This is a brilliant phone & I would recomment it to anyone. It is easy to use, easy to handle, looks good & does everything I want from a phone. Had it a week now to replace a Sony Ericsson which had a fussy camera. Folks had time to go & make a cup of tea before the camera focused & took the picture, whereas the Nokia takes the photo before they know it has pointed at them.

It has a clear display, features that are useful & easy to master & best of all it has no touch screen. Just sent off for a gel case to protect it from knocks.

In all, a brilliant phone & if you are in the market, what are you waiting for?

Thanks Nokia.

This is one of the best phones I have ever owned. I am not fussed with Smartphone's, just like a phone with lots of simple features using a simple package, & that's what the 6303i offers. Good music player, good Internet connectivity especially via the opera mini web browser, can easily handle an 8GB micro sd card full of music & the battery life is pretty decent.

Also, it's quite a strong phone, as I have dropped it several times, including kicking the phone across the carriage of a train (after dropping it) & still working fine.

The only snag I do have about this phone is the sound quality of music played through headphones, no matter what headphones you use, the quality is not there compared to a Sony Walkman or iPod, but would strongly recommend this phone to anyone looking for a good, all round mobile.

Had this phone for a fortnight now, & am very happy with it. Have always been a lover of Sony Ericsson, but the software in their recent phones has not been very good. I am not particularly keen on touch screens, give me buttons any day! Decided to give this phone a go, as it was on offer at a reduced price.

An excellent buy.

I am a great fan of the classic 6310i, it was exactly what I wanted in a phone. Easy to use, intuitive menus & great battery life. Only problem is its large size.

Since then I have had a number of different phones with touch screens & lots of features that I don't need & which just interfere with ease of use & battery life.

I've only had this 6303i Classic for two days but it already feels very familiar, I know how to use all its features & it seems to be a great modern version of the 6310i.

I am pleased I got it.

At last, Nokia have come up with a non gimmicky sensible business phone with good battery life & reliable Bluetooth connection not seen since the venerable old 6310i.Hard to beat. Thanks Nokia, about time!

Just got my hands on one of these phones. It is a cross between the Nokia 7230 & the 6303. It doesn't have a draft folder, or individual folders, just an Archive folder. Battery is excellent, the display is fantastic. Best phone Nokia has ever done. You can zoom in on pictures & save them, which you can't do on the 6303, although you can do on the 7230. Well done Nokia.

Another great feature on phone is Facewarp when you can alter picture in all sorts of ways I had that previously on Sony W810i but was thrilled to see it on 6303i. Camera has fixed focus rather than autofocus but comparing 6303i to 6303 on camera performance the 6303i comes out top. Battery life's superb. A top phone.

Got a 6303i from carphone warehouse love the new small presentation box it comes in &new large internal memory which is now much larger than the 6303 had before, battery lasts longer too, & the series 40 user interface has been update & is now easier to use. Highly recommended to all. Better than 6303 by a lot.

Another feature on 6303i which is not on 6303 is in the camera settings effects which allows you to take pictures in solarise & false colours which can be fun. Mine came with a 2GB memory as well which is handy. A great little handset.
