Please share your experiences to help other people choose the product that's best for them. This is a review site, not a forum, so please don't just ask questions. Please do not use swear words or offensive language, and please, no advertising! Reviewed by Sophie on 26/01/2010This phone is rubbish if you want to listen to music or anything out of the headphones, because after a few months the phone doesn't register that you have plugged in the headphone. Don't buy this phone, it's boring, rubbish and a waste of time. Rating: Reviewed by LF on 18/01/2010 this mobile is great! Nothing to complain :) I would not trade or change this mobile for any other even if it were better phones, nokia 6300 is surprisingly good and I never got dissapointed of this phone. :) Winrar, Mig33, Micro Counter strike, 50 3D games and much more stuff make this phone basically a portable pc Rating: Reviewed by G on 12/01/2010 well, had this 6300 phone for 3 yrs and very good indeed it is too! no complaints apart from would be better if battery last longer, which is why im finally thinking of upgrading, but to a similar model. this, hwever is good quality no nonsense phone, primarily for purpose of phoning people, being reliable and looking reasonably nice! it does these things very well! I think you should review what you said about the 6700 being great and reliable at the end of the 6300 review, in view of the huge numbers of customer complaints about its reliability! Rating: Reviewed by disgruntled on 10/01/2010 The phone was fantastic until i got over 1,000 msgs (inbox and sent items combined) the phone then proceeded to freeze every 2mins, it seems it cannot handle that many msgs and will never load them so i can delete them. nokia care centre very helpfully flashed the phone, conveniently losing all my contacts and msgs. 3 months later, it does it again! my old ericson had over 3,000 msgs in the inbox and never skipped a beat. Rating: Reviewed by Tiarnán on 10/01/2010 i own a 6300 and it's like a toyota hilux......indestructible i dropped it like 5billion times and it still works and it fell into a river and still works its an outstanding phone Rating: Reviewed by Tony Achum on 05/01/2010 Excellent phone. Its exquisite finish, durability, functions, and ease-of-use make it very very good. However the underside of the screen has the tendency to accumulate a lot of dust and dirt; I've not been able to clean it.

If Nokia Can fix this problem then 6300 will be their one of top mobiles.. Rating: Reviewed by Muris on 22/12/2009 I had my phone for 2 years now, and it is one of the best phones ever. I have lost it 3 days ago in the snow, it was frozen for 2 days and 2 nights at -22 degrees Celsius, but I found it two days later and defrosted it, cleaned, and it still works! Excellent phone!!! Rating: Reviewed by eM on 18/12/2009 This is the best phone I've had so far, i dropped it on tile accidently and it didnt break infact it was still in the same condition. I use this phone alot and it still works great, it hasnt even worn out so far either. As I said this is the est phone I've had so far.

I have had this phone for nearly 2 years and I don't want to part with it! Rating: Reviewed by me on 06/12/2009 not a bad phone because it is very durable however the camera isn't very good and you can't edit photos very well. For me it was pretty boring to use with no themes games or applications. i suppose it would make a good buisness phone though.

Rating: Reviewed by vanessa on 10/11/2009 This has been a great phone for me.Mine is a bit old now so i am going to trade it in,but I would definately reccommend it if you want a basic and reliable and strong phone .The camera is ok but not as good as it could be which is why i am upgrading to the 6303, and the video on it is really basic. Battery life has been ok for me. Rating: Reviewed by Neil on 07/11/2009 Im suprised to see so many people complain about the battery life. Not that I spend ages on calls but it has had a right hammering as a radio and MP3 playing for the last 2 years. 5 hours every day and on standby all day , it runs uncharged for 2 days. The headphones are a bloody Nokia blackmailing pain though. It will only accept Nokia made headphones. Its a good phone. Get a cover though. Protect that large screen. Rating: Reviewed by Yonas Tewelde on 06/11/2009 It's awesome.Great, but the batter need charging quickly.I need the battery to be strong.I hope you guys will help me. Rating: Reviewed by Reviewer on 03/11/2009 The Phone is good. It has everything except if you dont have the standard nokia headphones no other headphones work in it Rating: Reviewed by rod on 23/10/2009 i only use a phone of calling and a little texting . this is a great robust phone on my second one now , i work as a joiner and in contact whith dust every day even with a screen full of dust it still works perfect it was only when a van drove over it the button became sticky (naturley) but it still worked fine have this new one over 6 months now its had loads of drops and bangs and still great ,,just a gret phone!!!!!!!! Rating: Reviewed by Maz on 22/10/2009 Love the phone,easy to use etc, the only fault is the battery, it doesnt last long, but apart from that, its a great phone Rating: Reviewed by DIpendra on 20/10/2009 Nokia 6300 is a 2 megapixel phone,,one of the slimmest phone that nokia has ever made.It is light and useful one for all kinds of person.please know about it in detail in mobinepal.blogspot.com Rating: Reviewed by sachin on 13/10/2009 the best phone Rating: Reviewed by D.B.Vengeance on 12/10/2009 I think its good. Rating: Reviewed by Jaine D'Anton-Lord on 12/10/2009 19 days left ! and yeah the phone ,contract with Orange will be in the history file ........ Rating: Reviewed by Gerard on 09/10/2009 Good phone, very functional but have alot of problems with poor quality sound. When talking on the phone the person the other end sounds like they are rubbing there hand over the microphone. We have 6 of these phones on contract and they all do the same from time to time. Have had 2 replacements so far and all have the same problem. Now thinking of changing the phone so cannot recommend it. Looking at the other reviews it looks like we are the only ones experiencing this? any comments would be appreciated. Rating: Reviewed by Alis on 09/10/2009 I used to love this phone so much, but its a little over a year old and already I had to fix the power button, now the mic is gone so i have to fix that and the front cover came lose. Other than that a really good fone hard not to love Rating: Reviewed by shahid iqbal Qureshi on 06/10/2009 battery broblem with nokia 6300 last 2 year but no solution as yet Rating: Reviewed by clare on 27/09/2009 i have this phone.. it's alright. the camera isnt good, good sound though.. i know 4 people with it and all of theirs have broken, its stylish. the battery isnt good! Rating: Reviewed by Karlito on 26/09/2009 Solid, well made and serious looking phone for solid man Rating: Reviewed by David on 26/09/2009 I got one of these after my 6233 died (which I loved) as it is so similar I thought I'd love it. However, although it basically the same phone inside (apart from 3G) with the bonus of a screen that stays lit longer than 10 seconds (my main gripe about the 6233) I hate the keypad. I'm a texter mainly I personally find it really fiddly to text on this phone as the keys are much smaller, more "spongy" and I think more cheap feeling than the 6233 keypad which was larger and just felt far better in quality than this phones one. Rating: Reviewed by Rudie on 25/09/2009 Good phone - but do not buy this phone if you intend to use the MP3 player or the radio functions. I have owned two phones and on both the 2.5mm audio out does not work. Rating: Reviewed by belle on 24/09/2009 really basic and boring. saying it has a good MP3 player is a joke, when playing songs it just has a stupid little icon! rubbish camera aswell, really slow reactions. Rating: Reviewed by josh on 22/09/2009 great phone, terrible battery life. lasts 1 fay when videoing and surfing the web, but lasts maybe 2.5 days absolute max when used normally Rating: Reviewed by AndyA on 15/09/2009 Best phone I ever bought - does what a mobile phone should do - text and make and receive calls - with a camera and some other stuff thrown in as well - When my contract was up I got a Nokia 5800 - cumbersome and un-necessary - so sold it on EBAY and went back to my 6300 - Wife drowned it and it still works - all I want now is the Nokia 6303 :-) Rating: Reviewed by kurt on 14/09/2009 This phone is one of the best phones i have ever had its small but has everything u need in it the only problem is if you want to change the cover the microphone breaks very easy so i would buy the colour cover you want and stick with it. Rating: Reviewed by Charlotte on 13/09/2009 This phone is brilliant, i recently brought it after reading the reviews and am very pleased with it. I got it in black and it's really good looking and feels really good in your hands because it's nice and solid. It's easy to use. Camera is really good for 2mp! Battery life is good, super phone! 5 stars! Rating: Reviewed by waleed khan on 12/09/2009 i have been using it for 2 years and found it great..the only problem is its battery life and also the camera without flash which has poor indoor results... music player is great and all other features are average. Rating: Reviewed by Helen on 11/09/2009 I don't like this phone. The keys are small for texting and the bumps on the '5' key are almost too small to feel. After just over a year the keypad began to freeze at odd intervals, and the phone began crashing mid-call. (I don't use my phone that much either.) I also hate the fact that the predictive text memory is so small, i.e. if you enter a word that's not in the phone's dictionary, it will remember it, but it only has room for about six new words before it loses the oldest one. The screen is excellent but everything else drives me nuts. (I only use my mobile for calls and texts, so I'm not commenting on other features.) Rating: Reviewed by andrew bowater on 11/09/2009 I have one of these with an iphone 32gig too but i preffer this one so much Rating: Reviewed by Borie on 10/09/2009 I like Nokia 6300, it is simple and easy to use unlike other phones that are so complicated to use. The silver matte material makes it so elegant. Rating: Reviewed by pcman on 06/09/2009 good phone but you can not hear it ringing or receiving a txt when outside been back for repair with no joy !!!

