I want to purchase this phone with quite lucrative features. Can anyone tell me whether this mobile can operate as CDMA & GSM at the same time?

Does it require change of options at the start menu for change over to CDMA & GSM. Can I get & receive a call at GSM while operating at CDMA. Please send me complete details regarding dual mode GSM & CDMA.

Before I owned this phone I was searching to the Internet to find out the features of this phone. After I read these features I am amazed because it has a lot of features especially stereo music player because I really love music. Thanks Nokia for having this phone! I really enjoy this phone. A great music, great camera, easy to use keypads, super fast in downloading but lacking of flash. It has no flash, it can still take on night time shot but not totally as clear as with flash & a little bit blurred. Don't hesitate to buy this phone because you really enjoy it. Go!

Junk, it keeps getting a SIM card registration failed error randomly which renders the phone useless until the code is entered again. Sometimes it requires the battery & SIM to be removed as no number of code re entries will fire the thing up. Mine is a work mobile but I feel sorry for anyone who has paid $$'s for one. Steer clear of this one.

I LOVE THIS PHONE! The sound is AMAZING! Much better than the Nokia 6300, Nokia 5310 & the Sony Ericsson W810i! If you love music like me, then go for it. Regrets are, it doesn't have flash & a 3.5 have port.

I am a Nokia business customer & have always used Nokia phones but the 6233 is useless if like me you use hands-free. It sets automatic voice tags to each entry & if you have lots of contacts in your phone but only use a few hands-free it dials the wrong number. I used to be able to assign voice tags such as phone office, phone home etc. Now this is not possible. I don't recommend this phone to anyone using hands-free.

Can anyone suggest me which I should purchase the Nokia 6233 or Nokia 3110. I find out that the features are almost same for both. But there is a big difference in the price around 2k rupees. I am now a little confused.

Reviewer: Madasheck - UK
Date: 5th Feb 2008

All was well until one year of use then the phone memory shuts right down. No I did not fill it with games, or themes, or new ringtones. I use it for text, email, Internet & that's it.

I removed almost all I could from phone memory & use a 2GB SD memory card. Yet despite backup & restore of all phone memory, checks with MobiMB to find what is taking up the 3 MB phone memory, removing all themes, I still have 200 KB free memory. Cannot find where the memory is gone to. Cannot use 6233 for email & text is limited with frequent memory full messages.

I have checked all Nokia support discussion boards to find an answer. Found that this is a common 6233 problem, the user cannot clean the phone memory. Some report only 80 KB memory remaining, no email, no text messages, no themes, no ringtones just not enough memory to use the 6233 at all.

Some report success with backup followed by restore with Nokia PC Suite. Some went to a complete software upgrade. Some bought MobiMB to clean invisible files out. Nokia has no answer to this, except buy a new phone.

I really like this phone I have had it about 8 months now. I found it really easy to use because of its simple layout of the menu. The screen is really bright & clear. I use it most weekends for making videos at the skate park & has never let me down on quality. It is a really tough phone as I have had many accidents with it & it has never broken. The only thing I found wrong with it is that it scratches very easily, has no camera flash & it is a bit chucky but overall I found it was a really good looking & useful phone. I would recommend it.

Got black last yr.

- Great amazing perfect loudspeaker, never find in any other mobile (better than N73, N95, Samsung & Sony Erricson)
- Nice feature
- Quick & easy access to all menus
- Good call quality + cool camera
- Perfect secret button (as voice recorder)

BUT:
- Short battery
- Bad reception & no signal if being covered
- A small bug turns it off suddenly (1 in 1000 call)
- Can't get rid of camera click (or I couldn't find it!)
_ The backlight goes on & off (due to search & change signal), (don't put it in your bedroom!)

Great phone.
Goods.
- Look.
- Daytime camera.
- Speakers!
- 2GB memory is good.
- Quality of led.

Bads.
- Power button has broken 3 times on me.
- Camera has no flash.


LOL, Only a few things I don't like are that this phone is really big & the phone doesn't break very easy to me. I have dropped it 2 million times I have never had anything but a little scratch on the case.

It is not a slim design & not showing call duration during call to use 100% of your time to talk. Also not supporting other application except java applications. Memory chip should be designed inside avoiding miss use by friends.

Reviewer: Sefton - UK
Date: 11th Jan 2008

I've had my phone for a year now & loved it when I first got it. I am not a heavy user of it, but now the battery does not even last 12 hours. It doesn't always ring when people phone me, despite there being no problem with my network (O2).

