Advantages: Clear screen, portability, Nokia reliability

Disadvantages: Inserting/removing micro-SD card is fiddly, can't listen to radio without plugging in earphones

For me, the Nokia 6300 is the perfect companion both at home and when travelling. I have both music and electronic games stored on the phone - and storage space is no problem because whatever won't fit in the phone's internal memory can be put on to a micro-SD card.
In my opinion, the best thing about it is its compact size and its slim shape, which mean I can easily fit it my pocket and carry it about without any problem. This is followed very closely by its generously sized and clear screen.
The downsides are just a few, but not major ones. I wish, for example, that I could listen to the FM radio through the internal speaker, without having to plug in earphones. I'd also like the insertion/removal of the micro-SD card to be less fiddly. Finally, my preference would be for slightly bigger keys, because I sometimes find I mis-type a word, as my fingers miss the intended key. But I suppose the larger keys would mean having to make the phone bigger overall, which would reduce its appeal.

Summary: Reliable, with plenty of features, but out-performed by newer phones
