feature packed, but not perfect

Nokia has tiny new phone that will be arriving in US stores in a few weeks. The 6230 is small — like Sony Ericsson T610 small — and somehow Nokia manages to pack in even more gadgetry goodness. In fact, they've packed so much into this tiny phone we hardly know where to start. It's got Bluetooth, Infrared and a pop-port for connectivity. There's a VGA camera that can record video clips up to four minutes in lenght. Even better, Nokia squeezes in an FM radio and an MP3/AAC player, rounding out its multimedia skills. All the features work reasonably well, but a few shine, like Bluetooth which is easier to setup and use than on most other phones.

The features may have you drooling, but the style isn't quite as infallible. Sure it's small and the keys are big, but Mobile Burn doesn't like the feel of the keys, supersize or not. We like size and smooth design, but Mobile Burn thinks it's boring. We both agree on one thing: it looks better in black. (Doesn't just about everything?)