This phone is very finger print prone. And more over its below average battery life and very low users memory makes it loose 2 stars.

Rating: Reviewed by iamkalive on 24/08/2009 great handset, When it was new. I've had my 2nd version of this phone for 1.5 years. the vibrator is the WORST now. my vibrator has completely died out. and battery last under 1 day, with very MINIMAL use.. 5-10 texts and a few phone calls. And the phone freezes lots these days..i'm getting sick of it now. time to get a new phone... Rating: Reviewed by manoj on 23/08/2009 one of the worst product from nokia, considering the pathetic battery life..have to charge my phone every 3 hours...and even after so many users highlighting this point, Nokia hasnt done anything to improve this model or appologise to the users...Its a shame for Nokia.. Rating: Reviewed by Adam on 20/08/2009 THis phone is very easy to use-it looks smart but the stainless steel back does get scratched a bit.There is a clear screen and good speaker. However the microphone in my phone has stopped workingm so i can't use the phone as a phone as nobody cN hear me speak on it. Overall a good value phone especially if you don't like touch screen mobiles Rating: Reviewed by zak on 18/08/2009 BEST HANDSET EVER!!!! Rating: Reviewed by arthur on 17/08/2009 very good from the east ham college Rating: Reviewed by Will on 15/08/2009 Very good phone, its nice, small, thin and light. i am a teenager and use it mostly for music. the sound quality is perfect with a loud speaker. the metal case makes it more durable and less prone to breaking if you drop it (i drop it alot and its still fine). i dont call people much but the texting is clear and fast because of a good sized keypad. the 2 let downs would be that compared to new phones the 2 megapixel camera isnt the best but still good for stills, and the battery doesnt last very long, especialy if your going to play musiic alot like me. very good phone, i recomend it Rating: Reviewed by Ben on 15/08/2009 Robust, feels like a sturdy phone (unlike platiky 6220 classic). Never had a problem. I'm a tradesman and drop it all the time. left it on the front lawn in the rain 2 nights ago. It was still on in the morning when i found it and hasn't stuttered at all.Brilliant Rating: Reviewed by someone on 13/08/2009 good phone and easy to use, would recomend to people Rating: Reviewed by Rachii on 13/08/2009 Had this phone for two years. First time it kept freezing and got progressively worse until just stopped working and managed to block my sim card. O2 were very good and sent out a replacement although was annoyed at loosing all 98 contacts >.< Nokia also replaced the phone free of charge. Another year later and the same problems are reoccuring. Everytime I text it starts to delete itself, frequently switches itself off and when it does it doesn't come back on again. Music player also frequently loses files or reports "no music files found" Fantastic phone if you want something very basic. My dad has one too and loves his. But for someone who addictively texts, the short battery life is annoying. Calls are clear enough. aluminium back panel is very strong and mine has relatively few scratches despite being dropped by butter fingers here. Other than the problems mentioned I loved this phone and move on purely because I don't find it that stylish and fancy th e new LG cookie. Would give this phone 3.5 for "very good" not quite "excellent" but there's no option for that so I'll round up to a 4. Rating: Reviewed by mel king on 12/08/2009 ok this phone is great it has good bluetooth and a good camera the noise can go mega loud! and it has a long battery life if you buy this fone i am sure ule love it its da best! Rating: Reviewed by alun gunter on 12/08/2009 My wife and I both own a 6300. We both agree! Even with the volume level set to maximum for incoming calls, we miss calls, because the ring tone sound is too quiet. Previously we had both owned much earlier nokia models without this problem. Also battery life is very poor. Is this technology progress? No! Not for the sound and battery life. Yes! for all the other features. Would I recommend this product to others? No! I would not. Because of the missed calls. Rating: Reviewed by bibi on 11/08/2009 this is the best phone i have ever had. cant ask for a better phone Rating: Reviewed by bharat on 09/08/2009 i purchased this handset on jan 09 but problem started within 8 months.display is very bright with high pixel so makes battery consumes quickly. memory limitations r there. display got burnedout just in the 8th month.please don't go for it. Rating: Reviewed by Sophie on 08/08/2009 This phone has been superb. It looks sleek & stylish, does everything right and is very user-friendly. Only problems are, the cameras not very good, and the battery life isn't great. The camera is only 2 megapixel, which takes pictures okay outside, but usually inside it's quite rubbish. And the battery life doesn't last a long time. But other than that, if your looking for an easy phone, not complicated, and does all your basic stuff like calling & texting, this phone is for you. :) Rating: Reviewed by Marthie on 07/08/2009 Wonderfull phone BUT.......... the speaker is to soft. You can't hear it rings if it is in your handbag or you are in a supermarket. That's really frustrated. The volume is fullblast. Rating: Reviewed by Jeff on 07/08/2009 Bought the 6301 a week ago. The UMA access to my T-Mobile @home network worked fine...until I upgraded the phone's firmware to v8.22. The UMA access instantly died. T-Mobile was no help whatsoever. Nokia asked me to send the phone in. So I've been without the phone for a week now. Lesson learned: Don't upgrade anything unless it's broken or it may break. Nokia should NOT allow this firmware upgrade to even be available. I'm still giving the phone 4 stars though...nice phone. Rating: Reviewed by Bartosz on 06/08/2009 I simply love the design of this phone, it's stylish and elegant. The best thing is that it offers all the funtions that I have ever needed for a phone to have, plus it's extremely easy to use. Simple - great. Rating: Reviewed by Lukee on 02/08/2009 I got my Nokia 6300 around Christmas 2007, and until today i've never had a major problem with it, not it has packed it, after me bashing it especially on the weekends, getting in touch with friends and the rest ;) Rating: Reviewed by Mr MooCow on 30/07/2009 Good phone - awful camera. Worth every peny though - and easy to use too. Rating: Reviewed by Natasha on 24/07/2009 I had this phone less than 2 weeks before i had to get it changed on contract. I could not use it to answer or make calls for more than 5 minutes as the speaker overheated and it became to hot to have near the ear or hold for that matter. I have ended up chaning to a nokia 6500 which is a far better phone. THe camera is very poor quality and the menus are not easily negotiated. i would not reccommend this phone to anyone. I wish i had paid attention to the reviews i read online and all them said about the overheating. DO NOT GET!! Rating: Reviewed by emma on 22/07/2009 this phone is good but a little too simple for me. very easy to use, good camera. a good first time phone. one trouble is a poor battery! otherwise, a good phone! Rating: Reviewed by mair on 20/07/2009 I have a nokia 6300 its the 3rd phone i have had and its the best yet if anything went wrong with mine I would by the same again which most proberly up graded. Fantastic recemended. Rating: Reviewed by Dal on 18/07/2009 This phone is outstanding, it's easy to use, easy to text, and has a good battery life. Compared to my previous phone which was a nokia also, it is much better. My old phone failed to have a camera, had a poor battery life and wasn't too desirable. Altogether i consider this phone to be something anybody would be happy with. Rating: Reviewed by ikos on 16/07/2009 I got given this mobile, and im into really expensive an good megapixel cameras, but this phones amazing, apart from the sim not working properly ( it needs a new one ) i would love to actually go in a shop an i probably will, to get a new one that no one has used. this mobiles amazing. id rate it 8 out of 10. Rating: Reviewed by Hesh on 16/07/2009 I've had this phone for about two months, apparently it was supposed to be good, the phone has packed up already, i treated it very well, although it seems to have a problem with memory/storage, when you fill up about 3/4 of the phone it just starts crashing, now my phone wont even go onto my contacts, my messages or my media files(pics, videos, music) infact it takes about 40 minutes for it to just turn on and it crashes in about 5 minutes, I am really disappointed as I did think this was a good phone up until this happened, I wouldn't recomend this phone because I have also read across a number of websites and it seems that alot of the people that have purchased this phone have encountered this unfixable problem! Rating: Reviewed by Rosie from UK on 16/07/2009 Don't waste your time. My Nokia 6300 packed up after a year, after freezing and being unable to receive texts. My boyfriend's is currently packing up with the same problems, and my fathers 6300 is showing the same symptoms. I don't even see this as a coincidence either! Excellent when its working, but not so excellent when don't have the money to shell out for a new one. Rating: Reviewed by Anna on 15/07/2009 It is a simple nokia with basic features and worked fine for about 6 months. Then the music player went wrong! When I click on a track it will take up to 3 minuets before it plays. The headphones will not connect either and so music will play out loud. I am very dissapointed by Nokia as i thought this phone looked like it was solid and reliable. I think this is proof of our throw away society! Rating: Reviewed by amara on 14/07/2009 i have this phone i like it alot simple to use loud music on it but the onbly thing i trouble is the button on the middle on the phone pretty hard but great phonee !! Rating: Reviewed by Borat on 14/07/2009 oh my god this phone is amazing! ive had the 6300 for almost a week now and so far its been better than all of my previous phones in all aspects! My last phone was a 6630 and i was quite pleased with it, but it always froze up on me. This never happens with my 6300. All in all this phone is a definate must-have item, if you can get it, get it! simply beautiful and beautifully simple, well done nokia!

