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 Nozzy on 11/05/2008 Good Nokia phone, very much how they used to make them...6230 was one of the best mobiles, and this is a good update of that. So simple to use, great little functions, everything where u want it, shortcut keys, fast user interface, its a great pleasure to use since I'm used to slow smartphones - 6600, 6630, N80, N73 etc. If only the battery was as good though, it would be my fone for good, and a flash for the camera wud be good too, but its no biggy, i hardly use nemore nowadays. So all in all, a great simple, reliable phone to use, just let down by battery life...hence 3-4 stars. Rating: Reviewed by Aly on 10/05/2008 i have had this phone for a bout 1 an a half and not one thing has gone wrong at times it does freeze thats because of how much i use it i have tried other phones but this is by far the best one Rating: Reviewed by Dan Brewer on 07/05/2008 Brilliant Phone, best price actually on orange, £15 a month, unlimited anytime texts 100 mins and this phone free! Rating: Reviewed by Daniel on 07/05/2008 I bought this phone based on the recommendation on this site, it was a mistake! the voice quality is an embarrasement, my old Nokia 1100 worked superbly. The multi-media clips stopped working after 2 months. The headphone plug has its own mind about working hours. The keypad is designed for tiny fingers. 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. Rating: Reviewed by u dnt need 2 no on 05/05/2008 it says the memory is when clearly there is free space on the phone memory and memory card. what is going on? Rating: Reviewed by BSB on 01/05/2008 Good Design, feels good. But poor battery life. Not for people on the move unless you carry a mobile charger as well. The phone also tends to get hot during extended conversation. I am fan of Nokia because the Battaeries generally last longer. Rating: Reviewed by Moo from UK on 01/05/2008 What a great little phone. Slim, stylish and user friendly. It does exactly what it says it will and the display is really good. Negative: Naff and very limited range of ring tones!!! I give it only 4 stars for this reason. Can't comment on the battery issue as I am not a big user and mine last for ages. Rating: Reviewed by Sean Mulligan. on 30/04/2008 A really superb phone,excellent clear screen,decent pictures, and easy to use buttons.I bought one off Ebay and for the price it is one of the best camera phones I have ever used. Rating: Reviewed by Lawrence Bagnall on 29/04/2008 I have been using the nokia 6300 for 12 months and can honestly say it has been flawless in every aspect of day to day usage, weather texting,calling or gaming it is a truly versatile handset for young and old alike which is extremely easy to use. Rating: Reviewed by Tony on 28/04/2008 Great phone and easy to use, has everything except a flash but battery life could be better, other than that brill! Rating: Reviewed by P Cross on 27/04/2008 What are Nokia playing at? This is the replacements for the 6230i. The new business phone! The good points are it is a stylish modern handset and easy to use. The bad news is it doesn't work properly if you want to call people that is.Sound quality is poor as is the battery life and as for using it on a bluetooth headset forget it( I tried various headsets and car kits).I use my phone all the time for business and most of the time on handsfree and this phone is the worst phone I have ever had.If you want a good handset the Nokia E51 is a far superior phone lucky for nokia as the 6300 nearly lost them a loyal nokia customer. Rating: Reviewed by Tom on 27/04/2008 I love the phone. Been looking for years for a decent phone and have finally found it! The screen is superb and the buttons are very ergonomic for ease of use. I can text very very very fast on it and always get calling reception. Although as nearly all the reviews below mention, it does have poor battery life. But I and you will be able to live with a phone thats perfect otherwise! Rating: Reviewed by Emma on 27/04/2008 I was looking for a good working phone which was not flashy and didnt have a million and one functions. I was highly recommended this phone and was impressed by the camera and the functions. It is also a very nice looking mobile and the size is ideal, not too small or too chunky!! I would highly recommend this phone - best phone I have owned!! Rating: Reviewed by charlotte on 27/04/2008 This phone is an outstanding phone everything on this phone is perfect this phone is the best phone ive had yet and it is absloutley brilliant so a big well done to who ever made this phone!!! Rating: Reviewed by Julia on 25/04/2008 I do love this phone, I have it in all black. It's like the old nokia, does exactly what it's supposed too. The only down side is the truely abismal battery life. Never had a phone which has needed to be charged so often before. For that reason I'm dropping it down to 4 stars Rating: Reviewed by pearly on 25/04/2008 The phone is the best one