Nokia 6300 review by Steve at iTAGG
Steve‘s just got hold of a brand new Nokia 6300 and kindly wrote this overview of it…
Review of the Nokia 6300: Well I say “review” but frankly there isn’t much to say if you don’t look at any features apart from the address book, call button and text screen…for these features it simply does what it says on the tin and that’s that…
After having been up their with the big boys and girls in owning what is essentially a hand held computer [treo 750] that makes most people go “wow, that mobile is very impressive”, I have retreated. I now own a Nokia 6300 and my treo750 is destined for the rubbish tip. The 6300 looks very sleek and sexy, it is streamlined, thin and just really looks quite slinky. It has a traditional nokia keypad on it that has a good feel and the screen is a decent size within what is just the nicest piece of slim-look candybar I’ve had in my pocket for ages.
It has been a long time since I took a mobile out of my pocket and thought “oh yeah, you look nice”. It is a strange move, because the 6300 doesn’t appear on the standard radar of “ooh yeah baby, I’ve got to own that one” phones. But I just feel so relaxed to be back on Nokia’s menus and address book, etc; a system that doesn’t lose an address book entry every single time I sync with my laptop [see my previous posts about the seriously bug ridden WM5]!!! And I don’t miss a full qwerty keyboard at all.
Apparently it has a camera but frankly I have no intention because I am a camera lense snob and simply don’t believe any mobile manufacturer has got their optics right yet. I intend loading no software on it and will just be using it for calls, address book and texting. All these billions of extra features available today are in my mind adding no value to my life whatsoever.
So call me what you will but at the moment I’m definitely in a mood of “mobiles are for phone calls only and must be slim enough to sit in my pocket without creating a huge Blackberry-Bulge”; and the Nokia 6300 is the perfect answer for that.
