I got the Nokia 3230 !!!My mini review

good luck with your new phone....

I have a???

when you play mp3's through the headset, is the sound quality mono or stereo??

thank you.

Congrats on ur purchase! 😊

I have a question, can you download SPMark04 from www.futuremark.com and install it on your phone, and let us know what the CPU Speed of the 3230 is?
I believe everyone is keen to know the answer to that!

Here is the CPU Speeds of other Symbian Phones:
6600/3650/N-Gage = 104Mhz
7610/6670/6260 = 123Mhz
6630/6680/6681 = 220Mhz

I certainly hope its more than 104Mhz! :S
Thnx in advance! 😊

Im the other guy 😉
Wow... so its the same speed as the 7610/6670!
Thnx buddy!

Ok i take it that u have used the phone for afew days... how is it? Any comments on it good or bad? The camera quality is bad compared to the 7610, what do u think?

And more importantly, how is the battery life? Technically speaking the battery on the 323o is 760mAH, which is much lower than the 7610/6670/6630, those have 900mAH! So how long with average usage do you charge ur phone?

Nice looking phone. Im waiting for it to become available. Im buying the 3230 over the 6630. Just wondering if realplayer on the 3230 can play full screen? I read that the 3230 will play 15-20 frames a second like the 6630 can. Anyone know if its powerfull enouph to play at these frame rates?

Cheers

Seeing as the 3230 is almost identical in both hardware and software to the 7610/6670, then playback of media will be comparable.

Just a side note, the 6630 can play full screen video at 25fps, and if compressed correctly, then smooth 30fps playback is possible with Smartmovie 😉

Real player does not play full screen ,you need to put pv player,and the camera quality is similar to that of the 7610,its a 7610 with radio and infrared with a little 6600 characteristics...its a very good phone and i also have the 6630 so believe me for the price its a good value for money

Hi,

If your 3230 has this default theme,

is there any chance you could post the .mbm file for it.

Thanks

i just got my 3230 its a nice little phone with lots of fetures but the software has soo manny bugs it has restarted on me so manny times im going to take it back and use my nokia 6230, the battrie on the 3230 doesnt last that long and when i take a pxt it comes out oval im really upset with this phone i was wating 3 months till they where relised in australia but i was wrong for waiting so long

all and all if there where no software problems i would have liked to keept the phone its a mad phone dont get me wrong

hope u guys in the us and europ have better luck then the asian/australian relise of this phone

Im in Australia and purchased the 3230 as I had waited for ages. Ive gotta say I think my 3230 is awesome. Sounds like you might have a bit of a dud. Mine takes excellent quality photos (doesnt have the problem yours has) and have never had the restart problem (as far as ive seen). For the money i wreckon its a good buy and will do me untill the successor of the 6680 comes out.

Same here luko. So far so good. I think i'm gonna like this phone.

Hello from Istanbul..
Before I ask my important question below, I'd like to give some personal reviews:
I got my 3230 4 days ago. I love the appearence honestly. However, I think that the technology speed is no more faster than the speed of our fingers. I'm already tired of the slow menu. It reminds me using Windows XP with 64MB Ram 🙄
The phone has restarted itself unexpectedly 2-3 times while navigating.
I don't talk much but the battery is already off in 18 hours 😡
With enough light, pic quality is perfect!
Too many useless things in menu. I already put many of them in one single folder.
Today, I discovered that you can voice-command some menu items (like profiles, bluetooth, etc. but nıt many) However, during the time it recognizes the voice, I can already choose what I want manually.
The pictures you add to your contacts are still tiny. In K700, I could see the contact's big pic even when I get an sms.
The joystick cannot be assigned for menu items. I mean, you cannot change the assigned ones. Just the right and left button :frown:
And, I hate I cannot use T9 Turkish becoz when I use Turkish characters, my operator charges 2, even 3 sms!!! (I know, it's nothing to do with you). This wasn't happening with Siemens or SE.

And my concern (please reply): When I'm in at menu window, I realize the menu icons make me feel like I'm using a 4096-color screen!! They are NOT clear, icons have dots on them. Ok, the theme is not like that, the color is smooth but the icons drive me crazy. Also, you know the progress bar, it has a very small shadow and the color is not smooth as well. It's with dots. My version is V 3,0505,2 RM-51. If I can just find someone using 3230, I'll check this but this model is very new yet here...

I hope next version recovers these silly things..

I got mine 7 days ago.
Wanted it badly for 2 months because it just looked good. When I got it a few things irritated me, eg, the buttons were very stiff, and the top row of number buttons not mean for fat thumbed people (for me it was ok tho I would press the metal separator once and a while.

The jump between apps is slow...

The buttons are very intuitive, eg, I have pressed the joy stick down institively to activate the main menu...makes sense but it does not.

The old symbian os for 7250 etc (my old phone) allowed me to write and then add numbers to send, makes more sense...

While in writing sms mode, you cannot just go back if you abort, it is either save or go to screen saver!!!

Some apps are in finnish!!

and now my profiles app is stuck and I cannot silence the phone!!! (so waiting for help in another post)

But getting to love it and would really really hate it if I would need to trade it for a 6230 (my good friend's phone).

myholm

Just a word of advice...
It seems alot of people here arent familiar with S60 phones!

Make sure every once in a while u press and HOLD the Menu button...
Which will then bring up a list of apps running in the background, which u have to press "c" to close the apps...
the only app that should be left open is the phone app (u cant close it anyway)

Having too many apps open will slow down the speed of your phone (just like a pc).

Hi guys! I got a new Nokia 3230. Its a nice machine. I hapenned to see a software which provides a full screen view finder on the 6630. It looks simply awesome like the O2. I downloaded the same software but it aint workin on my 3230. Can anyone please provide me with the software for 3230?
Im dying for it! Thanks a lot fellas..

Yes, the battery can be changed. My brother haves a 6670 and his battery works with my 3230 too.
