+ Fantastic design. Simple to use and navigate. This helps to make quick texts and phone calls efficiently. The phone simply looks good, better than any other model on the market. This means that not only do you look great butyou can save time and energy with this nokia.

- Battery seems to run out quickly.

Score 8.0/10

+ It's solid - a nice "handful". It has a nice, big, clear screen. It is relatively intuitive in operation. I haven't read the hand book and am getting all basic functionality, but may be missing some features. That will become apparent, if/when I do the rsearch, properly.

- Nothing significant, although I find the battery life a bit less than I expected (Did I expect too much?. I was also a bit disappointed to find the charger design has changed from my previous Nokia models. I acknowledge the new one is lighter, but now I don't have any spares.

Nick, London

Score 10.0/10

+ I had had my fill of 3G phones - a million features & applications and each and every one of them slowly zapping away the battery life!! My last one, within half a day, despite a full overnight charge, was running out of steam. The Nokia 6300 is brilliant. It looks good. It's small (but the buttons aren't - a personal bug bear of mine) and most importantly I can text, call, take photos/videos & check my calender & messages for a good 1.5 days before I start to lose battery and get 3 days if it's just on standby. I don't use the internet on my phone, and have to say I'm not missing the 3G applications at all. I bought the 2GB memory card for the 6300 (tiny!) and have got lots of music, photos and video on it without any problems at all.

- The camera isn't the best - but fine for quick happy snapping. If you store too much video, then new videos don't record properly and playback is jittery. The only really annoying thing is that the SKY MOBILE application for setting your SKY+ box won't run on this phone!

+ small with good battery life , it`s very light and easy to use and i like the option to put yourself notes on the screen. It has a good signal and it`s quick to perform fuctions.

- It`s not 3G, software isn`t good enough and i couldn`t sync it with my old phone (nokia N80) to tranfer data. It`s a little basic in what it can do in all areas and it`s too quiet tone-wise.

+ I like all the extra features it has over my old phone.

- Definitely the poor battery life. I'm not a big user and is mainly left on standby. On average I have to re-charge it every other day.

+ It looks good and feels good. It is small and slim but with a big screen. The navigation is intuitive as usual with Nokia.

- Texting is not that easy as the buttons are small and I often hit the wrong letter by mistake.

+ All the features are excellent and very easy to understand. This is my 4th Nokia mobile and I would never consider aanother manufacturer. I only replace them when they get damaged - or in one instance, fell in the canal!

- The battery life is abysmal in that I need to charge it every night.
