A tribute to Nokia's original forte (simple, easy to use handsets), the Nokia 6300 is a welcome break in the deluge of flamboyant mobiles in the market. Not loaded with any sort of multimedia capabilities, this quintessential handset performs the most basic functions in an impressive manner. Thus, scoring high in terms of usage and usability.
Nokia 6300 is a robust phone, made from the combination of tough stainless steel covers and glossy, expensive black plastic. But fortunately the make does not make the gadget heavy. The Nokia 6300 comes as a classy slim design, with only 12mm depth. It is comfortable to carry, or to be slipped into the pockets. The phone features a good 320x240-pixel (QVGA) display, that can emit up to 16 million colours. This specially becomes a treat for viewing pictures and videos. The screen also makes reading texts and emails quite easy. Further, since the display is quite tall, one does not need a squint to read things. Nokia 6300 comes with a large keypad - with well spaced keys. This makes typing extremely easy and also reduces the scope of error. Adding more excitement and fun to the Nokia 6300, the handset comes with blue lights on either side, which glows when there is an unread text message.
Being simple, Nokia 6300 runs on Series 40 user interface. This makes the phone very user friendly to operate and understand. One of the appreciated feature is its Menu. It is easy to navigate through, and one can see the Menu as a grid of icons, as tabs or as a list. One can also rearrange the icons in the order of preference.
The Nokia 6300 boasts a good 2 MP camera, a music player, a video player, an FM radio and a voice recorder. While the camera comes with option to adjust several settings, including a timer and night mode, the music player supports MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, H.263 and H.264 files. And for connectivity, the device offers the versatility of Bluetooth, EDGE and GPRS.
