My first problem is solved. In the melody + vibrate mode, the cell vibrates for three times before the melody starts.

1. In ringtones, in the sound settings, there are are three modes: Melody, Vibrate and Melody+Vibrate. I can get the first two to work. But Melody+Vibrate is producing only vibrate. Is is the fault with my set or are others also facing this problem.
2. In Phone settings, own no., I have input my cell no. But cannot edit the name. The cursor won't move. Is is the fault with my set or are others also facing this problem.
Kindly check and advice.
Thanks and regards,
Ravindra.

the set is pretty good....light..nice colour..exact size...and badly deserves a camera...but there are no shortcut keys to the inbox which is the most important one..not forgetting the phonebook.the most important thing is that its infrared is of no use and the messaging becomes slower and slower as i keep typing...is there any solution for this?

IR worked for me! I used "Samsung PC Studio II PIMS & File Manger" (older version). New version does not work. Could anybody change the default screen saver?

Prathmesh,
with my pc cable of c230, i am only able to do GRPS.
DO you mean with your cable, you are able to do PIMS and file manager on C230? are you able to upload/download pics and sounds and phonebook download/upload?
let me know.

Hi Bhagyesh,
I agree with you on all the items except the following :
1. i have a pc cable for this phone from samsung and it has 3 ports. one goes to pc, the other to mobile and the third one excepts a battery charger. so no battery drain while you are surfing on pc with this phone.
2. i use this phone connected to pc and surf gprs too very well.

hi to all c230 club.
now that i have used this handset for a substantial period i would like to point on to some of its pro's and con's.
the best part of the phone is its size,looks and a great display resolution. no nokia phone could turn up such a display for around 5000 bucks.
and speaking about fm its more than worth (only when you using it in open spaces and with earphones on).
also you can store multiple nos. for a single identity hence no need to pile up the nos.. this feature is seen only sony ericson phones at such low end. sms and phone book memory is great.
but now over with talking all goodies. the phone really struggles when it comes to operating speed. just have to wait for ages to get the phone unlocked. no shortcut access to phonebook possible hence one has to get into it all the way sequentially. this i really frustating for the ones who are used to with nokia handsets. also no option to copy nos. from phone to sim and vice versa. hence number transfers not possible at all and send to many option for messages is not available.
about the radio; reception quality gets pathetic when travelling and even while stationary you need to adjust the antenna (earphone wire) and the phone position frequently. reception of 93.5 and 93.5 is crystal clear but getting the rest of channels to audibilty is a tremendous task. also the volume on speaker phone mode is not that great and to swap through channels you have to use the handset only, not possible by the mic button.
the charger port cover feels too delicate and the body plastic doesnt make a great fit and crackles when pressing on to the bottom keys.
as the usb port and charger port is same, you cannot remain connected to a pc beyond the battery life.
ir port doesnt work but i have no regrets as samsung didnt boast about it anyway. what remains to be seen is the gprs on pc mode. no yet possible as being a new model usb cable and software not available yet even with samsung. i hope with gprs class 10 should be working as good as the nokia high end models.
overall i recommend n6610 over c230. but the production of n6610 gsm is now stopped and the camera is not worth in the n6610i version .

I got C230 from authorised dealer in Ludhiana, Punjab, India. IR was not Working. I checked it with around 4 mobiles & 1 laptop. Reported the problems to Samsung Customer Service Plaza, Ludhiana which lacked qualified/trained personnel as well as the software/parts for the model as it is a new launch in India. I filled feedback forms at samsungindia website & mailed to doctorsam@samsungindia.com but to no avail. I just got harassment, waste of petrol/time & a few scratches on the set. The samsung people didn't even know that games start with 'i' switch. FM radio just catches 1 station whereas normal radios catch around 5. HIGHLY DISSATISFIED

Hey guys,
If you need to access internet on your pc or connect with the PIMS & file manager through this c230 handset you can use any of this following model usb data cables all are suitable for the c 230
The cables are
SGH v200, S300, X430, D410, E600, C200s, C200N, N700
I am currently using D410 cable and it is working fine (good data speed and no problems) GPRS connection is airtel.
You can get this cables either in samsung main service center (cost Rs. 900) or in market(cheap)
Its really good hand set for the internet,stero FM and of course small and sexy look.
