    the bugs so far

    1) camera at normal and high resolution not proportional
    2) when ringing mode (whichever profile) put to silent, SMS DOESN'T VIBRATE
    3) beep comes out everytime before the phone rings. (for both calls and sms)
    4) the basic resolution 640X480 quality is MUCH MUCH worse than compared to 6600's 640X480 quality!!!
    5) The max and min vol of real player is SAME!
    6) bluetooth messages r stored in phone memory and not in memory card. solution for this is to install a file called MsdriveE which u can find it at any symbian website.after installating it my phone stored messages on memory card. but once i remove my memory card from phone it again stores messages on phone memory and then after installing a new memory card , even on insatlling MsdriveE the messages are stored on phone memory. i will soon find its solution u guys 2 try 2 find it.

        I have it on Orange too! To change the settings on the first screen, go to: Settings>Phone>Standby and you can choose which function the left and right keys are assigned to.

        I love this phone, not really bothered by the bugs, other than the camera one, that needs fixing! As for the beeps before calls, it's a so what really.

          Hey anyone knows that wherther i can use an normal Rs MMC card instead of a Dual voltage RS MMC on the 3230. Would it spoile the phone or create any problem to the downloading process cos dual voltage seems alot more expensive..

              I have just bought this phone on orange (uk) and am very satisfied with it, except for one drawback - the standby screen is somehow tailored to Orange - it has a strip down the left hand side of the screen with shortcuts to contacts, messages etc. Unfortunately these shortcuts are much more difficult to use than the normal nokia screen (for example, you can't hit left to start a new SMS).

              Is it possible to change this so that when my phone turns on i get the normal nokia standby screen instead of this Orange rubbish? Can anyone help or even tell me they have the same problem?

                          6230i takes pics at 1280x1024.. think that this is the SUPPOSED to be resolution for 3230 right?

                          Anyone in singapore brought the phone to nokia care centre to do the upgrade for the firmware? really hope they can come out with the solutions to the many problems soon..

                              There's no way to turn the beep sound off, could be a software oversight again.

                              To erase all messages in your inbox, go to options, scroll to Mark/Unmark, choose Mark all, click on the 'c' button and delete all.

                              Mark/Unmark enables you to select which messages you want to keep, which you don't.

                                sean,
                                is there a way to turn the beep sound off?

                                btw, how do you delete all the messages in the inbox?
                                i couldn't figure it out, it's not listed in the manual.
                                that's weird because old nokia's phones are able to erase all messages.
