      I’ve been using this phone foe 15 days. I think it’s one of the best phone. It is the best looking phone like N7610. Best display but sound is just OK and it has all features, you can expect. Fast connectivity using GPRS Class 10 and EDGE which any other Nokia series 60 phone doesn’t have. So if you want fast GPRS connectivity you will have to go for it!

                      Thanks a lot for the info. I'll contact the Nokia Care Center and see what they can do about it. I have read a lot of opinions about upgraded firmware. Can you tell me where I can get the upgraded firmware from?

                            The sound quality of the phone IS bad if u try listening to the mp3 songs using the headset.as i hav mentioned u could always test the quality to hear for yourself before you buy.for some reason or other, the aac files preloaded in the phone sounds ok when using the headset to listen. but pls dont be misled, pls test it with other mp3 songs. referring to the mp3 sounds playback NOT the fm radio sound.

                            if u want to use this phone to listen to mp3 songs, please do not buy 3230.it is not true that nokia phones cant produce good mp3 playback. there are symbian phones with stereo sound output like 6630, 6681 etc... the problem is with this model. the sound is simply unacceptable if u are going to use it to listen to full mp3 songs.

                            if u dont use this phone to listen to mp3 songs at all, then i think it is still can consider buying.

                                Zubair,

                                About the joystick, yes. U may get it fixed at the Nokia Care Centre. If ur lucky, they will change it for free. Or maybe, u may need to pay some money for it to be changed.

                                ahelintor,

                                According to u, about the dust under the screen, yes its a problem every 3230's owners facing but then, dont be panic. U may simply walk in to Nokia Care Centre for help. Just leave it there for a while, they will clean it for u.

                                Hope that helps.

                                  Nauman,

                                  For ur information, the cover of 3230 can be changed. And for the restarting of the hp, u may actually installed some applications which are not suitable for 3230, just simply uninstall them to solve it. If this is still going unsolved by uninstalling, sudmit ur problem to Nokia Care Centre, get ur hp fixed there as they will upgrade ur firmware to the latest version.

                                  Hope that helps.

                                    Arush,

                                    The sound quality of the phone is not that good, but its not that bad. Its in mono, and most of the phones around that age are in mono, well, mostly but not all. If u want a better sound quality set, get a SE, Samsung or Motorola, they should be able to applease u.

                                    About the file transfering problem, just download an application which is called, MsvDriveE.sis to solve it. It will change the setting of saving files in phone memory to mmc(memorycard)'s memory.

                                    Hope that helps u.
                                    Anymore enquires ?

                                        I've been using da fone for 2 months now. Everything was working well till now. Recently I've been facing problems with the 5 way navigation key. The key is not as smooth as before and makes creeking noises when used. Is this repairable?
