General Comments

Where do I start?

Ive tolerated the Motorola V600 for about a year now but now I'm getting a Nokia 6230i.

The design is fairly nice and the phone is well built however it scratches very easily and I have had nothing but problems with it.

To be fair the phone has some nice applications such as a datebook, but lets face it most phones have similar stuff built in.

My first gripe is that text messages do not send at random, which is really annoying. The only way to get round it is to forward the text into a new message and resend it. Also the predictive text is pathetic and it never seems to remember what you have previously put in. You can only store 10 inbox messages at a time and you are constantly deleting old ones (Which I have just done as I type this.)

The texting thing I can just about stand, but there are buttons on the outside which change your ringtone profile! I was in a meeting at work, put my phone on silent and obviously I caught the buttons in my pocket (maybe on my keys) and all of a sudden Airwolf was blasting out on loud in all its glory... Very embarrassing! And very poorly designed.

Battery can last anything up to 24 hours... if you are lucky...

The menus are just totally illogical and it seems to take forever to get to where you want and sometimes its nigh on impossible to find anything.

Bluetooth is terrible and never seems to work

The phone also has a habit of randomly resetting itself, whether you are in the middle of a call, or text, it just has a mind of its own.

The reception is really bad and sometimes you cannot hear what the other person is saying. I had this problem for about a month then a few weeks ago the speaker has just given up totally, now I can only text people on it, Thanks Motorola.

Give me a Nokia anyday.

Total tripe, Avoid!
