Please post in right section.
3230 is a really slow phone. Rather buy a 6630 + extra FM headset.

Re: planning to by nokia3230 handset

yes this phone is a great piece for less price

features:
=========
1.gprs,bluetooth enabled
2.mp3 player and fm
3.32mb memory card
4.symbian 60 series processor
5.movie editor software
6.supports poly and true tones.
7. can add tones.

phone gets slow if u work on more then 3 processes at a time.(any phone would)

but its a best buy for its price...
i am using it for 3 months and the slowness problem can be dimished by using a more capacity memory card.

go to www.nokia.co.in for more details

Re: planning to by nokia3230 handset

That is because it has a slower processor. There's been a thread here on comparision of processor speeds in Nokia cell phones. Processor speed of 6630 is almost 2 times that of 3230, that is why I recommended that one. I use 3230 and am very dissatisfied with it's performance.

the processor speed of 6630 is not twice but defi more than 3230 + 3230 has lowwwww ram.... the best bet wd be 6630....

3230 has firmware issues, symbain bugs, slow hardware and in general the worst ergonomics in any phone ever built and ofcourse it comes with a 32 MB card while others come with minimum 64 MBso watever u do donot go for 3230

This doesn't matter cos anyways many dealers are ready to give out a 64mb card for free cos it's not worth anything much.

One thing I hate about 3230 is there is no automatic key lock ... You have to manually set the key lock .. that sucks ..
