Nokia 6230 Bluetooth Mobile/Cell Phone
As I mentioned in a previous post, I got a new phone before I left Australia, the Nokia 6230. I got it because it had Bluetooth, took video and photos, and was tri-band (so it would work in Australia and the US). Unfortunately, because I am on a pre-paid T-Mobile, I don't have access to data or multimedia messaging, so it limits the cool things that I can do with my phone, but it still rocks, and is way ahead of most of the handsets available here, which was a bit of a surprise.
Some of the cool things that I like being able to do with my phone;
- Take a photo and then Bluetooth it to my iPAQ for editing, saving etc
- Dial a number on my phone, directly from my iPAQ
- Synch the Contacts (phone numbers etc) from Outlook on my PC, across to my phone - I always have every number I know about on hand now
- Use the loudspeaker/speakerphone - it's surprisingly useful
- Take photos to use for my wallpaper!
- Play mp3s - can't help it on that one, had to add it :)
So basically, I think it was a great purchase. Being stuck on T-Mobile (because they are the only ones I can find here that will allow me to bring my own handset, and use their SIM), and paying a fair bit for my calls sucks, but it's bearable to keep using the phone, 'cause it's so much better than the other stuff around here (and I paid for it outright man, I'm not going to retire it already!).
If you're looking for a nice-sized, sturdy, full-featured phone for use in Asia, Australia or America, then the Nokia 6230 is your man :)
