When Nokia designed their slogan for
the Nokia 6300 – “Simply beautiful. 
Beautifully simple.”  - they
meant business!  The 6300 has been pared
down to the absolute essentials for a camera phone.  While the sheer simplicity of this phone might not be for
everybody, if you are looking for a simple camera phone solution here’s what
you’ll get with this NokiaÂ…

 

For starters, the camera itself can
take photos up to a very serviceable 2 megapixels.  There’s an 8x digital zoom built in.  Although there’s no LED photo light and it doesn’t include a
flash, the camera does support video recording.

 

You won’t get far with the built in
memory, which weighs in at under 8 megabytes, but there is a microSD slot that
will support up to 2 gigabtyes.  Nokia
includes a 128 megabyte microSD card, which I would say is the minimum size you
need to make this phone functional. 

 

The phone supports multimedia
although it doesn’t include support for some of the popular formats like WMA,
but does of course support mp3 as well as several other miscellaneous formats.  There’s a built in music player, and you can
get FM radio in stereo with Visual Radio capabilities, and there is a built in
video player, as well.  The ring tones
can be either polyphonic or real music. 
You can even play JAVA based games on this phone.  There is a headphone socket included, which
of course enhances the stereo experience.

 

For those users that tend to be a
bit more traditional, there’s a 12 button alpha numeric keypad as well as 5
more buttons for dedicated menu and function use.  The buttons are relatively large and easy to manipulate, and not
having to use a touch screen was actually a bit refreshing.

 

The two inch screen (30 x 40 mm)
displays in 24 bits and in as many as 16 million colours for a rich visual
experience.  The resolution on the
display is 240 x 320 pixels. 

 

The lifespan of the battery can be a
bit of a limitation for power users, but quite frankly, a power user is
unlikely to be attracted to buying this phone in the first place.  The battery will last for 3.5 hours of talk
time and a little over 14 days on standby.

 

This phone is capable of surfing the
Internet, and includes a browser that supports XHTML as well as support for
Adobe Flash media using the Flash Lite technology, which goes a long way
towards enhancing the multimedia experience of mobile phone surfing.  You can even stream video.  You’ll also be able to check your email
while on the go, and text message, too. 
On the delicious side, the phone uses Nokia Xpress for audio messaging,
one of the fastest and easiest ways to send voice or sound clips.

 

The phone include the award winning
Nokia suite for managing your personal information, as well as support for USB
connectivity.

 

The 6300 is a solid and well made
choice for a simplified camera phone, and as long as you have an understanding
of what the phone can and cannot do before purchasing , as far as we can find
you shouldn’t have any reason to be unhappy with your choice.
