The tri-band Nokia 6230 offers multiple connectivity options via EDGE and Bluetooth wireless technology, a removable multimedia memory card, and an integrated VGA camera. lordpercy.com reviews the Nokia 6230 and writes, “Measuring 103 mm x 44 mm x 20 mm and a shade under 100 grams the 6230 is not small but then it’s not too big either, in fact it feels pretty spot on, the build seems to be good and the plastic manages to look fairly classy despite it being just a bit more workman like than other phones in Nokias range. Under the back cover lies a BL-5C lithium Ion battery which is good for about 5 hours of talk time and in the right conditions 200 hours of standby time which should be enough even for demanding road warriors.”

InfoSync reviews the Nokia 6230 and writes,

“Offering quality fully on par with cameras typically found in smartphones with regard to picture-taking under poorly lit conditions, the integrated VGA camera offers a resolution of 0.3 megapixels. A still taken under favourable lighting conditions is available here. Video recording and playback are also supported, while both pictures and video can easily be stored and sent via MMS, Infrared or Bluetooth. The display of the handset, on its side, is approximately on par with Sony Ericsson’s T610 with regard to crispness - although its resolution is lower.

The Nokia 6230 performs very well with regard to audio, which is particularly important considering it’s equipped with both an FM radio and an MP3 player - the latter of which also offers a handy equalizer. “

iPhone reviews the Nokia 6230 and writes, “All corners of the 6230 are rounded off; there is no sharpness in this sense. The front cover is mainly silver; the buttons are chrome-ish and compliment the cover. The outer section of the front cover is an off white, almost light grey colour and it meets up with the darkness in the middle of the handset. On the right side the infrared port and speakerphone are covered in a black plastic which curves around and gives the VGA camera a backdrop on the back cover. The whole back cover except for the small chrome release button is the grey/off-white colour on the front handset - oh, and the black camera panel which reads “Nokia”. ”

CNET writes about the Nokia 6230’s camera, “The Nokia 6230’s camera takes colorful, if somewhat fuzzy shots, although that’s to be expected with even the best VGA-quality camera phones. You can snap photos at three resolutions (160×120, 320×240, and 640 x 480 pixels). The snapshots average about 35K in size, and you can take smaller portrait shots or switch to Night mode. A self-timer gives you 10 seconds to dart into the frame for group shots, and you can even shoot 15-second video clips with sound. Unfortunately, there’s neither a flash nor a mirror for self-portraits, and a multishot function would have been nice given the phone’s extra memory. You can use the pictures as the phone’s wallpaper or screensaver, and you can send them to your friends via an e-mail, a multimedia message, the IR port, or Bluetooth. ”

GSMArena writes about sound quality, “The sound quality is pretty good. The maximum volume might not be enough when you are in the discotheque, but it’s enough for the cases when you’re in the bathtub or at work. It’s better to use the included headset if you’d like supreme quality. If you use the Pop-Port, you can’t select anything else. You need two headsets if you’d like to listen to music at the same time. But everything twines in the pocket, as you know. Too many wires are not handy and it’s easy to forget the second headset. You can skip a song using the key on the headset, but you cannot improve the sound - you need to take the telephone out of the pocket.”