I have had so far but does anyone have problems with the charger its like they havent made it to fit properly so charging is a nightmare! Rating: Reviewed by junaid ilyas on 24/04/2008 So sweet mobile I have brought allready Rating: Reviewed by Paul Brindle on 24/04/2008 I had one of these phones. Loved the look and feel of the phone. After a few years away from Nokia's I had high hopes. Functions worked well and it had all the Nokia usability. BUT the ear speaker was to quiet to hear with any background noise and when talking people could not understand me as I sounded either crackely or like a robot. I tried it with and without the voice clarity but to no avail. Loved the phone but was no ue to me as a phone. Have know others with the same problem but have had replacements. O2 wouldn't replace mine as thet said nothing was wrong. Looking forward to the 6300i which is supposed to have had the faults fixed and has a longer lasting battery. Rating: Reviewed by Daniel on 23/04/2008 the best phone i had ever come across. thank you nokia Rating: Reviewed by K-L on 22/04/2008 Brilliant Phone. It has all the things you need, reliability, clarity and added bonuses such as the 2megapixel camera. I had a sony erricson w800i and then moved on up to the k800i. I was tired with the phones crashing on me or restarting for no reason. If you want a reliable handset that feels great in your hand, GO AND BUY THE 6300i NOW. Rating: Reviewed by Steve on 21/04/2008 Pros: good build with stainless steel casing, loud stereo-feel speaker, easy to use, flash themes with animated wallpapers, all in all great handset. Cons: in my opinion the battery could have been slightly better although it can easily go 2 days with heavy usage without charging, multiple alarms can be set for days only i.e. no multiple alarms on same day (a feature which I like so I can set more than one alarm to wake me up), camera is just a joke (better having one than none i guess) or may be is because i'm used to cyber-shot phones. Rating: Reviewed by bibis on 20/04/2008 talk time is very low. Battery needs to be re-load every day. Danger to be low of battery when listen music for short time (10 minutes). Rating: Reviewed by Ian - Luton on 18/04/2008 Disappointed is the best way to describe my feelings about this 'phone. Having been a long term PAYT customer I eventually decided to go on contract. 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. Cheap and cheerful but hopefully a 'phone thats use lasts considerably longer than this one. Rating: Reviewed by graham on 18/04/2008 fab phone. The dogs bees. Rating: Reviewed by apple pie on 18/04/2008 THIS PHONE IS AMAZING. no faults apart from the filing is abit weird and you have to buy a memory card but its not much Rating: Reviewed by len on 16/04/2008 Great phone and good features. Fast and well built. Back cover easily scratched. Extremely poor battery life and it struggles to last a full day with about 2 hours worth of calls. Rating: Reviewed by Vishi on 16/04/2008 This is a good phone. sound quality is excellent. Display quality is amazing.. but the battery life time is too short... Rating: Reviewed by David on 14/04/2008 1-2 days standby time 20 minutes talk time The black part of the phone at the back seems to scratch very easily. The photo quality is terribly distorted, with green speckled grains and vertical lines down the photo. During the day, photo quality is average. The phone's design is excellent, though it does feel fragile. Rating: Reviewed by ali mohamed on 12/04/2008 it's a best phone which i am using last one year. it's very convenient to carry becoz of it,s size. it,s very easy to operate.it,s very quick and fast,when operating. i love this phone from the day i purchased. i dont feel like changing it becoz i like it very much. until i find another phone better than this i'll n't change it.in this phone only one disadvantage is this, when we are using continuosly it's over heating. so we have to cut short our conversations. i only use Nokia phones it,s very convenient to handle, when comparing with other brand available in the market. 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. Rating: Reviewed by Marian on 11/04/2008 Its a super stylish phone . bt d battery life is poor. it stays only for 1 and a half days. Rating: Reviewed by robert on 08/04/2008 the screen broke twice in 3 months. Then you have to purchase insurance or they make you buy a new phone. It's a great phone but not worth the hassle with the screen Rating: Reviewed by craig on 08/04/2008 a good phone but the battery lets it down big time i had to charge it every night i got the n73 now its loads better Rating: Reviewed by drew on 05/04/2008 I was a user of both n95 and n80, and I never thought of going back to a non N-series nokia model given the N-series great functionality and designs. 