Nokia 6300
The deluge of mobile phones from has appeared to be unstoppable. Mobile users might have gone to thinking: among the units that are being released by Nokia every year, which are the most recommended? Which unit stands out among the rest? Judging underneath the school of design, Nokia 6300 definitely stands out.
Mobile enthusiasts would agree that Nokia 6300 is one among the most tactile phones that they have ever used, amidst Nokia’s release of its batch of high-end handsets. Cased in an expensive black glossy plastic and stainless steel covers, 6300 has a dimension of 4.2 x 1.7 x 0.5 inches and weight of 3.2 ounces. The screen displays up to 16 million colors at a 320 x 240 pixel resolution (QVGA), bright and good for viewing texts, photos and videos.
One of 6300′s greatest ergonomic assets is the large keypads, making it very easy to use. The bottom of the unit is where the charging port is located, as well as the 2.5 mm headset jack and mini-USB port, used for connecting the phone to the PC. Whenever the phone receives a new message, the blue LED in the sides will also light.
There’s nothing really new with Nokia 6300 on the features section, although cramping all the necessary functions in a more compact and aesthetically-promising gadget is a surprise in itself, aside from the fact that it’s very simple to use and easy to understand. Uses can view the menu either as icons, tabs or list and choose the applications they need to operate. Among 6300′s multimedia offerings are the 2.0 Mega-pixel camera, music player, video player, FM radio and voice recorder. The camera, which is located on the back side of the phone, can takes pictures and videos. Settings include timer and night mode, but there no built-in flash and auto focus.
Connectivity options with 6300 include Bluetooth and GPRS/EDGE. The GPRS/EDGE works well with the pre-installed Opera Web Browser. There is also a Bluetooth presenter for controlling PowerPoint presentations and sensor application for sharing pictures and information using Bluetooth. Java applications can be installed in 6300 using the Nokia PC Suite.
The 6300′s media player supports the following formats:MP3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, H.263 and H.264. a 2GB microSD card can be installed for saving music and video files. An FM radio is also available. It also includes an email client that supports Gmail and Yahoo mail services. Other features include voice recorder, alarm clock, calendar, to-do list, notes, calculator, countdown timer, stopwatch and Java games. Phone critics definitely gave Nokia 6300 a deserving passing score in the ergonomics area, however it has a number of downplays, including the low-resolution camera, slow GPRS and lack of 3G.
