Good: Quality look and feel, nice screen, good Web capability, Symbian OS
Bad: Dreadful (near useless) mp3 player sound quality, silly beep before ringtones, a bit slow, feature list padded out with frivolous novelty or network u
Comment: The 3230 is a missed opportunity by Nokia to make an excellent phone whose abilities match it's quality look and physical feel. The longer I own this phone the more disappointed in it I am. The (mono) mp3 player in particular is an utter disgrace, it's painful to listen to it as distorts so much. The user interface could do with some improvement too. Personally I'm not fond of having no option but to assign all manner of application shortcuts to various buttons and joystick actions. As for the beep (you can't switch it off) that goes off two seconds before the ringtone when receiving a call/message... Nokia, what were you thinking?

Good: mp3 and fm radio
Bad: design, battery life, camera
Comment: battery life is poor, camera isn't great, doesn't fit into some of my pockets but at least it has an mp3 player and radio.
overall not bad, but not great either, there are other phones out there that does a lot better job in the same price range

Bad: Nothing (Yet?)
Comment: Excellent phone showing that Nokia can make a smartphone that didn't come from another planet!
