The Nokia 6303 is one of the best 'basic' phones on the market. It's small and slim yet easy to handle, and is superbly well made. It's also great for making calls on, has a vast battery life, doubles as a great little mp3 player and even has a half decent camera. It has its limitations when it comes to browsing the web and keeping up with your social network but the only real fly in the ointment is its use of a proprietary charging socket, which in this day and age is a major faux pas.
All things considered, the Nokia 6303 Classic is a great entry-level phone if you need to do just a little more than make and receive calls. It covers all the basics very well at a good price.
In action the Nokia 6303 Classic is a great phone to use, calls are clear and it's compact size means it slips easily into any pocket. The most surprising thing, given its "budget" status is that it doesn't look or feel like a budget phone. The attention to detail that Nokia has lavished into this phone, such as the subtle sparkle around the screen and the metal back, make it an exceptionally good phone for the price.
Sure, its hardware specs fit its status and those with wider demands from their mobile phone may find that the 6303 Classic is just too basic for their needs. If calling and texting is the mainstay of your mobile use, with the occasional photo here and there, then it might just fit the bill.
