I brought this phone last month for 400$ installed 256 MB card for another 25$, here's what i genuinely feel about this phone
ADVANTAGES
1) The only reason why this phone earns 4 points is because of its photo quality, the photo quality is exceptionally good, one cannot ask for better but the same cannot be said for video quality its just ok.
2) Over all external features are good size, shape, colour display, battery life, screen is big.
3) Another blessing for purchasing Nokia is various software�s/games available, it just makes life so easy. Most of 60 series software work fine on 3230.
4) Pc sync is good, I am using data cable and believe me you have the flexibility of customization.
5) Blue tooth is really good.
6) Video playback is good.
DISADVANTAGES
1) Speaker Sound quality for music playback is not at all good, compared to P900 the sound is lousy
2) The very basic option of Birthday reminders is missing I cant believe this can happen is Nokia sleeping
3) Photo caller identification we only see a small pic rather than original big photo
4) Like all other 60 series phones this phone some times restarts/hangs when there is large processing.
5) We cannot open WORD EXCEL documents now this can be pain in neck P900 which was launched some 2.5 years back does have this function.
6) Comes with built in 32MB RAM you need to extend your RAM 32 MB is just not enough, believe me or not 3230 does not come with its own CD, I had to install the bundled software with my data cable.
Over all I like to say its good phone the best thing with NOKIA 3230 is its power of customization if you are computer savvy then you will love this phone you can customize the phone as per your wish.