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%. Pluses include superb screen, fantastically easy to navigate, text etc. Brilliant MP3 player function, fast, loads of options, songs organised by track, album or artist. Using adapter; costing almost nothing on ebay top quality standard headphones can be uesd. Only minuses are camera i only average but fine for casual snaps to be shown on phone screen & battery life average. On;y lasted a day with me using all features & playing with menus, MP3 etc. I would suggest a life of 3 days under normal light texting/calls. To me I would say this about normal for this sort of phone. Another bonus is that a huge selection of lovely free themes can be downloaded from internet & transferred via mini sd card, some really col themes out there! Rating: Reviewed by Stayinnocent on 04/04/2008 I just bought this phone. My last being a very basic 2600. So I'm still trying to figure out most of the features, but it's exactly what I was looking for. I would recommend reading lots of reviews before buying it though as I'm sure this phone wouldn't be for everyone. Rating: Reviewed by Simon on 02/04/2008 If only it had a 3.2 mega pixel camera this would be the perfect phone! Everything else about it is spot on. Rating: Reviewed by Dawn on 02/04/2008 Brilliant phone. The slogan is accurate 'simply beautiful, beautifully simple'........I highly recommend the 6300. Rating: Reviewed by Samuel on 31/03/2008 This is a great phone and have been using this for 7 months now with no problems. I had one accident with it and ended up in a lake with the phone in my pocket. I dried it out and this still works fine, in my opinion this shows superb quality. The battery life does pull this down abit, but still a very well built mobile. Rating: Reviewed by Sean on 31/03/2008 excellent mobile, does all the tasks that i need, highlighting the music player interface is much better (easier) than any other mobile that i've used. battery life could've been enhanced for longer usage. very fast at starting up, camera is abit slow and can make images blurr. but i'm not fussy i like it and i recommend it to many nokia fans Rating: Reviewed by carol on 29/03/2008 i had this phone as an upgrage from a nokia 6111 its ok but i do like the slide feature of the 6111 instead of having to lock the keys but thats just me. the music player is excellent i use it whilst i'm jogging i've had no problems with the battery life other than when i play the games and even then its not too bad. all in all i would give it 5 out of 5 but i must say its not my personal favourite. 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. I'm now in a battle with Nokia to get a replacement phone that isn't Nokia, and so far I'm not impressed with their customer service. Rating: Reviewed by Kumaresan Vibhakar. Chennai, India on 25/03/2008 I had lived till 2001 October 07 with The various models of Motorola including the previous & last Motorola RAZR2V8. One day all of the sudden the V8 packed up & that's it. My very close friend of mine lent his Nokia 6300 for the temperory use since he had a 2nd phone a Sony Ericsson K800i. In the begining I had tough time getting used to it. The friend who loaned the 6300 spent some time with me & taught me all the Gizmos. U know I am stumped & would like to say that this is a super & magnifisant phone to own one. Eeach & this phone works flawlesly & it has every thing a person requires. Hats off to Nokia. A lovely instrument. I called my son who is settled in Melbourne got one un locked Nokia 6300 on 15th of Jan 2008. I don't require any thing for another 3 years.(yes they are Solid, Sleek & superb) Kumaresan Vibhakar 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!!!! The technology simply isn't there yet, so get on with your lives without the need to surf the web every second! One fault with this is that it seems "slippery" and is easy to drop. But hey-good phone. Rating: Reviewed by Julian on 24/03/2008 Great Phone - My only gripe is the fact the the ringer/speaker is load enough, so i keep missing calls because i cant hear it. Apart from that though, its a good phone Rating: Reviewed by Cam on 23/03/2008 had my 6300 for about a month and i'm in love with it. the only problem is the battery life its pretty short i'm forced to charge it every night, not something i'm used. but other then that small inconvenience my 6300 has been an amazing phone the speaker is super loud and the camera is amazing! Rating: Reviewed by Sophie on 22/03/2008 Well, for me this phone is the best phone ever. 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! Rating: Reviewed by azam on 22/03/2008 This phone is a good phone but it extremely similar to the nokie 6230i which you can now grab for about 30 pounds brand new.Only difference is that the camera has been upgraded from 1.3 to 2.0 megapixel.and the 6300 is more of a stylish phone.the nokia 6300 does not represent good value for money Rating: Reviewed by Divya on 21/03/2008 amazing phone..cudn't believe wat i was doin wen i decided to buy dis phone in singapore only on d shopkeeper's insistance.but now i thank him every time i hold it in my hands.

