The Nokia 6230

The following technical Nokia 6230 review is based on a computer analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it is in no way an actual hands-on review. It lists its best and weakest sides so you can make a well-informed decision.

The Good:

  1. Weight: The Nokia 6230 has a smaller than average weight, which is usually perceived as a plus. (score: 12/20)
  2. Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 288 hours. It is excellent! (score: 20/20)
  3. Phone Book: It can store up to 1000 phone book entries, which is quite good! (score: 20/20)
  4. Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
  5. Wireless Data System: Bluetooth-enabled, which is an interesting plus. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or transfer data to or from your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance. (score: 7/7)

The Not-So-Good:

  1. Talk Time: A talk time of 180 minutes. I've seen better. (score: 8/20)
  2. Camera: The 640 x 480 built-in camera is minimal. Useful, but you won't win photography contests with it. (score: 3/10)

Overall Score: 80
