This is my third Nokia phone (after 6110 and 3330) and I am absolutely thrilled by 6230. I had been thinking a long time, maybe even switch to mobile competition as Nokia had a lot of flavor slip, in the past, the design concern. Now I am but "my" brand remained true and was not disappointed. The 6230 stands out not only because of its beautiful appearance, but also has very much to offer inside. The MP3 player has already been mentioned here several times, and also the built-in digital camera (with video capability) knows how to please. The images are, of course, does not compare with a real digital camera, but for mobile-level they are quite good. The mobile phone also stores .jpg images and these can then select for example, as wallpaper. The MP3's can be easily used as a ringtone (who needs because even expensive Download Services?). The calendar is extremely versatile and recalls the right time to appointments, notes, birthdays, ect. In addition, the 6230 has a currency converter, a translator and a world clock. The favorites list can be, according to their own wishes and needs, put together individually. The use of mobile phones is Nokia standard - in other words: they declared all but self can best test itself.! ;) Solely the, relatively, short battery life leaves something to be desired, what the 6230 but does not detract and deserved 5 star justifies entirely.
