nokia 6300

Today i shall talk about mobile phones. It took me a long while to wean off my palm treo 600 even when the telephony was barely audible. Still I could not bring myself to get a mobile. I hung on to my treo and used to send text messages instead. That went on for a couple of years, until my brother gave me a nokia 6300 and said it's a pretty good phone. I have used the earlier generations of nokia phones before and some other brands too so I am familiar with nokia. But I found the 6300 model special. Firstly I love the slim shape and i just love to hold the phone. So i don't use any phone covers. I think the most important feature is the screen. The colours are just so vibrant. I love to play games like diner dash on the pc. I found i could download diner dash on 6300 and play diner dash with just one hand. I had hours of fun just playing diner dash on 6300. I guess Nokia has always been strong on telephony so there is no question with the telephony quality. The bluetooth feature works fast for transferring music. Even the 2mb camera is excellent and has given me good shots of plants which I can use as screen savers. Another thing, the calendar is brilliant. Like most handphones, you can add calendar reminders of appointments. It has this added lovely feature where i can book a movie and send the movie details as a date to my husband straight to his calendar item together with a reminder alarm. When I sent my first movie date, my husband was impressed. He also uses the same nokia phone model. The calendar feature has also come in handy when we travel as a family to calendarise everyone on the flight details. Even my sister who usually meets us when we fly to kuching gets the details on her phone calendar. She also uses the same nokia model. It may seem like no big deal but when there is a family reunion and everyone is flying at different times, it is quite useful to have the flight details as a calendar item for the greeter. And now my teenage daughter plans to get the same nokia 6300 for herself too.

Somehow with the 6300 i was able to finally give up my palm treo. With the treo I enjoyed accessing the web. And i found nokia 6300 though so slim, could do pretty well on the web. I can check my emails and do short replies. And if you download opera mini, you get the view the full webpage. Like I said earlier, the screen is probably the most important feature to me. And this is the main reason. Even though the screen is not that big compared to other phone models but somehow the screen is so sharp and the colours are so bright it is a pleasure to view. I am happy accessing the web on 6300. I even do messenger on 6300. And it's nice to be able to view websites like bbc gardening and view pictures of plants. It's also comforting to know if I really wish to I can view pictures on yahoo photos or facebook. I am still amazed that for an average price range phone, nokia 6300 is truly not just value for money but a joy to hold and have with me.

so what would i want in a newer model of 6300? nothing really. i was thinking may be a bigger memory but i can add a 2gb memory as it is.
