The Nokia 6300 is Nokia's first attempt on slim phone. On their first go, the manufacturers have managed to keep its thickness to a bare 11.7 mm. This is quite impressive considering the fact that the Nokia 6300 manages to maintain the same simplicity of usage as any other Nokia handset. This comes in as a nice contrast to other fiddly slim phones available in the market. The handset sports a simple and elegant mono block form in a sophisticated stainless steel casing. Usage of metal not only gives the much needed strength to the slim phone, but also gives an old school charm to the handset. Despite such extensive use of metal, the Nokia 6300 is surprisingly light weight, clocking a miserly 91 grams in the weighing scale.



Natural silver shine of the Nokia 6300's casing is accentuated with sleek black elements on the sides of the screen. The TFT based screen itself is among the best in its class, delivering more than 16.7 million different hues and shades. The screen measures 2 inch and hence occupies most of the front fascia. A set of tactile keypad fills up the rest of the handset's front end. On board camera is incorporated on the handset's back – like most of the camera phones available today.

Built in camera module of the Nokia 6300 is 2.0 megapixel. Imagining capabilities of the mobile phone are further enhanced with the inclusion of imagery aids like digital zoom and integrated flash light. Subject distance and bad lighting conditions are now no longer a factor for a good picture with the Nokia 6300. Apart from stills, the handset also supports video recording without any cap on duration. Sharing pictures and videos is just a matter of a few clicks. The Nokia 6300 supports all four GSM mobile networks and changes its band automatically. The handset uses its embedded GPRS and EDGE technology to connect to the Internet. Email client, web browser, instant messenger – the Nokia 6300 has everything that can meet the expectations of even the most demanding mobile phone user.
