several ppl are complaining about dust getting behind the screen. this is something i cant understand. the review on this site says that since it got non replacable covers less dust would be able to get inside, which is understandable. but i ask those ppl who complain, to tell me why dust gets settled more in this phone than any other? is it just your anger?

i am gonna buy this phone tomorow. so experts please help me.

    Friends,I had earlier posted a quiery about alarm function, but i didn't receive any response.I'm posting it for the second and the last time:

    Guys, i'm facing a huge problem here. I'm able to change the alarm tone at will to any given file be it a standard Nokia one or be it an MP3. But what i wanna ask is that how do you increase the volume of this function as i could not find this option neither in the phone settings nor in the help topics. Thank you in advance...

        hello everyone...
        I think 3230 is typical Nokia phone, good but not to good.. Iused it for a month now.
        For memory problem use program called MsDrv.sis to put your message at mmc.. Find it with ur engine. I use PC Suite 6.5 and I can see my mmc as storage drive at Windows File Explorer. Just drag n drop file ur file.
        I wish the speaker could be better, like the SE have..

          Had the phone for 2 days, then when i went into camera mode, it told me that the feature was not supported! i rang nokia and they said i was 'unlucky' my phone didn't think it had a camera. Rung o2 and they are replacing it.

            Bought the nokia on the 16th of march, the display flickers and the phone restarts while using gprs. Radio and mp3 sound is too low. The phone has been to the service center 5 times, I only got to use it 9 days. Nokia India was no help at all, the contact center never calls back. I sent a mail to Nokia UK and someone from India called stating they would replace the phone with a better model.... that was 3 weeks ago. If you go to the nokia service center you will find at least 4 or 5, 3230 users who have come more than once. And if you think 6680 or 6681 is better think again tried the 6680 and it restarted at the showroom five times, the salesman opened a new box and the phone hung almost every minute. He called nokia and nokia India merely said, please use the demo unit only. There were four prospective buyers (not me) and three of them left, the fourth ones credit card was already swiped and he was given a new sealed box even as he fumed he did not want the phone, after 40 minutes of quarelling, he was forced to shell out another 5000 and pick a 9500 since the nokia dealer refused to refund the money. Want to buy a nokia.... THINK AGAIN.

              The dual voltage RS-MMC uses 1.8v and 3.3v
              It uses 1.8v when it is in the phone and 3.3v when u use it on the computer..
              While a normal RS-MMC uses 3.3v even in the phone or on the computer..
              So, The dual voltage will save some battery power for ur phone, allowing a longer operating time.
              There is onli a slight diff in the price..
              So i recommend the dual voltage card

              pls read older commends before asking repeated questions

                  Does this card use or support DV RS-MMC? Will using a DV RS-MMC increase battery life? Or not make any difference?

                      In my opinion, having 1280x1024 is not that important to me. Basically a standard image size should be of the ratio 4:3 i.e. 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x960, 1600x1200.... and so on... so what's the point having 1280x1024. What I hope to know is, is there any software that can capture image at 1280x960 but without picture distortion problem. Hopefully Nokia can do something.

                      BTW, there's this nice program called FExplorer. For those who haven't has it, you can get it at http://www.gosymbian.com/
                      This is an alternative program to your file manager. But do use it with care cause you get to "see" many folders which you don't when using file manager. Just make sure you don't simply delete files around. There's a feature called "compress memory" which may be benificial to some people. I like the Phone Restart function where I use it to give my phone a quick restart whenever my loudspeaker volume control went crazy (i.e. sound level same when set at level 1 or level 10). BTW, anyone having the same problem??

                                  GOODDAY EVERYBODY!!!
                                  well ,guys I recently brought the NOKIA 3230---and found that the camera is good---however the disturbing part of the nokia phone is that whenever my friend sends me a blue tooth message I receive it in the inbox--- which is the phone memory--now the phone's internal memory is 6 MB---if i want a song of 5.52 MB--- i have a free phone memory of 5.2 Mb of a total 6 MB---now that is awesome ---because see, i have hardly stored anything on my phone memory---however any song via bluetooth if it is of 5.52 MB ---then after sometime my phone says please delete some data....now deleting this small data is not possible and why should i completely empty my phone memory ,in order to get a song of 5.52 MB on the phone memory----so will I never be able to receive any song via bluetooth on my mobile!!!????
                                  MY card memeory is 30 MB!!!
                                  so how should i make my default memory as card memory so if i recive a bluetooth song on my mobile , i will get it directly on my card memory instead of the phone memory

                                  HOW can I make my default memory as CARD memory and not the phone memory so that whatever bluetooth song I receive can go directly to the card memeory (gallery,---for example) and not to the phone memory---
                                  Please let me know of
                                  any software or the firmware which can do this---
                                  OR
                                  is there any setting on the mobile which can make my memory in use as my card memory!!!

                                  2.>> which version of the PC SUITE should I use as I have a IVT BLUETOOTH ADAPTER ..
                                  is it possible for me to save messages from my mobile to my P.C and how can i restore them on my mobile again---
                                  is this feature possible???
                                  are there any special settings

                                  my P.C suite is the latest version which I downloaded from the website on 30th apr 2005 says that my phone is disconnected and no supported phones.


                                  PLEASE let me know at the earliest so that i can do the necessary changes---

                                  waiting eagerly for expert comments at the earliest!!!
