Nokia 6300
Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: Our favourite Nokia for years and the only
Nokia phone ever to be rated 5 stars by our users. A classic
design with a beautiful stainless steel finish. Slim, elegant, easy
to use and with a good quality 2 megapixel camera, a built-in MP3
player, memory expandable to 2 Gbytes, and wireless Bluetooth connectivity.
Only the below-average battery life stops this from getting 5 stars.
Available in silver, black, white and chocolate.
Review:
March 2007. Updated June 2009.
Nokia's
slogan for the 6300 is "Simply beautiful - beautifully simple."
The beauty comes from the sleek, classic design with stainless-steel
surfaces, and the simplicity reflects the fact that this is an all-round
kind of phone: not a smartphone, not 3G, but including all of the
functionality that most people want. Sounds like a winner! Could
Nokia finally be getting back to what it used to do best - a phone
that does just what you want and does it well?
Certainly
the phone looks good when you pick it up. It's like the early 6-series
Nokia's: exclusive- and expensive-looking, practically designed
with a good sized screen and functional keypad, yet updated for
2007 with a 5-way navigation button and high quality colour display.
The size is perfect: it's very slim (just 11.7mm) and not too wide,
and the weight is enough to make it feel solid and substantial,
but not so much that it feels heavy. The keypad is a decent size
and is easy to use. The display is exceptional: a high resolution
240 x 320 pixel display with an amazing 16 million colours. On the
outside the 6300 ticks all the right boxes.
On
the inside, the phone is equipped with all the features that a typical
user would expect. The camera is 2 megapixels with an 8x digital
zoom and with a video recording function. Enough for casual photography,
but not brilliant. There's a music player and an FM radio. A standard
Nokia headset is included in the sales package and support for a
Bluetooth stereo
headset is included. Memory for storing music is limited, with
just 7.8 Mbytes of user memory, however you can expand the memory
to a maximum of 2 Gbytes by buying a microSD
card, which will give you as much memory as an iPod Nano. Both
Bluetooth and USB connectivity are supported, and the phone has
GPRS and EDGE for fast data downloads. Battery life is below average,
which is often the case with superslim phones. The user interface
is a standard Series 40 interface, that Nokia users will be used
to, but with the latest enhancements. It's basically a very easy
phone to use, with everything well thought out and some real attention
to detail.
This
is our favourite Nokia phone for a long time. It really is beautiful
- quality just oozes out of the phone when you pick it up. The metallic
finish completes the look, although this may show scratches if not
treated carefully. Ergonomics and user-friendliness are good. The
strange thing is that Nokia built their reputation with phones like
this, but what have they been doing these past few years with their
funky but unusable fashion-phones and their buggy brick-like smartphones?
Welcome back Nokia! It was worth the wait!
The
new Nokia 6303 Classic updates
this phone with new features including more memory and improves
the battery life too.
Features of the Nokia 6300 include:
- 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
- Video camera (176 x 144 pixels)

Even comes with Opera browser. Voice dialing is a joke (try AA)

Being a sucker for a pretty face i went and bought the 8800 about
2 months after it came out. I really just use me phone for calling
and texting so camera, mp3 and all that stuff has no affect on how
i use my phone. I thought the 8800 was great EXCEPT for the awful
battery life. This is my first proper upgrade since then and i think
its the bizz. Had it 2 days and its great. If the battery lasts
3 days thats ok with me as im use to charging the 8800 once a day
and having to carry a spare battery. Has all the features you need
if you need a phone for talking to people on. Great size and feel.
Ill stick with this one for a while.

I highly recommend this phone. Had it for nearly 2 months. No nonsense
design with an appealing feel. I gasped with pleasure when I first
took this out of the box in the O2 store. One serious flaw is poor
battery life mainly due to the fat power-hungry TFT screen (good
visibility in direct sunlight). I am lucky if I get 3 days use before
having to charge. The camera is grainy but good enough for snaps.
If you want to browse the internet try one of those business phones.
If you are a budding photographer - buy a camera. This is an excellent
well-designed no frills personal communicator.

