I was wondering that will applying a really good lookin theme slow down my n3230(even slower...:frown: ). I guess it will what do you guys say about it..("ratza"😉!!!!

😉 It won't slow your phone very much; as a matter of fact I didn't noticed any speed variation. It's true that I keep only few apps installed though.

May be... Because some themes decreases the available RAM, and is this case, the phone, because have less RAM available, may slow down.

On my N70 there was no change in free RAM after switching to a 3rd party theme. I can't say that is the same on 3230, since I don't have it anymore.

The change in n3230 is very little and not visible in fexplorer, but it can be felt while operationg and opening folders with a huge number of files. I have now switched to symbian60 skin and facing lesser hangs and slowdowns...
