Nokia 6233: overview, features, comparisons and reviews

At the time of release, this phone was able to become one of the best on the market. This is because the device has very interesting characteristics. Nokia 6233 is not a smartphone, it works on Symbian. The operating system does not allow the use of programs from other developers. Perhaps, this is the main drawback. However, no restrictions are imposed on Java applications. Therefore, we can say with confidence that the phone, although not the best in terms of capabilities, but it is fully expandable (it has an impressive memory, supports memory cards and has an excellent screen).

The Nokia 6233 looks very impressive, beautiful and presentable. This is noted by many of its users. In fact, the exterior is made in classical tones and shapes. Framing of plastic parts of smoky color is made of real metal. The back of the case is plastic, but it feels like rubber to the touch. It is spoiled slightly: fingerprints practically do not remain, and if traces appear, you can wipe them without banal fatty divorces.

Sound

The Nokia 6233 speaker is stereo. When playing music, the sound is similar to the one given by the radio or radio. The sound is strong enough; Headphones also do not disappoint. For its price category, this is the main advantage of the device.

The interior of the notes and cases is quite adequate and understandable. Engineering calculator. It can calculate cosines, tangents, cotangents, sinuses, roots and produce other mathematical calculations. A timer and a stopwatch are also available.

In addition to the listed sections, it is necessary to separately allocate separately the issue of synchronization with the PC. You can connect to the computer using the appropriate cable, via Bluetooth or using the infrared port.

Software

The design of the Nokia 6233 is somewhat similar to that of the S60. The screen loaded with the start of the phone, there are no shortcuts, in addition, the date with the clock is different.

To bring up the settings, just press the button of the joystick, which is located in the center. Icons of most applications are animated. In addition, you can find functions such as an alarm clock, stopwatch, timer, calculator, calendar, etc. There is also a converter and world time.

The address book can include no more than 500 numbers. For each subscriber you can put your own melody.

There are practically no games on the device. Installed one game under the guidance of Java, the second - flash.

Nokia 6233, the firmware of which is easily changed and updated, judging by the feedback of users, it works stably and rarely fails.

Multimedia

The phone has a player, quite convenient and easy to use. Equalizer is also installed, customizable at the discretion of the user. There is one "but", which refers to the "native" player. He does not recognize Russian letters, instead of them squares or hieroglyphs are shown.

The headset that comes with the kit does not leave positive or negative emotions. They are rather neutral: this is something between the "Chinese" and the better option.

Music (both player and radio) can work in the background. But to read the book through the phone and listen to the songs at the same time will not work, because the program will automatically pause the playback when you enter the application.

The recorder can record several hours. And, like in other Nokia models, every minute it makes a sound, notifying about the recording.

The camera is installed with an extension of 2 megapixels. There are no flashes, effects too. It is possible to turn on the night shooting mode and process a series of frames. Also, the sound is turned off, which is very useful when using a "hidden" camera. It is logical that the quality of the resulting images is not impressive. Professional videos will not work either. Therefore, the camcorder is more suitable for removing key moments in a trip or on a holiday - the main event will surely not pass by then.
