The next day the screen was foggy and the phone worked fine, so I took it out, later on the buttons started having issues (this was later in the day) I laid it back down to dry, and it still worked for another 3 or so years no problems whatsoever. <br /><br />The camera was really good on this phone, it actually remained on inside the sink, when I saw it hit it was on, and I pulled it out it was on, when it was on, in the water, it was in there for maybe 10 seconds before I came to my senses (because this phone was REALLY NEW) and it remained on. Totally a phone I would invest in again if I had to.<br /><br />I currently realize that there ARE SO MANY different newer phones, probably nowadays leaving this phone at oh maybe 20 bucks if you saw it for sale.<br /><br />Currently I use the Samsung Intensity in Black</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=19126#review19126 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=19126#review19126 Wed, 04 Oct 2006 23:10:24 GMT <p><i>krisztoforo submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is probably the best all-in-one phone that still looks like a phone. It has pretty much everything I need: bluetooth, camera, memory card, radio, mp3 player, calendar, alarm clock, speaker phone. Seems like most negative reviews focus on bugs in early firmware versions, that's the only negative thing I was able to find, too.<br /><br />Pros:<br />- Very good RF, holds calls even on low signal levels<br />- Excellent screen<br />- Nice camera resolution (although I don't use it too much)<br />- Bluetooth<br />- Memory card<br />- Radio<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Kinda boring styling<br />- You need a fairly recent firmware (3.62+) to have a reliable phone</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=18527#review18527 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=18527#review18527 Tue, 29 Aug 2006 12:52:58 GMT <p><i>tommo420 submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I think this phone is very BOREING the layout and display is dull.<br /><br />PLUSS POUNTS:<br />1: Good sound quality<br />2: good erm oh no there is no more plus points.<br /><br />Negative points:<br />1: camera<br />2: setout layout ..... etc<br />3:mp3 no control over it<br />+ about 50 more that i do not have time to explain<br /><br />DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=16032#review16032 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=16032#review16032 Fri, 07 Apr 2006 19:51:19 GMT <p><i>Chinasaur submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Purchased in Dec '05, have used for four months and never looked back. Excellent handset.<br /><br />Purchased unlocked, this phone has been my trusted companion since the day it arrived. Syncing with either my PC or Macintosh, this phone allowed me to download my address book, calendars and ToDo lists with little to no issues.<br /><br />Call quality is stellar. Hands down the most powerful phone I've ever owned. Carrier is T-Mobile in Seattle. Used in Puget Sound and E. Washington.<br /><br />Overall, this is the real deal. Ask any knowledgeable Nokia user, read reviews online, visit the forums...the 6230i is arguably one of the Top Ten phones on the planet...at least in the Top 20.<br /><br /><br />Pros:<br />Excellent speakerphone<br />Call quality<br />Usual fast Nokia charging ~2 hours<br />Keypad<br />Camera - for quick snaps..it's ok.<br /><br /><br />Cons:<br />Pop Port - Sorry..never gotten into this "feature"<br />Radio can't be used without attached headset acting as antenna.<br />Music player is not the best engineered piece of software around.</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=14059#review14059 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=14059#review14059 Sun, 25 Dec 2005 19:14:31 GMT <p><i>jeffprox submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Simply the best phone!!!

Battery lasts 3x longer than my old Motorola T720. The interface is also far more responsive and intuitive. I can sort search through my contacts with every letter (as opp posed to only one with Moto.) Also able to save phone numbers sent via text messages. Best of all, however, is the phone's sound quality.

This was the one Nokia phone that I couldn't wait to have, however, it was the biggest disappointment as I had two of these modeled phones have problems with it. The keys would lock up on me and the only way I could get the phone to respond was to take out the battery. Additionally, the second phone of that model I received was brand new yet the display was already going on it. Needless to say I switched phone brands all together for about a month and while the phone I switched to had a lot of bells and whistles, it just wasn't a Nokia so I'm back to owning another Nokia, just not this particular model.<br /><br />Pros: Would have been an excellent phone if I didn't continually get duds.<br /><br />Cons: I continually got duds!</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=12805#review12805 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=12805#review12805 Mon, 31 Oct 2005 01:58:37 GMT <p><i>TheBoi588 submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My dad got me the 6230i about 6 months ago for my birthday and i have had no problems with it it has all the features of the K750i except for a powerful camera but its camera is still almost as good with a 512 mb card which was released a lil while ago it makes the phone even more phone able to hold movie clips and mp3s there are really no cons about this phone except for its small size this is a good buy if u dont want to spend too much on getting a K750 which i think is the best phone on the market</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11955#review11955 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11955#review11955 Thu, 15 Sep 2005 20:02:44 GMT <p><i>hope submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I owned the Nokia 7610 for one year and wanted a phone that was more conventional. I went with this one because of its features and its seize. After about a month, I will say that this is an improvement. Good reception, series 40 UI, very bright screen, and EDGE. I don't use the IR in the states, but use it when I'm overseas. The call waiting tone is louder than my previous phone which is nice. I will say this though, when switching themes, each theme has a ringer than is assigned to the theme. So, every time you switch, you will have to switch to the ringers you like. I found this to be a bit annoying. Also, dust gets into the inside of the screen easy, so one has to clean it. I find this very annoying. Over all though, the phone is great. If you like Nokia phones, this one is a great buy. Would have given it 5 stars if not for the dust!</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11462#review11462 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11462#review11462 Sat, 20 Aug 2005 23:19:52 GMT <p><i>JRaf submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This has to be the best phone ever created, it is very simple to use and has so many great features, a classic example of what a great phone is</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11341#review11341 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11341#review11341 Fri, 12 Aug 2005 22:18:35 GMT <p><i>ches submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I finally gave up on flip phones and went back to a Nokia. My reception (Cingular - traveling in Michigan and Ohio) is much better, which is all that matters to me. I'm not looking for a phone that can play MP3's, surf the net, or make me lunch. Oddly enough, I want a phone that will allow me to send a receive calls with some degree of reliability. This phone does the trick.<br /><br />My son and I both traded in our Motorola and Samsung flip phones for Nokia's, and we haven't looked back. He can get a full signal in mid-Michigan where the Samsung wouldn't even get one bar.<br /><br />I don't care about Bluetooth, camera's, MP3's, or cool ring tones. I just want a phone that works, and I'd buy this again in a heartbeat.</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11187#review11187 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=11187#review11187 Fri, 05 Aug 2005 02:02:31 GMT <p><i>Mobile In NYC submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Recently activated new acct -- had the opportunity to try the Nokia 6230i -- I am an avid Nokia user, I have to honestly say, this phone is not worth it-- save your money, or get the 6230. I guess it was because there was just too much going on inside the phone, but the software kept closing down the programs, I was using Bluetooth to load a song, down the power went, had to reopen all the programs again, no sooner had i did all that, the sofware kept closing and resetting itself. As anxious as most of you are about getting the phone, hold off until better firmware comes out, but , If you have patience and dont mind the phone giving you software problems, knock yourself out and get it. I used T-Mobile, the signal was always strong, but I would hold off on buying it. And also, it's true what you hear--- you really do hear yourself while talking, very annoying. I took my sim out, and put it into my old Samsung 225-- no problems at all. Needless to say, i cancelled my acct (within the 7 day mark) and now I am in the hunt for anothr phone. I hope this is helpful to anyone, If one person listens to this, than it was worth posting. thanks.</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=698 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=10970#review10970 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=698&r=10970#review10970 Sun, 24 Jul 2005 17:53:55 GMT <p><i>Cell Man submitted this review of the Nokia 6230i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I can't believe that there is actually a phone out there that doesn't drop calls.
