Love: Very small, elegant, handy. Very good signal reception (Nokia typical).No camera (I would rather keep my Canon handy). Can be set to very loud, so in very noisy envoronment no problem to communicate. One touch loudspeaker mode make easy to share conversation with others if needed. Long battery life. I wanted phone only for making calls and I found a perfect one. If somebody prefers other than black color, there are plenty of skins on Internet (just ask Google) for reasonable price. Easy to program SIM chip makes phone compatible with many services. I paid $25.00 for the new programmed SIM card in my Cingular store.
Dislike: It's beyond me how they could in User Manual forget to include information about VOLUME CONTROL, the most important control in the whole phone. But this is not a phone fault. The phone can be actually too loud if is set loud.
The following information I found on Internet : For VOLUME control use cursor keys LEFT for LOWER and RIGHT for HIGHER.
Why I bought it: I purchased this phone as a replacement for the lost one in the middle of cotract and I could not made a better purchase. When my wife saw my new beauty, she immediately wanted one for her despite of fact, that her phone was just fine. Now we have two Nokia 6030 phones.

I had this phone for 6 weeks now, and I can tell it's a great phone. Looks and feels stylish, and it's features came so handy.
The battery life is far better than what I expected. I dont need to recharge the phone for 5 days, with average talk time an hour a day.
The To-do list option is very easy to use. Ringtones are not boring like motorola's or samsung's. The speakerphone is good, too.
In short, I dont think I would need to change any time soon.

My old phone broke, so I needed a replacement. I chose this one because I don't need a bunch of extra features, love the hands-free and speaker-phone though. In comparison to my last 2 phones, battery life is fantastic. Seems a little flimsy, but no major problems yet - just some scratches. Sound quality is good, however people on the other end seem to have trouble hearing me when I use the speaker-phone.

This phone was branded T-Mobile and I use AT&T, which seems to have caused some problems. It is probably a lack of knowledge on my part, but I get an error message whenever the phone is turned on and I can't send or receive picture messages. I also have trouble downloading ring-tones, games, etc...

Overall, the Nokia 6300 a good, basic phone. I would buy again, but would choose one branded for the my carrier, since this seems to have led to some quirky behavior and a small loss of functionality.

The Nokia 6030 may be a simple looking Bar styled phone and it may not have all the feature's that most of Nokia's higher priced phone's have.But for someone looking for a great working,easy to use,and very reliable cellphone you cannot beat this phone.The quality that i get out of this phone in signal and the speakerphone alone is worth more to me than a camera or bluetooth.I have went through over 20 phone's in the last year searching for one that gave me the consistent signal and a phone that had a great sounding speakerphone and sound quality that and true battery source and time that this phone offer's.This is a made for Cingular phone,but mine is unlocked and i use with T-Mobile and even T-Mobile phone's do not hold a dime to this phone.I'm glad i bought it.And i'm glad that i finally found a phone worthy of what it does and they say it can do.Which is hard to find these day's.So my last comment on the phone is simple.If your just looking for a reliable phone without all the feature's like a camera,bluetooth,Infra this is the phone for you.It was for me.
