 Nokia 6230 is announced in 2003
Design
Heavily influenced by classic Nokia design in areas of shape, colour and design, weighing in at 97 g and measuring 103 x 44 x 20 mm, the 6230 is petite and relatively lightweight. The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.
Lacking LEDs of any kind, however, the display - combined with vibration and audible alerts - is the 6230's only way of notifying users of new messages and missed calls. This is common for all Nokia handsets, requiring users to inconveniently have to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting rather than just glance at it.
Ergonomics
The 6230 lies well in ones hand.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Nokia handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.Unfortunately, the keypad of the Nokia 6230 emits excess noise, but on the bright side its keys have been comfortably spaced and sized. We're not entirely happy with the design of the navigational pad and its adjacent buttons, however, as distinguishing between these less easy than it ought to be.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the 6230 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as HSCSD, GPRS, EDGE, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 1.0, 40-channels polyphony, voice commands, a voice recorder, FAX/Modem, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,bluetooth high speed small range wireless device.GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, HSCSD support gives more speed when you browse with your mobile browser,and spacious phone book.
As previously mentioned, the 6230 is also equipped with and audio/video recording, as well as an integrated MP3 player.The latter of which is also the reason for why the 8 MB of internal memory, which initially appears spacious, is quickly stretched to its limits. The 6230 also comes with an and Multi Media Card (MMC) expansion slot located under its battery,a 16-128 MB card comes bundled in the sales package, more space for images audio and video files, less time for PC and communication cable for updating internal memory, MP3 and MPEG4 are both formats which can be stored for playback on the Nokia 6230.
Performance
Audio quality on the 6230 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 850 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 5 hours talk time or 300 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 127 minutes.
Availability
The Nokia 6230 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Nokia 6230 is a beautiful phone to hold and use, and it's quickly won our hearts. The typical Nokia design flair is present in abundance, with all the requisite consumer features to back it up.But love doesn't notice such little flaws. |
