Release Year: 2005 | Release Price: 350 EUR
About: The Nokia 3230[1] is a Symbian Series 60 smartphone announced on November 2, 2004. It was billed as the first Series 60 phone aimed at the mass-market rather than the higher-end Series 60 devices with a relatively low cost of 350 euros when released in Q1 2005.This phone was designed as a replacement for two previous youth-oriented Nokia phones – the Nokia 3660 Series 60 smartphone and the Nokia 3220 feature phone. No variant of this phone was released for the United States market.
It runs on Series 60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Version 2.1), based on Symbian OS 7.0s.

The Nokia 3230 is one of the first with Push to Talk over Cellular (PoC), a walkie-talkie style method of communicating, and also Visual Radio, which enhances a normal radio receiver with extra info about artists and songs delivered over GPRS.
For data transfer, the phone can use EDGE to upload up to 35.2 kbit/s and download up to 178.6 kbit/s, and is a GPRS multislot class 10, up to 80 kbit/s.
Known issues
It has been frequently reported that fine dust get into the space between the LCD screen and the transparent plastic cover. The dust can be manually removed by opening the plastic case.[4]In common with many phones of this type, the battery life is not as much as you would expect on older models of phones. Less than 2 days is typical whereas older ‘mono screen’ phones can often manage a week between recharging.
Users also reported that before the call ringtone sound, the 3230 would give a loud “beep” sound, with no way to turn it off or control its volume. The device would beep even on silent mode. This issue was most common in the early models of the phone.
Other users have reported slow response times for the camera, sudden screen blackouts and random reboots.