Rating: Reviewed by 6300 on 10/07/2009 amazing - best phone i've ever had Rating: Reviewed by Rach on 09/07/2009 I loved this phone so much, all I do with a phone is talk and text, and this does that brilliantly. Superb keyboard and clear screen, good battery life and feels good in the hand. The only concern I had about it was how hot it got during lengthy calls. I'd still have mine now only I dropped it down the loo and have been forced into an upgrade to the 6220. Rating: Reviewed by Nick on 08/07/2009 Good programming and software but shocking screen. Mine broke 2 days later while it was in a case by sitting lightly on it and turned the whole screen black, don't buy it. Rating: Reviewed by Conroy on 07/07/2009 I've had LOTS of Nokia 'phones, and this 6300 is simply THE BEST. 1.User friendly.2.Easy. 3.User friendly. Only one drawback... the short battery life. Come on Nokia, PLEASE SORT OUT THE SHORT BATTERY LIFE OF 6300. Rating: Reviewed by HoppY on 06/07/2009 Had mine for coming up to 18 months now, just about to upgrade but only because I'm after a smartphone. Had I not wanted one of those, this phone would probably be still my 1st choice for years. Solid build quality, top notch user interface, bloody tough little thing as well, lost count of the times it slipped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor, absolutely no problems at all despite this. well recommended. Rating: Reviewed by Iain C on 01/07/2009 I was recommended the 6500c by orange as I needed long battery life above all else. No such luck there. And after a couple of months, it started to eat my address book. Luckily, all my contacts were still on the memory of my old phone, so I could do a 'Restore All' and a quick Sim Card switch to get them back again, but without the old phone, I'd have lost over 100 sets of details. Orange say it is a known problem, but there is no software solution.

Rating: Reviewed by unknown on 27/06/2009 this phone has served it's purpose for two years but the very thin screen makes it easy for any egeded object to scratch it, and it often refuses to charge and cuts out regularly. however, the loudness of the music is impecable and the format of the music player is easy to use. Rating: Reviewed by A. Summers on 26/06/2009 At first, I really liked N6300, but when I really needed it I run out of charge and then realized it wouldn't charge through my laptop USB. I immediately returned it and got a Sony Ericsson. Rating: Reviewed by mark on 26/06/2009 Again another Nokia that does not do what it says on the tin. Poor Signal and poor quality sound. Does not crash as often as most Nokias but has given up after 17 months of usage with front cover snapping off and buttons not working. At Least the last 4 Nokias i have had have not been any good Rating: Reviewed by thiru on 25/06/2009 it is the phone what i looked for and it is simply super in performance and the only draw back in this mobile is the heating effect of matted steel in backside when we use it for long time.other than that every feature of this device is excellent. Rating: Reviewed by R@FEEQ H@SS@N on 24/06/2009 ITS A GOOD MOBILE BUT IT IS COSTLY Rating: Reviewed by Ian on 19/06/2009 This phone is perfect. I had a Nokia 6100 for more than 6 years and the 6300 was a natural choice. If the 6300 lasts as long as my 6100 did I will be very happy indeed. Rating: Reviewed by Ram on 18/06/2009 PEOPLE, PEOPLE, FOR GIVE MORE POWER TO THE BATTERY LIFE JUST REPLACE THE BL-4C AND PUT A BL-5C ALMOST 5 FULL DAYS USING THE PHONE, AMAZING PHONE, AND DONT TELL ME IT DONT FIT COZ I USE ONE ON MINE 6300. THX =) Rating: Reviewed by steve on 17/06/2009 Very sleek very stylish but several faults if you use it a lot. I have had 3 of these over 18 months for work use and found battery life is very poor as it needs charging at least daily with the battery cover getting quite hot to the touch after a 20_30 minute callm. Another problem is a "Dalek" type audio quality that means you have to cancel the call and re-dial. Upgraded now to a blackberry for work and use a SE W810i for personal use which is miles better.

I charge it every 5 or 6 days. But I don't have very long conversations, so maybe that's it. The camera. Wooo, TERR-I-BLE! All the photographs look green/yellow and over-exposed, and have tonnes of noise on them. They look a bit like those pictures you get from night view cams! It's a very stylish phone (I have the brown version), the buttons are remarkably easy to use (they look small, but you don't tend to accidentally press the wrong one). Navigation button is also excellent. Amazing screen: easy to see in bright sunlight. Wifi also excellent, it connected to my wifi network at home straightaway. Haven't tried anything else, it's my "back up" phone, and now I've got my replacement Sony Ericsson (bl**dy thieves) I'll be returning to that one. Why? Because I can't hear this one ring!

Results are foggy and have a yellowish tinge (even when the picture is taken in normal mode, no effects added). The biggest flaws are easily scratchable LCD (and body) alongwith pathetically low internal phone memory (not more than a few MB). That renders applications usage so very hard. If you connect it to the internet, it will ask you to delete something from the phone which leaves such a bad taste in the mouth. I wonder how this phone can be given 5 stars. May be the lower price tag is all important. Rating: Reviewed by Em on 07/04/2009 I have always had Nokia and bought this as a good all-rounder but I am not impressed.

