            u can access only wap based sites thru mobile only. U cannot connect it to PC.There is no data cable for this phone.
            PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that there is no modem in this phone, so u cannot access the web

                      good one for average moblie users. FM is very good. I need some technical advice regarding a problem which I am facing. This is regarding 'Cell information- ON' under the menu 'messaging' The tower name is not displaying at all times. Sometimes it displays then suddenly it will go and displays after 1 or 2 days.If I am moving from one tower to another tower sometimes the tower name will not automatically change. How this is happening? I hope somebody can share their experience regarding this problem. Needless to say Nokia phones are too good for displaying 'cell information'.

                                battery lasts for 2 days using FM for 3hrs per day. After upgrading software in SE J230i loudspeaker volume has increased & is louder than nok6030.FM RECEPTION is EXCELLENT definately better than NOK6030.Fm sound is the best in this phone(IT BEATS ALL THE PHONES IN THIS SEGMENT for FM SOUND CLARITY)Nok6030 is no way near to it.NOK6030 & NOK2310 has worst FM QUALITY

                                  Now I know that this website can be believed:

                                  http://www.amobil.no/intern/mobiltelefoner/talk_time_testing-_for_real/28475/3

                                  According to their study, Nokia 6030 has almost 2 times longer talktime than SE J230s.And maybe you use it more active than your father.
                                  Have you ever used that 6030 and your father SE J230 and how is the battery life? (Just want to know).

                                  And according to you, which one has better radio output?
                                  Thanks for your share.

                                    what you get in you push inbox is alink to get the tune. you have to connect to the Mobile internet (gprs) to download the tune. it all depends on the ringtone sms company.

                                        The phone is gr8. Bought for 3350 INR.

                                        I checked out Motorola C168 and Nokia 6030 along with this.
                                        Nokia was out of consideration coz it was too expensive(3850 INR) and I have had bitter experiences with nokia phones in the past.

                                        Motorola C168 display is very bad. I was considering it only till I took it in my hand and after looking at its cheap display, it was completely out of consideration.

                                        However, there are a few shortcomings/limitations in SE j230i. Ppl wanting to buy this phone might wanna check out..

                                        1. When u press down navigation key to search phonebook and call someone, only 1 character phonebook search is possible. You cannot search names starting with more than one character, i.e. if u press R u go to names starting with R, but u cannot search for names staring with 'RA'.
                                        But u can go to phonebook menu, select "FIND AND CALL" and use multiple characters to search a name.

                                        2. The phone doesnt allow you to select manually where contacts are stored. By default, they are stored in SIM card. When SIM card memory is used up, then they are stored in phone memory.

                                        3. You have only max 13 characters to store name in phonebook.

                                        4. No option to delete all the contacts in SIM card at one go.

                                        5. Difficult to program speed dials.


                                        But overall, these limitations hardly matter, and if you are willing to spend 400-500 rupees more, this phone is much better phone than C168.

                                        Some things I found great in this phone...

                                        1. Very good display.
                                        2. Very good calander.
                                        3. I hardly use radio but it sounds great.
                                        4. Speakerphone volume is very good. Radio sounds very good on speakerphone.
                                        5. Handsfree shipped with the phone is very good.
