BOUGHT IT AT RM1050 ZITRON SET

PACKAGE INCLUDES :

* Handset
* Battery (BL-4С)
* Wired stereo-headset HS-47
* microSD memory card 128 Mb
* User Guide
* CD with software
* Pouch


The clean simple front which is divided into the upper display part and the keypad portion, using different colours which gives a kind of "slider" phone feel.


Simplicity design is applied on the back as well. The camera lense with the speakers at the side which some how reminds me of N91. Self portrait mirror is adsent.


On/Off button is located on the top. It has nice feedback when pressed.


Mini usb jack with rubber cover, 2.5mm earphone jack and the charger slot.


2 MP Camera, its the average 2MP like every other nokia.
The speaker is loud enough even in noisy environment.
The sound quality is same with my 5300 Xpress Music, u can hear the presense of the bass.


Nothing on this side, just the LED light


The Volume rocker is located at the right together with another LED light



The protruding keypad is very responsive and it gives a very nice tactile feedback.
Great for heavy sms users..
And it lights up in blue which blends well with the default Nokia theme.


The LED light at each side LIGHTS UP to inform user on missed call/sms. Very useful.

what a great review. thankz bro. Thinking to buy this hanphone since it lauch.

As u can see here, the little scratches are made by ME. Yes.
When u remove the cover too regular, THAT will happen.
And u can even see black little paint on the stainless steel cover itself.
So, future 6300 users, take note on that.


It took me a while to find the memory card slot...
Support up to 2GB microSD.


The Dpad is very easy to deal with. NO prob here.
Its a finger print magnet from the back to the front..


The pouch comes in the package which is nice but hard to use..
i tried putting in the 6300 and i need to PULL very hard to take it out..
I guess i need to put something in to expand the size a little.


2 stainless steel phones by nokia..



Its the current slimmest Nokia

A short video on the UI


I like :

what else? the slimness/design of course

The built quality of 6300 is . Nothing is loose, the battery cover is tightly shut, no squeaky sound or anything. I can even break my 6288 into half with 6300.

Keypads are nice to press.Very responsive with nice tacticle feedback.

Dont like:

The battery cover is kinda hard to remove/close sometimes.
The phone especially the earpiece area gets warm during long conversation (>30 minutes)

Nice close up views on the mobile. Just got few questions

1) Price on this phone?
2) Will the phone feel hot with the stainless steel back?
3) Are the buttons easy to key in?

I know you might've just gotten it so not enough time to play around. Do let us know once you've tested it. Thx alot...!


Edit: Ok, you've managed to edit and answer some of my queries..

Added on February 6, 2007, 7:06 pmIt's that a quick-key silent mode for the # button I see there?

This post has been edited by sleepyelmo: Feb 6 2007, 07:06 PM

yeah..same as the 5300. i think the all the newer Nokias has that quick button.

5300, 7390, 6300..but not 6288.

Can share some pictures of the UI?

wow...saw this fone in the shop...
very solid feel...

yeah..maybe tomoro..becos battery dead.

yup...

Ok, thx for the info. I don't really follow the mobile ph trends & definitely not savvy
But this model sure got my attention since they advertise big page in newspaper too....

my cousin bought this phone couple days ago. I found the phone slim and really feels solid.

can see from the pic, the UI looks like N6233's.

A clip on the 6300 UI as requested by sonyclie77,

Please refer to Post # 3

Thanks mate.

As panasonic88 mentioned, it looks like the standard UI found in a lot of other Nokia phones.

uuu yeah.
the long awaited review.
btw, i expected the phone to warm up when being used for long conversations.
any slim phones that dont warm up?

Added on February 8, 2007, 11:40 amand can u pls post pics of the complete package?
i wana see which headset they have bundled in.

Box.
Charger.
Headsets.
Manual.
Booklet on "how great" is the 6300.
Cd rom.
Leather Pouch
Flyer on Memory card Promotion
Edifier Speakers promotion flyer exclusively for 6300 owners

Rayzrblade, when someone calls me, the ringing of my 6300 is going from soft then loud. It's not ascending, but a sudden burst of loudness after like 5 seconds of soft ringing. Are you experiencing the same 'problem'?

