Nokia 6300

Advantages: Slim and sleek, easy to use
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I got my new Nokia 6300 just over a month ago so I feel its enough time of using it to write a review. I had been due an upgrade of my phone but hadn't really seen anything I fancied until I saw someone who had this phone and I really like the design of it. I've had Nokia's for years (my last one was the 6230i) and so am able to find my way around them. I rang Vodafone and they said I could have it free on upgrade and so I jumped at it. **The design ** I think the phone looks really slick. The dimensions are aprx 10.5cm x 4.5cm x 1.5cm. The screen is 4.5cm x 3.5cm. The top part of the phone (3/4 of it) is black which has the screen in it and 5 keys to make call and access the menu. The number keys at the bottom are silver and flat. It was easy to put the sim and battery in, and the back cover came off much easier than...

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Looks great, easy to use, nice big screen, usual Nokia features
Disadvantages: None so far...!

...Ok, firstly I admit I am a dedicated Nokia fan. But that doesn't cloud my judgement - at Christmas I tried the Nokia N73, but found this a bit too big and bulky and found some of the keys a bit uncomfortable to use. My previous models have been the 6230 & 6230i. I tried out a Samsung E900 last month, but couldn't adapt to that and vowed to stick to my faithful Nokia's... So...I have been waiting for weeks to get my hands on the Nokia 6300. Finally receiving it as a free upgrade from Orange last week, I am not disappointed. Even on a £25 a month tariff, this phone was free, which isn't the case with all networks. If you're considering Orange, it's worth checking out their online tariffs as these tend to be better than instore or on the phone... The Nokia 6300 looks fantastic. Most of the casing is stainless steel and there is...

Review of Nokia 6300

The Nokia 6300

Advantages: Light weight, and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor battery life and voice dialing

...The Nokia 6300, a classic beautifully finished sleek stainless steel design. This phone is both slim and elegant, is easy to use as Nokias normally are. It comes with a built in MP3 player, expandable memory, a reasonable quality 2 megapixel camera and other great features. This phone does not have 3g and is not a smartphone, it is a nice sized phone, slim at only 11.7mm thick and weighs in at 91g. The screen is a 2 inch tft 240 x 320 pixel display with about 16.5 million colours. The key pad is a decent size and has a 5 way navigation button, unless you have fat fingers then the key pad can be quite tricky, as you tend to press two numbers at once. It has a mp3 player and an FM radio feature. For radio use you have to hook upto external speakers or headphones to use. If you like your music then you need to expand...

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Nice looking phone, easy to use
Disadvantages: Poor camera, slow loading from SD card

...I had this phone on contract with Vodafone. I bought it because it was a reasonably priced, and at the time, it was a pretty good phone compared to others of a similar price. The phone overall was fairly good, it was very easy to use, easy to text and easy to call people and I found the keypad a nice reasonable size. I did have problems with the camera. It is supposed to be a 2 million pixel camera, and even when it was set on 2mp, I think it was more like a VGA camera quality. This phone has a mini SD card slot, and I had a 256mb sd card in there all the time. Unfortunately, I had a problem with loading files from the card. Even if it was a small file, it would still take a long time to load. I had to get rid of this phone after I dropped it on concrete. A connection inside the phone broke, and it would have cost more than...

Review of Nokia 6300

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Easy to use, large screen, excellent speaker phone, strong/durable
Disadvantages: Poor battery life.

...I love this phone. The phone is easy to use and navigate around. It isnt as advanced as some of the latest models and ipod phones but its easily the best mobile I have owned to date. It has a changable micro SD card which I currently have a one gigabite card in the phone, which stores enough information for me including many ring tones and photgraphs. The phone has a yahoo internet web browser built in, it can be a little slow when trying to download pages but the large screen makes up for this making the web pages more easy to view/read. It comes with plenty of optional settings and applications including a 2 megapixel camera but I must point out that the battery life is pretty poor. If I charge the phone in the morning it can be difficult to get 24 hrs out of the battery if you text in the day or make a few short calls, so I always...

Review of Nokia 6300

Nokia 6300 silver black

Advantages: radio, 2mp camera, mp3 player,
Disadvantages: no flash on camera, not a lot of internal memory

...a compatible headset or enhancement must be plugged into the phone for it to be able to work as a radio, as this provides the antenna. I found this a bit frustrating at first, as it means having to remember to take the headset out with you, if you intend to use the phone for the radio. ***music player*** One of the major features of any phone that I buy must be the music player, as it is one of the principle ways in which I use my phone, second only to texting constantly! The quality of the loudspeaker is very good, and the music is organised into many categories, such as artist, album, recently played, recently added, etc. This allows you to easily browse through music files, which I find very useful. ***camera*** The nokia 6300 has a 2mp camera. In comparison with my previous phone, the quality so far is amazing, as my old mobile was...

Nokia 6300-A Classic

Advantages: Very slick, easy to use
Disadvantages: Finish gets grubby

...My Motorola K1 recently gave up the ghost, and as I'm on Pay-As-You-Go, I had to go and buy a new phone. I shopped around, and found that the Vodaphone store was doing the Nokia 6300 for £80, which was quite reasonable. The phone is very slick looking, with it's aluminium and black lacquer finish. There is a slight downside to the black lacquer, and that is that it gets mucky quite easily, but is easily cleaned with a cloth. The screen is large and bright, and the buttons are all well lit apart from the central select/arrow keys bit. But that is nicely raised, so you can feel it in the dark. The menu system is wonderful after the clunky old Motorola one, very easy to navigate and it looks good too. The phone's features are also good for the price, as it is quite small yet holds a 2 Megapixel camera, music player, memory...

Review of Nokia 6300

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Slim design
Disadvantages: Not aimed at anyone. Battery life

...I've had this phone for almost half a year and I am already bored. Its a good phone but ive had older phones which are better then this one. Many people say its heavy but in my opinion I think it is quite light . You can get it in three colours (Black, Silver or Red- according to nokia website) but i think there are other colours available. Its small but the keyboard is the right size and not too small. I have no problem creating texts or dialling numbers. It can get really cold since its made of steel but that's not really a problem for me. The screen has a high quality and the speed of the phone is average. The internet may take up to 2 minutes to load a page, which is annoying. The camera is satisfactory and the more zoom the blurrier the picture gets but otherwise it can be pretty impressive. The memory is very poor and but i...

Review of Nokia 6300

Nokia 6300

Advantages: Good design, easy to use, slim
Disadvantages: slippery body, battery talktime and standby time is poor

...I think i had used at least 5 differnt nokia phones. nokia have a pretty solid quality to all of their phones. This one is no exception, great sound and image quality, but one thing is slight on the negative side is the battery time. The talk time and the standby time is not as long as the others. Overview, it's a great phone, stylish and slim. The camera is 2 MP but gives a clear image as compared to other 2MP camera phone. The sound quality is good when the mobile is new, but as I used this mobile, there was a fall in the sound quality. The size is good though but the body is slippery. It slips down from the hand very easily hence gives scratches to body. But overall the mobile is easy to use and I can recommend people to buy this phone. Which is not too expensive as compare to its features, and looks....
