Amazing little phone has a tonne of features, everything you need unless your into 3G. Hate 3G phones to big and bulky and weigh your pocket down.
Battery life is good, charge it every 4 to 5 days, and I like messing with camera which is top notch and transferring stuff to the computer, mp3 in it is great too.
A superb handset.

hey Pani, before u get all too excited (which is natural for such a great phone like 6230i), just don't forget, 6230i is a, well, basically, a cellphone... not a Smartphone. it's a different playing field. so, 6230i has limited capabilities - which you gotta know and accept, in order to be able to fully appreciate it.

How is the battery life - mind very poor, I charged mind for the required 16 hours before using and have recharged since, I am getting about two and half days out of it and talk time is probably in the range of 30min.

Hi mozza
I agree totaly about the ascending ringing tone. When it is set to volume 5, it affects the message tone as well, puts it to volume 3 when you receive a message (try it out) Your right about what nokia said as well, which is pathetic. Who has there mobile attached to there ear all day long....?? Nokia need to sort this out, fast! read my comment below yours, a message to nokia, well funny

Had the phone this week and impressed other than the extremely low ringing tone.I have it set on volume level 5 (maximum) and incoming call alert "Ringing", yet it is very very quite and also ascending? I spoke to a Nokia rep yesterday and he advised me that this is a safety feature to prevent damaging your ears, if you had the phone by your ear when it rang!! When would that be, I asked, he said perhaps if you sleep with it on your pillow!! Does anybody really do this?? Any advice please. Can I over ride this? Thanx.

Thanks Phil! nice one
James
P.S Nokia!! sort the ascending ringing tone out!! it affects our message tone as well!! in future, you should have an option that says 'annoying ascending ringing tone - on or off?'

I was using a 6230 and sold it recently. For me its back to basics. Tried the 6230i for a weeek and its terribly slow even with Ver 3.30 software. Then I tried the 6681 also for a week. This phone will not record some calls in the Received or Missed list and its way too heavy and bulky. Cant carry such a big phone. No doubt the clarity of screen, sound and Signal reception is outstanding in the 6681 than 6680. Believe it I also got to try a K750i. The main problem is screen cant be seen when we are in sunlight and Sony haven't got the signal reception better even in this phone. Poor signal areas it says only Emergency Calls. and the screen is extremely light with all type of profiles and no wall paper. So I decided to buy the 6230 again.

Oh, the K750i can synch with Outlook. Well then, assuming $$ is no object, it's probably a better deal than 6230i. In fact, W800, with it's adapter for 3.5mm headphone, it's a huge selling point, in comparison to 6230i. I'd recommend those 2 phones, based on features, anytime. But for myself, who already owns a great phone like 6230i, i'm not tempted with either of the phones. SE has to work harder to get me to dump my precious 6230i. for now, i have my sights for Nokia 6270 and 6280 :-)

for folks wanting to play video clips on their 6230i here's some info.
The phone will not play an mpeg file. that is a file with .MPG or .MP4 or .MPEG extension. Won't play .AVI or realmedia .RM either.
It will happily play .3GP video clips encoded using the latest mpeg4 video codec.
As for FF/RW... only when playing music, not for video. The K750i does FF/RW for music AND video.

NokiaMia:
the K750i CAN be synchronised with Outlook, 2000 SR-1 or later, using the sync-station software it comes with.
I still love my 6230i but it's pretty hard to find fault with the K750i.

to Dave,
6230i or SE K750? Definitely 6230i for me, coz K750 can't be synchronized with Microsoft Outlook. Furthermore, the K750 is more expensive than 6230i.
But if you ask me between 6230i and SE W800? Assuming $$ is no object, i'd go for W800. But once Nokia 6270 or 6280 hits the market, i'll garbish out the W800 coz there's something about Nokia that makes anyone who has a Nokia before, feel 'something' is missing when using other brand of phone...

James, Phil, my phone runs on a 512Mb Apacer RS-MMC (with adapter, of course). So far, other than 3GPP VIDEO files via Media Player making my phone hang once in a while, I don't see any other 'performance' problems.
I use DKU-2 to transfer huge mp3 files via USB. it's not as fast as a "Memory Card" reader, but at least I don't have to turn off the phone.

MEDIAPLAYER having a FF/RR features? That's not true. I can only see Play/Pause/Stop. But the MUSIC PLAYER has "Previous" & "Next" feature for mp3.
I agree with you on the RINGING tone issue: it would have been nice if they made it an option.
I'm using a 512Mb RS-MMC - don't worry, it works just the same. Make sure it's a good quality card, with high reading speed.
Gee, the mp4 format is still a mystery to me. I tried that once but can't get it to work. Could you email to me the file so that i can try it on my 6230i?
take care!