Rating: Reviewed by radhika on 07/02/2009 brillant phone had this 1 year today no problems ever phone has it faults even expensives ones this phone is brillant Rating: Reviewed by Sagar Gandesha on 06/02/2009 Ok what I have found over the years is that Mobile Phones tend to look more and more like toys, there seems to be a huge emphasis on applications and various kinds of software. Don't get me wrong, I myself have been a subject to the innovated technology. However the end product looks like something you bought from Fisher Price! So, I know that the Nokia 6300 has been around for quite some time and to be perfectly honest I did not think much of it. However Nokia seems to have answered all my prayers in one hit by bringing the handset out in Jet Black. At first I was a little sceptical, thinking to myself hmmm why is it so cheap on Pay as you go. At this point I had a Sony Ericsson K770i on contract with Vodafone however as many phone enthusiast out there I get very bored of handsets. Never the less since it was inexpensive through Carphone Warehouse (79.99)I thought "there is no harm in giving it a try". End product: Stylish simple Jet Black handset, steel coating which gives the phone some weight to it, very much pleasing to the eye. What I love about this phone is that Nokia seem to have designed this phone not missing one intricate detail for example: Large TFT screen with High Resolution display, perfect size key pad which has a soft touch (NO CRUNCH), on either side of the handset there is a small clear strip (I love this!) if you have a missed call or have an unread text message it lights up Blue every 15 seconds are so, at the same time if you do have either a missed call or text there is a standby screen that illustrates the latter otherwise the stand by screen is Jet Black. I went for the Noir theme, works well with the the Black edition handset. You can also choose how you would like to view the menu, I chose the "Tab" option as it is a little different from the norm, ring tone wise I went chose "Glow" (Very Cool). I am not a big texter however you can send a "Flash Text" Message, which basically means whoever you text, no matter which brand handset, The text illustration will appear on the screen once received, meaning you don't have to open the message to view it! its a cool idea if you just want to send a jokey text, put a smile on someone's face! Battery life is not bad, I would not say its the best compared to Sony however it lasts, I charge my phone every two days. Camera is not the best, 2 Mega Pixel, compare that to the likes of Sony and Samsung, lets just put it this way "no chance". However, this phone is perfect for just doing the basic things, calling and texting! and looks good whilst doing so. It looks fresh, I have had for about 5 months now and I still am amazed at how perfect it is. I am not big on the camera thing or touch screen for that matter. If you want a simple, sexy, stylish handset that does the basics aspects better than anyone else, than I urge you to purchase, for the price is more than affordable and for what you get, its more than worth it. I have not seen anyone with the black edition, check it out!!! Many businesses provide this as a company mobile but in silver and most who have the 6300, have it in silver, the black edition is something else. 5 STARS!!!!

Rating: Reviewed by Nigel Chan on 18/01/2009 Got my silver 6300 2 1/2 weeks back, and I must say, this one gem of a phone. I'm just an Average Joe user, so I dont need 8MP like the Samsung Omnia or a multi-media mega-gadget like the iPhone. First off, the looks. Gosh, it looks so simple and yet so beautiful with its gloss black and stainless steel finish. Every morning I wake up with a smile when I pick my my phone and start the day. Nice to feel as well. The keys are soft and delicate, but they respond very well. I dont get why people complain about the volume control button. I find it easy to press whichever way I hold it. The screen is absolutely gorgeous with its 2in display and 16M colours. Its also visible under bright sunlight. The menus couldnt be any simpler and straightforward, and I can start an SMS with a press of the shortcut Navi key in an instant! Brilliant! Making calls is a breeze too, and voices on the other end are loud and crispy clear. The loudspeaker does well too, even in windy places with some ambient noise. Incoming calls and SMSes are nice and loud. For some reason I tend to miss calls and SMSes in noisy places, but good thing the blinking blue light notifies me. The vibrating alert could use some more kicking power though. Applications are very quick to open too. music player, camera, etc, will be ready in the blink of an eye! Speaking of music player, the music quality of this phone is superb. People who complain they cant hear it or say the quality sucks are either deaf or listen to songs in noisy places (dumb). Music player is very easy to use with the middle 4-way Navi key to fast forward, rewind, skip, and stop/pause songs. The camera is sort of 50/50. For regular photos like outdoor events, gatherings, family reunions, etc, it is absolutely amazing. I cant tell it apart from my 8MP Olympus digital camera! However, indoors with low/fluorescent lighting and taking close ups, its not really impressive. Pics come out noisy and grainy, and lack of macro/autofocus make close ups blurred. But I almost never need photos of that kind, and for regular photo shooting, this 2MP camera does the job very well. However has complaints about the camera obviously set their expectations too high, since this is a simple all-rounder phone, not camera-focused. As for battery life, here's my records: Hours on standby/ low-average usage such as SMSing per day- approx 10. Days between charges - 4-5. About 40-50 hours, or 2 days IF you on your phone 24 hours a day. My advice: turn it off when you sleep!!!!! you save 8-9 hours of standby time per day! Do I have anything negative to say about this phone? Lets see, the phone lacks 3G, but I dont need it anyway, so it doesnt matter. People complain the video quality sucks. Yes, I know its only some 170 x 140 pixels, but look, if you want to record proper videos, GET A CAMCORDER! And dont forget this is a budget handphone, so you certainly expect it to be superb in every aspect. If you want that kind of phone just go get an N-series and stop complaining. GPRS? The charges for my local telco are unfeasibly high, so I wont waste my money trying it out. Not that I'll need it since I got broadband at home. This is a basic and simple phone for basic and simple users for almost all of us who just want to make calls, send messages, and snap some occasional photos. It may not have a billion functions, but what is important is that it does what its supposed to do. And this phone certainly does it flawlessly. Even with some minor nags, those are things I can live by everyday. Final word - I'd be happy to cling on to this phone till my last breath!

Rating: Reviewed by Ates on 31/12/2008 If you are looking for a phone with bluetooth, fm radio, mp3 player and an average 2MP camera, 6300 is the perfect match for you. The only drawback is its poor battery life. But if you're not using your phone frequently during the day (not more than 30 minutes a day), the standby time will be around 2-3 days. This figure is when bluetooth and fm radio is switched off. Bottom line, this is an excellent phone if you are not looking for the top of the notch techology.

Yes this does pick up the scratches and show them probablya little more than plastic does, but to have such a solid feeling phone - where it doesn't feel like you will snap it is great. Nothing compares! It has everything I want. I do not care about the best camera (I have one already), or about an mp3 player - as I have one of those.

There is no doubt that the phone is well designed and easy to use. However it has one problem and that is it will not turn off.It is like the Duracell bunny as it keeps on going all day. The whole face lights up, then the key's light goes out followed by the face light. Then the whole face lights up again. This sequence continues until the battery is dead. When the phone is held in the hand the light only comes on when a button is pressed. Will be taking the phone back back for a replacement.

It has some obvious benefits: the large and bright screen and the metal casing being the obvious ones. However, the cons are unforgivable - poor battery life and unpleasant ergonomics. The phone is not comfortable in the hand (to wide and thin). The buttons are too small and they don't lie under the thumb; entering numbers or SMS messages involves bending your thumb uncomfortably until you're finished.

