TO ALL WHO OWN OR EXPECT TO OWN J230i . DESIGN FAULT ! I've bought this phone couple of months before and discovered below problem. When you set reminder for task or appointment, it rings with built in ring tone, which don't hear at all ! But vibrating. so if you are lucky you have a phone when it ringing. Otherwise you will miss the appointment or task TOO BAD ! (But alarm is ok. we can select alarm tone. at least I can wake up on time I thought this is a fault in my phone. So I've did the same in one of my friend's J230i, but result is the same. It will ring twice with small volume you can't hear at all. and blinking display for long time. So you have to watch your phone all the time or set vibrator and keep phone touching you all the time (even when you go to toilet and do the thing. you know.) WHAT A STUPID DESIGN ! So if you have this model. please check what I've said and post a comment. It will help lot of others. THANKS ! Was this review helpful? :: 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful.
