Nokia 6230

As part of my migration from AT&T Wireless to Cingular, I had to get a new phone. I ended up getting the Nokia 6230. While I will miss the qwerty keyboard on my Nokia 6800 or 6820, this phone is the shiznit, at least for this type of phone.

Here’s what I like, in no particular order.

1. It’s fast. The UI is fast. The EDGE is fast (it’s Class 10, which means it can theoretically hit the 200k range).
2. It plays MP3s, which are stored on the included MMC card. Needs a bigger MMC, though. Decent quality sound.
3. It does MP3 ringtones.
4. Camera is better than the 6820 (can do 640×480). Not only that, you can crop pictures from the phone itself.
5. The browser does a better job of rendering HTML. I did mention this phone was faster, right?
6. FM Radio. Useful at times. Needs the headset connected.
7. Streaming video, though I need to test it somehow.

At least it will hold me over until I can get my hands on a Nokia 6630.