Rating: Reviewed by Devi Prasad on 22/10/2008 Nokia 6300 lost me to Samsung D780 Duoes (Dual-SIM) for the following reasons…!! ?? I’ve used Nokia 6300 for 14months but as there was a requirement to take an additional SIM, I’ve opted for an additional Nokia 6120Classic. As it was disgusting to manage two different sets together, I’ve switched to Samsung D780. Hope my experience can serve as a better review to Nokia 6300 and also a good comparison between them both! It’s an amazing phone. It is so solid, slim strong and easy to use! It has never cared any small shocks and drops, which are pretty common for a hand held phone. Yet there’s a lot of room to develop this model further. The one and only annoying thing with this phone is, there is no running call-timer; which is an essential for international calls from a high tariff zone like Libya. When we come to Samsung D780, it’s a “ONE phone with TWO phone utility”. There’s no doubt it’s a wonder from Samsung and a shame to its rivals, as none of them come forward with a Duoes until a couple of years after Samsung has released a Dual-SIM model. To begin with its plus points: I find it so exciting to keep two digital clocks parallel running on its home-screen (Libya +2GMTS & India +5½GMTS)! ‘My-Menu’ is a new development in Samsung’s interface, much similar to that of the most impressing instant access in Nokia 6300’s ‘Active Standby Mode’ (however, it’s not comfortable in Nokia6300 when the date display goes off while the active standby is on). Samsung’s all new ‘DOOR’ menu transmission effect is tingling! Here we have again the most useful profile ‘Offline’ mode like ‘Flight’ mode in Nokia 6300. Samsung provides a useful ‘SIM card management& #8217; feature to select the activities of your two SIMs in a comfortable way you like. Its dual call logs are good and cozy to organise. Using calculator is easy and comfortable than Nokia. Unlike 6300 there are multiple alarms with snooze options and other futures including daily / weekly repetitions. Above all, its ‘Call Reject List’ in call-logs is a great deal. No more unwanted calls. No hassles of repeated missed-calls or blank-calls! You may also opt to block incoming messages from certain numbers from Menu/Messages/Settings/Text messages/Block numbers. Four different play lists are good but each list is limited to a maximum of 30 tracks. So U can have only 30×4=120 songs? But camera is a wonder; you can have pictures at night with full brightness! Samsung is offering a full security to your personal data at several layers. Apart from phone cock, you can assign password protection for Call logs, Phonebook, Messages, My files, Memory Card, Calendar, Tasks a nd Memos individually. When you look at a list of complaints: the most disgusting thing in it is –its screen goes off in 2 seconds you get connected to your dialed number! You cannot see the running call duration; moreover, there is no way to alter this back-light setting! I use to record my conversations with my mother –simply by assigning voice-recorder to one of the shortcuts of the joystick in my Nokia6300 but in Samsung, I can assign this voice-recorder to a joystick shortcut yet there is no way to record a call –pooooooor! Both the headphone quality and the audio output in it are good but the volume is significantly low. On its loud speaker you can hardly feel your music, if the set is a couple of meters away! As I’m used to the solid Nokia 6300 I feel the body of Samsung comparatively fragile! Its casing is easily prone to scratches, especially the back cover is so delicate –can it last a year? In particular I just wonder why these different mobile makers follow dissimilarity in the keypad functionality. It is just like your computer keyboard, the location and function of a particular key must not differ from brand to brand. For example, writing a text message is largely different between Nokia and Samsung! Comparatively text typing is poor in Samsung, like: its T9 functionality, spelling alternation, selecting back the PREVIOUS spelling alternative. Moreover, there are no winks in its SMS writing! After all, they are the fun of messaging and even the beauty on IMs like Yahoo Messenger™ too! Even adding the sender’s number is involved several keyings… boooooooring! Calendar entries can be still better; there are no different classifications in anniversaries like birthdays. Finally, Nokia 6300 + Duoes (Dual-SIM) + Simbian + a timer display for running-calls + 3.2MP Camera + 4GB internal and a 8GM external memory support + dual clock display with date + active standby + low-price = can be a DREAM PHONE in Nokia 63** series! Let’s wait? Wish Nokia would come up and retain its loyal customers!

I won't mention the good points as these have been amply discussed but here three bad points: (1) I'm used to carrying my phone in my pocket and not handling it until I need to use it. If I fail to hear it ring in a busy street or fail to feel it vibrate in my jacket pocket, that's it, hard luck. It won't beep or vibrate every few minutes to let me know. It might flash to let me know there's been a call but I can't see it flash in my pocket. (2) The predictive text doesn't remember the last combination of letters I used but reverts to its default. Even as I correct it when selecting letters in a non-standard word, when the next letter is pressed, my corrections are ignored and it goes back to the default. (3) On two attempts at setting up e-mail I failed; there are approximately 45 steps to this and although I followed them carefully I couldn't get it to work. This may have been because O2 themselves weren't sure - on two occasions they got the wrong sub-menu for a particular setting and I had to hunt for it myself. I have spoken to other Nokia users about this and they have said "I don't use predictive text" or "I don't use e-mail". No wonder! Rating: Reviewed by Wai on 07/10/2008 I had one of the earliest versions of this phone back in March 2007. It seemed to work exceptionally well with the odd crashing now and again, especially on calls. By the time I had it for 14 months (on an 18 month contract), it was constantly crashing/freezing/switching itself off, and unable to turn it back on, or if you turn it on, it crashes about 2 mins and switches itself off again. Leaving it for 6-7 hours before finally being able to switch it back on and it would function properly.

Its like the EASIEST phone to use. As soon as you buy it, you will find that the buttons are so easy to use and the menu section and everything is in a place where you can easily find it. The size is small and slim>perfect for whatever (pockets, etc..). its not too heavy and not too light, just feels..right. the phone works smoothly with fast response + great quality sound. The screen is like sooo bright and colourful. The camera is pretty good too. We all know that VGA is rubbish, 1.3 isnt that good but the nokia 6300's 2mgp is fine. I like the looks of the phone and it came with a cool case too. There's also a memory card slot if you want some additional memory (needed if you use it as a music player coz the phone has little internal memory). About the battery life...It's alright for me but if you use it alot, you will have to charge it regularly but oh well, that's the only bad thing i can think of. If you're looking for a great looking phone with all the basic features you need thats simple to use, then I'm recommending the Nokia 6300. By far the best phone i've used! but who knows..there might be better phones out there Rating: Reviewed by Jess on 24/09/2008 This phone is great!!!! But it keeps fading to white and then i have to hold the on/off button until it decides to come back to life.. this also happened with my other nokia 6111 and i had to get rid of it as it also started to take photos whenever it wanted for example in the middle of writing a text message. Rating: Reviewed by burnt toast on 23/09/2008 I bought mine from T-Mobile and just use the Solo tariff because I expect my next company to issue me with a new one so bought this as an interim fill in. I find the 6300 small, clear and precise to use. It has many of the basic phone components that I want and few additional extras; some I may use. I was really after a cell-phone that was basically a phone and not an all singing and dancing PC/video camera/MP3 player; if that makes sense! Battery life is fine, menu system fairly easy to use, as is the PC Suite synchronisation software. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is that I have to remove the back cover to be able to open the bluetooth flimsy plastic cover to plug in the USB cable to connect to my PC. I would also have like to charge the phone using the USB cable whilst the phone is connected to my PC, just like my old Blackberry did; that would save plugging in the charger - I could also charge it up whilst it's in the car. Who knows perhaps Nokia may include this in the future! Both my wife and I have the same 6300 model and she is also delighted with it. Recently she decided to take an unplanned swim whilst crossing a stream in the Lake District; with the 6300 in her pocket! Needless to say that it "drowned" but after a few hours of drying off in the sun (yes there was some!) and a few minutes with her hair dryer the phone worked perfectly. Having a silicone "skin" may have contributed to it not getting too drenched. I had thought about buying the 6500 which is tiny but I have read so many bad press reports I decided to go for the 6300, and I'm glad that I did. If you don't need the latest and greatest but want a decent cell-phone - with a few extras - then you can't go too wrong with the Nokia 6300.

I always buy Nokia as the most reliable and best designed phone. I was put off by the "poor battery life" comments but have to say our expectations will never be satisfied. Considering the sophisticated and extremely attractive, bright and user friendly display it is a miracle the battery lasts as long as it does! I am a designer and the feel and look of something is as important as its function and I would say this is a fantastic phone. My only frustration (and this is probably common to many phones) is that I can't listen to radio (the news in particular) through the loudspeaker without having to hook up the ear piece/antenna set up. Am wary of bluetooth ear pieces and health risks as listening to music would be prolonged. Other reviews criticised the sound quality but I am a musician also and it sounds fine to me and I have compareed it with my Zen Vision:M mp3 player. This is a real black beauty (o r silver if you prefer) and as another reviewer has said, its a great phone to just fondle.

Very sophisticated looking design but small enough to be slipped in you pocket and forgotten about. The metal casing is a welcome touch. As easy to use as all Nokia mobiles, and the Yahoo Go and Opera web browser are a nice surprise in a phone this small. The best thing though is its reliability (I speak as someone who once had a convoluted wrangle with Carphone Warehouse over a faulty phone). After 8 months it's working fine. Okay the camera could be better, but so what, I've got a digital camera for that. As has been noted elsewhere the battery life isn't as good as other Nokias but mine still averages 4 days with 12 - 14 hours usage a day, and that doesn't stop me from giving it 5 stars.. Rating: Reviewed by SJR Blackburn on 28/08/2008 I have been an avid fan of Nokia because of their quality and simplicity. But the 6300 is by far the best phone I have ever had and is the perfect size too. The flashing lights feature is simoly brilliant. It is easy to see at anytime day or night whethere you've missed a call or sms. The best thing is when putting the phone on silence...the phone doesn't disturb you during the night, but if you happen to wake you cant miss the fact you have missed a call or sms. I just wish the memory storage on the phone was bigger to sore more personal sms's. Because of the intermnal memoery being so small, I am looking to change my phone. Beleive it or not...I cant lkive without the lashing lights feature as it is just so handy...but I cant find another phone with them. I wish Nokia would add this feature to ALL their phones.

