Hi there,
I am planing to buy this great phone.
But there is something I have noticed, if you look at the phone pictures in the site http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_3230-pictures-923.php
you will see that in the upper photo the upper buttones of the mobile are black, if you scroll down to the next photos you will see the the upper buttones of the mobile are silver.
So I am confused... are there two models or what?
I know there is Black and Red, but I don't know about the upper buttones' color..
Plz if you have the phone, tell me what is the color of it's upper buttones...
Thanks guys

Surely the proportionality problem can be fixed with an update? If not I'm gonna be very angry!

Yups, the firmware version, as of today, 6 April 2005, is the same as mentioned.
I hope the unproportionality quality of the pictures is due to a software oversight (which can be resolved by a firmware upgrade) rather than a hardware defect. If its the latter, I doubt we early adopters can demand for a fix. "Picture quality inherent in different production batch" might be Nokia Care's response and we'll be stuck big time.
In the meantime, those with access to freewarre/cracked symbian applications can consider installing other 3rd party camera applications and use them to take pictures. Update us on the quality.
The reception of the FM radio is very good, Visual Radio should be up and running in the middle half of the year. BroadcastAsia 2005 in June/July thereabouts will see the introduction of Visual Radio in our region.
I'm using a 512mb RS-MMC and it works fine on my set.

i see. actually i wanted to buy nokia6630 but it's using DV mmc. and in singapore now max is only 128 mb. i need at least 256 . 3230 can support normal rs mmc. nvm it's ok . just that got a few bugs i find it uneasy to use. like the camera and the silent mode. i think nokia should fix the problem asap lor. thanks for your advise. why can't we save our message in memory card ? all other symbian phone i've seen can save messages in memory card .

To Superman,
The MP3 on the 3230 is MONO..Mono doesnt mean that it should be heard thru just one earpiece..If u want to see the differance try listening to the FM Radio it is Stereo, u will notice the differance in quality with the MP3..the FM Radio sounds far better..
Nokias with Stereo MP3 are Nokia 6630 & 6230..

I am happy people are reporting the bugs, I am sure Nokia will do something abt them..After havin the 6230 for more than a yr now & seein the firmware upgrades they brought on it, I am optimistic..
3230 is a great lookin mobile, only if it had the Stereo Mp3 it would have made the Perfect Mobile..I feel as of now only the Nokia 6630 is the better Symbian Series 60 than this one..But 3230 looks a hell of lot better than the 6630..The new ones comin up ie 6680 & 6681 though have better features & the all important Stereo Mp3 are no match in the looks Dept with the 3230..

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!!!
Anymore bugs pls feel free to add on. (copy n paste)

First thing you gotta try on this phone is the video recorder. It's so laggy, just like the old 6600. Guess Nokia didn't upgrade it. Try the 6630's video recorder. It's much better and hence they are at the same price.

you'll only encounter the resizing issue when you set the quality to high, which resolution is 1280x960, in basic it is in 640x480 hence the pictures are proportionate

Played with it some more, the camera is great, I ahven't noticed the re-sizing issue, and the colours are far better than the 7610.

I have the new Nokia 3230, I was very nervous about getting a new phone as I really loved my old 7650, which I still feel holds it's own in today's market. But I must say, the 3230 is excellent.
The screen is amazing, the buttons are fine, people complaining about them, but I don;'t know why. Any questions, ask away!
