Eldar has made his 6230 review at mobile-review

in summary, a fairly good phone similar to 6610 and 6220 BUT

likely to be over-priced
slightly disappointing screen quality compared with Korean brands
disappointing camera for VGA resolution
no picture caller id........and my personal favourite
must dismantle the phone to change MMC (a la n-gage)

as i've said before, specs alone do not a cell phone make

the good thing is that other manufacturers are going to pick up on the 6230 spec level during 2004, and doubtless the "big-n" will make revised versions.

"..and portrait mode (80x96 pixels), the pictures are stored in JPEG format. When viewing pictures on phone’s screen the quality is awful, however, after transferred to PC they are slightly better, but still not as good as expected." This i don`t get: the super-duper-hype phone of nokia has this kind of problem with a VGA camera and a tft 65k?! At 500-600$?! That`s crap...

PS: Portrait mode means shit; when some` calls u, the pic is so small that`s u can`t see who`s callingg (tried on a 7650).

IMHO unforgivable in a cameraphone

@ghostmec: As i said above, the contact pic is so small thats u r unable to see whos calling!
IMO, the 6230 beats the T630 hands down but remember, its not the same class for these phones.

@701 I was refering to gelfen's post where he said it had no picture caller ID.

Thanks for your feedback, I will still wait to try, always try before you buy

Although these phones are not in same class, they are both candybar camera phones with bluetooth and thats why I am mesuring them against each other.

admittedly i was surprised that Eldar reported no picture caller id given the spec level of the phone, but i was only reporting what was in the review. perhaps the review was of a pre-production model and so not all software capability was installed (?). i probably should have checked the nokia site, but at the time i was fairly busy. happy to be corrected though.

still, the mmc changeout design is poor darts IMO.

Your right there, nothing like taking out the battery to help speed up changing cards, puts you off changing often as all that taking of the cover produces wear and tear.

To really use it as an mp3 player I would want a bigger card too. I hear rumours of it accepting bigger cards but not sure what size.

Is the Mp3 player built in or do you have to buy it separately???

Does any one know how much it will cost in the UK?
