Nokia 6230

The Nokia 6230 is a small phone that's big on performance. Weighing less than 3.5 ounces, the 6230 is light, compact, and easy to carry. The lithium-ion battery can handle up to four hours of digital talk time, and 9.4 days of standby time. And the 6230's antenna is internal, making the already-compact design even more so.

The 6230 is a solid option for users on the go. Included is a powerful speakerphone that's ideal for hands-free conversation. The phone is also Bluetooth-equipped, so a wireless earpiece may be used. Voice dialing supports up to 25 names for voice-activated calls. Additionally, there are 16 voice commands for controlling many of the phone's basic functions.

The Nokia 6230's internal flash memory (upgradeable to two gigabytes) allows for a 1,000-name phonebook. Each individual entry can have multiple phone numbers and/or text addresses. Photographs may be attached to entries for photo caller ID. The phone allows polyphonic ringtones. There are 24 preloaded, and more can be found for downloading. The 6230 also allows for MP3 and AAC playback through headphones. The VGA camera lens is located in back of the phone, so pictures can be previewed on the 128 by 128 display in the front.

The 6230 also performs well in its internet and messaging capabilities. It supports both GRPS and the new high-speed EDGE protocols. Using the Bluetooth capabilities, or via a USB cable, the 6230 can serve as a modem for a computer. For users who use their mobile phones for text messaging, the Nokia 6230 carries T9 text entry, which is a technology that speeds the entry of text on telephonic handsets. In addition to text messaging, the phone comes with an email client with POP3, IMAP4, and SMTP protocols.
