store? I also heard some rumours that T230 doesn't support profiles, screensavers and calendar, is it true? I came to know 6100 had a very slow UI how abt the T230's UI?
Below I have posted the blade grey version of T230 bcoz I liked this one than the steel blue one. N I wud like ur idea abt the color too. I think i have asked a lot of questions, plz spare ur time? Thanx in adv

well, i think the Nokia 6100 is a great reliable phone, and that the SE t230 is great too, but for a young person i would go for the t230, what bying something better second hand

Buddy go for the t230 for sure. Here in India it's quite cheap (i think abt 6200/- ) It has loads of stuff MMS, GPRS, WAP, E-Mail, 4,096 Color Display, 32 bit polys etc... The z200 sadly doesn't have MMS. the c100 acc to my experience is a shit phone  crappy ui, SLOW, BAD FEATURES, puny disp, etc. Yes its true t230 doent hav calender but may be added later (like the 310) . also not giving the screen s. was a gud idea since as it is the s.saver dissappears after 5 seconds to save battery...

Ayush, i am also from INDIA, Actually which part of India are u from? Great at last to meet an Indian. Actually I am from Coimbatore and dunno the exact price of T230 here? I think between 6000-7000. Is the data cable available easily? Any problems with this set? Also what is the exact memory capacity?

T310, T230 has no connectivity! And the screen isnt all that amazingly different! If you can afford it, get a  T68i... just another suggestion!

Thanx but T68i is out of my question bcoz of four reasons :
It is way too costly here atleast 3000 rupees more than t230 that i camt afford
The t68i display is 256 colors while T230 has 4096 colors
T230 looks slimmer and better than T68i
I cant take some funk gadget like the T68i to my college
Anyway buddy thankx for ur suggestion

@ash 1st of all t68i aint better apart from the :bt: (bluetooth!) 2ndly it wont be available new i guess..so u have to go for 2nd hand which you dont want. t230 is much better because of the screeen. Conectivity seems dodgy though. But u hav wap.... Yes I'm from cal...
So what u thought of finally?

Wat about the t300 better than the t68i because its got poly tones and wap 2.0. The t300 polys sound better than the t230 tones, the t230 doesnt have infrared or bluetooth, the t300 has infrared. And also the t230 only has wap 1.2.1. But thats my opinion.
