The 6230 is one of the handful of small Nokia phones which feature Bluetooth. It is also one of the first group of handsets which have EDGE support - allowing for download speeds 4 times greater than GPRS. Also, the data synchronization capability allows users of the Nokia 6230 to update personal data remotely over the network. Local synchronization of personal data can be done via Bluetooth, IrDa, or USB with the Nokia PC Suite.

In addition to enjoying high quality stereo music, music enthusiasts can set their favourite music as wake-up tones as well as alert and ring tones. There is also a FM stereo tuner built-in.
