    Stopped using Nokia for almost ten years due to its boring nature. But now that I'm using this model, have rediscovered that it's quite user-friendly, however, still quite boring.

    If people are worried about getting scratches on the phone, may I recommend to buy a silicone skin case? It doesn't cost that much from eBay (AUD10 at the most), and once the case is on, it looks even better!

    Have expanded the memory to 2GB, so the music player is great. However, if the phone memory is full, it sometimes might not received incoming MMS, which is really dumb.

    The camera is a bit of a let down compared to other mobile phones.

    • Good: Slim, user-friendly interface, expandable memory, screen resolution is brillant.
    • Bad: The Nokia proprietary headset, why can't they have the normal headset socket?

      Improve the camera and add a flash!

    Had Nokia 6300 for a whistle now, pretty sub-standard USB cable-which is good, but very grany camer for 2 megs.

    • Good: Very slimline, comfortable fit in hand, and music play ok.
    • Bad: Grainy camera, uses alot of battery when on media player. keypad little small {Yet controlable...just}

    I've had this phone for about eight months now and I think it's a great phone. I've never had a problem with it at all and I've dropped it so many times.

    • Good: Everything, all round great phone.
    • Bad: Doesn't have the best camera, but I'm not looking for a phone with a good camera.

    The phone is definetly stylish and looks great specially becoz of its slim design. The company has not done justice to its slogan regarding the phone "Slim yet Powerful" since the battery which gives power to the phone is virtually powerless. The company must develop a good battery to compliment this good phone.

    • Good: -Slim design
      -Great price
      -Good reception
      -Good Screen display
      -Simple Executive looks
    • Bad: -Poor Battery life (Specially if u r using the multimedia functions)
      -Speakerphone could have been louder
      -Phone requires delicate handling (will not be appericiated by youngsters)
      -No Flash
      -Camera quality is average

    • Good: Doesn't have the stupid new nokia interface that they seem to be introducing.
    • Bad: Music player not awesome
