Score 8.0/10+ Smart and stylish phone which is also very easy to use.

Score 9.0/10+ Easy to use, superb software that doesnt need rebooting every 5 minutes and great build quality. The phone just works well as a phone!

Score 5.0/10+ Good candybar design
- Was looking for something to replace my very old but reliable Sony k750i even though that is an old phone this was no match for it. Navigation leaves a lot to be desired and has a cheap feel. I get less signal in the same areas with this and when you live in an area with low signal it's a nightmare. My next phone will be a Sony or iPhone

Score 9.0/10+ It's small, well made and robust. It looks nice and is very easy to use.
- It only has one alarm, so if you want to use it to remind you of anything ongoing (e.g. to check something regularly or to take medication at certain times) you'll need to re-set the alarm every time.

Score 9.0/10+ It is very compact and fits into a handbag easily, easy to navigate and has an excellent camera. I and most of my workmates have this phone and really enjoy using it.
- This is the second Nokia 6300 I have had, unfortunately the on/off button on my first phone became stuck which meant I could not turn it off which could be awkward in places such as a cinema etc. Also I took it on holiday with me to Cyprus this year and the extreme heat/humidity did affect it and it died on me after the holiday! However I enjoy using this phone so much I decided to invest in the same model.

TechRadar expert review
It seems increasing numbers of mobile users want to get keep it simple. They want a smart looking phone that does the business, but doesn't necessarily have to do absolutely everything. We don't mean basic or old-fashioned - we mean a phone that has the right features to match its user. The Nokia 6300 aims to be just such phone.
