Nokia 6233

I had this phone for about a month now, currently its a great buy for Under £150 in most places and can be bought for around £130. Before I even start reviewing the phone, I will have to warn buyers that this phone is locked on most networks in the UK and uses a new network lock (so called BB5). Unlocking remotely via codes is not possible unlike in older nokia's (6230 and 6230i being its predecessor). The only way to unlock at the moment is to contact the network to lift the restriction and this will usually set you back around £15. So please choose the phone on the network of your choice.

The Nokia 6233 has a 2 megapixel camera which does take very nice, clear shots. It is a little awkward to use and the phone has to be held sideways and the button is positioned to enable that. The camera features allow you to make your photographs black and white, sepia toned and negative colourings. It automatically takes advantage of any light available, which is helpful for pictures taken at evening but they are not of very good quality. The video recording facility is a little pointless in that you can only shoot about 60 seconds worth of video and it is a little grainy. The sound quality ... more

I chose this phone when i upgraded my contract with 02. I chose it because it wasn't a series 60 phone like the N73. The Series 60 phone is good, but i don't like it, its too complicated. This phone however is very easy to use and all the features can be accessed very quickly. I would recommend this phone to people that like to listen to music without their earphones in. If you turn the equalizer up buy on notch on each, the phone overpowers anything without any loss in the quality, however if the equalizer is set any higher the quality does deteriorate. Amazing screen quality, even with only ... more

Thought I’d have another go at writing a review and seeing as I love my Nokia 6233 I thought it would make a great subject. Firstly I should point out that I have the white version which when I got it about 6 months ago was only available from Orange in white. What comes in the box ****************************** 1) Your phone 2)Nokia headset, sound/volume control and an easier to press answer button 3) A new style battery 4)Nokia Charger , which I should point out had a smaller end than the older ones so you would need to look after it as you can’t use your old ones. 4)64 mb memory card, 5) ... more

The first phone I ever owned was a Nokia. As was the second. I then went to a Motorola. Only then did I realise how good Nokia's truly were. Too many phones flood the market these days, with promises of the latest thing, whether it be more mega pixels, better sound quality or the latest games. The Nokia 6233 has everything I would ever want as your general, run-of-the-mill human being. I like to text. I like to make phone calls. I occasionally look at things online, and take the odd photo. The main pros are that the menus are clear, and I find I am quickly able to get to writing a message ... more
