Though not yet available in the market yet (est. release will be the 2nd quarter of 2006), the Nokia 6233 is a looker.

And the highlights?

– A 2 megapixel camera with 8x smooth, digital zoom (in landscape mode on a large QVGA display)

– video playback for 3GPP, H.263 video, MPEG-4, and AMR (say phonecasting!)
– bluetooth, IR, USB
– microSD memory expansion card that supports up to 1GB (mine has 256MB now and I only have about 10 mp3 loaded in it so far)
– supports SMTP, POP3, and IMAP4 protocols for mobile email
– GPRS, TCP/IP, EDGE* Class 10 (4+1, 3+2) speeds up to 236.8 kbps of data transfer

Hi!. :)
I’m thinking about dropping TracFone and going with T-Mobile. I’m
looking at a Nokia 6233 for my Grandpa. My only problem is that my
Grandpa is a little hard of hearing and can’t hear some of the ring
tones that are on some cell phones. He had a Nokia 5180ip and couldn’t
hear it half the time.

I got him a Nokia 1100, it was a little better but not much. I then
got him a Nokia 2600 and there was one ringtone on it that was pretty
good for him and he could hear it pretty well. Forget the vibrate
function. They all suck equally in all cell phones.

Does anybody know if the Nokia 6233 is as loud as the Nokia 2600? Or
can the ring tone be put through the speakerphone on the Nokia 6233 to
be really loud like the Nextel junk?

I need something really loud for him. The 6233 has all the bells and
whistles he wants. He’s not really old, just can’t hear crap.

He’s pretty well set on the 6233

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
