Brand New Nokia 6303 Classic Silver 1GB L@@K

The Nokia 6303 Classic is the upgrade for the NOKIA 6300, which has been a bestseller for the past couple of years and one of our favourite Nokias of all-time.

Our favourite Nokia just got upgraded! The 6303 Classic is a modern reworking of the classic Nokia 6300. It's a no-nonsense easy-to-use handset with an attractive stainless steel finish and great features - a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, MP3 player, FM radio, 3.5mm audio jack, Nokia Maps, plenty of memory, Bluetooth, USB and good battery life.

The 6303 Classic updates the technology and the styling of the 6300, fixing the 6300's problems of poor battery life and small memory.

Slightly larger than the 6300, but with rounded edges, the 6303 retains the smart stainless steel finish of its predecessor, but has a softer, more rounded style. The 6303 is a few grams heavier than the 6300 and feels good in the palm, but is by no means a heavy phone. One noticeable design improvement is the larger screen. At 2.2 inches across, and with 16.7 million colours, this is a comfortable display for this type of phone, and is bright and with a good number of pixels (320 x 240). The large screen, well-designed keypad and familiar Nokia menus make the phone very easy to use.

The camera has been significantly upgraded and has a 3.2 megapixel detector, with autofocus and a dual LED flash. Whilst not a replacement for a dedicated digicam, this is a respectable camera that is capable of taking print quality pictures under most lighting conditions. The video recording capability is good too, with a high maximum resolution of 640 x 480 pixels, although only at 15 frames per second. There is no video calling, as this is not a 3G handset.

The music player can handle all standard formats, and there is also a stereo FM radio with RDS, so that you can see which channel you are tuned to, and also the details of the music playing. And we're delighted to see the addition of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which means that you can plug in any standard-fit headphone of your choice.

An essential for a music player is a decent amount of memory, and the 6303 com

es with 64MB of internal flash memory, plus the option of adding a microSD memory card up to 4GB (1GB CARD INCLUDED).

Connectivity is good too. As well as the 3.5mm audio jack previously mentioned, the 6303 has USB and Bluetooth 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate.
