Tech & Memory
As expected, the phone supports Bluetooth 2.0 and GPRS/EDGE connectivity. You can also use the preinstalled Opera mini for browsing, and its works quite well too. One very useful feature of this phone is the HSCSD (High-Speed Circuit-Switched Data), which means it provides for about 50 percent improvement in throughput. So you can access the Internet via your GSM network at considerably higher data rates. You can also update the firmware wirelessly using FOTA -- firmware update over the air.


It has an internal memory of 7.8 Mb (should have been more in my opinion) and a 2GB microSD card extendable slot. You get 1000 photo entries, and if you run out of space you can sync your contacts and messages on the memory card.

Battery
The 6300 runs on the 760 mAh Li-Ion battery, which is quite good, considering it has all the battery-sapping features (flash, mainly) diced. I got about 3 hrs of music and about 2 hr on calls. I have to say I’m quite impressed with the battery life of the 6300. After using it for it for nearly 2 days doing all sorts of things imaginable, all with a single charge, I was still able to scramble through exactly 5 minutes of conversation (trust me, it was a life saver).


Conclusion
I like the sturdy yet elegant look. Sadly the phone has nothing new to offer, quite justifiable, for the middle-class section of the society. It has a decent camera, something that most users will appreciate. Also as I’ve mentioned before, it does have style. You will not be able to install and run too many third party applications, for which there are other phones in the market. If you are looking for a phone that looks good, your search should end here. Priced at Rs 12,500, I say it is a worthy buy.

Neha @ Jan 30,2008
Apart from battery life the phone is excellent.
I must tell nokia that please invent a new battery for nokia 6300 with a greater battery life and launch it by new name called "NOKIA 6300+".
Also launch it with some more colors.
hardik @ Nov 21,2007
Bought it recently for my mother for 8320 as a replacement for her N73 ME, which she found too complicated to use. An ideal phone for the not-so-technophiles, looks good, great screen, easy to use. I've heard bad things about the battery life, but considering that my mother's usage is very minimal, don't see any issues in lasting atleast 2 days on a full charge
Jagannath Moorthy @ Nov 11,2007
Today I bought Nokia 6300 mobile for Rs.8350/- in Subhiksha Mobile Store. I found that the Model is so slim and attractive especially the music/sound is an excellent but one thing that the Battery is not good.

NOKIA 6300 + CBZ X-Treme + Attractive look makes you to look cool and saxy.. hehehhhehhe... All the best to every body... Price 8699 From Mobile store and 1 sure shot Gift of Worth Rs. 5000.. :-)
Satish Kaul @ Aug 21,2007
How can u say battery life is nt good...? I have it and i know without using FM it works for 3 to 4 days....and with FM it works for 2 days..

And I think its Quite enough...Every mobile works like that of any company..Use it properly and then say dear...

baba @ Jul 30,2007
two days back I bought a new nokia 6300 model. It looks very good but battery backup was very very bad.it does not last atleast one day if u use it only for basic functionality with out using communication media.
First ever Nokia phone having such a bad battery backup.

My sincere advice is "Dont go for Nokia 6030 model".

"With out battery wt we can do with mobile"
gopal @ Jul 09,2007
i almost make up mind to by nokia 6300

You said "You will not be able to install and run too many third party applications, for which there are other phones in the market."

Why do you say so ? and what are the other phones that can run 3Party apps ?

vignesh @ May 01,2007
Beware of buying the grey market products be it mobile phones or memory cards or any other electronic products. Although the prices in grey market are attractive but the stuff they sell is duplicate. Yes you have read right, all the grey market electronic stuff is duplicate. The product is made in unauthorized smaller factories in China and exported to India without labels. Then our great Indian seller thugs get the phones labelled and boxes made and sell to innocent people like you and me. Since I have come to know of this racket, I will tell to everyone. Also this grey market stuff goes bad after sometime and we blame the company for a bad product which they never made in the first place. All these companies have ruined their business by transferring their manufacturing technology.
Rockman @ May 01,2007
Battery Backup not good enough ; Display is excellent
