I've had this phone since mid-late October of '06, it is the phone I picked to get through the company I work for, and it has not upset me yet. Except when I am over by or in my house and it drops the call(I live somewhat in a remote area). Or by the Medical Center area. The minor inconvenience of stepping outside of my house to use my cell makes for an easy fix. Everywhere else in San Antonio it does work, best signals I get are downtown, and NE part of town. I would strongly suggest to get this phone if any customer was looking for a nice little candy-bar style phone.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-radio<br />-decent sound quality<br />-interchangeable face/back plates<br />-easy to use menu<br />-decent battery life(depending on use)<br />-picture/video camera<br />-voice memo record(set as ringtone)<br />-internet accessible/downloadable<br /><br />Cons:<br />-non bluetooth<br />-not a whole heck of a lot of memory for your extras and no SD,micro SD, MMC, or tranflash card slot<br />-not all that great of a signal in remote areas</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=22976#review22976 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=22976#review22976 Tue, 15 May 2007 20:38:37 GMT <p><i>ActionFigureStepho submitted this review of the Nokia 6235i / 6236i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I've had this phone for nine months, and I always get clear reception. I've used it up on Lake Erie in Ohio down to the Gulf in Florida without a glitch. <br /><br />The bar design is extremely durable. I've dropped, soaked and mutilated this phone in countless ways and it still looks new. <br /><br />The camera quality isn't great, but it's the picture messages it sends are clear which is really what's important in a cell phone camera.<br /><br />The ring tones are nice and loud, and I never have a problem with my speaker volume.<br /><br />Cons:<br />Zoom is sort of funny.<br />Picture and text messaging are sent through a different application, which is sort of inconvenient.<br />Doesn't support true tone ring tones.<br />Battery indicator is sort of funny. It will stay "full" for three or four days, but as soon as it starts to lose bars it shoots down over the course of a few hours. Not a very accurate meter, I suppose.<br /><br />This is a great dependable phone, especially for someone who lives in a bad reception area. Also, if you're tough on electronics this should withstand the test of your abuse far better than any clamshell design.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=22907#review22907 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=22907#review22907 Fri, 11 May 2007 16:49:19 GMT <p><i>diner8well submitted this review of the Nokia 6235i / 6236i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Mine is with MetroPCS in Ft.Lauderdale,FL.for 1-2/3 yrs. Having had a very basic Nokia 2270 for the 2 previous yrs.with Metro that I liked, I wanted to upgrade to a phone with a built in antenna. I like Metro's very basic Nokia 2116i, yet it doesn't have a standard headset plug, so I got the Nokia 6235i instead. It has whistles and bells I wasn't seeking, but now I'm glad I have. ///////PROS: good sound quality (both listening and transmitting)---very decent talk time (personally tested multiple times at 3.75 hrs.)---adjustable backlight duration (much appreciated)---excellent reception (have done side by side comparison with other phones). After Hurricane Wilma (Oct.'05), everything was damaged, including phone service. Mine hung in there, sometimes barely, with 1 or 2 bars, yet I was able to receive and make every phone call. Overall, I seemed to do better than most of my friends, even those with landlines and different carriers.---efficient joystick (correct term?)---logical, classic Nokia menu set-up and operation---crisp, rich graphics---camera/video adequate (haven't compared to others)---glitch free operation (I maintain it by removing the battery every 2 wks. or so; something like rebooting a computer, I think).---Rapid charger provided with phone is rapid (1-1/2 hrs.,empty to full)---overall very durable(keypad, battery, structural integrity, etc.).---light,compact "candybar"---interchangable covers (can be found at flea markets and dealers, and of course Nokia ///////CONS: speakerphone a little quiet (have heard better)---some displayed numbers, letters and symbols a little difficult to read sometimes (have seen better). ///////I'd recommend this phone even if it had to be bought used, at this time.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=21730#review21730 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=21730#review21730 Tue, 20 Feb 2007 02:13:07 GMT <p><i>xyzpdq123456 submitted this review of the Nokia 6235i / 6236i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok so I have had tons of phones....I just love getting a new phone...but this one is a keeper! I have had this phone for 3 months and love it! I was able to transport everything (pictures, ringtones, games, videos, etc) from my 6255i via infared. It worked so quickly!

