Nokia 6230 is a new generation phone built in Series 40 platform. Company tried to include everything in a small phone. While serching for my 11th handset with advanced capabilities I took the phone for its EDGE, Bluetooth and MP3 features.
Without mentioning the features and specifications ( usually available in companys website) let me look at the utility part of it.
Nokia 6230 comes with few standard color solutions (Graphite, Pearl White).The phone has 24 chord polyphonic ring tones. In 6230 the missed calls and their amount are shown in the separate window with white background. The phone’s weight in standard package without memory card is 95 grams (the manufacturer claims that it is 97 grams). For the stand by screen screensaver presented in the look of digital clock is interesting. The phone uses Li-Ion battery with 850mAh capacity (BL-5C). According to the manufacturers announcement, the phone can work for 4.5 hours during your talks, and up to 200 hours in the stand by mode. I experienced fairly good reason to be satisfied with it. Games, organizer, rado, music, Infrared and bluetooth are some of the reasons to satisfy any utility oriented consumer. Inbuilt mp3 player and camera are too good in terms of clarity. With nokia HS-4 bluetooth headset my driving became a pleasure after nokia 6230. One of the most satisfying feature is its capability to hold 3gp movies. Placing right MMC card one can even watch a complete movie.
Only awkward feature is MMC card slot. It is located under the battery and you need to switchoff and change replace the card. 6230 comes with extremely gentle look and may not be a good choice for those hunting for a trendy look.
The cute talking machine is with me for last 2 years and I am not planning a replacement now.
