Nokia 6303 Classic Review – A Stylish Affordable Phone

Nokia 6303 classic is a cool mobile phone with superior performance and very many features at an affordable price range. Available in black and silver, the 6303 classic is perfectly suited for fashion fiestas who want all types of mobile phone facilities at a price they can pay. You can listen to music and take pictures while you are mobile. However, if you are a power user and need nothing less than an 8 Megapixel camera, then Nokia 6303 classic is not for you. But, you can’t get such a phone in the price range of 6303. Nokia 6303 classic looks so stylish with complete set of modern features with the right dimensions of 108.8x46.2x11.7mm and weight of 96g. This phone comes in steel or matt black.

The large 2.2-inch TFT display can show 16 million colors with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. Excellent sunlight legibility makes it easier to view phone features even during sunny days. Below the display, you will find a D-pad with navigation keys. Surrounding the navigation pad, there are soft keys including call and end buttons. All the keys are nicely placed that occasional wrong presses are rare. If you want to message in the dark, Nokia 6303 classic will help you with its display backlighting and blue keypad illumination. S40 6th edition user interface provides easy one place access to all menus. You can bring up the clock showing time and date even when the keypad is locked, using end key. This is normally found only in expensive phones.

The 3 Megapixel camera deserves a special mention in the Nokia 6303 classic as the camera takes high quality images. The LED flash makes it possible to use the camera mobile phone even when it is dark outside. The auto focus enables anyone to take good photos using the Nokia 6303 classic. Moreover, the video recording facility allows you to take streaming videos so that you don’t even have to miss any moment of fun. There is also a built-in picture editor that allows you to customize the pictures in the way you wish. However, you can find only basic picture editing options in the Nokia 6303 classic.

When it comes to entertainment, the Nokia 6303 classic never compromises quality with its excellent inbuilt media player. The D pad can be used to control music player. A variety of music files is supported by the Nokia 6303 classic. Even though it is not an audio phone, it has impressive audio performance. There is also FM radio feature in Nokia 6303. Aside from stored music files, you can now listen to your favorite radio channel and enjoy music.

Basic SMS facility is present along with modern MMS feature. Moreover, data can be transferred to other compatible devices such as PC, laptop, printer and other mobile phones using USB cable connectivity. You can also use Bluetooth wireless connection service to connect to multiple devices. You can store as much as 4GB of data in your Nokia 6303 classic as the microSD slot has expandable memory. Nokia 6303 classic is shipped along with 1GB memory card. You can easily store 2000 phone book entries. It comes with a Li-Ion standard battery and has stand by time of 450 hours and talk time of 7 hours. Plenty of applications are uploaded and you can find a multitude of games with your phone. The Organizer of Nokia 6303 is great just like any other high end Nokia mobile phone.

Ovi maps enable easy navigation while you are on the roads. The web kit based HTML browser is a cutting edge technology used in Nokia 6303. The native browser is accurate despite some bugs that can be ignored without performance suffering. Preloaded applications work very well even though smooth browsing as in the case of iPhone can't be expected in Nokia 6303 classic. Flash support is also missing. However, this does not disallow you from downloading games, music and much more from the internet using the Nokia 6303 classic. The 6303 classic set is only for GSM mobile phones and support for 3G network is lacking.
