■ Overview of the
functions of the phone
The Nokia 6230 phone provides
many functions that are practical for
daily use, such as a calendar, a clock,
an alarm clock, a radio, a music
player, and a built-in camera. Also, a
range of Nokia Xpress-on
covers is available for your phone.
Some functions are
• EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for
GSM Evolution), see ”(E)GPRS” on
page 41.
• Multimedia card to extent the
memory capacity of your phone
to store pictures, video clips, for
example.
Shared memory
The following features in this phone
may share memory: contacts, text,
chat and multimedia messages, emails, voice tags and SMS
distribution lists, calendar, to-do
notes, and Java games and
applications, and note application.
Using any such features may reduce
the memory available for any
features sharing memory. This is
especially true with heavy use of any
of the features (although some of
the features may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted
to them in addition to the amount of
memory shared with other features).
For example, saving many java
applications, etc., may take all of the
shared memory and your phone may
display a message that the memory
Keep all miniature SIM cards out of
the reach of small children.
The SIM card and its contacts can
easily be damaged by scratches or
bending, so be careful when
