The main problem with 3230 is that the messages cannot be saved on Memory card. It is not a big issue otherwise but it causes a big problem in following situation :
-When Recieving files on bluetooth that cannot fit in the phone memory
eg. Mp3, Movie clips etc.
I used this cell almost for 6 months with this restriction util i accidently came across this superb mini application called MsvDriveE.sis
This works as follows :
1)There is a file called msgs.ini in the data folder of phone memory which has settings of Message application like storage path etc.
2)Initially the message storage path is C:\ that is the phone memory but when this application is run it edits this file and changes the path to E:\ or the memory card.
3)From now on the messages are stored in your memory card.
Precautions to be taken before running this application :
-Copy the c:\system\mail to E:\system\mail
Because when message storage path is changed the message box will be empty and you will loose all the existing messages.
Limitations :
-Bluetooth transfer may slow down because memory card is used instead of phone memory (Accessing memory card is slower than Phone memory)
Download This Application :

Virus on my s60 3230 symbian , Hard Reset Phone
A Virus creeped into my phone one day, and hell he changed the whole language of my phone to hebrew. Also any programs didnt open. I could see that software installed on my cell in the Application manager. I tried to uninstall but it didnt work, it still remained.
Last thing i wanted to do was Reseting my phone. Still i went for it as no other trick worked for me. I did a SOFT RESET :
By dialing : *#7370#
A more powerful Soft reset can be done by dialing : *#7780#
Everything came to normal- the theme, empty phonebook, empty messages
Except the Virus still remained in the phone memory installed !
My phone still remained in hebrew language.
Creating a backup of phone memory, reseting and restoring backup also didnt work as it reinstalled the virus.
The last option that worked for me was HARD RESET
It can be done in following ways :
1)Turn off ur phone
2)Press and hold the following three buttons (At once)
-Call Answer button (Green)
-The * button
-The 3 number button.
3)With all these 3 keys pressed Turn on the phone (Press Turn on button and leave it when phone starts but dont leave these 3 keys until u get a message saying "Formatting")
4)You will see the progress in formatting and when it becomes 100% the phone will restart.
5)Now it will be a all new showroom piece :)
After this hard reset the phone became all new with no vulnerabilities in it.
