In short, the Nokia 6300 features a 2-inch QVGA display, 2.0 MP camera with 8x zoom, 7.8MB internal memory, a microSD card slot, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0, an integrated FM tuner and a media player. Internal memory is a bit short and Nokia should have bundled a larger microSD card to compensate and a mini USB cable. But in general this is a solid and understated mid-range phone that deserves to be popular.
