The Nokia 6300 is a mid-range model that represents an evolution of the modern monoblock design. As far as the appearance is concerned, I must say the 6300 is quite stylish. It’s a neat blend of black colored plastic and a shiny stainless steel battery cover. Basically, something that will not embarrass you every time you bring it out for a chat. (Showoffs may even have some fun being over the phone all the time). At 106.4 x 43.6 x 13.1mm, it’s slim enough. And it is quite light too at 90 grams. If you are shifting from one of the bulky ones, the 6300 will feel like your head does after shaving that 3-year-old long mane. It’s light, people!
The 6300 is surely an attempt to launch sleek phones as an affordable commodity. The result is simple. Here we have a dashing phone with a lot in common with a lot of other successful phones in the market, but sadly enough, not much new to offer. The 6300 it seems is a phone with a little bit of everything thrown in. It does nothing new from let’ say the 6280, it just does it better.

Nokia 6300 is good, Slim and slick, sharp color screened and easy-to-use keypad. It has a strong casing, a decent all-round feature set and an elegant, straight forward design. Looks and design wise this is Nokia at its best. Nokia 6300 Prepay Mobile Phone on T-Mobile Sim Free Mobile Phone. It is an excellent phone with very clear camera and good sound quality. The 6300 feels very solid, made from a combination of tough stainless steel covers and glossy, expensive black plastic. Nokia 6300 is hard but slim 12mm deep. It is comfortable to carry in a jacket or trouser pocket and unlike other metallic handsets it does not feel that heavy. Like an impeccably tailored suit, the Nokia 6300 is perfectly proportioned, always in style, but best appreciated for its attention to detail. The Nokia 6300 has been developed for consumers who want a mobile phone that offers an uncompromised set of features with highly desirable, sophisticated design.

The clean lines and recessed buttons of the Nokia 6300 are highlighted by a stainless steel frame that adds both design interest and strength. In addition to its organic curves and appealing design, the Nokia 6300 offers a robust range of easy-to-use features, including a 2 megapixel camera with zoom, expandable memory, built-in MP3 player and FM radio. Everything is displayed on a crisp, detailed screen which brings applications like an Opera Mini Browser or games like Sudoku and Snakes III to life. Nokia 6300 has 320×240-pixel color screen which displays up to 16 million colors and is good for viewing photos, watching videos and reading emails or text messages. The Nokia 6300 has keypad with large keys very easy to use. The four-way navigation key above the keypad feels a little on the thin side and is little uneasy to press. The bottom of Nokia 6300 has a small charging port that fits the 2.5mm headphone jack, a new Nokia chargers and a mini-USB port that lets you connect the 6300 to your PC that means no need of Nokia USB cable. One very beautiful feature is the blue lights on either side of the 6300, which glow when you have an unread text message. Looks like Nokia is finally getting back to what it used to do best, creating a phone does just what you want and does it well.

I beg to differ. I have a Nokia 6300 and yes its stylish with great screen call quality is good and usability is great and its built to last. But. The battery life is pants its not very good at getting a signal at times the camera is rubbish and so on. Its been reliable but nothing more. The 6280 had a far better more clearer camera and vga video. Need i say more.

I think you're pretty much spot on there, I have a few workmates who have this phone and the batterylife particularly is a real issue. The casing seems to scratch very easily as well making one of the phones in particularly look many years old rather than months old.

The 'review' reads more like a piece of marketting from Nokia...

Yes its proved very popular this phone but its got its problems. Mine has latest software and while its been mostly reliable every now and then in the middle of an internet or email it turns off screen goes white and and comes back on 5 seconds later. I think thin phones are having problems from what i hear. 2 other issues i have with these Nokia phones is 1: When you try to change standby font colour it never changes and also words never save in the phone when its not in T9. When you put your own in it never saves them. I cant wait to get rid of this phone will be upgrading soon. Like i said build quality call quality easy texting and great screen and ease of use. Thats it. Sorry Nokia you can do better im going back to SE.

Must admit I'm an SE guy but my wifes got two of these, one supplied to her through work and the other her personal phone on PAYG and she swears by them. Battery lifes average she gets 2-3 days, screen and build quality exceptional, camera poor but for a phone that now retains in the UK for around £60 - £80 on PAYG I'd say that was pretty good.

Yes the price is good now for what you get. Battery life is ok if you mainly stick to texting and the odd call. Use for long calls and internet forget it. If you use internet and long calls it wont last the day trust me and whats worse is its not even 3G. Yes you can see the difference in screen quality with the 16 million colours but i would soon rather have 262,000 colours and better battery life. SonyEricsson can manage it why not Nokia. For the price its probably the best cheap phone around at the moment if you want QVGA screen otherwise its lower resolution for the price.

I prefer 6120 over 6300. Even though its a symbian, its almost exactly as fast as 6300

Agree, my Nokia E51 is equally as fast as the 6300, symbian S60 phones seem pretty speedy now.
