Nokia 6230

Will it be possible with this phone to download applications, screensavers, etc. to a computer and then transfer to the phone via USB cable?

I know you could do this via the wireless web, but I would rather not pay a monthly fee for that service. I'd rather d/l for free to the computer and transfer if possible.

Also, is there an additional monthly fee to use the camera, video? I would assume there would be a fee to send it wirelessly via the phone, but couldn't one upload to a computer and then send out through regular mail?

Finally, what about using the phone with another bluetooth enabled device (such as a camcorder)? Is there an additional fee to use the phone to connect to a local ISP, or would only the regular calling minute...

I require some of your wisdom. I can currently get a E398 free or get a Nokia 6230 for about $170. Any suggestions?

when exactly will cingular stores have it????

I would leave to hear people's opinions on the bluetooh implementation for the Nokia 6230. I'm a big Nokia fan, but I've heard that they have had some problems with bluetooth implementation on some (most?) of their phones.

I am considering buying this phone to use the bluetooth features on my Acura TL.

Any updates coming that may resolve some bugs? Thanks.

I've had my eyes set on the 6230 from Cingular, but it seems by the time it comes out the 7610 will not be far behind.

The major differences of consequence to me are:
The 7610 has Series 60, a megapixel camera and a bigger screen. The 6230 is a little smaller and lighter, has FM radio, EDGE and a normal keypad.

Is the lack of EDGE in the 7610 that big a deal? And is Series 60 that much of an improvement? Any thoughts on what could tip the scale in either direction would be greatly appreciated.

Also has anyone heard about the 6230i? Here's a story from Mobile-review:

for those of you with the phone already,

How is voice dialing with the phone? Is it voice-independent dialing and does it also have voice digit dialing?

and is it possible to chat on AIM/MSN with this phone? It only mentions 2-way text messenging on the info page...

thanks.

Friends in Asia that have the phone state that the Asian version is buggy, and tends to freeze up and re-start. Hopefully the US version does not. Anyone out there that has this phone have these problems?

Does anyone have any more info on a release date for cingular?? it was said around August 19th which is next week....

im looking so sign up with cingular the week of the 23rd of august, so i was hopeing this phone would be out... 😁

Thanks

Cingular included a 4 color slick, 3 page gatefold advert in the Houston Chronicle this weekend which showcased the NOKIA 6230.

"Call or stop by for availability."

"SAVE $150 after $50 mail-in rebate with 2 year SA"

estimate: $249 purchase, $100 off for SA, $50 mail-in rebate - akin to SE T637 pricing

of note: the NOKIA N-Gage QD was shown at $99 with $50 MIR and 2 yr. SA

also of note: the website has not yet been updated to include the NOKIA 6230, but more interestingly, the MOTO V600 is now absent.

???

Will the Nokia 6230 work with Sprint PCS? That's where I have my current contract w/ & I'd like to get this phone...I was talking with a sales rep at AT&T who also was a fan of this phone & he said that if I got it from an independent distributor & just made sure it was "unlocked" that I would be able to use this phone w/ sprint..any truth to this?

also, all these things about 850 or 900 & different numbers, I'm totally confused!

I'm in the US so what would I be looking for here?

Thanks!

Does anyone Have a definite release date for cingular on this phone august is almost here someone has got to know

I've been waiting for the 6620, but most of the features I wanted are also on the 6230. Is there any reason I should or shouldn't get the 6230? Should I keep waiting for the 6620?

ok who knows when this phone will be avalible and how much???

Is there anyway that anyone knows if you can re-program this phone to have riger ID's instead of caller gropus? Any help with be appreciated!

Seems like this phone should be released any time now...

Hi everyone! 🙂

I was really interested in buying the nokia 6230 off of ebay because it's not available in the states yet...at least not where i'm looking... but as i was researching the qualities of the phone, it seemed very good...until i ran into an article done by mobile city. There seems to be an overheating problem of some sort here's the link... 😢

if anybody else has had this problem please let me know...i don't want to be spending close to $400 on a phone that may have serious software problems. Thanks! 😁

Does anyone have any decent java games they'd like to share?

I have a few basic ones from a number of freebie sites!

hi to all,,
please i newly bought 6230,the problem is that the music player only reads music files when they are on the phone memory(8.5 mb)why cant it read from memory card where i stored my music,
problem 2:when i copy mp3 from pc it copies it 1st to phone memory,which limits it up to 8.5 mb,why not to copy directly to memory card without the need to turn off the mobile,open it, and use a memory card reader,finally,when using phone browser to browse the phone gallery,it displayes the message"operation could'nt be completed".
thanx,,,

yesterday, i was mucking about with my wallpapers...kept changing the contrast, and suddenly all the pictures returned back to before i changed any contrast of the pictures.

From then, i havnt been able to set contrast of the picture, i pressed set contrast, ok, then say like i exit the file, then when i go back to it, its just the same picture as the one before i set contrast.
Do i have to format the phone, to get it working again?
...and what is the quickest and cheapest way to unlock 6230?
thanx

I am planing to buy a N6230. But I have some questions to know!

1) Does the phone have a real-one player? Can I watch whatever movies I transfer on its MMC? (Of course converting them to .3gp format)

2) Can I listen MP3's on phones handsfree speaker without plugging any headphones?

3) If I buy a 256 mb MMC , can I record longer movies?(Longer than 4 min)

4) Is there any zoom function on its camera?
