Nokia 6233 · DIGIT-ARC

Hi guys
I have seen a Nokia 6233 few days back in Nokia Show Room, the sales guys told that its a good phone. I like it also. Is it a real good phone?

K

yes my sister in law also has the same phone but what i dont like about this phone is camera its not that effective like 6280,sony w810i but the sound effect is too good. but i prefer w810i over 6233 coz of its good camera and walkie phone. but its a good worth buying 6233 if ur priority is not camera and look wise 6233 is good

i like the 6233 too.. But now nokia has launched 6300 n u shd go 4 it.. Ther s not much diff in the prices too

Thanks for replying.
Camera in not my priority. Is the sound quality better than SE w810i ?
what is the major difference between 6233 and 6300?

well the sound quality isnt better thatn w810i but its good enough... its stereo speakers rock....
well the main diff btw 6233 n 6300 is that 6300 doesnt hav 3G....
nd 6233 has vga video recording while 6300 has qcif video rec.

then 6233 is better in technology wise? as its a 3G mobile ?
What is the difference between vga and qcif video recording ?

VGA vdo recording supports resolution of 640x480
Resolution for qcif is 176x144.

hmmm i think u shd get a 6233 only... cos both prices r almost same...
in fact 6300 is costlier..

Thanks guys.
One Final question, is there any other good phone available in the same budget?

Thanks. I decide for N72. Thanks for your help.

Added reps to you

K

if u can manage more 2k then W810i is too good
its around 14k

thx 4 the reps.. But again if u prefer better music then go 4 the 6233.. If u cant do witout symbian apps then go 4 n72.. Cos u may not like the sound quality in n72.. Compare both fones @ nokia gallery n decide

Nokia 5300 is also a option......what you say guys??? S40v3.... camera is not so much good....but it's a slider phone.... check reviews here......
*www.gsmarena.com/nokia_5300-review-117.php

its also s40v2 only

^^^^
Pathinks..... check here........

*www.mobile-review.com/review/nokia-5300-en.shtml

Can I use applications like Voip in S40v2 or its only possible in s60?

afaik there r many voip applications in s60.. Dunno much abt s40.. Jus search "voip" on getjar.com .. Also the java apps in s40 may not be as good as the sis apps..

Read here more about S60 applications and what you can do with.

Let me make it clear, I am not particular about the music in mobile or camera in mobile (for those purposes I got ipod and good camera), what i need is a good phone with good features such as gprs, edge, blue tooth and should be able to run some usefull applications, if music and camera comes as an addon thats ok with me. You guys please suggest me a good phone. I am not particular about the budget, as the mobiles will be outdated or not usable over a period of 16 moths to 24 months, I do not want to spend more on that, so for more featuers for less money and relaible phone is what I am looking for.

Please help guys.

then n72

^^^ yes.... Then n72

Thanks guys

I came across one more phone guys E62 somewhere in the same budget, How about it?

Dont go 4 E-series.
U may also consider Nokia 5500 and 3250.they r pretty good fones.

K

Go for Nokia N72 only.

^^^But audio quality of Nokia 3250 Xpress Music is better dan N72.Loudspeaker of both 5500 & 3250 far better than N72.So why suggest N72?

cos its a os8.1 fone wit the max apps available at present..

what about 5500?
I understand that the N72 model does not support more than 128 mb memory.

then ur understanding is wrong

n72 supports upto 2GB...
n 5500 is also a good fone... os9.1...
but it has a small screen

its also a good option nevertheless...

I feel N72 is bit big in size, I personaly do not like the design (my personal opinion). I saw that 5500 has all the options available in N72, even more than that.
@ pathiks is OS 9.1 good ? (I am new to all these things)?

os9.1 is awesome.... its better than all the previous symbian oses...
but the apps available for 9.1 r still less compared to the apps available for 8.1.... both r good fones ...u wont regret if u take ny of them...

Thanks a lot pathiks. OS 8.1 based apps can not be loaded on higher version 9.1 ?
BTW what are all the major usefull applications available?

No OS 6,7&8 apps cannot be loaded on OS 9.1 (S60v3) fones and vice versa.
Go for any OS9.1 fone.The OS is gr8,very stable,music player has lots of options,and the new S60 browser is just awesome.I've used both OS8.1 (6630) and OS9.1 (5500) and personally i love OS9.1.

then 5500 is better than N72 ?