Keys for texting are good but moving too and from predictive text is a bit of a fiddle. Keen to test it's music capabilities, I downloaded a couple of mp3's but couldn't find where they had been stored. Eventually, I found a command to "update media files" and this seemed to organise the tracks into the musicplayer. I've now had the phone threeweeks and my only real moanis the battery life. All the adverts say 14.5 on standby, but I'm having to charge mine every three days. I don't have blue tooth switchedon, and neither do I use the screensaver, so it's a bit of a downer.

I bought one of these for my daughter for Christmas in December 2007 on PAYG from Tesco. Within a few weeks it crashed. Would not turn on. Pressing the on button resulted in the phone vibrating for a few seconds, followed by the Nokia logo displayed on the screen, followed by the screen flashing white three times, followed by turning back off again. No end of removing batteries, sims, memory cards, charging etc. resolved it. Took it back and got a replacement 6300 and now here I am today (1st June 2008), three months later with my daughter telling me this one's done exactly the same again.

Rating: Reviewed by Adrian McElholm on 18/05/2008 this is a good mobile with lots of good features. however there are some aspects to it that are very annoying. first of all it seems to have a puny memory for words. if you use predictive text like i do, it's very frustrating that no matter how often you type a name, place, slang etc, the predicitve text memory never remembers it, you will have to forever spell these words individually. for a new phone the camera is pretty punt, 2Megapixel with no flash or autofocus is pretty poor. finally, the battery life is quite poor. wqithin a couple of days of moderate use you will need to recharge it. this isn't a big deal, but it is noticeably worse than other phones i have had. other than that it is an excellent phone. i'm only writing this because after reading all these 5 star reviews i was really looking forward to this 'perfect' phone, but as i've said, it does have some pretty irritating failings.

The camera is Ok, the mp3 voice quality is good. I wouldn't recommend it. Rating: Reviewed by Roy on 07/05/2008 It is an average phone because: 1. The predictive text saving is completely and utterly bugged. It does not save your word unless you get the ? mark up. It has such as small memory (no way to extend the dictionary memory) that you frequently cant get words you use on and end up writing in things like "couldnt" a hundred times. I realise most people cant be using predictive since there all happy but its awful if you do, absolutely awful because it frustrates with not saving words and its not me, its the phone Ive seen forum posts about this issue. 2. The battery life is rubbish due to the slimness apparently (smaller battery) My old w810i lasted 14 days once and lasted 8 hours during a traffic jam and in the 2 years i owned it it never once turned off. So far this phone has turned off about 5 or 6 times. Its an average to poor battery. I was just expecting a 7 days plus charge but its more like every couple of days. Poor for todays phones compared to SE. It is fine apart from these two issues, but for me the predictive text aspect is a complete joke.

I chose the 6300 not just for looks and quality but also on the favourable reviews I read on this and other sites. Having used it for 6 months I am now in a position to offer my opinion. I don't regard myself as a heavy user, 20 - 30 texts and 30 minutes talk time a day at maximum seems fairly moderate to me. I realise the display guzzles power in huge quantities but I expected considerably better than the 15 - 25 hours use I get from mine, and that's even turning it off at night! To be honest, disappointed is an understatement. I thought the concept of a cell 'phone was to be toally mobile with it, not to have it plugged in at home or my desk? Nice looking 'phone, great features and lots of 'bells and whistles', but comes with a 'you're having a laugh' battery life! I'm now looking at the forthcoming 2600.

I am a NOKIA lover Rating: Reviewed by Howard Walker on 11/04/2008 The original review (see above) refers to a 'beautiful stainless steel finish'. Unfortunately for me however the top third of the caseback is not stainless steel but black plastic. I carry my phone in my trouser pockets and I had this phone for 5 months until the black plastic case at the back cracked. This caused the screen to malfunction and the phone became unusable. Before it broke, I used the phone for phoning, texting and internet, I like the Nokia system set up and don't have any problems with the phone operation. The camera is slow (long lag between pressing shutter and picture taking) which makes it impossible to take pictures of kids/action shots etc. But maybe this is also the case with other phones (I don't use camera phones and as I usually use a Canon digital SLR perhaps I expect too much). Overall I would say the phone is very good, but as in my case its lack of robustness is demonstrable, be sure to take good care of it and/or buy a case.

Guess what? Nokia's 6300 proves me wrong. This phone is for those who don't want to beat around the bush looking for a nice straightforward phone for everyday usage (that means reliability, feel and style). The features are plentiful enough for a phone in this class, the reception and calls are reliable and clear, and the part where I love the most: it's build quality is exceptional. I have the one in all-black, and I can tell you, it's awesome. Those who said that they can't help touching the phone all the time, I'm having the same problem (although I've have it for a month already) and I still don't grow tired of the minimalistic design. It is one of those rare phones that invoke that exciting feeling when you get your first feel of it. I just have to make an extended note that I especially like the way Nokia made the casing with steel because firstly, it gives a very classy feeling and durability, and secondly, it gives it a weight that feels just right. My N95 was a big phone, but it felt too light for my liking and the plastics gives it a cheap-feeling. But don't get me wrong, I know there is a need for compensation when you have such a phone with so many great features. They just belong in 2 different classes. One gripe I have about 6300 will have to be it's platform. Maybe I was spoilt by N-series phones, but scrolling from icons to icons in the menu feels quite slow. I don't really like the active stand-by (I have always been using it on other phones) because of the laggyness in scrolling. I feel that some of the menu organisations can be improved, but that may just be personal preference. The upside is, loading times when you open folders and settings are fast. The camera is just decent, so don't expect too much from it. It does what it is supposed it and not much else. Not many phones can have such a short list of cons from me, so I give Nokia much credit for 6300. Those who are looking into phones from this class, you should seriously consider this amongst your choices. Rating: Reviewed by John Cornwall on 05/04/2008 Recommended 100%.

Rating: Reviewed by Fiona on 29/03/2008 I bought the Nokia 6300 back in September after I was very clumsy and dropped my beloved Samsung into my tea. I went for the slim design, and had seen some ok reviews. After 3 months, the phone completely crashed, after being sent off for repair, Nokia exchanged it for a brand new model. Another 5 months after that, the phone developed a software problem. Originally anything put into the headphone or charger port would restart the phone, and a couple of days later it would just restart and turn off as it pleased, resulting in me missing lectures, and a placement. Wouldn't reccommend it for people who like a phone that lasts longer then 5 months.

Apart from that though, its a good phone Rating: Reviewed by Ed on 24/03/2008 I have just dumped a Nokia 5200 for this phone and am so glad I did! The 5200 is ugly, clunky and looks like an old and cheap toy from the 1970's-I could go on, but its a nasty, nasty phone... This is a old 'un but a good un, the interface has been updated, the camera (especially compared tp the 5200) is excellent, the options and extras what you need without going too OTT-and to those that whinge that the internet connection is no good-its a PHONE!!!!

Compared to my Motorola V3 with 5Mb memory and very poor camera/video and no Microcard slot, the only good thing about that phone is the colour. (it's pink) But this Nokia is outstanding. A true legend in the Nokia industry. If you want a phone that does everything you want a phone to do, get this phone! It's not even very expensive either! Under £100 sounds good to me!

By and large it is a good phone. However there is one major flaw! When using it with a bluetooth headset the other person, whom you are calling sometimes hears your speech VERY interupted, so that a meaningful conversation is not possible. This becomes regular and unusable when the other phone is also a Nokia 6300. So if you plan to use your phone with the BT headset, don't. For us this was very important and therefore the rating is low. Unfortunately, NOKIA do not acknowledge this problem.