Never been a big fan of cells, as it's sort of a status mark around
here, but my old Siemens M65 was pretty much dead, so I needed a
replacement. Siemens/Benq have gone down the drain so I turned my
eye to good ole' Nokia. 6300 had to be it. It's one of these phone
you keep holding in your palms for hours, because it feels just
so... right. The menu / feature are really intuitive (even though
I never used a Nokia before). I never cared about cell cameras (maybe
because I own a Canon dSLR :), and 3G isn't all that popular as
of yet, so I don't care about these. My sole disappointment is the
battery life -- heavy usage -- 24 hours, moderate usage 36 hours,
light usage about 48 hours. Talk time really drains the battery
down, and that's what people use a phone for, right? It doesn't
have IR, but come one IR is dead given BlueTooth. I really recommend
this phone to people who would give it moderate usage, don't need
the latest BS technology (such as camera flash etc.) but enjoy style
and grace. It's a gem.

I've had this phone for a while,very nice and handy,basically above
many phones to date.Practicality is excelence for those who actually
use it as a phone,infact it'more than sufficient considering what
a phone should provide and the real plus is all functions work very
well and fast.Personally I don't consider camera and video performance
to be in first place of the technical spec,what matter most is size,built
quality.speedy and clear reception.This phone has good keyboard,the
side +/- buttons deserve a credit for being hard,which is always
accidentaly hit while pulling out from pockets.The display under
sunlight is also worth a praise as it is visible and clear.The battery
is normal but not poor,because while phone still new many people
play with it whole day just to explore but when they actually use
it normally then it's different,and that's what I experience.In
my opinion this is a very good phone to had and when you owned one
you'll realize the nokia 6300 is going to be your companion for
a long time (I had the n70 for two years),I'm very much happier
with this and at it's price it's very reasonable.Oh, I almost forget
to mention that the mini USB that link you to your computor is not
in the package but if you have a digital camera,the USB cable from
it is usable,mine works from my Samsung digital camera USB cable,don't
forget to install the software from the CD onto your pc.I want to
share this with all who owned the 6300, I'm vey happy with mine.

Excellent Phone - the only thing is the battery life - not good

Nokia 6300 have the same problem? But from other reveiws, i think
all are the same. not sure how Nokia managed to botch that up!!!
Camera is good - even though it has no flash - if you activate 'night
mode' the picture comes out as if its day time and i would say even
better than having flash. nice, slim, elegant and stylish - definitely.
Would recommend it, but if charging the battery daily or every two
days is a problem - then dont get it. IT does all the things you
want it to do. No fancy things that may annoy you.

Nokia got it right this time. Many other phones boast of functions
and superior technology in a fancy looking but cheap quality plastic
casing. Most of the phones are attractive while on display but when
you got them home you'll soon regret their constuction, slow or
excessive functions more than neccesary. While it's still new you
might overlook all these but after the honeymoon you start to hate
charging it. Nokia 6300 is the phone you can withstand these with
three good points- first the excelent construction and it's material
used,second it's perfect size and third,speedy interface. I confirm
this is so far best.

albeit the rattling power switch. The numberic buttons are great
and notably comfortable to use. And the blue alert lights on the
side are a great touch! Internally its a typical nokia interface,
with the ability to customise everything. The standard Noir theme
is also great. Feature wise its good, with everything you could
want, with a very good 2MP camera. In fact i found this camera to
be sharper than the 2MP one on my previous 6280, and that had a
flash! Battery life isnt great, im not a heavy user but will usually
make at least 40mins of calls per day, and it last 2days, so not

