Hi guys, My friend has got this mobile. Just unsatisfactory!!! Tooooooo slow and sometimes the phone hangs out. If Nokia does not consider this, then they would be out of market. I think you had a better option of Samsung and sony ericson. Sony ericson has sum problems like softwares hangs out in every model. they are only conscious about their ring tone quality. So i think samsung is the best. Nokia is somewaht boring phone. They should made it interesting

Alrighty...I just got a 3230 after reading the reviews and specs. It seems like a fantastic phone and I got it for a fantastic price ($240USD brand new). I will keep everyone posted on my experience with the phone.

well this phone has a problem with its battery life. when used together with its memory card, the battery tends to drain faster than without the memory card. sigh...

To agasi,
Viking MP3 player does not have any issues in my 3230. However I still prefer WMA Plus 1.2 It allows to play .wma (windows media audio) files. WMA files can be compressed to 1/5th of the size of a MP3. The quality diminishes but since the 3230 speaker is small hence it makes no difference. I do have some .mp3 songs also. Reducing the size to .wma is good because 1 MP3 file needs 6 MB encoded at 128kbps or higher. But a 32kbps .wma file needs only 1 to 1.2 MB. Hence a 512 MB RSMMC Card can hold close to 470-480 .wma songs !!! The idea is to listen to music. For quality music you have your music system. Usually I have a good collection of soft songs which are melodious. Besides 3230's mono speaker produces soft sound because it kills high shrill treble sound found in 6680/6681/N70 etc) and because its speaker cannot play high frequency treble. This makes listening to soft melodious songs even more enjoyable on the 3230. Nokia may have thought that it is giving less in this phone, but you got it wrong Nokia. It's really great. I feel reluctant to exchange my 3230 for a higher end Nokia. I may buy a higher end Nokia later when their prices come down to "actual and real" prices, but certainly I am not going to give my 3230's soft sounds and multi function features and great color / saturation / brightness ratio eben in 65K colours.
For Camera softwares, if you install any other camera softwares then the original Nokia camera application ceases to function. Hence I removed all of such camera applitions. I use Photorite SP 5.2.2 which functions without any problem in the 3230. It has 8x zoom also and some funny lenses and mirrors effects which is really great. It lets the nokia default camera application also work simultaneously. Which is how it should be.
Installation of too many softwares sometimes leave default Nokia applications inactivated, which is not recommended because the default Nokia apps are meant to do their tasks perfectly. So if you find some default Nokia apps stop functioning, then immediately remove those apps.
I like that people are going in for this phone by reading these reviews. It's money well spent which is what matters most, but only if you know how to handle a smart phone, okay?