The email facility is a pain, as someone below has already mentioned, it will not download emails if you've got more than a few text messages stored in your phone.

The phone also has a habit of turning itself off for no reason. The battery life is also affected by the phone constantly switching itself from blank screen saver to normal screen display, which cuts down the battery life a lot.

Overall, good features, but be prepared to buy a new battery after a year.

WELL the 6233 IS A NICE & GOOD LOOKING PHONE & I am USING IT For the LAST 13 MONTHS BUT SOMETIMES ITS RINGTONE CHANGES ITS SELF.

SO Please don't BUY Nokia 6233. WASTE OF MONEY.

Reviewer: Rajesh - Seeruttun, UK
Date: 6th Jan 2008

This is a pretty good phone, a good balance between work & play. It has everything you might need in a phone but it does have some drawbacks that if improved in my opinion I would probably never look at another phone again.

- It's heavy, not as heavy as other nokias but it's bulky & weighty.

- It can freeze & reset the wallpaper, screensaver & ringtones (although I finally found out why, too many texts in your inbox, it may be expandable to 2GB but the inbox is in the phone memory & has its limits, clean out the box & the phone works fine).

- There is no playlist feature, the best you get is 'random'.

- There is no flash for the camera.

- Pictures at night are terrible, even with the night mode.

- Pictures & videos saved can go AWOL within the phone, difficult to find them after they are taken.

- Slow 3G access but that could be the network not Nokia.

However.

- the sound quality from the speakers are excellent, best I've heard so far.

- the music controls via the headset are basic but good.

- the 2MB camera is great by day, as is the video.

That's it. I actually nearly bought the Nokia 5310 but the only benefits it has over the 6233 is the slimness & the playlist, the camera is terrible (almost half the resolution of the 6233) & it's not 3G. Think I'll get a pay as you go sim & stick with the 6233.

Reviewer: Frank Luyinda - Kampala, Uganda

Leave alone the shape & weight. This phone is real good with the upgraded Nokia screen display, the clarity of camera & video. The soft keypad, & most of all I wanted a phone with big card memory (2GB not bad) since I am a graphic artist. This is a REAL PHONE.

Two disadvantages so far, very small internal memory & its brick size.

What I think about this phone is that this is my second Nokia 6233 I love this phone so much because of the high quality speakers & lovely sound & camera 2 MP not bad. Only a few things I don't like are that this phone is its quite fat, really big & it can be broken very easily that's the only thing I don't like otherwise it's a fabulous phone I lOvE It. WOW.

Hey, so many people share the same experience. A waste of money. I don't mind any features, design or whatever. But reliability & this is not given with this phone. It started that I could not charge the phone properly anymore. Now, many times the reception disappears or I got good reception but always error in connection if I want to make a call. That means I can't call & nobody can call me. That makes the phone completely useless.

A great phone I had to buy this 1 week after I purchased a Nokia 6300 which are completely useless & thanks Nokia for not giving me a replacement or credit to us when I bought this phone nice business for you but the last business you will ever get off me.

---

Reviewer: Rob - UK
Date: 24th Nov 2007

Loved this phone but, my first had to be replaced after only 4 months. Due to it constantly loosing message centre numbers, settings when travelling, then it locked itself up completely so that even Orange couldn't rectify it. Received replacement phone only 2 months ago & now that one is doing the same, but worse still it refuses to take any charge. Even when registering charging. I agree, it's a lovely phone & very tactile, however its reliability now means it'll be in the bin long before its due date. From my experience id steer clear. All service providers are aware that this model has numerous faults. Be warned!

Reviewer: Paul - Leeds, UK
Date: 12th Nov 2007

The phone has been great, it is to my mind still the most stylish phone out there even though it is over a year old. The downside is its reliability. It has regularly crashed if I try to send a reply to a text message when another message arrives.

In addition to this, my previous phone, a 6230i, still works brilliantly, but the 6233 has just gone kaput for the 2nd time & wiped out a lot of info I need, annoying.

Reviewer: Anand - Chennai, India
Date: 8th Nov 2007

Hi, the phone is awesome with all features like good music, fast processing, easy to use interface.

Con, It is java enabled or Symbian 40 series & so putting 3rd party software was a problem. I wanted to put dictionary but couldn't.

If anyone knows from where I can do this, please let me know, thanks.

