Hi
I have allways been a sony/ericssion fan,and all my mobiles except for my first crappy alcatel have been great.
now i have a t610, which i really like, but the photograph quality really pisses me off!
I dont need hi resolution pictures on my phone, just a descent quality lens. I am planning on buying a digicam soon, but i want a phone thats good taking pictures.
This month vodafone spain have brought out the nokia 6230 for only 250€ on contract, which i think is really cheap, specially taking in mind that most vodafone live phones drop in price after a month or so.
example, now they offer the nokia 3200 which i could get as a spare phone for just 55€.
Im in a bit of a dilema, i want to carry on with SE but if the nokia 6230 does better pictures im gonna have to change to nokia.
this actually annoys me really, cause i hate nokia phones in general, but i just like this one...

Could anyone please show me the light??

have a test of the phone see what the quality is like in general nokia cams aint that bad
one thing that does put me off about the phone is the screen size coming from a t610 you will notice the difference yes you will get use to it but it will be uncomfortable
k700 is nearing release in europe so that may be an option though i aint sure what the cam quality is like hopefully better than there previous attempts

The Nokia 6230 is a nice fone mates! Small, MMC, cam, radio, video camera sleek etc. It's like a small P900 - to me (my opinion here guys - OK?). Why not test it folks . . . . . the water is just fine.

If it was up to me i would go with the Nokia 6600 which works on the symbian platform and is loaded with features. And it costs less. But try to get an original one in a nokia box.

I just got a 6230 and think its great. Infact its made my P900 redundant. Now I can get signal where my SE couldn't.

I'm not a Nokia lover. I'm just a lover of good phones.

Wow, what the hell is going on. Firstly i know you said it was your opinion but it suck. The the 6230 is nothing like a p900, its not smart for a start. And if its making your p900 redundant then that just means you bought a p900 when you didn't all the features. The k700 kicks the 6230 and i'm not Just saying that as a se fan. If you really want a good camera for taking quality pics get a gx, preferably the gx30

I'm not saying the 6230 is anything like the P900. They are totally different phones. But for ease of use and speed the 6230 wipes the floor with the P900.
I personally don't like the GX30. I find it quite bulky and very don't like Vodafone branding.

I tried the 6230 at a carriers business center. I was totally disappointed. I shouldn't have picked it up in the firstplace.

First thing you notice is that its got such a small screen. the keys feel like they're likely to fall off. I couldn't recognize a face on the recorded video (whether thats due to the screen or the camera - I don't know). It didn't feel solid enough. Basically, I felt like I was holding a kid's toy in my hand and thinking to myself - What were nokia's designers thinking?

I suppose you can't expect the videos to be exceptional, after all it's still just a mobile, u neva sed if the photos were any good? Photo's taken with Sony Ericsson's come out horrible. Even the T630 produces horrible features, and it's supposed to be the improved version of the T610!

I don't see why you have to stay 'brand loyal', if a mobile manufacturer is offering a mobile with better features why wouldn't you buy off them?

I'm just saying I was disappointed with 6230. however I will admit that the 6600's videos and photos look really good.

well thanks for the opinions guys!
i see that as usual not everyone agrees with that the phone is great.
I have also considered buying the 6600, but its just way too big and bulky.
I'll be going to a vodafone store either today or tomorrow, to see if they can update the firmware on my t610, so while im there i'll if i can have a look at the 6600 and 6230.
And about the gx30.. its a bit out of my buget.
i have seen it for 350€ on vodafone, and buying vodafone branded phones annoys me enough, so id rather by an un branded phone with 350€ that the sharp gx30 branded by vodafone [addsig]
