Iam asking my dad for a new mobilephone like 3300 or n-gage. but my dad was neglecting it. when I got agood rank in my ssc my asked me what I want iasked the mobile. my dad doesnt mind those words. after amonth my dad went to london and in the return he bought anokia 6230i for me as asurprise gift. iam very excited when I saw that phone. that is a little bit coster than my dad`s 6600. but he gave appricieting my performance in the exams. up to here I found it very nice and igot bored with a mobile anyone can get. my uncle bought the same nokia 6230i in chennai in march of this year.i have compared my and my uncle`s phone. both r very different in thier function. very differently box packed and the different softwares give. as my phone is six months older than my uncle`s phone I has got the new version of pc suite ver.6.7 my uncle bought just two months before but he got ver.6.5. my european piece got the high volume of ringtone and high brightness. the quality of the covers also differed between them. but the cost is 4k greater than the european piece. idad bought that phone for just 10k but my uncle bought that for nearly 14k. why the indians r given the second quality good and cost is much greater than the europeans. atlast the indian nokia 6230i is not worth of even 10k. there is adifference in the quality of pictures taken also. but the common defect of nokia 6230i is skipping in music tracks. I does n`t recommend buying nokia 6230i in india. it has many defects like low ringing, low vibrations, automatic change of ring tones when u switchoff. but if bought it from abroad that was a real pleasure with that phone.
