Hi,
Well the current price for T-230 in new delhi is Rs.5000 /- Incl tax with Bill and Rs.7000 with communicam attachment..
Personal suggestion don't go for T-230..Great SE phones are T-610/T-630/Z 600/K 700i..for a lower category SE phoen are not that intresting although much better than Nokia so if you can invest a little more then pick the mid range segment..

T 610 - 12,000 Rupees
T-630- 14,600 Rupees
Z 600- 16,700 Rupees
2 pegs of whisky-Rs500,4 shots of Tequila-Rs1000,6 cans of Beer-Rs300,Driving home a Girl who has drank all this-PRICELESS

T230 is a good phone to start with, although once u r aquainted with the features better go for T630/Z600 or K700i. My personal advice is if u have atleast 10k to 13k, buy a T630 its a awesome phone.

The T610 for 9000 looks tempting enough for me!

hehe. i dont have 10k for a mobile phone (i wish i could)

So should I settle for T230 ? Are there any problems (reception, sound quality, navigation speed, battery...) with this model ?

There is this one issue that i have read a lot eleswhere - somehow T230 user manage to get some dust behind the screen and its impossible to clean it. well i am not sure for how true is this - but seems it is a common problem. What are the opinions of other T230 users on this.

Except for java T230 seems to be a nice piece of hardware to buy.

yeye i am going to sony world - mumbai to check out the phones soon yoohoo !

plasmadog i am not a DIGIT subscriber. but what i have read elsewhere is motorola/samsung/benq and other brands in india are cheap and offer more features but are not that reliable. they have serious issues like slow navigation speed, they hang, color screens are not bright...so i want to stay with SE/Nokia

Also my last question is about software/games for this phone. Is it easy to get ringtones/pictures/games for this model ? Since i dont want to download these things (network operators charge a lot for such stuff - and i dont want to waste my parents money for nothing) is it possible to buy a CD from somewhere within mumbai and upload it from computer to mobile phone ?

Of course you can upload from pc to mob,for that you need a datacable,you can get cds with ring tones and stuff from mumbai i think.so dont 4get to get the datacable. Since we all can support you ,ringtones and wallpaper must not be a prob.:-)

The T230 is a great low end phone. The only thing to crib about it is the low resolution screen. And it cannot be synced with a PC. But you can download ringtones and wallpapers for free if you have gprs. No need to pay money for ringtones. There are many fee sites. Overall i would rate the T230 higher than the blokia 6610 which is a 'so called high end phone. I have used both. God i love my T230 so much!
