Solid phone for calling but features are sub-par:
I've had other Nokias, Samsungs, and Sonys before, and this is a pretty good phone in comparison. Calls sound clear, keypad is easy to the touch (nice if you're a blind texter), and I'm really liking the large screen. I haven't used all of the features yet. However, there is one major feature that this phone doesn't have - ONE TOUCH CAMERA. I have to dig around in the menus to open the camera, which is not acceptable if you need to snap something quickly. I rely on my phone camera a lot, and this is a... more info
not good for wi fi service:
I got this phone for the wifi service and found it not not work the way I need it too. We have very poor service in our area and need the wifi. But the problem with this phone is that if it even detects as slight little bit of cellular service it switches off the wifi and then you end up getting disconnected because it won't go back to the wifi. In order to connect to the wifi I have to turn the phone completely off and start it up again. Then I have to wait for it to find the router. I even called for... more info
Not Completely Satisfied:
I just got the Nokia 6301 a couple of days ago. I've had several phones over the years, mostly Motorola's and LG phones. I have been very satisfied with the LG phones, but decided to try this one out. I mainly got this phone for the sleek, modern look and because of its capabilites to talk over wireless. But after purchasing this phone, I regret the decision and am going to return it tomorrow. The battery life on this phone is awful. After I purchased the phone and set up voicemail etc... I fully charged... more info
Lovely Hardware, but crippled by T Mobile:
I'm just a regular guy angry at a giant faceless, corporation, and the only outlet I have other than the poor tech support guy is here, so get ready! Likes:
- Lovely hardware. Can't say enough about it. It oozes quality, strength, and style. It's a phone that's built to last and it feels good to hold. The keypad is a bit on the small side, but that's a compromise I'm willing to take. Screen is beautiful.
- Speedy. Typical for Nokia, menu access is quick, screen refreshes rapidly. Lots of... more info