The hole the headphones plugged into did not work and i tried many other peoples and deducted it was another error wit the phone.... The phone now freezes constantly i have to turn it off and on again. More recently it has been saying i have no signal even when i am in an area where i should. This was not a network problem as no one else had this problem but me. It fixed itself when i reset the phone, before going back to no signal. After doing this for a few days, the phone jusat stopped registering my sim card and indicated it was not present when it was. All these errors as i far as i have read are not common and if it wasnt for these MANY errors, this phone was great! i actually almost fell in love with it for the first 6 months i had it (appart from the headfones not working but that wasn a big issue) and it was all round a great phone with many features and everyhting ran smoothely. i must be the only person complaining about this phone because it WAS a seriously good phone, probably my best ever.... my mother has the same phone and it has worked briiliantly for her! Also it was and is the best priced phone here in Australia! comparitivly, it is in the same price range as some VGA camera phones when it could be sold for so much more.... basically, great fone, just not mine!

Rating: Reviewed by Owain on 02/03/2008 Generally a very good phone. The design is sleak and slim. The metal casing giving it a solid feel and the buttons have a quality feel to them too. It's a simple to use phone with all the basic functions that you need. The screen quality is excellent and it can still be seen in bright sunlight. The are only a couple of things on the phone that I dont like. The camera is quite grainy especially on night mode and the text message setup isn't very user friendly. Unlike some other phones where they scroll by a line or page at a time, the nokia scrolls so that the message fills the screen. This means that for each message the text scrolls by a different amount. It makes reading longer texts very annoying as you lose the line which you last read causing you to re-read several lines or miss parts of the message. To get around this I tried using the small text option but the text is much too small to read comfortably (and I have good eye sight). Generally I rate this phone very highly, and it is great for people who don't want to pay a premium for features such as 3G, that in my case are rarely used.

So they could check it. They sent it back a month later saying there was a fault and that I could return it and get a new phone. I was very pleased with the phone when I got it back, but was dissapointed with the lack of memory on the phone and the memory card. But after having it for just over a week the same thing happened.

Where to start?? Let’s leave the battery issue alone, we all know that one. Sending text message is now a long winded exercise, several clicks before you can select the recipient not like before, and try to get the details of a received text...before you just scrolled down the message to find this. now its click,click,click.....Have you tried the 'Send to many’ options in messaging, like to know who has figured this out...Ring a number that’s engaged...you gotta quickly move the fone around to view the screen to see the error message, no engaged tone....Network strength indicator, please supply magnifying glass to see this...'Voice activation' unless you can speak like Stephen Hawking don’t expect this to work. I could go on forever, however after 3 weeks of frustration I returned this fone for refund on the basis that it was not fit for its purpose, went on net and bought 2nd hand 6230i in very good nick.

Rating: Reviewed by Fi on 25/02/2008 I agree with other people when they say that the phone is good, I have to admit it is. However, I am slightly disappointed that I seem to constantly have problems with the phone. First time it went faulty, it completely died after 3 months, as it was un-repairable, I was given a new one. However, now this "new" model decides as and when it wants to turn it's self off and die on me. (Leaving me with no alarm and missing a lecture). I take care of phones, so it has no mechanical reason to go faulty on me. Maybe I'm just an unlucky mobile phone owner this time around. I feel that I won't go back to Nokia, as I've had problems with them before on several occassions. Hope this helps. Rating: Reviewed by David on 24/02/2008 Great phone!

Unlike most phones it actually lives up to the description. The advantages would be the appearance as it looks great, and it feels good too, being so easy to use, good camera, good for new software and programs, attractive display themes, loads of funky camera effects and night-vision, flexible settings, great organisation features (such as calendar, to-do list, stopwatch, countdown timer scientific calculator, notes, and much more). The texting aspect is really good as I can text easily and don't have to worry about memory storage. The music player is excellent, but the disadvantages I would say is not being able to edit details on the library such as the name, genre, etc just to make it easier to find songs when you want them. Other disadvantages include the camera which, although being good quality, it takes alot of time to save the photo. The video player isn't very good, being jerky and unclear at time s. The lack of infrared isn't noticeable with the bluetooth feature, so it doesn't really affect the phone's performance. And most importantly, the low battery life is very annoying. I did buy an external memory card as the 128mb one wasn't really adequate. Generally the phone is brilliant value for money, ideal for most people and wonderfully easy to use. I could say that it is easily one of the best phones on the market with confidence. I hope this helps you to make the right decision.

The Samsung was reliable, and solidly constructed, and never gave me any problems. A replacement phone would have a lot to live up to. Thankfully, the 6300 doesn't disappoint. Its a simple, no nonsense phone thats easy to use, ergonomic, and ain't bad to look at either. The battery life is an issue, lasting two days at most. However, this incovenience is more than offset by the simple usability of the phone. For anyone who already has a camera to take pictures (the other down side to this phone), an mp3 player to listen to music, and just wants a phone to make calls, this phone is a great choice. Rating: Reviewed by Saravanan on 18/01/2008 Great phone to have. Has the very sexy sleek look among nokia phones.

It's smart, and very tactile with it's cool stainless steel cosmetics, which do not attract scratches as much as you would imagine, any minor marks can be erased with a little metal polish anyway! just like new! screen is bright and tough, with good clarity, tones are loud and clear, but there's also no chance of missing a call or sms/text as neon blue lights flash to alert you of these functions.. very useful if you need a phone on silent at work, as silent is without all tones and vibes, but the flashing side bar lets you know you are in demand and someone is contacting you. The keypad lights also in the same blue shade. The camera is all you would expect on a phone, if not more.. battery lasts pretty well too. the menu's are easy to follow, and use. all in all a superb phone, and one i will keep til it dies, as it's compact and has all the features you could ask for in a phone.. prospective buyers should note that this is a phone, not an IPOD or Camera,and accept it for it's purpose.. if you want a reliable handset, i fully recommend this phone. Unisex, so would suit anyone, regardless..

So, apart from the camera, I like it Rating: Reviewed by shah on 22/11/2007 This really is pretty much all the things said above. It looks and feels very classy and robust, the menu is upto the obvious functional legendary nokia standard that we all love. I had a nokia 6230 before and i didnt think that could be beaten and this phone came very close to it. The problem is although the camera is 2megapixel it is very poor indoors in artificial light. You can either take a pic that is dark and grainy, or switch the nightmode on and take a blurred pic. Adjusting the white effects mode helps but not enough. This is so dissapointing as even my old 6230 produces better indoor pics and that wasn't even 1MP! Additionally the voice dialling appears 2 be a joke that is only functional if u sound like a robot, you cannot customise contacts with your own voice! Nevertheless this is an excellent sleek phone that is impressive an no nonsense in every other department. If you dont want to take pics you'll love it.

I switched to a sony ericsson for a while, but I'm glad to be back to Nokia. As for the battery, which seems to be the main gripe people have with it - its really not a problem, and its very hard to see a difference between this and any other phone's battery I've ever used. I had loads of gripes with the Sony k510i, but I have none with the Nokia and I've been using it for 3 months now. If you've been looking around the reviews a while, you don't have to look any further. I logged on specifically to rate this phone because I'm so impressed. Rating: Reviewed by wow on 18/11/2007 not bad Rating: Reviewed by BAS on 17/11/2007 Got this for not having to use my Windows Mobile brick supplied by my boss (private calls not included). Since I was used to various Nokia's over the years based on reviews I got the 6300 (instead of the 6230i which I had before and was another option with the same subscription). No regrets so far... the new interface is great, nicer and simpler than the one on the 6230i. The phone is slimmer and lighter. The sound is clear and I like the way the keyboard feels, the keys are the right size for my midsize hands. I also do like the fact that syncing is easy with a standard cable that comes with every digital camera. In my case I had a car-charger of my previous phone which doesn't work as they've changed the charger (and the headphone too by the way), no problem as a AC-charger is supplied with the phone. If there's one thing to note that would be that the combination of a thin body that's made of stainless steel looks and feels great but might escape your hands if you're in a hurry. A second one would be the battery life as mentioned by other people, could be better.

I'm a pay-as-you-go customer and don't use my phone for calls much and not even on a daily basis nor do i use it to play music on. I DID charge before using the first time (though i had to look on the internet to find out how long to charge it for because the instruction manual didn't bother to say) and it barely lasted 4 days. The second time it went dead on me in 3 and a half days and that time i hadn't even used it as much and certainly hadn't taken any pics like I did on the first charge. What happpened? It never returned to life, not even after being left on charge overnight. On top of that it doesn't synch with AppleMacs without your going through a massive rigmarole of downloads and fixes and the tightwads at nokia can't even be bothered to bung in a USB lead when you buy. I took it back and got a sony 810 - a slightly chunkier phone with at least twice the battery life, synchable with a Mac and a far superior camera.

