Dwight,

My 6230 as well as my wife's 6230... DOES NOT echo... AT ALL. So does my other friend who uses 6230.

There u have it... 3 units of 6230... zero echo problem.

    Andy,

    Downloading mp3's into the phone is simple:

    Here it is... take out the MMC card, slot it into a Card Reader, drag mp3 files into it. Put the card back into the phone - and play it!

    Another way is by installing PC Suite from NOkia.com to your PC. Manage a connection from your PC to the phone - either by IR, BT or USB cable DKU-2. Search for the phone in Windows Explorer and drag your music there.

    Or you can just use IR or BT to transfer the mp3 file into your phone - but can only be done 1 at a time - and must ensure your phone memory is adequate for the 1 file.

    My take - just go out a buy a CARD READER... it's cheap, fast and hassle free.

    I'm a audiophile too. My 6230 IS my mp3 player too.

      Alot of 6230 users know the phone echos but tend to keep quiete about it or just dont want to admit since they have spent £200 on the phone and as the phone does everying else almost perfectly they trick themselves into thinking its the networks fault which is not a logical theory as the echo effect only happens when using the 6230 and on any network. For example i get no self voice echo with E600, D500, 7210,K500I this doesn't happen with any other phone i have used except for some reason i get quite a substancial echo with a 6230 when speaking in calls which is very annoying when your talking as you can imagine.

      If you have read what I have typed and you are still willing to purchase a 6230, well then my friend good luck to you but you have been informed.

          I love this phone. I got it on contract with Vodafone & had it for about a week then it was stolen (silly me I had no insurance)

          Its a good phone to have though & i recommend this to anyone!

          I now have a Nokia 6100 :(

                            I own a 6230 since december and until now i'm pleased with it, even if i'm a Sony Ericsson fan. Has a lot of features for a phone announced in 2003:
                            -good radio;
                            -vga digital camera 640x480;
                            -mp3 & video player but the memory card is only 32 mb;
                            -bluetooth and infrared
                            Also is nice that it comes with stereo headphones/handsfree and conectivity cable DKU 2 (those are standard)
                            The weak points of this phone are:
                            -the battery goes low very quickly - you must recharge it at 2 days if not daily;
                            -memory card is only 32mb
                            -camera has a poor resolution
                            -you can't assign a tone to a contact, but only to a group
                            -very common phone, almost everybody has it!

                                classy design and colors, less expensive, feature packed phone, drawbacks are the loose back cover and cant creat playlist in the phone for MP3s aside from those i like this phone very much

                                  No OS, camera sucks, the display is small and un-readable...I give it a 7!
                                  Maybe the 6230i it will be better, till than Samsung rules!!!

                                    My phone is 6230 and so far I enjoy using it. Phone with Symbian OS is better than non. I think its like computer, you can easily install and uninstall applications on this phone.

                                    I really don't know its full capabilities but I really think that phone with Symbian OS is better than without.

                                        I bought my 6230 in November 2004 and I have never regretted the decision. 6230 is still wonderful value today and I think it will continue to be desired for years to come. Very few phones have the kind of pedigree 6230 has acquired.
