Nokia 6230i

The Nokia 6230i (codenamed Matrix) is a mid-range feature phone that was announced in January 2005 and released in February of the same year. It is the improved version of the Nokia 6230.

It was available in Silver Gray, Black, and White.

Differences between 6230 and 6230i

 * Larger and higher resolution display (208x208 over 128x128), but the same chipset, meaning the UI is overall significantly slower
 * Raised confirm button on the D-pad, making it easier to press without accidentally pressing the directional navigation keys too. The 6230 and 6230i's keypads are cross compatible, so this change can be brought over to the original 6230.
 * 1.3 megapixel camera over the VGA camera of the 6230
 * Slightly improved user interface with new icons
 * Slightly improved music player with playback buttons
 * Visual Radio added to FM Radio (a first in a Nokia Series 40 phone)
 * USB Mass Storage feature, lets you access the memory card as a USB Flash Drive on a computer (This is the first Nokia phone to have this feature)
 * JSR-184 support for 3D Java games and 3D screensavers. (a first in a Nokia Series 40 phone)
 * Push-to-talk feature
