I recently gave up struggling with the tired keypad on my middle-aged Siemens S45 handset and upgraded from a) Vodafone, which seems to work everywhere except in our house to Virgin which seems to work and b) to a Nokia 6230i.
The main thing I wanted was Bluetooth, because I wanted one of those cool Bluetooth headsets. It is cool, but it is pretty much a waste of money for use in the car, by the time you have found the headset and plugged it into your ear a caller will have long since given up so I wil go over to a proper car kit like I had for the Siemens.
What has been a surprise is the camera. I thought it was going to be totally useless, a camera phone was not what I was looking for, it was just a bonus. It turns out that it works rather well. Admittedly, if I had gone out and bought a camera which was 1 megapixel and fixed focus with no flash, I would have been very disappointed, but having the camera to hand I have started using it and the results are ok. Judge for yourselves though, here is my Nokia 6230i Photo Gallery

Yes pretty good. My phone is 1.3 megapixel and is pretty good too. All old hat now as Sony are now selling a “2 megapixel with autofocus and zoom” phone – the results are really good.
Very good! I still have an old Nokia as I have a fitted handsfree kit and can’t be arsed to changed it!
The K750i – that’s Ady’s latest toy, he got it this weekend and he’s dead chuffed with it.
I’m holding out for this one, which should be available pretty much with perfect timing for my free upgrade 🙂

That’s not bad at all. I can’t work out how to get mine off the phone, which is a bit dense of me.

Deepest apologies. Edited accordingly. 🙂
As to getting the pics off the phone, this is a Bluetooth phone so it networks itself to my PC.
Great picture of you Jax. xx
ooo very good pics. It is surprisingly handy having a camera on your phone.
