I have this mobile and its not that great if you send a text more than 2 pages long it doesn't send it all to the person you are sending the messages to.So you have to send messages in bits then other person receives all the messages you send but that is the main problem with this phone but other features are ok

I got one of these phones as an upgrade to my Nokia 6103,The total Phone is rubbish as the battery lasts Three days on 24 hrs and thats without use of the Camers/Radio/mp,so dont waste your time, in fact i charged both up and used both for a while.The 61300 was flat,but my 6103 was still fully charged,And they both have the same battery so how do you make that out,,

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! :)