One of the sleekest sets Nokia has produced till to date. Classy
and stylish with brilliant 16.7 million colours screen. Decent screen
size. Excellent functionality for people who are looking for a simple
phone with not so extravagant E and N-Series like features. Beware
of finger smudges and scratches on both the plastic and metal covers.
I suggest keeping it in a protective casing although original leather
case is not available for all regions and preloaded softwares also
differ by region. It has an N-Series type thin charging pin connector
so old Nokia chargers wont work unless you have a converter. Solidly
built …. No creaks. Boasts a radio with a nice music player
although the quality of the bundled stereo ear buds is average,
Mini SD up to 2 GB available. Phone’s internal user available
memory of 7.8 MB is considered quite lame these days although it
does come packed with a 128 MB card. Nevertheless, you will end
up buying a bigger card sooner than you think . Poor camera results
especially in low light as compared to other 2MP cameras in the
same price rang. No flash and lens protection cover. Video recording
also pitiable. Camera is by far the weakest feature on the phone
as far as I am concerned. Loud but mono speaker at the back. Below
average battery life as compared to other 6 series models. Volume
buttons on the side hard to press especially when held closer to
the ear during a conversation. No 3G. Earphone above the screen
could have been louder; a definite problem in a crowded place (I
tried sticking the phone as close to my ear as possible in a restaurant
to hear the person on the other side of the line but it was hard).
Average navigation key functionality especially the upper key is
hard to press as it is quite close to the screen and you invariably
end up either smudging the screen or to save the screen, pressing
the center button (I recommend using the nail of your thumb to press
the upper navi key). Not recommende d for people with above average
size fingers. The blue lights on sides of the phone only blink twice
for an incoming message alert but not indefinitely. This seems useless
since you already get to know about the incoming message through
the sound and vibration alert. The cool blue lights should do more
like continue to blink and remind me about my unread messages till
they are read. In my opinion it can be fixed with a software upgrade
by Nokia. The painted red power sign on the plastic power button
on top will not last long; mine lasted a week with only decent moderate
use.... it just vanished with the touch. So painting quality on
the plastic is an issue. I was not expecting it from a device like
this and after paying more the $330 for it. All in all, the 6300
can be called 'A physically fit phone with a mild case of flu'.
For looks I give it 8.5 out of 10. Camera gets a poor 5.5. Battery
gets a mediocre 6. Functionality gets a decent 7.8. Screen colour
gets a whooping 9. Overall a well above average 7.5 to an 8 for
its class. As for its overall features & looks, you are quite likely
to end up calling it “My Precious!” Recommended!

Singlehandedly best phone I've ever owned. Build quality is excellent,
second to none. And however ludricrous it seems, I agree with Saad:
I like to hold the phone in my hand, as it is very... comforting.
This, of course creates a problem. The silver finish is GORGEOUS
and insanely hard to maintain and keep clean. I've had it for four
days and I've already managed to scratch it. Attracts fingerprints
like no other, since it is so pretty and nice to hold, everyone
seems to WANT to hold it. Not a flashy phone, but gorgeous and a
GOOD phone. Does things phones are meant to do insanely well. Call
quality is excellent. Keypad is a pleasure to use to text, unlike
the MOTO phones. Beautiful display. Can't seem to stop gushing about
this phone. I have no regrets. BUY THIS PHONE!

The phone is pretty decent looks wise, reminds me of the classic
phones made by nokia, interface is very responsive, .gif wallpapers
really look very good, applications do not take a long time to launch,
speaker sound is one of the best i have seen in nokia, included
games are decent enough, would have liked to get a data cable in
the package but it wasn't there, back cover is hard to take off
and attach properly, build quality of the top power button is disappointing,
in all a rock solid effort by nokia, it may have a life longer than
the 6600.

The Nokia 6300 has perhaps the best build quality among mobile phones
currently available in the market. It benefits from ample features
(such as the 2 megapixel camers and the mp3/video player), unbeatable
design and finish, and an easy-to-use user interface. The ergonomics
are truly fantastic and the phone feels solid (in fact, I find it
mildly comforting!). It excels over all its rivals. Sony Ericsson
have produced some good camera phones and walkman phones but their
phones are essentially pieces of plastic. The same can be said for
Samsungs, most LGs and some Nokias. However, the 6300 is an exceptional
phone that exudes elegance and simplicity. The only drawbacks are
the lack of flash and 3G support. But all things considered, I feel
that the Nokia 6300 is the best phone of 2007 and one that does
not everything but most things, and does them well. If you want
a phone with advanced features like flash and autofocus and 3G either
just for the sake of having them or because you regularly use them,
then this is not the phone for you. But, if you want to stand apart
from others and want a phone that will never let you down and survive
the winds of time, then the Nokia 6300 is a phone for YOU.