Not too sure if it's a problem or it's Nokia's intention to not shock the user when a call comes in.

hey i have the similar problem in N 6233 too!
yahyah, it is not 'ascending', it is under 'ringtone',
kind of annoying as the sound will suddenly burst to very loud
i set the ringtone volumn at 4 level only.

Well I guess it's intentional then. My K800i always scares me when my phone rings, especially when it's quiet at home.

Mine doesnt ring the way u mentioned..the volume remains when ringing..no sudden burst of loudness..
so now its either mine got problem or both of ur phone got problem..

ermm is 6300 is more worthy and better than 6233? can't decide which one to buy this weekend...

nice phone.. wanted it.. too bad it doesnt hav 3g...

thanks for the pics.
btw, the headset comes with vol control?
can skip songs also from the 'remote'?
i asked the shop just now but they were very reluctant to show me the whole package.

*dissapointed

then its totally up to which design u like ...
been using 6300 for 2 days, its a good phone, fits just right in my palm unlike my Slvr L7. The crisp and bright screen, makes me wanna say "wow" whenever i use it.
Other than the phone warm up during long calls..everything else is all good.

skip songs - yes.
volume control - no.

its look like class phone?
like the type of 8800 series?
wanted to get a phone like 8800 or v3i....
dunno whether 6300 is a better choice?

Different class. 8800 is a high end phone.

6300 targets the business segment instead.

nice review..saw this phone yesterday in a shop in ipoh

This post has been edited by Eddx: Feb 8 2007, 10:46 PM

But it definitely feels like 8800's sibling though, the cold hard steely feel of it.

haha..i saw from nokia site....the display up to 16 million true color?
mean the color very sharp?
n73 only have 262k only rite?

yeah..N73 only 262k colors..

the screen color is so sharp that it hurts my eyes..

Very cool phone, I loved it the first time I saw it on the papers. Seeing the real thing at the Nokia shop made me love it even more. Have not felt this way since SonyEricsson's T610.

Unfortunately it's not S60, so it does not match my phone usage... oh well...

OK. This caught my attention.

Cold hard steel of the 8800? Then I gotto try it out myself at one of the phone shops.

its as cold but not as hard as 8800..

Still, I need to feel the actual phone myself.

Unless you're willing to let me touch it.

touch it? touch where
let's go "touch it" & feel it at nokia service centre

rayzrblade, can you take some pictures by the phone and post it out here. I am interesting in the picture quality of this phone.

how to master reset it ?

quick feedback here... i absolutely love the phone. From the feel of it to it's ease of use. To me it seems like a phone that's designed for an experience as opposed to a purely practical viewpoint (which it handles fantastically).

There is only one thing that has frustrated me so far. It ma y sound lame... but i have yet to work out how to openup the mini USB cover. Can anyone help me out here?

dont cut ur fingernails for few days and use it to open it. i just tried opening mine. its pretty easy.

How battery life? Does it get hot will answering calls?

pls read the review before u ask anything...thats what the review is for..

Picked one up last week to replace my 6230i. Battery life isn't that great, bear in mind its the same battery used originally in the 6100. Definitely need to charge it after each day as it won't make it through 2 days.

As mentioned by the thread starter, battery cover is metal and I have some reservations as to how long it may last. My last experience with a metal back cover was with the 8855 and after some time it would get loose as the metal sides wear out.

Speakerphone is a bit weaker than the 6230. On the 6230, the speakers are front and side whereas on the 6300 the speakers are front and rear. With the speakerphone activated, sound will come out from the rear so you have to flip the phone over in order to hear clearly.

Screen protectors are available for this phone. Picked one up for rm24(I think I overpaid) at Low Yat.

As mentioned by others already, the build quality and design plus a reasonable price(rm1050-1080)is what makes this phone attractive.

2mp without flash? and no autofocus i assume...

since this phone's price is the same as n70 music edition (with 1GB mc and nice headset), in what way would this phone beat the n70?

Added on February 13, 2007, 12:30 pmuser's opinion of course, i could also look up at gsm arena. =)

is this phone even symbian?

got some question from you guys, the phone is running on S40 Symbian rite?

then, is it possible to view a .txt file copied from pc?? need such features lar~~

thanks in advance.

