From the fist day i bought this phone (7 months ago) and maybe two ours of using the phone (the first day) i noticed some things that i didint like with the phone:
1: The beep sound before you get calls and so on.
2: Some few restarts the phone did by itself
3: Looooooooow ring volyme
4: When u take a picture with camera it will take about 5 secounds before you can see the picture.
5: The phone is a little bit slow
6: No vibrate in silent mode
7: Mp3 not good
And in about 3 months my joystick broke.At that time i got very angry and called this for a crap phone and waste of money.So i went back to my Nokia 8850.
In December i desided to take the phone back to the store i bought it from so they could update the firmware and fix the joystick.
After the update (27-12-05) i noticed that the beep sound is not so loud anymore.And i can have vibrator on in silent mode. And ofcourse i got my joystick fixed, but i think it will broke again in about 3 months. But my phone still restarts sometimes.
The mayor "problem" is the stupid MONO mp3 player.I meen its so frustrating. Me and my friend have the same mp3 song in our mobiles but he has the samsung e730 and it sounds alooooot of different and better with stereo.
(You will only have stereo sound with the headset when you are listening to mp3 or fm-radio)
If you want a phone with good mp3 go for another phone. But still if you want this phone because of the design or something else it will get annoing with the Mono mp3 in the future TRUST ME!
I recommend to you all who whant to buy this phone to NOT do that misstake!

Sorry for the late reply.
I seldom use the IR feature of the phone coz bluetooth is much better. I done quite a lot of business card sending to and from my old 6610. No problem. Not long ago I also did transfer few mp3 (don't think I wanna do it again coz it's so slow) to a SE phone. Not sure was it K300i.
Anyway, it's hard to say what's the actually problem. But may I know what files r u sending to these phones u mentioned? Is there any remarks or error warning/statement appear? If yes what does it says?
For info, u won't be able to send .sis .jar .mid by nature coz they r considered protected files.
BTW, 6230 has bluetooth, why bother using IR?Or U just testing is it?

many if not all nokia 3230s have a VERY low ringtone on them. it doesnt matter if you change the tone, the volume, the settings, nothing helps. i took mine to the nokia service centre today who upgraded the firmware but told me the speaker problem is common to all 3230s, basically the speaker cover cuts out the sound. so i returned home slightly annoyed to put it mildly, and seeing as the bloke had buggered up the catch a bit i decided to have a go myself. no doubt someone will tell me this was a bad thing to do but it has solved my problem totally and i now have loud ringtones.
1 on the back of the phone above the camera lens, you will need a thin sharp (but not brittle) instrument to lever the top part of the cover open. put implement in the gap just above the camera lens and lift up slighly, the catch will pop and you can pull the top cover off.
2 with tweezers remove the tiny mesh covering off the speaker, pop the plastic cover back on and problem solved.
obv i will be keeping the nokia in a skin case now as i dont want dust to get into the unprotected speaker

TC,
Thanks a lot for your tip. Know what, it did work! I knew there was something wrong in the settings but I just didn't know where to adjust it. =P Thanks soooo much! I have another question though if you don't mind. My phone's IR port doesn't work at all with my SE K500i, and I've tried it too on a Siemens CX65, Panasonic x70, and Nokia 6230. It can't receive or send. Dyou think there's something wrong with the phone itself or there's a setting which I have to activate again? What I do is turn on the IR from Menu then Connectivity. A flashing IR icon is displayed on the mainscreen after I do so. Watchathink? I might have to go back to the store where I bought it from. =(
Opinions from other 3230 phone users are very much welcome.

its hard to use w/ small keypads, sound is very bad (mono) its like a transistor radio.
camera not good it doesnt have the functions of a real digital camera, memory card 32 mb, 7610 has 64mb, downgraded memory, internal memory 6 mb yet 7610 has 8 mb internal memory still downgraded, its 1.3 megapixel camera not that much difference w/ a nokia phone w/ 1 megapixel camera.

Angel, try this
Goto messaging --> Option --> Settings -->Multimedia message --> Image Size. Change it to large if it is small and see if this does the trick.
