Nokia 6300
 

Has anyone on here got one ?

I want to take it apart to clean the dust from behind the screen but can't work out how to do it - can anyone shed any light ?

Thanks :)

Not a clue how to do that mate, but yet I got one and love it :)

Might be an unscrew jobbie.

Been a problem with every Nokia I've had (about 5) - I'm getting something else next time. My 6280 has just died but was a week out of warranty and (unknowingly) not insured.
Having to use a four year old one for six months!

Most phones are prone to letting in dust. The more that people want to have custom covers etc, the worse the seal on the phones will be.

Dont think its a Nokia issue tbh.

Does get annoying though lol

no idea love my 6300 its a phone that phones people without too much of the other crap on it. Hope its insured if you're going to have much of a go though

If dust is a real proble, try the Nokia 5500 sport. I've had mine 6 months and it still dust free.

Waterproof too. Well splash proof at least.

I quite like the look of these. A lot slimmer than my current 6280 but the screen is similar size and menu system the same.

All the gadgets ala N95 are cool but realistically I never using anything other than calling, text, wap and camera. One thing the 6300 looks like it hasnt got is 3G - can u owners confirm that as I must admit I noticed a big difference when browsing sites over 3G compared to GPRS?

Tbh Ive never had another brand of phone (SE, Motorola etc) that let dust in. Old nokias are ok but in recent years they all seem to do it. Ok if screen comes off easy but a lot dont. They should really sort that out as other than that prob their phones are spot on

My 6280 has just died on me so using an old 6230 until I'm "allowed" to upgrade.

Now I was pretty annoyed with Orange and Nokia - lost a load of numbers and info BUT the old phone is actually much better AS A PHONE!

Much longer battery life, smaller, easier to text and call people, much better reception.
Yes there's no colour screen, 3G (does have GPRS though) or ponsy ringtones but it's actually a much much better phone.

Who needs progress?!

No dust problems with mine, as I bought it 3 weeks ago; as stated it's a very good phone without all the cr@p. It isn't 3G, but I wanted a good operating system and something that looked smart - all for £100.

However, I had big problems transfering all my contacts - as each number separated from the contact e.g John, John1, John2 and the user groups need redefining - difficult with 500+ numbers.

Oh yes - wife has the 6300 and it's a very good, robust "proper" phone for those whi actually make phonecalls and take the odd pic (camera good too).

I assume you transferred old phone -> sim -> new phone? It will do that due to the limitations of sim. If you backup to nokia data suite (should be free with phone on cd) then transfer to new phone it should be fine.

P1Fanatic, good point - but my work laptop is 'locked-down' and new programs cannot be installed.

- Note to self - need to buy own laptop this weekend.
