To Leo,
I suggest u get Nokia 3230 made in China. Mine is made in Germany, the loudspeaker or ringing volume is very low or soft. China made is better.

i heard that if u really want to listen radio on 6630/6680 etc u can install virtual radio but of course it is via internet not FM and u hav to use GPRS connection....
yes 3230 do pack many thing inside like radio,infrared,bluetooth,1.3mp & apps etc but a pity the mp3 sound is bad. :(

Hi. I bought this phone about 3 months ago. So far the performance has been satisfactory. Since the new firmware is now available, an upgrading should be in order. Does any 3230 user here have the problem with the dusty screen? My screen is now covered with dusts. I am afraid it is inevitable, but I wonder if there is a way to clean it?

i think 3230 is still best in its category/class compare to other rival. it is a smartpone though not 3G. 2nd its has mp3(mono), stereo fm radio, 1.3 megapixel cam, edge, bluetooth. it is very rounded cellpon. all features u want to find in a cellpon is present in 3230. 6630/6681/6680 which has no fm radio. disadvantage-ur get bored in listening just in mp3 which u hav to always download for new songs unlike if u have fm radio. k750i/w800 great sounds but not a smartphone. disadvantage- u cant install 3rd party applications.

3230 users:
i've upgraded my phone to firmware v4.0526.2 15-08-05 RM-51. yes my pon now does vibrate in silent mode when receiving messages. also the annoying beep sound during incoming call and messages became minimal which u can hardly hear. the mp3 is now good quality but still mono even u use stereo headset. my pon now is stable doesnt restart frequently.

hi all
Noika 3230 is a very good phone i used sony / samsung / panasonic / & other noika model but this is perfect phone every thing u will get in this phone every feature. songs are stereo with ultramp3 & oggplay software use stereo head set for better qulity
1. few problems u will find like phone
restart frequently - this is because of
software problem if by using particular
software your phone automatically restart
remove that software because that software is not compatible with your cell
2. mono mp3 so you download ultramp3
software so it will play stereo for best
result u use head phone HDS- 3 comes
with phone
3. poor video qulaity - play in real player
you will get good qulaity as well as prefer .avi files
4. battery consumption - initally every 1
accessing more & more menus & functions & features so it consumes more
battery but after 1 week battery consumption decreases & after 2 day u need to charge battery
5. photo qulaity is good use cameraFX software this is very good software zoom brightnes contrast & other so many features are included in this software. quality of photo is very good
6. you can view word excel powerpoint files
7. as well as .PDF files also
8. 1 min sound recording max limit per
recording u can record sound in sequence
minute by minute for continous recording download callrecorder software
9 caller photo dispaly in small size
for full screen download FS caller software
10.keyboard is also comfortable initally it
difficult to use but keybopard is good
11. the main problem is gap is more between keys so dust enters inside the cell
12. in india cost is 14,500/-
13. mobile supports 3d games
14. use 256mb memory card or 512 mb if u
use 1 gb then mobile's performance get
slower.
15. u cant transfer sms in memory card the only way is forward sms then copy content and paste in text file
16 cut copy paste of text fascility is given
17 also notepad is given
18 for free software log on these websites

yes for the 3230, the mp3/aac sound is mono even if u use stereo headphones. and agree with TC, it sounds really bad indeed.
actually not all nokia model mp3 sound is bad, the 6230i has stereo mp3 and the sound is v clear, totally different from 3230. for symbian phone those i know who has stereo mp3 is 6630/6680/6681.they should sound v good.

If u intend to use 3230 as a music player, u'll be in big disappointment. The phone is lousy as a music player compare to many other phone. Even with headphone, i personally think that it's still lousy... mine always have a high frequency background noise whenever i use headphone. Radio is ok... well, radio with loudspeaker mode is similar to the mp3 player... lousy sound (but for radio what more do u expect right) and low sound volume... y don't u go to the shop and ask for demo...
The phone is meant for simple music playing. If u compare 3230 to SE, Samsung, Motorola.... sound is way too lousy. So, what do u want it for? Don't go for 3230 if sound is what u want. It's good for many other thing but not sound.

Anyway thx for ur sharing of the good news. Pls keep us posted if u discover new features or changes ok. Cheers!