Reviewer: Mark - UK
Date: 4th Nov 2007

Great phone & a good step up from 6230 & 6230i but after 10 months the signal suddenly disappeared. After repair, put it by bedside one night & when I woke up it had gone again. This phone has been looked after & just isn't reliable enough. All my settings also wiped themselves off which was very inconvenient. It all works apart from the phone bit & camera is good but I can't call or receive calls. Just great!

If it worked & had a wallet feature as per 6230i it would be fantastic. Also the memory card fits in upside down so you can't grip the little lip on the card. Great phone but I gave it 5% as it has no signal. Now O2 gave me an E65 & that's worse than this.

NOTE: my 6230 is still going after 4 years & comes mountain biking with me every week. This & the 6230i must be the best Nokia's ever. Different brand after the E65 for sure.

Reviewer: Sorin - Romania
Date: 4th Nov 2007

OK in the 1st place ill say that in fact I use 6234, very good phone. It has poor rewind & fast forward facility but lacks fast forward in video. I have broken this phone twice because java is bad & antivirus in java is useless. Bluetooth cause problems, flash in camera is not present, pdf is only in java so in fact is bad, music players crash the system, so this mobile phone will last only with default stuff. Bye.

Yeah truly it's the best mobile. Its camera is very good & video is awesome in VGA size. It's my second 6233. With the first one I was happy & it was awesome but changed to the n73, I change it but after some time I felt the 6233 had better features. I just missed two things, flash & auto focus.

That's all other wise I recommend 6233 to everyone, it's the best & the quality is awesome best mobile ever. The keypad is very soft & very easy to type messages very quickly. 100 out of 100.

Reviewer: Andrew Walker - Sheffield, UK
Date: 11th Oct 2007

Great phone, I've had it for 1 year & 1 day when I write this review. It's crashed once (when someone cancelled a Bluetooth sending) but other then that it's great. I've got one scratch on the back above the camera (about 3 cm long), but it was left in the same pocket as my phone so I can't really complain.

The features are standard to any other 3G phone. & great battery, I can honestly say I've had it on the radio for 5/6 hours & still been on 3/4 or 2/4 battery. The audio quality & sound out of the speakers is great due to the double speakers on either side.

The phone is the same as any other Nokia on usability with the side bar & roughly the same menus.

Overall I would recommend this to anyone looking for a £100-£150 good quality 3G phone that will last for a long time.

Why are most of the reviews on here so negative? I've had mine for quite a while & it's not even scratched & has never broken down. You all need to learn how to handle a phone.

Reviewer: Nilesh Desai - London, UK
Date: 17th Sep 2007

I've had this phone for about a year & bought as a serious step-up from my previous Nokia. The usability is exactly the same as other Nokia phones so menus etc. They are all familiar.

Set-up & options were more varied so having a play with it is the best way to make sure you have optimum set-up. Camera worked well & shutter lag not too bad.

Battery life better than I expected for a 3G phone, but perhaps I haven't used the functions that chew battery life as much as others might.

Radio & music player quality very good & supplied headphones were reasonable as well.

Only disappointment was no plug for normal headphones.

Well, sleek phone, really easy to use & for its time, very good camera. The games were a bit boring but for a first phone it was really good because it was so cool.

This phone should be impressive, however its reliability is what makes this handset truly awful. I've had the complete main board replaced 3 times in the last month, plus the screen easily cracks & costs to replace as much as a cheap phone & to think it is only 7 months old! Never mind all the bells & whistles, it's just not worth it.

6233 rocks.

Pros:
- Great stereo speaker sound.
- 2MP camera. Great to capture photos.
- 8 x zoom. Too good.
- Screen resolution in the range of higher price best phones.
- Java edition sometimes bad initially. But can get many s/w on getjar.com & other sites. But this doesn't have any virus like problems.
- I didn't found any n/w problem & freezing problem in it.

Cons:
- Flash & auto focus is not available in this. So night photos are not too good. Still Best for day light.
- Body attached & can't be changed. So beware of it.
- Music player doesn't have FF & BW facility.

Still this one is the best ever phone I found in its range. Thanks to Nokia. Still should have Flash light in it. You must buy this rocking model from Nokia.

I bought this phone for the main purpose of making & receiving calls, I need a phone that has voice dial, Bluetooth, speakerphone & good battery life above all other things. Hence when it came out I bought one. Have tried to setup the email option but after managing to send one mail have been constantly shown the message of memory full, despite having no emails in the outbox, inbox or any other box, Battery life is disappointing, my other half has a 6121 from work & her phone lasts twice as long as mine. Would I buy another, no is the only answer, I am now getting error messages when trying to charge the phone & the charger itself is very temperamental, like a loose wire.

