Nokia 6300

still got my nokia 6300 so as my partner, we use them mainly as they have the best organizers we have found. one problem is. When making calls they tend to make your ears burn so don't use them for long calls. great as an organizer but not for making calls.

i want to remove restriction code on my 6300 nokia phon

I bought the phone few months back for over £120 as pay as you go sim. I did overpay for it, but back then it was first sleek design by Nokia. I still have it, only had to buy new micro SD card, as by updating the software the standard 128mb got locked with a password and you couldn't unlock until you went to the service and pay for the password, where new 2gb card cost me £5.

In general nice design, not too heavy or bulky, 2 years of clicking, smsing, answering phone and no trace of usage or wear.

I wouldn't recommend it to a friend now, because today there are many more lovely, thinner designs with many more features with similar price tag phones on the market. Back then it was a pioneer.

Still have, still am using it. Has a nice 2mpx camera, that captured first hours of life after my baby daughter birth.

Good battery on standby, useful features like sleepmode and screensavers.

I think it's a good phone. The Nokia 6300 is sleek and very easy to use.

For the price you're paying, obviously you shouldn't be expecting many functions. I would recommend this to anyone who's interested for a basic phone which has the usual functions and is slim n sexy! The battery life isn't too bad. I only charge it every 3 days, which is good compared to my previous motorola, and sony which i had to charge every night! The system never lags or restarts by itself, which was one of the major problems I suffered with before this. So overall, I'd say this is a pretty good phone, if you're looking for something simple n basic!

I just wanted a cheapish, solid phone, nothing too fancy and easy to use.

The Nokia 6300 ticked every box. Looks stylish - and has great functionlity. Its not too hard on the old pocket either, i got mine from tesco contract mobile and have to say - it was sent the next day and had no problems. Im really happy with it and would definatley recommend it.

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.

It felt substantial yet sleek

It isn't robust... it's too 'boutique' and didn't last me beyond a week - hence where I've given '5' it's because I can only be fair since I didn't get to know it before the screen broke in my pocket & it went to the charity recycling folk... Do not recommend the Nokia 6300.

Light weight, slim, easy to go in pocket. Reliable and robust (been dropped a few times).

.Excellent overall. Current time owned 15 months and see no reason to upgrade purely for cosmetic reasons. It does what a phone's supposed to do - what more do you want?

The Nokia 6300 is still a very popular contendor in the mid-range mobile phone market, although it's almost two years old. It's immense popularity is what made me buy it.

The phone itself looks incredible. It's very stylish and beautiful - very classy and suitable if you want to do a bit of showing-off. The sleek 'Nokia' logos are great finishing touches.

Start-up time is okay. After the tidy Nokia welcome opening theme (featuring the "connecting hands" trademark), whether you skip the welcome or not, you're subjected to a blank white screen for a couple of seconds. That's not irritating, you might think, but it was when I was desperate to ring the police to report a fire at the local park. Oh well, the phone isn't going to be perfect. Maybe I should've been normal and have already had the phone switched on.

Most mobile phones now function also as MP3 players. Hence the Nokia 6300 isn't an exception. What I really like about the player on this phone is the ability to listen to music files through the very impressive loudspeaker. Sound on it is very clarified and isn't as lacking in bass as you'd expect for such a small speaker.

The screen is very, very bright and is viewable right up to the brightest of sunlight conditions.

Onboard memory capacity is dire, but this is completely overcome by the fact that the phone comes supplied with a 512MB microSD card which can be upgraded to an even higher capacity storage card in the future.

The biggest disadvantage of using this phone is its battery life. One charge lasts me just one day when I send about 20 texts per day and take a photo or two, which isn't at all good. It's annoying that I have to charge the battery every night but at least each charge is suitable for 16 hours or so.

The vibration feature isn't very strong. On many occasions, I've had the phone on silent in my pocket and never realised that I've received texts or phonecalls because the vibrating has been to pathetic.

Overall, though, this phone is brilliant. The enormous let-down is the battery life. I live in hope that Nokia will develop a new battery for the phone that can be purchased to give longer battery life, but it won't be fair that I'll have to pay extra.

Good phone in general I've had 2 as business phones, S40 software is robust but not a match for the S60 OS found in the N-Series phones. For a Nokia the phone is very stylish and slim. 2MP camera produces excellent pictures outside but struggles in poor light without a flash. Some of the menu buttons are a bit small and the silver D-Pad is a bit narrow. The actual phone buttons are of a good size and are responsive. Battery life is a bit poor and degrades quickly as the phone gets older. Screen is excellent however and the 240x320 resolution really helps. An excellent business phone.
