Nokia 6230i

Would anyone knows where I can find the US 850/1800/1900 Mhz version of this phone. I live in a rural part of Quebec, and I definitely need the 850 band. I ordered the 900 Mhz version because I didn't have any way to find out if the 1900 Mhz will come clear here, so if it doesn't work, I'll have it for sell to buy the US version.

Thanks

I recently purchased an unlocked 6230i. I am under Cingular Wireless and was wondering if there was anyway possible to access the internet. I had the 6230 and have had the internet for years. I am willing to pay for it, but was just wondering if there was a way to continue it through Cingular. If not, I know the 6230i runs on the same frequencies as T-mobile. Do you think it's possible to just order the internet from them while keeping my Cingular service? Or is that just a stupid question?

If the features of this phone on PhoneScoop are accurate. Everything on the 6230i is great, however, why would Nokia taking a step back and not having a Full-duplex speakerphone.

called today 139.99, will have in couple days

I'm getting soooo tired of waiting for this phone. Does anybody know the date of its release? Let us know as soon as you find out.

I have been trying to find any info on a Cingular release date in the St. Louis MO area for the Nokia 6230i and was told in a week or 2, but have heard conflicting stories.

What has anyone else heard?

thanks

I've compared all the spec sheets i can find and some things confuse me. Says that usb and mp3 has been added to the 6230i, but doesn't the 6230 already support both these things? the nokia site also says the 6230i has an IR port and the 6230 doesn't. can anyone clear any of this up? I'm about to order a 6230 through letstalk, can't wait.

is this a better.. ie. lighter/smaller option for high tech looking 6681/82 or 3230 ???
is just the screen size/resolution only the major disadvantage??.. and we get added Radio to it..

so, why shed extra for 6682 or 3230??.... any answers?

😕 The bluetooth failed on my first one. Now my second ones bluetooth has failed in just under 2 weeks and the unit starts heating up and the battery drains in about 3 hours with no use. I think there's definitely a bad batch out there. It's the results of Nokia's new rush to get things out philosophy. What a disappointment.

So, I was thinking... I already have the 6230.. and I have insurance.... if my phone should break or get lost, my insurance will cover the replacement phone... however, does anyone have an idea if it would be replaced with the 6230, 6230i, or suprisingly, another phone altogether????

I see that this phone has swapable faceplates but does it also have swapable keypads? Thanks.

I just ordered mine today from Communication Telecom Intl. for US495.00 should be here Monday 🙂

Does this phone really lack ringer ID? That's a pretty basic function to lack. Can anyone tell me if that's just a misprint on the site?

Also...a US release date would be swell.
Thanks.

I just played with this phone for a few hours and OMG is it awesome. This may be the everything to everyone phone all us phone geeks have been griping about for years. My trainer brought in his 850 Cingular model. It has killer audio, the video playback is insane. It even has a video based user manual with audio built in. Probably a waste of memory, but a great feature to get low-tech users comfy with a very high tech phone. The camera is awesome. The screen is one of the best I've seen on a Nokia. The guy who owns the phone (and just about every other GSM phone out there) claims it is his favorite new phone since the T-Mobile Samsung S105 came out a few years back. He even had Blackberry running on it. Sick!

Hey, Does anyone know if this phone has a headphone jack, to play the mp3/radio? I've read that it only plays it out loud and then also that it does have one! Could anyone clear this up? Thanks

Does anyone know how good the camera is on this phone.... lets say compared to the Sony Ericsson s710a (s710i)?

I have the 6230, and the camera isn't that great, so, I was just wondering... thanks!!

Does this have a pop port the same as the 6230.
wife has a cark 126 car kit and i bluetooth. want the phone to work in both.

Does this mean that he one gig mmc cards available on the market will not work in this phone?

When can we expect too see the 850 band version released in the US??

OK, I currently own the Motorola V400 phone on cingular's network. The V400 has a speakerphone as well as the new nokia 6230i. The speakerphone is pretty good quality on motorola but its NOT full-duplex (can both speak at the same time without waiting for the other person to finish what he/she is saying). Is the speakerphone quality good on both ends (caller and callee)? Is it loud enough to hear in a noisy enviornment? And lastly, is it full-duplex?

Thanks in advance,