IIANM you need to install applications to the phone to be able to view the file.

Get a DSLR for 10 megapixels with auto and manual focus.

this means the phone doesn't bundle with those produtivity tools?

its not. Its using Series 40 3rd edition.

ROFL!!!

I had this problem with 3230. It ascends and suddenly feels like its blaring. It was in normal setting. Hmm... anyone else been to shop to test it out can confirm for 6300 too?

AFAIK, it beats N70 ME only by age (it's newer!), design (which is subjective), and screen (size & resolution). N70 much more productive.

looks like a 3230 upgrade...

design wise and de feel on de palm is good... but if given a choice between n6233 and this n6300... which whud u all go for??

as i see... price-wise oso plus-minus... and i'm a sms-freaks... i sms more than calls... which wud suit me best??

The keypad on the 6300 is a bit tiny. I find that I need to use my nails sometimes to press the keys. I would guess the 6233 has a bigger and therefore better keypad for sms'ing

This post has been edited by -speedz-: Feb 17 2007, 04:12 AM

If sms is what you do most, then you should wait for the new 3110 Classic (coming soon) and see. It look to have quite comfortable keypad...

how does the 2 side blue leds work?

do tis phone got 3g or edge?is tis phone xpensive?look cool n classy 2 me.

no 3G but it does come wif EDGE...

Has anyone tried using BL5C with this fone for longer battery life?

yea, wondering if can use bl5c so i can use my old battery as spare battery

it blinks to notify you of missed calls or sms received.

cool feature!

brought yesterday. only complain is the pvc case dont fit.

bro the battery can last for how many days?
for normal usage

this baby kinda battery hunger....

ohh so can tahan for 3 days ar for normal usage like listen mp3, some calls and sms??

I find tat the LED blinked twice and stop. No more light. Is it the correct behavior? Will the LED blink again if I leave the phone as it is?

Btw, who has good method to remove the "scratches" on the stainless steel back cover falling short of polishing it?

yeah..i did tried putting in on the first day..and after that NO WAY..i gonna put it back in bcos its too damn hard to take it out.

i think u need to fit in somthing to expand it a little..

it will blinks periodically until u read the misscall/msg.

It blinks more frequently for missed calls. For sms, it blinks less often maybe once every 10 to 15 seconds. I didn't time it so I could be wrong.



I doubt it. With that usage it may only last 1.5 days

Can't you change the setting for visual notification?

alrite. understood.

i find it strange. no one complains about how easily (or badly) the casing can be scratched maybe it is a norm to most... this is the 1st time i used a phone with steel casing

bcos since day one i already use a screen protecter for the back of the phone + a pouch..

Wah .. talk abt double protection...

by next year, the 2nd price for ur phone and mine will be still the same.. talking about sour grapes hahhahaha

But easier to sell if fone not cacat.

not really about how to preserve it for future sales..
its how u take care of ur things...

This post has been edited by rayzrblade: Mar 13 2007, 12:38 AM

I don't think so. Couldn't find anything in the manual or menu. As for the rear cover getting scratched it doesn't bother me. My only concern if it becomes loose over time like my old 8855.

Just found out this phone inside Citibank easypay plan, RM 1,099, can pay with installment RM 122.11 x 9 months, some more free 1gb of sd card..

6300 is solid and good function.

juz lack of 3g and not symbian.

yea..wat a waste....6233 got 3g..

i juz bought it 2 days ago and i just started activating my GPRS and stuff but i still cant seem to work it.they asked me to subscribe to Packet Data first.does anyone know what's that?

WILL BE GETTING MY 6300 ON MONDAY yay =.= er mayb some1 could start a proper thread for this: anyone

isn't this thread a "proper" thread edy?

rayzrblade did a good job on this

Mine had the gprs settings pre-installed, what about yours? Maybe you should call your telco and have them send to you via sms the gprs settings. Or try a friends sim card that has gprs activated and see what happens.

I did have this problem once but it "cured" itself after one day. Called maxis to see if there was a problem with their gprs network but they said it was fine.

Really this thread very good , but this is a review of the phone rite?
