Nokia 6300 – a great pre-pay mobile phone
Given all the features that come with the latest mobile phones, it’s sometimes easy to forget what the devices are really supposed to be – and that’s mobile phones people can use for calling, texting, and sending pictures. We give full marks to Nokia then for remembering that some people just want the basics, which is what they’ve provided with the Nokia 6300.
The entire approach is back-to-basics, but done with style. The candy bar design is easy on the hand, and about as old school as anyone can imagine these days. Quite conventionally, the keys are below the screen, responsive and easy to use, while the display on the screen is sharp, and navigates quite intuitively (to be fair, there’s not a great deal to navigate). However, in a nod to today, users can customise the phone a little, adding both ringtones and wallpapers.
With just a two megapixel camera built in, and no flash, it’s definitely not a phone for camera enthusiasts, but in many ways that’s the point. This handset is for being in contact with people; anyone wanting all the modern extras will need something more upscale and expensive.
That simplicity is what has won over critics in mobile phone reviews, and made the Nokia 6300 a big seller. For all those who want to constantly upgrade, there are also many who just want a phone to be a phone, and keep their lives uncomplicated. They want something good and reliable, and the Nokia 6300 fills that bill perfectly – and at a reasonable price.
