yes i do love the style of this phone
and come to think of it that it is a S60 with the FM/Radio feature i'm looking for
but with its drawbacks i was not pleased at all
annoying beep,
no vibrate alert in silent mode,
hangs and the screen freezes to the NOKIA startup sign so i cant switch off unless i remove the battery.
unsatisfactory and a waste of money
almost perfect but not quiet

Hi , I got this phone 2 days ago , it works fine.But one of th disadvantages is the loud speaker which the volume is not so high , you many miss your calls in street ...
and the quality of MP3 playing is not good at all , i had simenes SL45i it was much nicer .
the camera is good if you have enough light , at the same time Night mode works as well.
the battery life is about 1.5 days if you work with Blue tooth and other applications for about 2-3 hours.
keypad is average , I can't say it's not comfortable but it needs a little paitience.
but in over all I'd say it has every thing u need and want .

Guys i would greatly encourage to go for a S/W upgrade. I just got back my 3230 today(which i have been using for 4 mths) after the upgrading and well...
1) Inaccurate camera resolution which cause the picture to be stretch sideways is gone.
2) You can now actually hear MP3 with bass, though it is still mono(I would say that the quality of the sound heard through the headset improved quite greatly). With the old S/W, MP3s are plain noise.
3) The most basic and important function is back, the phone DOES vibrate in silent mode when a sms comes in.
Since most of the main concerns of the phone's S/W is solved, so why not go for an upgrade then? Cheers.

For the compare between 3230 & 7610,
I would definitely say 3230 for the better camera and infared existance. Somehow, when u can files into older aged phones with infared. And for the camera, u will see the different. Besides, 3230 has better connection speed, read thema again. 7610 is all about design.
For saving mp3 into the mmc,
Messages->Open->Option->Save
Why people selling 3230 at this level ?
It's easy, people think its very unstable, ugly boring design. First, for the unstable of the set, u can easily upgrade the firmware at the Nokia Care Centre and most of the problems that occured before will be gone. Boring design is just an outlook appearance, for me, what matter most if the features.
Calender & Calulator,
Yes, 3230 has them. However, if u want better applications for calender, calulator, u may easily get their applications and install.
Firmware,
No, not every countries have the latest firmware ready for upgrades. However, normally they have at least a newer version ready to upgrade ur set. Just simply sudmit ur set to Nokia Care Centre for a firmware upgrade, and if u have dust under ur screen, request for a clean up.
Hope this helps.
