Best mid-range phone from Nokia
Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the *perfect* mid-range phone from Nokia, aimed at people looking for a not-so-basic and not-too-high-end mobile, with a flawless, no-nonsense metal body, slim profile and more than enough features packed in.

A good mid-priced phone but includes undeletable junk
A good mid-priced phone, solid, well made, and very easy to use. And yes, the maximum ring volume is very low. Go for the black version, it's much the nicer looking of the two. The supplied selection of ringtones is prety naff. Mine was purchased unbranded direct from Nokia, but it still came with lots of pre-installed junk that it is impossible to delete. e.g. Internet...

Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting the *perfect* mid-range phone from Nokia, aimed at people looking for a not-so-basic and not-too-high-end mobile, with a flawless, no-nonsense metal body, slim profile and more than enough features packed in.
While this phone was originally intended as a direct upgrade for the highly sucessful 6300, it is also a great replacement for the older 6230i (one of Nokia's most successful phones ever).
This really is the perfect mid-range phone.
Pros:
1) 3.2MP autofocus camera + xenon flash has quite good picture quality.
2) Feels solid, with a metal casing and slim sizing fits comfortably in any pocket and looks quite professional.
3) Has built-in maps which allow you to search addresses and places.
4) Features the tried-and-tested S40 (non-symbian) OS, which is always known for its speed and realiability (no crashes) - although its a bit inflexible.
5) Radio features RDS for viewing music information.
6) Features a standard 3.5mm jack so you can use *any* earphones instead of being limited to properietary nokia ones.
7) Large 2.2" display is crystal clear, and very readable even in direct sunlight.
8) Confortable keypad with distinct keys is a pleasure to type on.
The Cons:
1) No GPS - despite the fact that it has maps installed on it. But at this price, who's complaining?
2) S40 interface is a bit inflexible - you can't multitask, edit office documents, minimize apps etc.
But again, isn't that asking for too much at this price?
All in all, if you're looking for a professional-looking phone with decent features, don't need advanced features like GPS or Wifi, you probably can't go wrong with this phone.

Have had this nokia for two weeks and must say that after the 5310 xpress music I have regained my trust in nokia phones. Have had nokias for 10 years but the 5310 was a let down on build quality!
The 6303 has a great feel, looks stylish, feels robust being mostly steel shell and buttons easy to press. I like the 3.5mm jack for headphones and the sound is great. Featues are the same as for any nokia. Transferring music to the phone was simple and updating the software was easy. Camera with dual led lights and autofocus took great pics in dim light. Have not tested the video yet.
Still cannot get used to the sound of the ringing tone which I find rather low........... but that's probably me! Rather on the heavy side (~100gms) though small enough to fit in a pocket. Hence gave it 4 stars.

I have had this phone for over a month now. Works well, light, easy to use and very good battery life. I still only need to recharge once a week and even then the battery has only gone down by 2/3rds.

I bought this phone just over a month ago and have had no problems whatsoever. My previous phone was an ancient Nokia 3310 and I found that the 6303 Classic is just as intuitive to use, albeit with a good many more features (as you would expect after seven-ish years of progress!). The 1GB memory card has plenty of room to store music and photos, and the 3.2MP camera is more than adequate for a phone. The ring tone is loud enough to hear from inside my bag. All in all, not a particularly trendy looking phone, but this is definitely a good choice if you want a solid built phone to primarily make calls and texts with a few fun extras!

Needed new phone asap as old N73 giving trouble. Always had Nokias. Problem with N73 was that it was not fully compatible with car kit so I could not access my phone book. No such worries with 6303 which was a pleasant surprise as it is a more modern phone and did not expect it to. Loved the silver/black cover and the buttons are first class as they are spaced apart allowing for easy texting. Big screen and the graphics etc are great. Slim line too and some great games come with it. Battery lasts for ever. One and only issue is that although it has 3.2 MP camera it is not as good as N73 because no Carl Zeiss lens but that is my only gripe!

Got this phone as a replacement for an old Samsung D900,
and I am very pleased with it. Very stylish and well balanced
phone, which fits quite neatly in a top shirt pocket without
feeling too heavy. I got the silver model and it is nicely
finished and of very good build quality.
Ring tone volume generally a bit on the low side, but
it also depends on the type of ring tone selected, as some of them
are loud enough. The camera is also quite good at 3mp and a decent flash too.
The 3.5mm jack socket is a real bonus as I can play MP3 music in the car
via the front panel jack on the car radio. My only criticism is that
you have to remove the back cover to access the micro sd card. I am guessing
that if you have to change the sd card often then after time the cover could get
a bit loose. Overall a great buy.

After suffering for about 18 months with an LG touchscreen phone, I finally decided to go back to Nokia, and bought an unlocked Nokia 6303 Classic. Oh the relief - now I have a really good phone again, slim and light, with a simple and clear menu structure. Now I can find all the functions I need instead of having to wade through a complex system with a poor touchscreen inteface. It all works properly! Maybe the camera is not quite as good as the LG but, hey, I've got a perfectly good Sony camera for my pictures and videos. And I am now free from restricting contracts. I've got a sim-only deal which saves me the cost of the phone over 7 months. The future is bright.....

Fantastic little phone! Have been searching for a while for a replacement for my last Nokia (7360) and this one 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. Easy to use, has good applications, slim and light to handle. Texting is a breeze!! Couldn't ask for more.