I think it is time for a Samsung as my other half has had several for her own phone & swears by them.

I am a Nokia man & have been for over 10 years. The EASIEST & BEST phones but tend to lack on the extra features you get with Sony and all. However, they are catching up.

The music player on the 6234 is very easy to use, & with an increased MicroSD card (I am using a 1 GB), it stores well enough to keep you amused. The camera is amazing, but like most phones, could do with a flash.

Oh, & it's a great, easy mobile 'phone! How many other devices can still say that! Nokia forever!

Anyone that gets it will be very happy!

I have had mine now for nearly a year & the only thing that has broke it my volume down button, but that is because I am always messing with it.

If anyone gets it I recommend it in BLACK, it looks way better than the silver one & the limited edition white one on Orange networks.

I am now getting a N95 next month, I will be sad to see this phone go though, far one of the best phones Nokia has made so far.

I've had the phone for a few months.

Pros:

- Generally, it works well for my needs (making & receiving calls, sending & receiving the occasional SMS).

- I can browse the BBC & Reuters websites easily enough.

Cons:

- Major: Phone gets uncomfortably hot during a 10 minute call. This is why I would not buy this phone, as otherwise it works well for my needs.

- Minor: Known bug is MMS does not work when delivery reports is enabled.

- Minor: Battery cover sometimes slides off when in my pocket.

- Minor: Speaker phone crackles when on full volume (10) but this is addressed by dropping the volume by one notch (9)

Reading through these reviews a lot of the problems that people have with their phones seem to occur when they are on the Orange network. I have had this phone for about 9 months now on O2 & I have not had any of the problems of the phone hanging or SIM card not recognised or registered. My battery life lasts about 5-7 days with each charge - but I do let the battery run down completely & then charge it completely. I have the power saving switched on & the sleep mode switched off. I love the radio & the MP3/Music player - the sound quality is excellent. There are a few minor drawbacks - the lettering on the keys on the silver phones is not very clear & the back light does switch off after a few seconds - but these are minor problems. I have found the camera to be quite adequate & I don't make video calls so don't need a camera on the front of the phone. Overall I am very pleased with this phone.

I just bought this phone 1st of July 2007. When we tested with the seller, it was working well but when I came with it home, it started disturbing me by switching off when communicating & as well as when playing. This normally happens in 2-3 minutes time. Up too now, I have not confirmed what would have happened to the phone yet it did not fall down.

I am therefore, asking the makers to help rescue my situation otherwise I may loose the amount I used for buying the phone .I.e. 250$. This is my second Nokia I have bought but the 1st one was not behaving like this one.

The worst phone that you could ever buy, anyone who does is wasting their cash.

I was quite happy with the phone as now have used it for 5 months but now my phone has switched off & its just not turning on & from what I read this problem is being faced by many.

I loved all the features of this phone & the looks & feel of it, but totally unreliable if you actually used it as a phone. Incoming calls sent to voicemail, me getting a text 5 minutes later saying I missed a call. Tried phoning out, no network available. Took it back to the Orange shop where I bought it from, who didn't want to know. Phoned Nokia, who assured me the phone was fine, the sim card was corrupted. Bought a new card, still had same problems. Took it to a Nokia repair centre, who downloaded new software on to it & assured me it was now cured, it wasn't. They now say its an Orange network problem, Orange says it isn't. I am stuck with a phone that is great at everything, except phoning!

I had this phone as an upgrade by t.mobile. At first it was a good phone until I took some photos from it. When I tried to send them to a friend the screen went blank & then came back onto the main menu. I have taken it back to the t.mobile shop, it's been back twice & they have even replaced it with a new phone.

I love this phone! This might look like just a basic phone but don't judge a book by its cover! It's gorgeous! Love it so much! Nokia has done a great thing with this! Except for the front camera! The lacks of it, but other things are working good! GOOD JOB Nokia!

Hi this was a great phone until it failed after the first week of having it! The phone had been safely stored in the side pocket of my car & when I went to use it, I noticed that a burn mark was visible on the screen & the phone was dead. On returning the phone to the supplier they have stated that the phone must have been dropped because the inside screen is cracked! The supplier will not budge, some non technical office person has decided that's what it is!

Amazing how I can break the inside screen without any damage to the outer case! Anyone else have the same fault with theirs?
