Nokia 6300 - Phone Review Stainless steel - Nokia 6300

04 April 2007
Reviewed by David Hall


In Summary (Average total score: 4.09 stars)

I thoroughly enjoyed reviewing the Nokia 6300. It’s the perfect balance between functionality and style, and did everything I needed it to do quickly and easily. The 16.7 million colour display is an absolute treat to use, and all the other features of the handset don’t leave it in the dark ages.

Being a mid-range handset, the camera is not the best on the market, but as I mentioned in the Camera Performance section, the images and video suffice for MMS messaging and using as wallpapers and screensavers. Including a better quality camera module would have just hiked up the price of the handset.

The included 128MB microSD memory card can be used to store MP3’s, videos, ring tones, and more. There’s an FM stereo radio tuner, Nokia web browser, Java application support, and support for the three major GSM network bands.

I only had two small issues with the 6300, and they were just that – small! I’ll be recommending the 6300 to anyone that asks. With a price tag of just over $400, it’s an affordable and well rounded mid-range handset.
