This has no smart keys, no auto keylock facility, no stopwatch!, MP3 not good. I think this mobile is not giving us Value for our Money. Number of keyins to open any application is frustrating.
I have buyed this mobile just 4 days back & lot of dust has gone inside the screen, i don't know how to clean it.
I think, I have made a wrong choice by buying this set.

        really poor sound quality!
        if you are after for a cool phone that plays good music don't buy this one, also it only has a 6 MB internal memory and packaged w/ 32mb card you will be forced to upgrade it

                Just purchased it yesterday, with newest software version. Sound is poor, as mentioned..so be it! But, the IR doesnt work right, it sends, but doesnt receive, nether with PC of other phone. Is this software or settings ? Overall it is pretty good.

                        Can anyone help me with my hp cos when i put mp3s into my phone it doesn't appear in my gallery and i'm sure i went to the right place(i.e. the memory card folder) to search for my songs.

                        By the way, i accidentally deleted the digital sounds folder in my phone, is that the reason why my mp3s are not showing up? If so, can anyone tell me wad to do?

                        Thanks

                          I hv gone thru the few comments on this phn. I need to change my cell and 3230 is somehow top on the list due to features it is providing and the cost. But confused after reading the reviews on this. ???????? Hanging issue is in all 3230 sets or its in fews sets? Shld I consider this phone or drop it?

                            Hi Raj

                            Press *#0000# keys on your phone and then it displays the Firmware version, date of manufacture.

                                Hi Guys,

                                After seeing all the responses of people. I would just tell what i did.

                                I went to a Nokia Showroom and bought the phone with Bill & Warranty. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM GRAY MARKET. Buy it legally it doesnt cost us more if we buy it legally.

                                Then after purchase i immediately went to an Authorized Nokia Service Center which was very far away for me.

                                I went there and told them i need to upgrade my firmware, they immediately did it in just 15 min.

                                After this my phone is the best thing i ever have. Nokia people gave their prompt response and solved my issues.

                                Now i am enjoying all the features of the phone. Emails, Camera, Pictures, Games.. etc etc. I am happy with my phone

                                Just upgrade your firmware from the nokia service center and you are done.

                                NOTE: Before you attempt this, my recommedation is to backup all your contacts, messages, pictures, videos on a pc or some where so that incase of a disaster while upgrading you may lose the data. Though this is rare and chances of this happening are 0.1%

                                        Guys,

                                        All of your problems can be solved by upgrading your firmware. I have been reading all over the net about complaints on this phone. But once you upgrade your firmware to 4.0537.0 then it works all ok.