When i first got this phone I was afraid I would drop it it's so small. I didn't.<br /><br />Reception is good. On par with Samsung a950, better than Audiovox CDM-8615. Keep your fingers away from the antenna (top back).<br /><br />Screen is visible in direct sunlight, unlike above Audiovox, whose screen is absolutely impossible to see without the backlight. Screen is not big, but that's what you get with a small candybar phone. Neither bright nor vibrant colors but serviceable. I keep the phone in my pocket and the screen has a few light scratches visible from some angles but not with the backlight on or viewing directly.<br /><br />Translator application is cute but worthless. It doesn't know "hello".<br /><br />The joystick is there to save space on the face of the phone. It's not for everyone so try it out first.<br /><br />I like how the volume rocker is small and out of the way but still accessible.<br /><br />The camera is just about worthless IMHO. The shutter speed is so slow I can't believe it. 5 seconds! I tried lowering the resolution and picture quality but to no avail. To worsen the situation there is no fast way to get to the camera. There is no dedicated camera button. The only way to the camera takes four keypresses, as opposed to one press for a phone with a dedicated camera button. I may be making too much of this but I can't imagine using a VGA camera phone for anything but quick snapshots and this camera will miss all the action.<br /><br />The FM radio is a nice feature, but make sure your earphones/wired headset work. Mine only give me mono although the phone supports stereo. My earphones are the standard blue Verizon stereo ones.<br /><br />Good battery life. Full bars for 1-2 days then 1 day after you lose one bar the battery is dead.<br /><br />The keylock serves as a bonus IQ test for your friends. I don't know why but some people can't do it. It's easy for me.<br /><br />No free games.<br /><br />Nokia UI, not Verizon, which I hate.<br /><br />I've had the phone for 6 months. I've VZW. All other phones mentioned are Verizon phones.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=20851#review20851 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=20851#review20851 Sun, 31 Dec 2006 18:24:34 GMT <p><i>teeshchicago submitted this review of the Nokia 6235i / 6236i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The Verizon version of this phone is very good.

The best part is when you buy a data USB cable for it.<br /><br />Once you have that, you can transfer mp3 files and ring tones. You can also transfer picture files and animations in .gif.

I really wanted to get away from the flip phones for a while so I chose this. I like Nokia's product because its reliable. My first cell phone was a nokia (forgot the number) but it was reliable then too. Overall, very pleased.

After breaking my fair share of LG Flip Phones, I decided to go back to this Nokia Candy Bar. (I had a Nokia from Cellular One/Cingular for 4 years -- it still works and was abusd to hell)<br /><br />Anyways, quick review:<br /><br />Phone works great, great reception (and its all digital) -- I have more bars in places where my VX-6100 did not. The joystick took me all of a day to get used to.<br /><br />The speakerphone leaves much to be desires. In comparing it with the LG VX-6100 -- the speaker on the Nokia's side (a small slitted port) is no match in loudness for the speaker on the LG. I also miss the "Driving Mode" from the LG -- that allowed you to speak digits to call and would announce the number or callers name when an incoming call came. Also, the LG had a dedicated up of the 4 way rocker to turn on the speaker during a call that was unaffected by the dialing of digits...<br /><br />i.e. you call you voicemail, enter your password so there are digits on the screen you've dialed -- you can still hit up to turn it on or off, the Nokia you have to "clear" all the numbers first before you can access the spkr. toggle button again.<br /><br />The screen is great - while the LG's was definately brighter, the Nokia's can be red in DIRECT sunlight... the LG's just washed right out.<br /><br />Another small annoyance was with such a new phone you shouldn't have to record "voice tags" to voice dial, the LG didn't need to be "trained".<br /><br />The build quality on the Nokia is far superior, however, they take a beating and keep on going.<br /><br />The battery life is so-so, but charges from dead to full in about 1.5hrs so its not a big deal.<br /><br />The predictive text learns words after you "spell" enter them in -- however, for a phone with 10MB of memory it seems to overwrite them quickly and forget older words. My cheapy "Nokia Shorty" - the Virgin Mobile one - has remembered every word since I started using it.<br />BEST OF ALL - ITS NOKIAS MENU NOT THE CRAP VERIZON std. they're going with.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=651 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=16489#review16489 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=651&r=16489#review16489 Mon, 08 May 2006 23:16:43 GMT <p><i>skybound77 submitted this review of the Nokia 6235i / 6236i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>In the 8 days I've had this phone now, it's been absolutely flawless!
