Although it's questionable how more than one can be your best
friend, unfortunately, the 6230 does not allow you to use more than
5 different ring tones. I would love (!) to be proven wrong!

Bit of a bugger, really. Just having 5 groups.
Even the 3200, 6600 and 3650 one can assign a different tone to EACH caller.

Maybe Nokia will release a fix for this with a later software release??
Doubtful, but would be nice.

Well they have just released a further firmware upgrade for the 6230.

Mentioned earlier in this ng.

If the clip is already in MP3 format you just need to transfer it to
the phone and assign it as a ringtone using the 'Tones' menu in the
phone.
