Hi TC,
how are u doing.. I logged on to this site after some time now.. and surprised to noticed that alots of ppl are having problems with this one. It has been over a month now that im using this set and NO PROBLEM at all.... Use it correctly and it will perform.... as it says user friendly... I m using it for MSN, checking my emails. recently downloaded and installed Opera for browsing and it has become full working hand held PC :):).. Im only seaching for FREE Instant messenger as Ultra MSN and Quick MSN are time bounded and expire after the trial period.... and i m not in a mood to purchase any.. :):) Kindly let me know, is there any IM Free for life of cost.. which i can install with out the fear of trail period expiry..
Help me out on this one too. ;)

Take care,

    Chris:
    Ha, normally I'm the one sending file rather than receiving so I don't have much experience. However, I think the bluetooth receiving mode is same as the SMS system (anyone pls correct me if I'm wrong). So if u use that program (MSDriveE??) to switch ur SMS receiving mode to memory card, then any file received via bluetooth will go to the memory card also and won't have the memory limit (well, memory limit up to ur memory card free space).

    Extra note:
    As to why I didn't bother switching it to the memory card... coz I'm too lazy to receive big files thru bluetooth from other phone. I rather transfer big files to my memory card using card reader. Much faster. Also, sometimes I don't bother switching off the phone when I take out the memory card. If in the event someone sms or send something in, I think the phone will automatic revert back to phone memory receiving mode and u got to reinstall the program to switch back the mode.

    PS: hey Chris, don't say I didn't warn u, b4 u install the program, make sure whatever message u want is properly backup coz after u install u won't be able to see the previous messages in ur phone. There's a complicated way to retain/move all message to memory card but it's beyond discussion here.

      Hey,

      a load of people seem to be having trouble with this 3230 on the old firmware. well.........

      I have had this phone for 3months now. its restarted twice on me (because i pressed to many buttons at once). iam still on the old firmware i think?:
      V3.0505.2
      19/2/05
      RM51

      i have a 512mb mmc card loads of apps installed including tomtom sat nav (had to buy a gps receiver tho) but this phone is the best phone i have ever had.

      with the sound issues, the quality is bad if up FULL but put it down one or two notches and its good enough for me. cam is ok but not that great at night (who cares? if you want to take pics at night take a proper cam with a flash with you)

      but i have to say the tomtom sat nav is awesome cant get enough of it.

      only one thing i want to no is: can you change receiving bluetooth files to save on mmc card? do you no TC? if anyone does drop me a email.

      allinall i think this phone is awesome.

      Regards
      Chris

            How do you remove the cover?

            I have a new cover and the required screw driver but cant work out how to take it off without really forcing it. I dont want to break the original cover.

              I bought this phone 6 months back and i have sent it to the nokia services center more than 9 times. it hangas, error/warrning tone before the ring or the message tone. Cant transfer anything that is bigger than 4mb cant set the message memory to the rs mmc. Try and use the phone quickly it hangs and restarts or simply restarts when u unlock the keypad. I just hate the phone the worst phone i have ever bought. I am kind a losing hopes on NOKIA.

                        Best site all this while is no other than
                        www.dotsis.com/vb

                        But I wanna recommend also
                        symbianx.com
                        Though the site was down and now everything start from zero, it's still one of the best place to be. (Tonnes of movies available there too)

                            the volume on mine is non existent (the ringing tone) ive changed profiles, tones but i suspect its a firmware prob. if it is where can i get it done, how much and can they do it while you wait or is it a leave it there for a week kind of thing?

                              hi guys i can see that many of you are not satisfied with the mp3 player of N3230 well this is not an mp3 player its a phone so any mp3 player for about 50-60euro will get you better sound thats the soluion(for at least 1 year)until better mp3 phones at an afortable price arive and about memory you can very easy find out how much your phone supports .Simply go to the store and ask the dealer to try some RS-MMC(and see who will work he he ) in your phone at least thats what i did. My question cann anyone tell me about sites who offer free symbian programs
                              thanks

                                        Hi,
                                        Has anyone tried the PD-2 Flash Enhancements for this phone. Does it work? Photos taken in poor lighting conditions are gariny and thought the flash would solve the problem.
