Nokia 6233 review: Discreet business tool

26 July 2006
A medium-sized candybar with a lot of nerves, Nokia 6233 is one of the current Nokia handsets that might interest you in case you are looking for non-smartphone 3G solution. What is more, the classic styled mobile offers a great TFT display, great stereo speakers, microSD card slot, and a 2 megapixel camera capable of capturing video in the exciting VGA resolution, just to name a few.

    I have one and have had it for 3 months now. I work in carphone warehouse and have sold many of these to satisfied customers. These are one of the best nokia phones on the market!!! They dont have lots of features you wont use, it is perfect for the average business people!!!!

      I have 6234 and i think it looks better than 6233. It's a great phone and it's very cheap in ROMANIA,cheaper than 6233. I think that this two phones are an alternative from smartphones.

          Can I ask why people are complaining anout ONLY having 500 entries available in the phone book? There are also several different fields available under each of those 500 entries to store different contacts... seriously how many do you need? If you have 1000 business contacts I seriously hope you dont rely on a mobile phone as the sole storage device for those precious numbers!

            camera LED flash
            FM radio should have RDS support
            Side buttons should be soft to press like the nokia 6230i.Please also let see clearly where the fons a made its very important because i like Nokia finland fons very much no matter the cost.

              Can anyone please tell me what is the maximum download speed of 6233 if I use it as a modem? My 6021 downloads sometimes at a speed of 5 kbps? With 3g, I hope it will be several times more?

                  The 6233 phone is just great !! Very good picture quality overall, the stereo speakers give very good sound quality, the usabilty is fantastic, fast and intuitive.
                  I loved my 6030 and now if you try this one, you will adopt it, just try it and you will see !!!!

                    I've just got rid of my K610i for this phone am I'm very pleased. This is one of the nicest phones I have used in a very long time. My only complaint is the test message alert is not very load at all - when choosing and previewing the alert it's quite load, but when I receive a sms it's very quite.

                      I am a phone freak. I am not a normal person to say st least. :) within 2 years , i have tried 40 phones from entry level to high end model, from different brands, from one liner to fliptype, to s60 os, to s40 os ist gen, to razr to slvr, to ultra thin os samsung....etc. i m a consumer not phone tester. When i get the 6233 nokia, i hoping it would not last for a week, but wrong , because of the friendliness in interface , cool in interface , sms handling, file handling....its the best phone yet. its my pinion.

                        nokia 6233 the only drawback in this set is tht its internal memory is very low ie only 6mb ofcourse u can get a memory card of high memory but still internal memory should be atleast 20mb. but it got a 2 MP camera which is good as compared in price

                            I really like this phone!!! K610 is no match for it, 6280 is too big in my opinion. I'm going to buy one next week!

                                hmmm.. this is not a good upgrade for a 6230i, rather i'll go for 6280, it's limitations in graphic themes is a major drawback for me. for me, needing a OS like customizable themes is important.. which i can see with SE phones..

                                BTW. K610 has a potentian of battling this coz it's 3g too and has cif front camera.. but mediocre video.. anyway it has no radio,edge but you can substitute radio when buying w900 headset...edge is mediocre too when compared to 3G... so it's just same in features.. another is that 6233 interface is a smartphone like UI but offers limited java jsr profiles,and UI options in compardison to K610,.. but anyway again, it's just an opinion. hehe!
