Hi all... I'm new to this forum but old to the one over at GSMArena.
I've bought the Nokia 6230 from Hong Kong, where the top of the line phones are usually released first as ppl tend to change phones once every few months.
Here, we have the Nokia Professional Centres directly governed and operated by Nokia themselves. Their service is really professional and questions are answered quickly. I've come across quite a few probs with the phone and they've given me some answers that I'd like to share with you all.
First of all, I've located two bugs with the phone that is "firmware caused". The first one is that if you open a video and then instantly press the volume buttons on the side of the phone, the machine will instantly restart. Nokia has responded by telling me that at the moment they have no solution but they will inform the technicians of the case. Please note that the latest firmware version is 3.15 and you can check yours by pressing *#0000#.
The second problem is bluetooth related in which if a disconnection is initiated from the phone, the phone will first confirm that it has disconnected and then hang at the "disconnecting" screen. Sometimes, your phone will recover if you leave it for 5 minutes and sometimes it will be stuck on that screen forever. If you push the "hangup" button, it will close that screen BUT the bluetooth menu in your phone will become fully inoperatable. Nokia has responded once again as a problem in the firmware.
The third problem is that pictures cannot be deleted if you set it as a wallpaper and then set it to something else. For example, if you set A.jpg as your wallpaper and then change it to B.jpg, and try to delete A.jpg, it will say Cannot delete. This seems to be some sort of caching problem in the phone's memory and can be healed simply by turning off and then turning on your phone again.
The last problem is that some people cannot see their MMC card in the Phone Browser in the PC Suite. The solution to this is simply rename your card to anything. A nameless card is not recognized by PC Suite.
I hope this information will help all those who are interested in this phone.
Apart from these minor problems, I'd say this phone deserves a 8/10!
