Bad Points
Slim so fits in pockets easily. Bigger screen. Some texting options are better, some worse.
I found the number buttons to be too small on the Nokia 6300 and my hand gets cramped when I text. Photo quality is bad in my opinion as i don't believe it has taken a good picture yet. Battery life is short, short, short. Phone is slim, but feels quite heavy. Like the feature of most used names for texting but you can't get to them quickly by typing in first letter of their name (silly). No games on it (you have to download anything you want to play). But then, you wouldn't really want to play any games on it as the battery wouldn't last long enough! Personalisation of the phone is very limited and it stores your pictures in the oddest places.
General Comments
Have used Nokia for years & generally feel they are pretty good value. This phone disappointed me from the start though. It's ok overall, but not sure it's a huge improvement on the last 6300. Don't think the design of it was particularly thoughtful. Am now very tempted to go with the iPhone as it looks so much easier (and more fun) to use.
