Nokia 3230 review: Smartphone for the masses

19 March 2005
Nokia 3230 is basically the first smartphone, which could be considered a middle class one. Nevertheless, it has pretty rich functional equipment: it supports EDGE, Bluetooth, Push to talk and has megapixel camera and radio.

      anthony, 09 Mar 2010hi guys... i have a problem with my 3230.. while i was play... moreJust factory reset the phone. I don't know if it works in this model; Press the "3", "Asterisk", "end key" and "the power button" BEFORE the phone says "NOKIA". But this will wipe your PHONE MEMORY. I recommend to put your stuff onto the memory card before doing this procedure.

                I just bought this phone. It feels really solid. The sound is not really good but it does not bother me. I like the display size.

                  In the 3230 we cant change the message memory from phone memory to memory card. So we cant recieve file higher than 4.9 mb.

                          I have had the 3230 for 2 years now, and it has been the best phone I've ever had. It is the first phone that I haven't rushed out to replace as soon as its contract expired. It's cheap, it's tough (I drop it all the time), it's reliable (has only frozen 2 times), its easy to use, it has a huge screen but still fits in my jeans pocket, I have used it all over the world without a glitch, synching the contacts and calendar with my PDA and PC is a piece of cake, and there are thousands of cool little application that run without a hitch. I love it.

                              I HAVE A MOBILE PHONE : NOKIA 3230. I bought Nokia 3230 in July 2007.

                              In the first two days itself, it gave me a saftware problem and needed to be replaced.

                              Barely one month had elapsed since I got the exchanged model when I faced a problem with the screen display (the screen became blank).

                              After one hour of waiting, I got to speak to the customer care executive. He told me that there is some hardware problem and I will need to leave the phone for atleast 12-15 days. Moreover, they didn't even take my phone that day itself but told me to come again next day (and go through the whole waiting period again) to submit my phone.

                              So I was forced to part with my phone for atleast 2 weeks without even being provided with a temporary replacement.
                              MY PHONE CAN'T BE STARTED. JUST SEEN NOKIA. THE SCREEN IS WHITE.
                              BUT NO DISPLAY SEEN.

                                Very good phone. And the software installing capacity makes it one of the best. I fells solidly build. It's wait gives its prestige. Black looks brilliant.