BATTERY-d only thing bout d phone dat bothers.but wid moderate usage can last fr 48 hrs.not TOO big a problem. was looking fr a gud phone coz my sis wanted dis phone of mine wen i happened to write dis review.n i must say i couldn't find a better "all-in-one" phone.i just cant let it go :) Rating: Reviewed by James Brevitt on 20/03/2008 i have had two of these phones, the fist one just broke(died and would come back to life)when i was movinf files, and the second had the same problem when using bluetooth. had to be replaced wih loss of everting on the phone that wasnt saved to sim/memory card but otherwise ok Rating: Reviewed by SARAH on 20/03/2008 Despite all the good reviews associated with this phone, mine was terrible! The sceen cracked easily and at first, was only a small crack but the pixels then started turning green around the crack..? Another problem was listening to music. 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!

Love it. Battery powers great aswell, been trying to get it down for ages so could charge it up for the recommend 12hrs for when go Birmingham.....not working!!! Rating: Reviewed by EO on 20/03/2008 I have had this phone from since it came to the German market. 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. Rating: Reviewed by griffmeister on 20/03/2008 Love Nokia's - reliable - this one is lush - I thought I had mis-read the specification that it had a 2 million megapixel - 2 million my foot, it's utter dog.

The user manual requires a degree in esp and the back of the phone (the metal bit) is cheap metal which, no matter how careful you are, will get scratched. Mostly the menus are intuitive but sometimes you feel you are out on a limb when it comes to installing picture messaging and internet usage.

The phone and its design and interface is actually very good. However, battery life is less than 24 hours, very poor signal reception (i do mean very) and absolutely plagued with problems. Talk to your local nokia service centrea bout the most problematic phone they have and bingo this is it. If they bring out a version that works then definatly get it but in its current state its not much use. [Editor's reply: Hi Hoppers, our reviews are not paid for, nor in any way influenced by Nokia. They are genuine reviews, just different opinions to yours.] Rating: Reviewed by Jaci on 05/03/2008 In the first 3 day when I bought it I hated it... because of the battery.

But I'm very happy about the rest. One of the best mobiles I've ever had. Slim, good looking, good display, easy to use,... I like it. Rating: Reviewed by no. 1 on 02/03/2008 Awful phone. My friends got it. Hate it. Nothing good to ay about it 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. Rating: Reviewed by Donna Cull on 01/03/2008 I have had this phone twice now. It broke both times. The first time, my friend was sending me some songs when my phone turned it self off. I tried to turn it back on but it flashed a white screen twice then went off again. As I had had the phone over a month my phone supplier (Tesco) required me to send it back to them. 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. I'm hoping to return and get a different phone this time, as obviously this phone is not the best.

Rating: Reviewed by Kevo,Sligo,Ireland on 26/02/2008 Nokia...'Never Again’. after a long history with several Nokia fones I recently decided to upgrade to the 6300,what a mistake, this has to be the WORST fone I have ever had. 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. Happy Again!!! Hope this dissuades any potential buyer(s) and maybe Nokia will wake up and get with it again....

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! Rating: Reviewed by Mamman Nasir on 24/02/2008 I love the phone very will Rating: Reviewed by Ms. Khan on 22/02/2008 I've had this phone for 8 months and I absolutely love it!! 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.

It works great with Apple's Mac OS X iSync with a small hacks. The phone is simple to use and works fine out of the box. A very basic phone indeed. I don't need many BIG features but the most important one being able to iSync with my Mac. The screen is very clear and crisp supporting up to 16 million colors. The camera is 2 MP but if you need better picture quality, get a real camera! If you are looking for a simple and basic phone without 3G and want to be able to iSync with your Mac, I highly recommended 6300.

Love the fact you can rearrange the main menu to suit you, makes it so much easier to use. Camera, though only a 2 megapixel, seems good but probably helps that the screen is so amazing. Only problem with the screen is it's quite bright so hurts my eyes after a while sometimes. Memory isn't that good but most items store to the memory card so that solves the problem. Was quite impressed with the volume, didn't expect it to be as loud as it was. Didnt like the appearance at first but got used to it and now love it.

So I am truly impressed by the technological advance :-)! After a month of use I find that: 1) battery life is not as bad as some people claim, especially after cycling the battery a couple of times from full to empty it now lasts for three days of moderate use (including approx. a hour of screen reading per day - see below). 2) I knew about the e-mail and web clients (that´s why I chose this phone) but I am pleasantly surprised that I found on the Net even a PDF reader and an e-book reader for this phone - I use it a lot when commuting! 3) Contrary to what Nokia recommends, it does work perfectly even with other mini-USB cables, e.g. from an Olympus camera or from an external hard drive. 4) The camera is just enough for taking party pictures to embarass people afterwards - fine for me :-) 5) The only minnor annoyance is that the USB cover cannot be opened without taking off the back cover - but that is indeed a minor one.
