The 6234 is Vodafone’s first exclusive handset from Nokia, and Vodafone is quite proud of that 
fact. The handset is being touted as an easy to use ‘classic’ with stylish and compact design and indeed it does look sleek and minimalist.
The basic candybar design, all in shiny or matt silver on the front, suggests simplicity. Certainly the large number keys, big and easy to use navigation button, and (extremely small but well spaced) softkeys and call and end keys are easy to find and hit. Most impressive, perhaps in design terms, is that the 6234 is similar in proportions to a Windows Mobile Smartphone. With dimensions of 108 x 46 x 18mm and weighing in at 110g, the 6234 is evidence that the days of chunky 3G handsets are behind us.
Vodafone’s screen overlay isn’t to my liking, though. I just don’t feel at home with the graphic design, and the same applies to the main menu area. If you already use a handset with the Vodafone look and feel, things will be familiar, but if you are more used to the standard Series 60 way of presenting things, you may, like me, feel Vodafone’s design is not what it could be.
Verdict
If you are looking for a small format 3G handset, don’t need a lot of internal memory or superb quality audio output, and wouldn’t mind a fair quality camera into the deal, then the 6234 is a reasonable choice. There are some neat touches like the noted Nokia Wireless Presenter software, and the presence of infrared as well as Bluetooth. It’s just too bad about the minimal internal memory and absence of a front facing camera, though. TrustedReviews - Nokia 6234 - 3G Handset
