Hmm.. symbian OS also does not mean everything. We got this symbian virus and this apps will piss you off in case you have many apps installed in your phone.
The selection of phone should be purely based on it's merit and features which you look forward in that particular phone. In case i like widescreen then i should go for 7710 instead of 6680, even incase i am able to afford it.
6230i got small screen size but it got a better resolution than other series 40 phones (208 x 208 pixels against 128 x 128 pixels). Features wise also both the phones got almost no difference.
See the
advantage of 6230i over 3230:
- compact and sleek (when compared to 3230)
- fast processor (3230 got a slow processor)
- has support for pop-port support (so data-cable can be used)
- Better battery than 3230 or atleast not less than 3230's battery. It got a "BL-5C" type battery which is present in phones like 1108/3315 etc.. so it's better than 3230's "BL-5B"
- Got USB "plug and play" port so u can connect to ur USB port of computer. This feature is absent in 3230.
- Better screen resolution compared to 6230i even though it's small.
- Supports more audio formats
Now see the
advantages of 3230:
- Symbian
- bigger screen
- more games and apps
- Games playing via BT
- Video recording
So it's upto you to decide which one to go for.
As for me, i like symbian OS phones but when it comes to 3230 versus 6230i I would prefer 6230i
