I would greatly recommend a 3230 due to its mor e improved functions - but if were to mention stablity, perhaps a 7610 may fit the job. :)

I think i did have a defective 6230i. It was restarting and freezing everyday..I still have both the 6230i and the 3230. The 3230 symbian has not froze or restarded one...
Im sure a non-defedct 6230i will sound better..I like using my 3230 more than the 6230i..Everyone has their on opinions..To be honest if 6230i software was more stable it would be a great fone..Better wait for
firmware upgrade i suppose. I know many people are having problems with freezing and restarting..Any way this is the last message i will ever post so C U Guys...(My opinion may be stupid but i really dont care :)

Swedish guy:
Just a little opinion on item 4 u mentioned. This issue is not a bug actually. It is the nature of all symbian S60's phone feature. Just need some time to get used to. Initially I also feel iritated coz I got used to pressing the red colour disconnect button as quick way of exit. But this is where symbian difference with S40 OS. It allows multitasking and let u run few programs at the same time, like in ur PC.
Normally when I want to exit a program quickly, I either press option and select exit rather than pressing back a few times. Or... I just hold the MENU button for about 2s and when the task manager/list comes out, I'll go to the program I want to close and press c.
To transfer mp3 from PC to phone, get a card reader and transfer file to ur memory card with it. 2nd way, get USB(DKU-2) cable. U can use bluetooth also but it's really slow.
To play mp3 as ringtone, just make sure u dump the file inside the SOUND CLIP folder (phone or memory card also can) Otherwise it won't appear in the list for u to choose.

i bought this fone on saturday and i just want to say that this phone is awsome!! It has everything i need and u could do alot with it.But as all phones this phone has 4 things that could be a little irritating for u,,if u want to buy it prepere to get this thing to when u get the phone
1: the beep sound before u get calls and messages its true, it beeps first and then it plays your ringtone (i'm used to it now)
2: the batteri is not the best (my batteri last 1 day, but i played with the phone ALOT!)...i think this batteri last for 2 days (3 max) before u need to charge it
3: when u get calls and put on loudspeaker it dosent sound so good even when u have it on max volyme
4: and this is one thing that is pretty annoing (atleast for me)...when u press the meny buttom and then press for example message and select a message and u read it, later on if u have to press the buttom back 3 times to go back to meny.If u dont do it, the next time when u press the the meny buttom and then message u will atomatic go in to the message u had read before (this thing happens to all other menys to,like profiles, galleri and so on)
The good things on this phone are alot but i cant write them all,it would take alot of time!
But here are some:
Nice big screen,videocamera,has realplayer, very nice camera,the calender is pretty nice to on the big screen,bluetooth,the games are cool,u even get a 32 mb card when u buy this fone...and much more!!
this phone will get almost 9 of 10 from me.
i just wonder how i can get my mp3 from the computer to my phone, does anyone know,plz tell me. And one more question can i play them as a ringtone?? if yes, plz tell me how to do?? Thanks

yo filipino guy, last nite I 1st time see this SE k750. Very cool phone indeed. Very sharp camera with sharp LCD screen. Camera got autofocus and flash somemore. I heard the light can be used as video light when shooting video at low light places. Sound very cool also. But that's about it. Cool picture and sound. Software wise a bit limited I heard. Looks more like a half digital camera and half phone.

3230 definately doesn't sound clear when u put loudest volume. Lots of distortion. In fact most handphone produce distortion when speaker volume put full blast. We are talking about having volume set at a level where distortion minimum. I'm not sure what file u play but I did tested personally 2 similar AAC file. Very big difference. 6230i may sound a little distorted if put full volume... but then again, it's already too loud! When set at decent volume level, the frequency response of the whole audio spectrum is way clearer. May be the sampling rate is higher for 6230i. Anyway, I wonder if u r the only person ever say 3230 sound clearer than 6230i so far.

The BEEP b4 sms and call is standard for all 3230 all over the world. This issue has been addressed here many many times. There has been news that a new firmware has remove this BEEP thing. But so far, Nokia in my country (malaysia that is) has yet come out with any fix. No way to disable it without new firmware upgrade.
(Hello people, friends... before posting questions, pls read the older posts... at least read a few pages back. Lots of question has been answered and discussed. Do a search using the search function at the bottom of the opinion page to minimize post to read as well as focus on things u want to know, TQ) (Wow, if this is a forum section, I wonder if I could apply become moderator hahaha)

The 6230i is stereo but when u turn the volume up it gets crackly, where as the 3230 is clearer in that regards..It beeps before a message and call but it doesnt bother me.. Dust will get on the LCD eventually, same as every other nokia that ive had..But to be honest i have not seen a perfect fone yet..
The Sony Ericsson Z800 looks nice to me....

I do like my 3230 I will give 2nd or 3rd thought if asked to trade for a 6230i. But am I reading it wrong or wat? 3230 sound clearer than 6230i? No way! R u having a defective 6230i? Anybody with a decent ear will know the big difference when both play the same musics or songs!
Don't tell me they produce 3230 in different part of the world with different quality speaker.... btw where r u from?

Geee, u went to dotsis using ur phone? Anyway, most of the file in dotsis are either in zip format or rar format. U need to unzip it in PC before transfer to phone. So no point use ur phone to download.
As for how come owaz get 3bytes file when using ur phone, that I'm not sure... I only know if it happen when u use a PC, most likely it's becoz of any download manager. Better disable the download manager before download or bypass it.

it's great! but the keys bellow the screen are a bit hard to press, anybody knows how to keypad lock, iguess if they don't have it it's because the buttons are to hard, no need for keypad lock.
