Nokia 6230i in Malaysia

Filed in: Gadgets, Malaysia — January 27th, 2006

My ex was asking me to look for a few Nokia phone models with digital camera, video shooting capability, and external memory card support. Based on her requirements, I found a few models: 6270, 3230, 6260 and 6230i. Personally, I am quite impressed by Nokia 6230i.

Nokia-6230I

Key Features:

  • 1.3 megapixel camera
  • Fast file transfers with the plug and play USB port
  • 208 x 208-pixel, 65,536 color TFT display
  • 32 MB internal memory plus up to 512 MB removable memory
  • Email, MMS, and Instant Messaging
  • Animated 3D menu graphics
  • MP3/AAC/M4A stereo music player
  • xHTML browser also shows many HTML pages
  • Comfortably compact, classic design
  • Bluetoothâ„¢ wireless technology
  • Push to talk over cellular
  • Visual Radio – interact with what you hear

My two cents

My current handphone is almost 5 years old. I think it is about time to let it retire. ;)

Personally, I prefer monoblock phone over fold phones. The Nokia 6230i passes my requirement of a digital camera, bluetooth support, FM Radio, music player and compact design. Do you know the price of Nokia 6230i in Malaysia?

P/S: Nokia 3230 is not bad but the keypad is too small.

    You forgot to mention EDGE support.

    It’s in one of my lelong ‘favourites’ daily search item. Reason being I want to get connected to the internet via an EDGE phone instead of stupid Streamyx. That’d be cool to be connected anytime anywhere.

    I don’t need EDGE, my home town is not covered by EDGE.
    A.H, please update me about its price :)

    I have been using 6230i for three month already and found it to be amost a perfect phone, small, very good speaker quality. bought it for 1250-00 but now it should be cheaper than that, the camera and MP3 player that come with it are rather impressive

    For a start, how much are you willing to spend?
    This is the most decisive factor.

    What about the form? Do you prefer clamshell or candy bar?

    hi guys, i personally introduce Nokia 6030, if you not require for camera. i believe the design was cool, cause at the first sight, the external design was poor compare to other brands. Surprisingly, a lot of my friends said that the design is a bit cool, and ask me what is the model and wish to have one too.

    Sungai wang RM 410 AP phone. original is RM 490. Additionally, if you prefer radio function, i believe, 6030 will be your first choice. *Nokia application always the most user friendly function. try it out !