Firstly, I accidentally left this phone in a jacket pocket that I put in the washing machine. I couldn’t believe it but it still works after that (standard 40 degress C), Secondly and this is just unbelievable but trust me it is true. To cut a long story short one of my so called friends played a practical joke on me one night and put my phone under the back wheels of my car - I backed over it with out knowing and it still works! If that doesn`t prove it to be the best phone in the world then I dont know what does. It may not be the latest model anymore but for durability and strength I recommended it.

Although this is a very good looking easy to use set, I didn't quite like it, but I won't rate it so badly because it is just my taste. One big flaw of this phone is its poor battery life. Sometimes, I felt that the functionalities were given for the sake of it's name only because the battery doesn't support these functions to be used (for eg. music player). Many times I had run out of battery while I was outside. If you receive and make few calls, that is it, the cell will start running out quickly. The second thing I didn't like about this is its unbalanced weight. The weight is too much for such a small phone. I was never comfortable with it without a cover and it popped out of my hands couple of times too. If you are an advanced user, this is not that kind of a phone. It's a very simple easy to use phone and will fit perfectly for ladies and new cell phone users. I was amazed by the ratings received for this phone as normally NOKIA phones are not rated highly (If you read the reviews for other phones). 98% of users have rated it very highly. I will give it 3 stars only just because I couldn't like it well and I am planning to buy NOKIA N73 though it's a little buggy.

Haven't had a phone that's done that for years. Texting makes my hands ache as this phone is far too small. And I don't particularly like the font size. Small is too small, normal is too big. The phone book especially looks too big and too spaced out. Also I hate the way they have altered the standard text alert - what's with the harmonisation Nokia?? Stick to what you know best! Have yet to try the camera but sound quality on calls is loud and clear. Looks alright but am waiting for Nokia to get themselves in gear and release a good working slide phone under the £120 mark.

It ticks all the boxes for being user freindly and it has all those familiar menus that you expect from a Nokia.

I got the phone to replace my older Nokia due to the comptuer connection not working anymore. So with this phone I bought a bluetooth dongle and it works a treat. The screen is very clear to look at which is a bonus but the disadvantage (the only one I can think of) is its battery life. I dunno how they think it could last up to 14.5 days!! More like 1 or 2 days it goes oh so fast (hence no 5 Stars). The camera isnt brilliant but okay for average usage (got this phone to phone people not take piccies). Overall great stylish design feels very nice in hand, good features but battery very poor which is a big shame. Rating: Reviewed by Chris on 08/10/2007 Style over Substance. I have Had this phone for exactly a week, previously having an older Nokia and a Motorola. Nokia is my phone of choice. The phone looks great. Its no i-phone of course but then its a good solid phone too. Or is it? Firstly it feels ok, weight fine. Reasonably intuitive operation for most operations within a minute or two of playing. The sound is clear. Screen is very nice. So its a good phone. But its not outstanding as the reviews above would claim. Here are some issues, varying from small to fairly major. 1. Battery life is below average in simple standby (resting on table). Perhaps its the bluetooth? 2. Volume control on side is awkward for larger fingers. 3. Camera is AWFUL in low light. I mean AWFUL. 4. The biggest button on a phone should get me into my names of people to call. Here it takes me to a menu, the first item of which is SMS. Yes I can press the down below the big button but this is awkward again. 5. Dialing buttons are too small 6. My phone got into a state where it believed headphones were plugged in. They were not. There is no menu option to overcome this. I had to find headphones - plug in and unplug to reset the phone. Thats just dumb. 7. The phone is not ergonomic - dialing with your thumb is hard work. The problem is that the keys are bunched close at the bottom so holding the phone and diallling with one hand requires holding the phone very low down and even then isnt comfortable. 8. No infrared! Sure it has bluetooth. Unfortunately my laptop does not. Sigh. 9. The phone can become very hot in long conversations. I found it quite painful once to have close to my ear. In summary I think a lot has been sacrificed here to make the phone elegant, the right form factor and weight and cost. Theres no doubt phones have become fashion items and here the 6300 wins out massively. If what you want is a phone that looks good on the table - this is one of them. However, squeezin in that screen , forcing a tiny area for the keypad reduces the whole ergonomic feel of the phone. Add to this awkward volume key and poor priorities on selection keys and you have a phone that begins to annoy people who dont care so much about style as function. I could let all this slide except that the style over substance continues from there. Lack of infrared is unforgiveable in a phone that wants to be an all-in-one device. The battery life in idle mode is poor too. In all...I suspect higher votes come from style lovers, but I'd advise others to be more than cautious about this glittering phone. Oh yeah and if you buy this as a fashion item, it does kind of scream - I wanted an i-phone.

How do the manufacters test those times??!?! - the shiny plastic is easily scrached Rating: Reviewed by Tony on 07/10/2007 This phone is getting some good reviews; I have had the phone for a week so here are some points on my finndings which should balance the discussion! Bluetooth connectivity is poor, for some reason, it will connect to the system in my car but it is hard to hear what I am saying! It works fine with a range of other phones. The loudspeaker volume is poor and the sound quality while playing music is terrible; it reminds me of one of those £5 walkmans you used to get. Connectivity is also suspect, as I have had problems on routes where I have never had a problem before. There are two things that you need to know during a call, how good the signal and how much battery left. Both of these crucial bits of info are not visible during a call as the callers name is displayed in bold and the background bleaches out. So you all recon this a good phone huh? Makes you wonder what you had before! There are better phones on the market, but since the 6310 they are no longer made by Nokia. Rating: Reviewed by Zubin Bhuyan on 06/10/2007 This thing rocks!!!!!

Rating: Reviewed by danno on 06/10/2007 This is the first Nokia I've owned for years having had a string of Sony Ericssons since my old 7210, but the phone felt familiar straight off. Despite loving that handset, I switched to SE because Nokia had a period of releasing weird looking phones. The 6300 is a real return to form. Very simple and understatedly stylish, the design and the aluminium casing just ooze quality. Despite having been used to the SE menus, it took no time at all to familiarise myself with the Nokia's menu system, it really is very intuative. Call quality is excellent, the camera is perfectly adequate for a phone cam and the inclusion of Opera Mini as a browser (it's what I've used on mobiles in the past) is great. Some people have commented on battery life. Well I use mine for on average a couple of short calls and half a dozen texts daily plus an hour listening to music. I top up the battery every second night which I don't think is bad for a handset running a 2 gig memory card on top of its standard functions. I'm very happy with the phone, but there are a few downsides that would stop me giving it 5 stars, mostly connected to the media functionality. Firstly, as many have mentioned, the memory card that the phone is packaged with is inadequate if you want to store a half decent selection of music on it, so you'll have to buy another one seperately, but at least it supports 2 gig memory cards. Just a shame they didn't include one. Secondly, the supplied headphones are abysmal, particularly compared to the ones that my last W800 came with. Really cheap old 80s style plastic earpieces, possibly adequate for taking voice calls on, but no use whatsoever for listening to music. Bizarely, according to their website, these are the best earphones Nokia supply. And you'll need to buy an adaptor to use ordinary earphones with it as the headphone jack is smaller than the ordinary 2.5mm size. Thirdly, while the music loading software is miles easier to use and more reliable than Sony's version (arrrgh!), albums ripped directly from CD are fine, but all of the music that I've transferred from my computer library or MP3 player the phone has helpfully rearranged into alphabetical order by track name with no option to re-sort. Very annoying when your favourite album plays in completely the wrong order, absolute carnage when it's a premixed dance album. And odd when Nokia's own PC music manager can read the track numbers. Finally (phew) my W800 allowed you to use the volume button to skip through tracks or adjust the volume whilst listening to music while keeping the rest of the keys locked. On the Nokia you have to unlock the keypad and then go through the menus to the music manager to do this, which is a little unnecessary. All minor niggles, but real all the same. Overall, a very good sophisticated phone with lots of functionality but still a few things that Nokia could learn from Sony Ericsson about music players.
