I had the 6230 (or whatever the one is with the circular dial). I actually still have it but it is dead.
First of all, the phone was a piece of junk.
After entering in a lot of contacts and using it for a week, it died one day. I would push the button to turn it on, and it would blink the nokia logo a few times, and then it would shut back off.
I called Tmobile and they told me to plug it in and charge it (duh) to make sure it wasn't a dead battery. So to appease them, I charged it.
It still didn't work (duh), so I called them back and told them.
They said they would send me a new phone (this was only 2 months old).
They sent me a battery.
So I called them and told them the new battery didn't work. So they sent me a new phone, and it worked.
Great, so I re-entered in my contacts. Guess what 1 week later it was dead again - blinking nokia logo then shutting off. Ugh. I haven't bothered to replace it.
Plus (and here's the real story) it wouldn't pair with my jabra BT headset.
Now my jabra BT headset worked about 25% of the time with my t68m. But it works 90% of the time with my Siemens S56, although I can't record voice-dial names with the BT headset.
It would pair with my pda and pc, though.
Nokia uses some sort of proprietary BT extensions. Michael has reported on this before.
I am considering whether the 6820 will meet my needs or not. I would like to know if Nokia has in general repaired their BT stack, and in specific if the jabra BT headset (I will be buying the new version since my old one's non-replaceable battery has died) will work with the 6820.
I prefer the jabra BT headset because I like that it's unobtrusive so it doesn't make me look like the worlds biggest dork (not the biggest at least), and that it's lightweight.
