Hey guys few days ago i decided to go buy a 2nd phone which is unusual for me. Anyway i got the Nokia 6303 Classic. Its a great little decent phone. Its a definate improvement on the 6300 which had poor battery life. Now Nokia claim this phone has a powerful battery performance. Well i can say they are right. For once i can use a Nokia which has the stamina to keep going. I charged it up 4 days ago and with moderate use its only just dying now. Impressed. And whats impressed me more with such a budget phone is the 3.2 auto focus camera with powerful led flash and vga recording is very good. The camera takes great pics and its fairly speedy. Before you take the pics the view finder is grainy but once taken even with the flash in the dark pics come out very well. Very surprised. The phone is very stable too for a new release. Very good for my 2nd phone great build and call quality too. Only thing thats boring is the menus not as great as Sony Ericsson. Nokia claim 17 days standby but its a little bold but at least now i believe they are getting better with their battery life and 4 days is good going.

Congratulation @Bonovox.
I bought Motorola RAZR2 V9 as my secondary phone few days ago but I’m not happy with it. Thinking to get an N86 as primary phone and will use the present primary phone as secondary. |

Wow wish i had one of them. Only strange thing is Nokia says only support upto 4 giga byte cards on the 6303 but my 8 giga byte works in it. Why is that and would it damage the phone? Maybe firmware updates lets it work with higher cards. |

It’s ok. In my 5130xm, Nokia says only support up to 2GB. But mine works fine with 8GB. No problem has facing yet. Others user also confirm that. So it is safe in new phones from Nokia nowadays.
I think it is an advertising policy. Higher-end phone got bigger specification and lower end phone got lower specification in advertised but truly they all use same hardware for read/write memory card (IMO). May be they should limit the capacity through firmware. But we glad that Nokia didn’t. |

I got a Nokia 6303 Black from CPW yesterday, and I'm impressed by it too, not had chance to test its battery stamina yet as I've only just given it its first full charge. Noticed Nokia have done away with the LED notification flashers on the side as in the 6300 and incorporated it into the D pad. |

My little 3120 Classic will read my 8GB card too...but you might notice when you go to check it, it only reads up to 4GB of it, so check your memory status first.
My opinions on this forum are that of my own and not of the company I work for. |

Ah i see thats a point. I just gone over 4 giga byte and its working ok. I notice with the Nokia 6303 camera the view finder indoors becomes grainy but once picture is taken its clear after its processed. Pics are pretty decent and video recording too and flash works very well for face shots.

Well so far the new Series 40 version 6 from Nokia is great and proving very fast and stable. No crashes or restarts. Signal and battery are superb as is call clarity. I am noticing that whilst listening to music with tons of music on my card and browsing the net at the same time the phone does not slow down one bit. Not like my c510 or w595 did. I love the 3.5mm headphone jack cos i got some Sennheiser headphones and its much better. Well done to Nokia for such quailty in a cheap phone with the only thing missing 3G. The LED flash actually fills the room with good light not bad for an LED.

@Bonovox:
Could you post some pictures of your this phone? Which one have you gotten? White or Black? How is the metal body? Is it felt like C902? And is the default browser opera mini?
I’m asking these question because I’ve plan to get as secondary phone also. I’m bored with the 5130 because it’s fully scratched magnetic. |

I cant post pictures for some reason using my mobile broadband modem on my pc pics wont upload properly not sure why. Anyway i have the black version which looks smarter. The build quality is great no creaks at all. Opera Mini 4 is built in the phone already yes. As i previously said battery life is great compared to old Nokia phones. With average use it lasts ages like good few days though if you browse the net alot it will run down faster but still not by much with this battery. Camera quality is much improved from the 6300. 3.2 mega pixels with auto focus and led flash. The flash is surprisingly bright and lights up quite a distance. Though dont be fooled by the grainy viewfinder when in low light cos once the pics are taken and processed they come out fine. You can use it landscape or portrait which is handy. VGA video 15fps is pretty good for a budget model. Screen is good has a light sensor and is bigger from the old 6300 and has great sunlight viewing. Signal quality is really strong and so is call quality. The latest series 40 6th Edition interface is so much more stable and fast. From early on as its a new model i am happy to report no crashes no restarts no freezing yet which is great. Texting on the keys is very comfortable with ample spacing. Nokia maps is also included as are quite a few other applications though i dont use them. Nokia report that the phone supports upto 4 giga byte cards but mine works fine with 8 giga byte so far. Whilst listening to music and browsing the net aswell as other things the phone never slows down at all. Music player has good sound but with your own headphones as the Nokia ones are dreadful. Its really nice having 3.5mm jack on a budget phone. I will say buy it as its a reliable good quality everyday phone but with decent features too. Good luck.

My Samsung Pixon is my main phone so i am not bothered that the Nokia has no 3G. I am not sure of any Symbian SE phones around right now. If you want Symbian perhaps get the new N86 8 mega pixel phone from Nokia which has HSDPA. Nokia's menus have recently changed but Sony Ericsson's has not changed for sometime though i do love their menus. I am currently waiting for something great to come from Sony Ericsson as most of their recent phones are boring except the w995 but i cant afford that. Yet.

Browsing on Nokia is no faster or slower than any Sony Ericsson phone just depends if you have 3G or not. This one with edge on Orange is not bad. Its only Symbian menus that are slower on Nokia but the standard menus for me on series 40 Nokia phones are faster than non Sony Ericsson smart phones imo. Sony Ericsson Java phones always seem to slow down when multi tasking.