It depends on ur personal choice.For me it sure is.My frnd has a N72 and audio quality of my 5500 is far better when compared to his N72.Also 5500 (32MB) has more ram than N72 (bout 22MB).

well finally it depends on u... its ur choice...
i ve used both a n70(os 8.1) n a n73(os 9.1) n i loved both of them...
try out both cellfones n compare them firsthand...
to futureproof urself u might take a 5500...
but i wd prefer a n72 to it...

OK. Thank you guys all

So wat did u decide.?? Btw 22mb ram is enuf to run abt 15 normal apps together... And in 5500 it wont matter cos there arent manny good apps to multitask as such

K

5500 is a nice phone. But the display is too small. Also the camera is not as good as the one on N72. Then the lack of apps is also there. I think in the range of 13k, N72 is the best phone.

Pic quality of both fones d same.Deres no visible difference.

Hi Guys,
I went to mobile shop today, sales guy tells that 5500 has complaints, they get lot of complaints in it it seems (I didn't ask in detail). N72 is good he said. I saw Motorola A1200 or Ming, I liked it, Is it good guys?
I read many good reviews about it. Sales guy also told that its good.
I need your opinion guys, please help.

moto fones suck.. Dont think more.. get a n72

I am told that this moto phone is good and it has a business card scanner also. what do you say?

wat ll u do wit a business card scanner??

I am a lawyer, I get lot of cards.

hmmmm... Ur decision then... I go 4 n72

I am still confused. I went to shop today and came back after seeing Moto ming. I will take some time and read more reviews on moto Ming and decide between N72 and Moto Ming. Thanks Very Much for your Help.

U wont get any 3rd party apps for MotoMing cuz it runs Linux.As far as probs with 5500 is concerned,yeah the old ones had a few probs but they hav been resolved in the latest fones.

Its not as if no third party applications are available for the Linux based mobiles. I thought trying Linux based phone. Lake of application may not be a point for consideration as I feel that there are applications available for free if we digg the net.

Moreover lot of application we try them just of for fun, not really used in the day to day life. Even with the N72 or other phones its same.

they r just java apps dude... No comparision to symbian apps

K

I still say that you should go for an N72. Its better. Get something else to scan your business cards. A cell phone business card scanner won't be very reliable as it uses the camera to scan the cards.

pathiks said:

plaese can you explain in what way java apps are different from symbian apps? is there any differnce for the end user? (I am new to these things, but I want to learn about them)

K

^^ Java apps are quiet few in numbers. The few that exists are mostly web browsers and e-mail clients and stuff like that. Symbian apps come in great variety, similar to software available for say, a Windows pc. From media players, image editors, file managers, web browsers, pdf readers to even stuff that converts your cell phone into a remote control for your tv. A quick search around the net will tell you the huge variety you can find in Symbian apps. Then there are things like Symbian themes, games...... the list goes on. Symbian phones are true smartphones that put near pc like functionality in your palms. No other smartphone, even ones based on Windows Mobile come close. Java looks anaemic in comparison.

yea.. Same as above..

@gmanog

If you want your mobile to do what crazy ^^ said go with N72 if Not than go with 6233,6300 or SE like k750, W810 etc. Or Even Moto which you like

Thanks. Even I have decided against Moto, as I can not use it with one had (while driving its not possible to do anything with this phone, as no key pad, only stylus). Always using both the hands to make calls is not possible.

then go 4 a n72 fast..

For your own safety and for the safety of others on the road, i'll advise you not to use your cell phone while driving, even if you buy any other phone.

the above warning was issued in public safety by mr.krazyfrog..

Its become important to issue such warning since people like Salman Khan starting going over footpaths (and people) in their cars. Imagine Mr. Gmanog going over people in a car while typing an sms on his cell phone! We surely don't want that to happen now do we Mr. pathiks

yea u r rite dude... pls be careful mr.gmanog

Mr.Gamnog still in advantage as he is Lawyer and can save money... joking
krazy is right, not always such accident crack others some time we might get FIANL hurt for ...

Yes e50 is also nice. I like its sleek look. its also s60 based. One draw back in e50 is fonts are small.
