Amazon.com Product Description

With Bluetooth, expandable MultiMediaCard memory, an FM radio, and support for EDGE high speed data, streaming video and video recording, the Nokia 6230 is a svelte powerhouse. For mobile Internet users and those who crave high end features, this phone delivers all the goodies in a tidy, unassuming package.

Design

Click the image to get a closer look at the 6230's features.

At first glance, the 6230 looks like just another candybar phone from Nokia. Looks can be deceiving, though, as this phone packs a lot under the hood. The large 128 x 128 pixels TFT color display dominates the front of the phone and a five-way button just below it controls most of the phone's menus and features. The phone's 8 MB internal memory can be expanded using the MMC card slot located in the battery compartment (the phone ships with a 32MB card). Charging and data ports are placed on the phone's bottom edge. The 6230 uses an internal antenna-- nothing to snag or break off. The VGA camera unit is housed on the back of the phone. Up/down volume keys are located on the left side. Finally, Nokia provides optional changeable faceplates for the 6230.

Calling Features
The 6230 boasts some powerful calling functions that make it a perfect part of a mobile office. A speakerphone makes it easy to converse without touching the handset-- a big plus for car users. Enhanced voice dialing supports voice controlled dialing of up to 25 contacts. There are also 16 built-in voice commands for controlling the phone's menus. Because the 6230 is Bluetooth enabled, wireless headsets can be configured with the phone for total handsfree operation. The phone supports Cingular's "Fast Forward" call forwarding device, which enables you to effortlessly forward your wireless calls to your land line phone.

The 6230's internal and expandable flash memory can be used to hold up to 1000 contacts for quick access to email addresses and phone numbers. The phone lets you easily assign pictures to your most common callers. In addition to vibrating alerts, the phone supports polyphonic ringtones as well as MP3 ringers, allowing you to use portions of your favorite songs to alert you to incoming calls. Ringtones and pictures can be assigned to various incoming callers. Twenty-four ringtones come preloaded on the phone and more ringtones can be downloaded from Cingular's MEdia wireless web service.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 6230 is a top contender in the messaging and wireless Internet arena. Support is built in for sending and receiving pictures, text, graphics, sound and video via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in still and video camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. The phone ships with a built-in email client with POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols support (Cingular messaging charges apply). There's also a built-in web browser for MEdia downloads and mobile web browsing. Cingular's MEdia service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more. T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the 6230. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the new, high speed EDGE data protocol. When used with a Cingular data plan and the phone's Bluetooth or USB data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs.

A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 6230 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with unit and currency converters, a calendar with monthly views, a to-do list with priority levels, and an alarm clock with snooze. Via download on its Web site, Nokia offers a free application called PC Suite that facilitates easy synchronization of contacts, calendar events and other data between the phone and your PC. Synchronization is possible using Bluetooth or a USB data cable.

Imaging and Entertainment
Because the 6230 shines in the entertainment department. The phone's VGA camera can capture stills and video, both of which can be sent to your friends via MMS messaging or email, or to your PC via USB or Bluetooth. An included image-editing application lets you modify the pictures you take before you send them. Three minutes of video capture is possible with the 6230 as is streaming video, so long as you have a data service that supplies video content. With an optional stereo headset, you can listen to tunes on the phone's built-in FM radio or to MP3 or AAC audio files stored on a memory card. The phone also supports custom themes and wallpapers.

Java support is built into the 6230, making it a powerful gaming companion for both online and offline games. The phone ships with two games, Beach Rally II, Golf. Multiplayer gaming via Bluetooth is supported and more games are available via the Cingular MEdia service.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 6230 weighs 3.42 ounces and measures 4.06 x 1.73 x 0.79 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of digital talk time, and up to 9.4 days of digital standby time. It runs on the 800/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS frequencies. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:

Best cell Phone.......2007-02-19

I am so happy with easy menu, small size, camera and mp3 playback features. Free software from Nokia enables me to painlessly sync PIM (Contacts, emails, calender, notes etc) with the outlook. This feature has rendered my Sony clie useless. Excellent batttery life and clear range. It also works very easily with my blue tooth headset

Great phone,but hold off if you want rebates from Amazon.......2007-01-09

The phone is amazing with calls and fits my needs right away! The bluetooth works flawlessly and am able to put on 2k-3k minutes without a hitch. It has a good 24 hrs standby and talktime of 3 hours. Best of all the voice clarity is amazing.

But, Amazon customer service is the worst I ve ever dealt with. They do not follow up on rebates and it took me 1.5 years to get my rebates through. They do not identify loyal customers ( I bought another phone earlier,muscled a rebate after 8 months!!),they make you wait for prohibitive times,the CSRs do not sympathize with you ( one of my calls was replied with a tone of "Not my (**) problem bro!"). Every CSR call was followed up with an email,which has no case id, no CSR's email, the action taken or anything of that sort..you can easily Mark as spam and flush it down the toilet!.
On top of losing my rebates submission ,they ask what the problem is every single time and they dont have any intelligent way of tracking down the previous conversations ( atleast they did not bother to refer to it). Guess what? I m switching!

Bottom line:This is a great phone, pretty much capable of everything you want in a rugged trustworthy phone. You have better sites on the internet that sell for cheap.

So close, yet so far - all the perks I paid for - not usable.......2006-11-21

First, I had more dropped calls in my first 5 days of service with Cingular than 6 full YEARS with Sprint so I'm not thrilled. Second, this phone has been replaced 2X (within the first month) and now at 18 months (I'm ALMOST DONE WITH MY CONTRACT) it has seized up and died. It holds a charge, but the buttons don't work. Yes, it's been cleaned, etc. The real issue is this phone is not made to last more than 12 months.

As much as I dislike Cingular now, I think the real reason I have had so many dropped calls is this phone. Even with FULL bars for service I'll get dropped calls or "network is busy."

The camera is acceptable, my upgraded memory card would hold music if I added it, but who gives a rip, the damn thing doesn't work as a PHONE! I gave up on the perks I had so dearly wanted because I struggle to hear folks on this phone. I struggle to make calls on this phone and worst of all I struggle to get reception with this phone.

Are you in a major city or on a major highway (US interstate 35, 45, 20 or 40 for example) - DON'T EXPECT RECEPTION. Seriously. Plan to hike if you run out of gas or have car trouble. One thing I promise, this phone will have no reception.

Excellent phone all the way.......2006-06-07

I purchased my 6230 throught wirefly for $0.00 w/Cingular plan. Never a problem with dropped calls , mmc, sim card , ect. Voice clarity well above average. mp3 works great. No background noise and the speaker phone is a must .Would definately reccommend.
The cons a lil hard getting used to the center button mass control as it is sensitive. Problem solved by Krusell case. No regrets. If this were a flip phone it could not be beat.

I year.......2006-05-06

I've had this phone for a year

Most of the gripes people have here about the phone (no zoom, camera clarity sucks, speakerphone not loud enough, navi pad sucks, etc)has been resolved with the 6230i.

I bought my gf the 6230i and she hasn't had any problems with it

I love my phone. It only locks up when I'm using my bluetooth on occassion. I put an EP Memory 512MB card in there, loaded it with about 100+ songs and I'm good to go. I play it at work or when I'm just walking around (using the headphones).

I use the calendar a lot for appointments and bday reminders since it's always with me so i never forget

my firmware version is 4.43

best phone ever. the screen is kinda small but then again, i don't really need a big screen. i tested it out for the internet and it worked fine.
