Important Note for the Publisher: The term "Nokia 23" is likely a typo for the Nokia 2.3. There is no standard model known simply as "Nokia 23." I have written this post assuming you mean the Nokia 2.3, but I have kept the title flexible. If you are referring to the older Nokia 230, you will need to adjust the firmware details slightly.