I needed a replacement for my 6230i... and I was told the E50 was
it but I changed my mind... as the E50 is a bit bulky and ugly though
it has features that most business users need I think Nokia got
it the wrong way around... this has most features that you need
and not to mention an outstanding stand-by time.. all it needs is
infra-red and it is complete. That is the only let down for me but
otherwise I love it.. even if I have to be careful so it doesnt
get scratched.

This is truly an excellent phone, probably one of the best on the
market at the moment, but it could so easily have been the best.
the sillyest little things prevent it from being outstanding: the
awkward volume switch on the side, no dedicated camera button or
flash, the headphone quality is dull and should have a volume control
on it, fonts could be larger still especially in text, small clock,
hey Nokia pay attention! everyone needs the time so a nice big analogue
or digital clock taking up the whole screen even on 'stand-by' is
what we need ok? personal photo's and themes need to fill out the
whole screen not just a portion of it. and fourtnightly repeats
have been removed for some reason.... :( having said all that, this
phone is tougher than it looks, and is for the demanding user who
also likes style. well done for the standard usb and headphone sockets.
very good camera, easy to use, long battery life, easily the best
phone nokia have produced so far.

Outstanding. I am very impressed with this phone. My first Nokia.
I have previously used SE's, Samsung's and Motorola's and this is
the best phone I've used. It has a very fast and capable processor
(often over looked in phones) but this allows you to play really
good quality games, while listening to the radio or playing mp3's.
Its very impressive. Call quality is clear. Texting is simple. It
feels good in your hands and button pushes give a nice crisp click.
I've now had this phone for four weeks and use it daily as an mp3
player and radio. I was worried after reading some reports about
it stalling/crashing, but I haven't experienced a single one. It's
best feature has to be its amazing screen. Its a VGA screen, the
first I've used on a phone. Works well outside on sunny days and
looks beautiful indoors! 240x320 resolution. Its a cmos camera,
so don't expect it to compair to SE's latest line of shooter/phones,
but its a phone that screams quality, has enough features to keep
you busy and just works! Just found a new feature recently, it has
a bluetooth exchange program, so when you're in a club you can message
people, swap photos and movies all free, it really is damn cool!

I'm not too bothered about phones, to be honest, but Nokia have
gone back to basics here and have produced a lovely little phone.
If you're not interested in 3G etc then this is probably the nicest
phone on the consumer market. Not for business people as the talk
time is not great, but I expect this is because the media functions
use up quite a bit of memory. You will not be disappointed if you
buy this phone.

I have been using this phone since February and I am pretty pleased
with it. I upgraded to it from Samsung D600, which I really liked.
I have now gotten used to using a Nokia again. It feels great to
hold, it's easy to use, the display is super sharp, battery life
is v good, and it's a fab looking phone. One downside for me (&
the reason I give it 4 stars) is that it isn't a very loud phone
and the standard ring and message tones are not great. I have the
volume set to 5, but still miss calls (the D600 was way louder!)
I also don't think the sound quality on calls is too hot - it could
be much clearer. Again, the D600 was better. However, I like the
phone, and would recommend it.

This is a fantastic phone. I've had mine for about 3 weeks. It was
so simple to set up and I've personalised it already. I've never
had anything other than a NOkia, as they're so user friendly.The
phone itself is a fantastic design, very sleek and simple. The features,
not so simple. Everything but a teas-made on this phone. The camera
takes fantastic pics, despite being only a 2 megapixel. The only
drawback to this phone is that the battery doesn't last too long.
I think this may be due to the fact that there is a blue light,
indicating when you receive a new text message or have a reminder
from your calendar. All in all, I'd strongly recommend this phone.

I was reluctant to change my phone until I found one I really liked.
Then I saw a preview of the 6300, fell in love with the looks and
ordered it as soon as I could. It’s the most stylish phone
I have had and part of the appeal is that it isn’t a 3G smartphone,
which I don’t need so, hopefully, less to go wrong. It looks
and feels classy, has a very clear display and the keys light up
blue, so are easy to see in all lighting. Texting is quick and easy.
I suppose a minor drawback to some might be that you have to take
the back off to remove the memory card but as I don’t do this
very often it doesn’t matter to me and keeps the phone looking
sleek. The camera is ok, not wonderful, but has various effects,
such as sepia and greyscale which are interesting. I agree with
the voice recognition complaint but I can live with that. I love
this phone
