hello,this phone cannot play .wav file. but u can alway convert it to .amr to play on the phone.

yes, the sound quality is very good. i didnt use the k700i so i cant compare.

one problem is when playing a file in media player(not music player) the light will remain on thruout the playing. i hope they can correct this is future fw update as this will help save some battery power.

        Hi Blade,

        Read your email dated 27/09/2005 inregards to converting avi to 3gp so as you can watch movies on your phone, it was a great help, converted 2 mins of "Fat Pizza the Movie". I found the "imtoo3gp" software on the net the only problem is that it will only let me convert 2 minutes of movie unless you buy the regerstration. Would you know how I could get a fully working version free?

        Thanks heaps

          Hi NokiaMia,

          I read your reviews very carefully over the year and I have read all the other comments about 6230i as well, I have finalized for 6230i upto 95% (It beats all Nokias hands down) inspite of N91s 6681s ... and others..., simply because it packs in the maximum features possible. But the only thing which was not discussed in the complete 1 year and above reviews is -

          How does the 6230i perform in terms of its Class 10 GPRS-EDGE as compared to Class 6 GPRS-EDGE of say Nokia 7260. I searched all the internet but not a place where I could find the benchmark of Nokia's EDGE Download performance which is the actual download speed available to a person when he connects to the internet through 6230i. What is the actual download speed available to a user when he downloads say a 5 MB file from the internet.

            when u plug in the data cable,if u wish to access phone memory using the nokia pc suite, then when the phone screen says "use phone as data storage device?" u must choose 'reject', so that nokia pc suite can connect to the phone to show 'Nokia 6230i connected via USB', then u can use it to see the phone memory.(C: drive). at least thats how it works for my case.

                  Someone said they have a lot of pics and the phone slows down when opening files. well the answer is to devide eache folder up to subfolders, like windows, this then allows quicker opening of a file containing lots of pics,as each pic is not opened to produce the little preveiw pic.

                  Always a good idea to catagorise your pics anyways, as can save embarrasment...lol...something for you to do on the bus to work, you'll see how much quicker each folder will open.

                    NokiaMia, today (September 28 2005) I formatted my MMC . Originally when I got the phone it had some multimedia stuff on it (video clips) and the phone stated that the card has a totally capacity of 30.3MB, after formatting it reported 30.5 which still isn't good. This is supposed to be a 32MB memory card so you get the feeling that the phone has stolen 2MB from it.
                    My question to you is, is the 6230i the same ? Does it state less than the actually amount ? I'm hoping it gives more.
                    At first I thought that this 'Less-Than-What-You=Are-Supposed-To-Get' thing only applied to Windows PC due to it's file system. I guess cell phones has adapted this bad habit as well.
                    Please shed some light on the 6230i's file system habits. I appreciate your input as always. Take care.

                      Can anyone tell me how I save a tone to the message file on my 6230i so I can use it when a msg comes in? I can only seem to save it to the ringtone file.

                              Can any one tell me why when I change the wallpaper and turn off the mobile and on again I loses my wallpaper and it returns again to the default one! Is that normal for 6230i?!

                                Cheers James. What do you think of the volume. I have it set on level 5 - not ascending, but it still ascends. (Apparantly a safety feature?) I was going to swap it but the fact the vibration is okay means i'll probably keep it. Would like it louder though.

                                    Hi Mozza

                                    The 'Outdoor' profile is exactly the same as any other profile, all 'Outdoor' is, is the name of it, it does'nt affect anything within the profile whatsoever.

                                    The volumes or settings should not be any different on 'Outdoor' than any other profile. The only thing that is different is the name, which can be changed

                                    I hope this helps

                                    James

                                      I'm still struggling with the volume? Can anyone tell me if having it set on outdoors is supposed to make it louder?

                                      Thanx.

                                        I loved the phone, initially. Now I can't wait to get rid of it.
                                        I have had 3 brand new handsets, straight from the box, the 3rd has beens sent to technicians 3 times, once reprogrammed, once internals replace and last time returned untouched.
                                        The same sms messaging fault each time. In the middle of sending a text message, while using the predictor text, most messages quite long, it just freezes up and shuts down. The keypad isn't responsive and it can take a minute to start up again and what I love about a Nokia is that even if you exit from typing a text, it'll still be there, not with this fault however.
                                        Its all gone, this has happened with every new handset and about every second time I send a text. Very frustrating, to the point where I am now leaving Nokia for the first time in 6 years. Very dissapointed that it hasn't been fixed as everything else with the phone is sweet.
