Nokia 6300 review: The slim Finn - read the full textNokia 6300 is the new Nokia star in the Series 40 3rd Edition line. It attacks with conservative design, miniUSB, and a slim body with steel plates. The famous Finnish mobile manufacturer has been long expected to launch a new high-end, classic-look phone with state-of-the-art functional menu to substitute the enormously successful couple Nokia 6230 and Nokia 6230i.

yeah i almost saw that kind of word in the review of K800,W850 and so much more. the "ancient" word is never used with nokias qcif phones. neither any of nokia's s40 phones don't have an api to enhance video capabilities of their camera capabilities while SE have K800,K790,W850,W710,k610,K550,K810,Z610,W660,W58­0 and Z750 enabling video enhancing features like increasing the frames per second(FPS),resolution of their video and even enhancing the camera possibilities like point focusing, white balance calibration, ISO and much much more. this is possible with the help of JP-7 platform because SE is specialized in making java enabled phones in which some nokia fanboys always bashes SE's java phones while not knowing anything about it. so i seem to agree with the guy with no name that gsmarena is kinda biased to nokia's s40 phones.

hands down you'll know who's better Jp-8 vs S40 3rd edition. just look at their own developer's site and see it's available APIs and compare who's having more and better APIs. this site must be fair with reviewing all phones. avoid bias attitudes!

GSMArena why dont you say 'ANCIENT QCIF resolution' as you do in all SE phones, for 6300 QCIF is not ancient? biased site!!

Bought this phone approx a month ago.

Advantages:

- very slim and ergonomic (the best change for 6100)
- nice metal finishes (very similar feel to 8800)
- very large and perfect screen (best in nokias)
- large fonts in phonebook and massaging (big helps for eldery)
- very fast sortware comparing to any smart phone
- generally very good for daily use and business, easy to carry

Disadvantages

- weak battery (if you are a hard user, prepare for dayly charge)
- no 3g or wireless
- small email size, only 300kb

Nokia does not always make the best phones, but their UI is much better than others by far. Moto being worse, SE is decent but other than for playing music, the Nokia S40 or S60 UI is just much better.

no more comments in the UI of the S40 and S60s. it's great but bear in mind that the UI in all SE models simply kicks it down as far as intuitiveness is concerned.
