I recently got the Nokia 6233 as a replacement for a faulty 6230i, which in turn was a replacement for a dead 3 year old 7600!
I thought the 6230i was a good solid phone, but in many ways it was inferior to the 7600 – it was a tad slower (not sluggish in anyway) and the screen was smaller. I don’t know what it was, but the 6230i didn’t seem as intuitive as the 7600. The 7600 was perfect apart from slightly odd keyboard. I have owned SonyErricson, Samsung and other main brands and never really got on with them – they never seem to “just work”.... never have the nice little touches Nokia have. That’s why many people stick with Nokia’s.
Problem is that many new nokia’s have fallen short of what made them great recently, so was a bit apprehensive about getting the 6233. However the phone is nice…. Actually very nice! I love how the phone works – It feels great to use. The only blotch is the camera – it does not look largely better than the camera on my 7600 – in fact in some poor lighting it looks terrible (outside shots are fine). If you want camera go for a Sony! But the Video beats any Sony to pulp – its fantastic.
Here's some well lit pics
Indoor under kitchen light...
... and a low light one!
Another great function is the music player – the speakers are the best I’ve used in a phone – its so loud and got decent bass for its tiny size… its also stereo!
Anyway what do you all think of phone?
