Many Features, Small Size, Nice Feel, Needs More Juice!Review created: 08/20/08(updated 03/18/09)

I picked up the 6301 because I was intrigued by the UMA feature. I figured it was a chance to save a few minutes on the family plan.
In It's Favor:
°It's slim.
°It's light.
°It has a genuine AV port, not some hokey Pop-Port for the headphone/microphone. Thank you Nokia!
°It takes the ubiquitous and inexpensive BL-4C battery.
°The Nokia 6301 can support a maximum of 4GB microSDHC memory card.
°I easily was able to "drag and drop" from my Nokia 6290 music collection to this phone.
°UMA is simple to setup. It hooked up to Skyriver in under 15 seconds.
°Synching with the T-Mobile on-line phone book took all of 35 seconds when it came time to transfer to the new phone.
°Voice dialing takes about two minutes of training by repeating a series of key phrases so the phone can get a clue to your accent. It is very accurate after the training in distinguishing between "Home" and "Joan" in 95% of attempts while dialing in my car, not the world's quietest environment.
°A metal battery cover that is not flimsy gives a very solid feel to this handset.
°It takes good photos outside.
°The charging stand is a nice touch. It looks cool and reduces the amount of time I spend looking for my mobile in the morning.
°The new AC-4U charger is more energy efficient using about a tenth of the energy the old style AC-3U charger used when sitting idly in the receptacle waiting for a phone to charge.
°Ringtones are loud, clear and can use just about any sound file supported by the phone for a ringtone.
°The keys have a wondrous texture to them. They feel great under the fingers. They are unlike any other manufacturer's phone keys. They are not slick or sticky or plasticky. They have a texture to them that allows you to feel the key and grip it with your finger pad. Go to a T-Mobile store and check it out, you'll see.
°Personal Informaton Management is intuitive and fairly complete. PC synch of the PIM is not straight-forward until you use Nokia's PC Suite.
It's good but not perfect.
¤The screen washes out in outdoor light, even on overcast days.
¤It could use a flash for the camera.
¤The UMA sometimes hands off to the tower base station between picking up the phone and hitting the send button.
¤It sometimes forgets it is connected to the router.
¤The headset that ships with the phone is a wired stereo headset. Please ship it with a mono wired headset as well.
¤The design offers no protection for the lens over the LCD.
¤Bluetooth + UMA = Needs more power than the BL-4C provides, another 1mm, or less in thickness would have allowed the BL-5C to sit in the battery compartment and add 25% more oomph, and it really needs that.
¤Firmware 8.22, recently released seems to have addressed most of the issues I previously raised in this section. Use Nokia Software Updater Software (NSU) to install it. Very automated process, easy to do.
Overall this is an excellent phone. The positives far outweigh the negatives. The User Interface is quick. The phone memory is large and expandable, signal reception is excellent and sound quality is Nokia - none better
Beware of the Look-a-like 6300 which is easily mistaken for the 6301.
RM-323 = 6301b (North America)(850 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz + WiFi) T- Mobile/Fido
RM-322 = 6301 (Europe/APAC) (900 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz + WiFi)
RM-217 = 6300 (Europe/APAC) (900 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz)
RM-222 = 6300b (North America)(850 MHZ 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz)

Rugged little nokia. Solid features, Simple usage.Review created: 01/22/09

I bought this phone specifically to downgrade to a more simplistic handset for my everyday usage. By trade I use Blackberries, and other PDA smart phones. With that said I chose this handset because of its robust media features such as A2DP and AVRC bluetooth profiles as well as a build in FM radio and 2mp Digital Camera. I also like the large screen boasting 16.7 million colors on its high resolution screen.
Overall this phone should not surprise any buyer with its feature or design, but rather be a simple straight forward handset to make and receive calls while listening to music and media.

A nice upgrade for this loyal Nokia user.Review created: 12/26/08

A very intuitive phone with a decent camera. WiFi was a nice surprise as it worked without any to-do's right out of the box. (We have wifi for our computer through our cable company) The reception is better than our old nokia's. Battery life has been untested yet as my husband keeps our phones charged.

Great phone.. Very slim.
I bought this to eliminate my land line and use as regular home line, since T-mobile offeres unlimited Wi-Fi calling, which is great. The quality is of voice clarity is great, but as Wi-Fi signal is sometimes unstable, phone has tendency of disconnecting while in coversation once a while. The menu options are simple but not best of all. I tried to bring some picture as wallpaper, but still was not able to find out how. I consider myself a computer and gaget gru, but some minor Menu options on the phone doesn't seems to be friendly or widely exposed for easy access.

Phone is awesome! The quality is great, and you can do a lot of fun stuff with it like make calls over Wi-Fi. I am very satisfied with my new Nokia 6301!
PS: If possible, I would try to buy the Canadian non-tmobile version if you plan to use it with ATT service, because of the special way the USDM phone is programmed for the T-MOBILE provider. (Some stuff like the welcome and good bye screens are Tmobile instead of the classic Nokia, which is my only dissapointment, because I havent figured out how to get that changed...)

I like the contact list settings on the Nokia and I like the PC Suite software. The predictive text option is very good except that if you are typing a word is doesn't recognize, unlike the Blackberry, you can't select the word you want. Also, I haven't found a way to type numbers into a text message when using predictive text.

This phone has some nice features, the wi-fi works great, I use it with my wireless router at home with good success, battery life is fine - don't know what all the complaining is about. the screen is a little small, but so is the phone, I like the size. Perfect for someone who wants a small, easy to use cell phone with some additional capability that doesn't need it to function like a Swiss army knife...

Very nice phone but very slow delivery.1 of 6 people found this review helpful.
The payment was sent within 24 hours as requested but the phone was not received until two weeks after payment confirmation. I paid 10.99 for shipping but the shipping labeled showed 6.91. Conflicting shipping price.

nokia 6301Bought this phone because it has a radio and the price was fair. the battery life is great the only thing i don't like about the phone is that it takes to long to get to the main screen for example setting your alarm. besides that the phone is a good phone to own.

Great deal smooth transaction. This phone is great if you have WIFI and don't typically get great service. It has FM radio and doubles as an MP3 player. For the mony you can't get a better phone.

The phone is very small w/ small keys. The features of the phone are ok, but after updating the software I could no longer use the Wi-Fi. In order to save more than 1 number to a contact, the contact has to be stored on the phone not the card.
I have bought Nokia before and this is not their best work.
Disappointed

Nice Phone, but ...0 of 2 people found this review helpful.
The battery needs to be charged nearly every day, and I only make 1 or 2 calls a day. The time display is too small, I need to turn the phone on and view the world clock to be able to easily see the time. The phone also did not keep some of the contacts that were on my SIM card.

This is a great phone with WIFI but they are so hard to find , I think T mobile has already discontinued selling them as it probably cost them more then they sell them for .
