"Exceptional series 40 phone. Very nice."
Pros: Well endowed with features. Attractive. 208x208 screen. MP3 player. 32 MB internal mem.
Cons: Keypad not the best for texting.
Summary: I'm not sure how long exactly this phone has been around, but as software for it becomes more widespread it should become a very reasonable mobile gaming platform even. It stands out from many other phones with it's 208x208 screen (also 65 K colors). Physically the screen is NOT oversized, so that screen resolution counts entirely towards excellent clarity and sharpness.
Good MP3 player: officially it can take up to a 512 MB MMC for up to 8 hours of MP3 music. I have a Kingston 512 MB MMC+ myself which works fine. According to some users of the phone, it can even take 1GB MMC's, but I haven't confirmed this myself. It's reported that some 6230i's don't handle AAC files reliably, but you'll have no problems using the standard MP3 format.
It has a radio too.
Keypad is not the greatest for texting. With the oversized keys down the middle, your thumb needs to strain for the side keys. With some ergonomic adjustments however it's doable and I've gotten used to it.
It's well endowed overall: big 32 MB internal mem, bluetooth, infrared, gprs, xthml, wap, pop3/smtp email, mms, streaming, synchronizeable organizer, push to talk, etc.
Oh and stereo headset included
It's not a smart phone, but I'm pleased with it. Exceptional phone for series 40.Updated
I forgot to mention the 1.3 megapixel camera as a "pro" for this phone. It's nice to get big pictures. Camera also adjusts well to lighting conditions. Remember though that color depth is only 65K; that to some extent takes away from the advantage of high pixel resolution depending on the picture.
