It is sleek with stainless steel surfaces and an all-in-one kind of phone. Nokia may have a winner here having put together the features that people usually want in a single phone with style, no 3G though.

The first look is really captivating. It has quite a big screen with functional keypad and a 5-way navigation button that is common in many phones these days. The size is what I like the most. It is perfectly sized with slim (11.7mm) and not too wide. And it feels light to carry. The display is fine with a high resolution of 240x320 pixel display with amazing 16 million colours.

The camera is 2 MB with an 8x digital zoom with video recording function of course. It has a music player with FM radio. A headset is included as a standard package. Both bluetooth and USB connectivity is supporte. The memory is just 7.8 MB however it can be expanded to a maximum of 2 GB using a microSD card. The user interface is very user friendly with standard series 40 interface with more enhancements. GPRS and EDGE are supported for faster data connections. It is very easy to use and has a good battery life.

As its slogan, it is really beautiful with quality. An additional design plus is its metallic finish. Nokia has really done a good job with its Nokia 6300.
