first off, I will outline the subtle (but welcomed) differences between the black version and the original.

the black looks better - the keys are slightly less hard than the original silver 6300 - the rear plastic cover no longer looks cheap but has a nice matt feel

now, about the phone - it is a fantastic phone and one of the best nokia have made - there are some minor niggles - the speaker could be a touch louder, the music player could be more refined, the side volume key is a bit stiff

these are tiny issues which do not affect the overall brilliance of this phone

i'm a big nokia fan and i'm very picky when it comes to mobiles - the last mobile i really liked was a nokia 6230i and this was my upgrade

the screen is also fantastic, one of the best you will find on any mobile - the phone does the jobs well (texting and phoning)- the interface is quick and easy to use

it does the basics very well - with some nice touches (eg. radio) - the camera is good for 2 megapixel - the sound is great - the screen is amazing - the phone is slim and light - the battery is very good - you will find it hard to find anything negative to say about this phone

this is one of the best recent phones nokia have made - even some of the newer models can't match this phone - this is a phone which will still be great in years to come

if you can get the black version - even better - but the nokia 6300 is great and don't let other reviews convince you otherwise

if you do happen to disagree with me, you're wrong! :)
