Yeah what OJ said is right. A couple times that happened to my 6230 and I was going to format the MMC when I first think to restart the phone. In that way my MMC content restored again and the second time I needed to remove and put again the MMC. Anyway this is an excellent phone.
P.D: My mom bought last saturday a 6230i for a bargain price (55 U$D) new! so now I have 6230 and its succesor available. Both are great

To ZEESHAN & DANI:
At times the memory card may seem corrupt but it isn't. What you can do first is take out the memory card, switch the phone back and then check the gallery to see if everything is back to normal. If everything is back to normal then you need to keep reinserting the memory card until it works properly again. More than likely the Gallery will return to normal after you take out the CARD and switch the phone back on. However, if memory card doesn't work properly again after reinserting it then refer to my suggestions below.
Whenever this memory card mystery happened to me I would turn the phone off, take out the memory card and re-insert it. Sometimes I would have to repeat the process a few times but it eventually came back to normal. Sometimes you have the reinsert it quite a few times before it registers correctly again. You can also take out the battery while the phone is on to give it a quick a perk then reinsert the memory card.
If reinserting it a few times doesn't work. Take out the battery, SIM and memory card and leave them out for about an hour or more. Doing this resets the phone's software.
DO NOT FORMAT THE MEMORY CARD unless none of the above suggestion works. ONLY FORMAT THE MEMORY CARD AS A LAST RESORT.

To ANIE:
MMC = Multimedia Memory Card
If you are having trouble getting your 512MB card to work then the problem is with the brand.
There are some known issues with some manufacturer's memory cards not working at all as well as some capacity from a manufacturer working fine and other capcity from the same manufacturer working fine. For example, it was said that Kingston 128MB worked fine yet Kingston's 256MB didn't work fine. In the case with Kingston, that may have been to the limitation on the first firmware release for 6230 which was 3.15. I'm sure all of this was resolved with the later firmwares and now every capacity up to 2GB should work fine PROVIDING you have a later firmware.
In my experience with MMCs brands like A-Data (512MB), Kingston (1GB) and Super Talent (256MB)worked fine. More than likely higher capacity cards from these said brands will work perfectly too. These capacity cards worked fine on firmware 5.24 which is what my phone has.
ANIE, if you are going to buy a MMC for your 6230 these days make sure it's a MMC Plus! and not the regular MMCs as the standard MMCs are much slower. MMC Plus! have a much faster read/write data transfer rate so navigating and opening stuff on your memory card will be much quicker.
You can check Howardforums, as well as others, for a list of compatibily memory cards.
Most of these lists are from 2004 but you can use it as a cross reference and also read what users had to say about their 1GB cards etc.
Hope you found my post very informative. Take care and good luck with your mobile endeavours.

To ALEX DJG:
You are WRONG. The MMC limit is 2GB. I had a 1GB MMC Plus! which worked perfectly with my 6230 until the day I sold it. If you are going to be using high capacity memory cards such as 1GB or 2GB it's best to upgrade to the later firmwares as the older firmwares will register the total capacity as less Firmwares lower than 5.24 normally sees a 1GB as 80MB but you can still store more than 80MB worth of stuff on it.
The bottomline is that a 1GB will still work with those older firmwares. Old in my book is 4.40, 4.28 and anything lower. Overall 5.24 was the very best firmware. It made the phone move faster, the VGA photos looked really clear (more like Megapixel photos) and everything in the phone ran smootly.
Best of all, when you put a 1GB MMC in a 6230 with 5.24, it was registered as 1GB (990.2MB due to formatting) and there were no problems getting the memory card to work.

to meanbean:
What do you mean for you continuous mp3 playing?? if you talk about playing lots of music hits phone is capable to do it. You would never have problems with that. About the e-books reader I don´t think there is some available for this phone. Mainly because those programs are some heavy and this phone accept only java programs up to 128kb each. But is a great phone. 2 years with it and still working

The 6230 is a top phone and forever will be.
I have never kept a phone as long as I have kept the 6230 and it was worth it. I now have 6300 and even though it's enhanced in the multimedia areas, in the long run I find the 6230 more entertaining and fulfilling, strange but true. Regardless, the 6300 is the best replacement in my view. I see it as being a polished 6230 in a slimmer body with less battery life due to the very high quality 16.7 million colour screen.

The best phone I have ever owned. The only 2 replacements for this phone could be 6230i and 6300. There are no phones faster stronger than this one.
To Anie: Yes, the phone's limit is just 512 mb.. That's really a pity. I was ready to buy a 2Giga card when the seller asked me at the end, what is the model of my phone. When he heard that it's the regular 6230 he reminded that the phone doesn't support cards higher than 512 mega.
By now I own 3 phones: 6230, E1000 and k1m but the main one that I use is still 6230

To jamir:
No you can´t play mp4 or any other video files only 3gp. But if you aren´t satisfied with 3gp quality this phone can play very high quality 3gp videos without run them slow or anything wrong. I can recommend you a very good video converter for FREE: Apex free 3gp video converter. In this you can convert 3gp files up to 30fps. Note: in the settings only be sure to put the size of he video in 176*144 and with amr sound (this phone doesn´t play 3gp videos with aac sound)
