using a Torx T6 you can open the Nokia 6230 by removing 6 screws on
the frontside.

then the PCB can simply be taken off. here's the backside.

Andreas Toenne asked in cs15uc$2sg$02$1@news.t-online.com whether
one can remove the camera module and whether then the mobile
still works. this can be useful if want to take your mobile
legally to sensitive places, where cameras are banned.
one can quite simply remove the camera module -
it is locked by 3 snap-in locks, two on the lower side, one at
the upper side of the module in the following pic.

Now the test:

the Nokia6230 works fine without camera module (I didn't test each
and everything, but a phonecall worked)
if you select the camera menu you get an error message (not shown)
and then this:

"Standby" as in "lying around nearby" ;)

the test was done with a german O2 firmware on the 6230.

chipset

my curiosity still wasn't satisfied, and I tried to identify the
chipset. here's a closeup of the digital part.

    I assume this is the EDGE/GPRS/GMS baseband processor (which is
    a wild guess from its name). I only found one russian site referring "TIKUEDGE".

    let me know in case you know more details or can translate the pages
    to something more of a lingua franca.

I didn't google for the devices yet - let me know if you have some news.
