I think it's one of the best phone I have so far. I used 7610, 6670, 6681, 6680, etc.. all those does not have infrared and radio. The 3D games for 3230 is marvellous, I took out the mmc card and developed 3R & 4R and the photos are surprisingly good.
I have also used 6230i and k750i, 6230i and k750i are just a normal phone with nothing much on them except camera.
I should said this 3230 is cheap and very good. I had it for S$578 + S$18 Mcard from M1 shop (some interest free for 6 mths citibank visa) and difference of S$200 to sign 2 yrs contract is not worth it at all.
For those, who had not decided whether to buy which phone but want a phone with everything-this is the one (Nokia 3230).
I am looking forward buying another red color 32320 for my wife, to me it's a good practical phone.
Lastly, anyone can advise on how to transfer all the softwares from the default 32mb rs-mmc to a new maybe 256mb mmc as I don't want to miss out all the softwares burn into the default card (so useful). I am quite puzzled why Nokia supplied only 32mb instead of 64mb (normal 64mb to other models).
Thanks and I love my nokia 3230!!!!!!

beginner: just to let you know, if you have a card reader, simply dump the ultramp3 application into your eg. Others folder - then proceed to Tools > File Mgr > Select Memory card memory > Others > simply open that ultramp3 application and follow the steps to complete installation :)
iamlica: yes there is - if you're going for Nokia Original casing it would cost you an approx amount of $35 - $70 it depends actually - fake casing are cheaper though :) contact a professional to do the changing of casing for you :)
VIkas: i would greatly recommend 3230 between those 2 models since my ex-handphone was a Nokia 6600 :) but in terms of stability, 6600 is far superior plus a better OS - and - in terms of functions, 3230 is the superior one.

tom: checkout at http://www.visualradio.com/ to see if your country supports it and etc, the required information should be listed down there.
TC: hmm... my friend have it as 3.0510.2ch but i don't see a point to update it as certain features which i wants it to be fixed have yet to be fixed - so no point upgrading it :)
MAy: to your dismay - the cable does NOT included in the package - the package only contains the following items: Charger, Handset, Battery, RS-MMC 32mb, Manual. that's it :)

Nokia 3230 user:
My firmware is 3.0510.0ch... slightly older firmware. But I wonder why when Nokia Care Roadshow came last month, they still say I am having the latest firmware already...

TC: oh ya, i don't face that problem - i have to admit, my phones restarts but not as often as what people have actually mention it here. Mine - i doubt it have hang/restarts for the last few weeks...
for your info - the things i normally did with my phone is to watch Animes/Movies using Smartmovie, listening to mp3s using Ultramp3, listening to its stereo radio via its visual radio last but not least, i play both rally and Skyforce v1.2 in it.

Anuj: well for your info, for games wise, this model should suits well.. but for music player wise... its a dual-mono player and its relatively soft - so take note, if music isn't the key factor... its up to you to grab one.
TC: i have not updated it yet - was awaiting for a longer period before i go and update it.
Current Firmware: 3.0512.0, what about yours?

I think the official zoom level for the built-in camera program is 3.3x
BTW, Mr. Nokia 3230 user, what firmware r u having?
Anyway, just wanna ask u guys whether this happen to u. Normally I often find the phone restart when I try to run a program/games with sound enabled. If i turn of the sound, it is less likely to hang or reboot. How about u guys?

Thanks for the response.
I bought the phone on ebay.
I think this phone is from ASIA so
i don't think Nokia Canada will
fix it as i'm in Toronto. I will
try those phone repair places in
Toronto i guess. If it was dust,
the keys should work sometimes, but
not even once can it react. i'm so
hurt right now as i just got this phone
And i 'm not going to deal with the
ebay seller cause i already had many problems with him about the delivery.
I"m so lost. I love this phone :(
