I picked up the 6301b because I was intrigued by the UMA feature. I figured it was a chance to save a few minutes on the family plan. In Its Favor: °It is slim. °It is light. °It has a genuine AV port, not some hokey Pop-Port for the headphone/microphone. Thank you Nokia! °It takes the ubiquitous and inexpensive BL-4C battery, can squeeze a BL-5C in for extra juice. °The Nokia 6301 can support a maximum of 4GB microSDHC memory card. °I easily was able to drag and drop from my Nokia 6290 music collection to this phone. °UMA is simple to setup. It hooked up to Skyriver in under 15 seconds. UMA is carrier specific. Fido UMA will not work on T-Mobile and T-Mobile will not work on Fido. °Synching with the T-Mobile on-line phone book took all of 35 seconds when it came time to transfer to the new phone. °Voice dialing takes about two minutes of training by repeating a series of key phrases so the phone can get a clue to your accent. It is very accurate after the training in distinguishing between -Home- and -Joan- in 95% of attempts while dialing in my car, not the quietest environment. °A metal battery cover that is not flimsy gives a very solid feel to this handset. °It takes good photos outside. °The charging stand is a nice touch. It looks cool and reduces the amount of time I spend looking for my mobile in the morning. °The new AC-4U charger is more energy efficient using about a tenth of the energy the old style AC-3U charger used when sitting idly in the receptacle waiting for a phone to charge. °Ringtones are loud, clear and can use just about any sound file supported by the phone for a ringtone. °The keys have a wondrous texture to them. They feel great under the fingers. They are unlike any other manufacturer's phone keys. They are not slick or sticky or plasticky. They have a texture to them that allows you to feel the key and grip it with your finger pad. °Personal Informaton Management is intuitive and fairly complete. PC synch of the PIM is not straight-forward until you use Nokia PC Suite. It is good but not perfect. ¤The screen washes out in outdoor light, even on overcast days. ¤It could use a flash for the camera. ¤The UMA sometimes hands off to the tower base station between picking up the phone and hitting the send button. ¤It sometimes forgets it is connected to the router. ¤The headset that ships with the phone is a wired stereo headset. Please ship it with a mono wired headset as well. ¤The design offers no protection for the lens over the LCD. ¤Bluetooth + UMA = Needs more power than the BL-4C provides, another 1mm, or less in thickness would have allowed the BL-5C to sit in the battery compartment and add 25% more oomph, and it really needs that. ¤Firmware 8.22, seems to have addressed most of the issues I previously raised in this section. Use Nokia Software Updater Software (NSU) to install it. Very automated process, easy to do. Overall this is an excellent phone. The positives far outweigh the negatives. The User Interface is quick. The phone memory is large and expandable, signal reception is excellent and sound quality is Nokia - none better Still using the 6301b in 2013, five years old and works great. Beware of the Look-a-like 6300 which is easily mistaken for the 6301. Nokia gives its variant phone models different RM-xxx codes. These will help you to determine what you are buying. RM-323 = 6301b (North America)(850 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz + WiFi) T- Mobile/Fido RM-322 = 6301 (Europe/APAC) (900 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz + WiFi) RM-217 = 6300 (Europe/APAC) (900 MHz 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz) RM-222 = 6300b (North America)(850 MHZ 1800 Mhz 1900 Mhz) Ask the Seller for the FCC ID to ensure you get the correct device.Read full review
Sep 2010 I rely on Tmobile's hotspot at home service to get cell service inside my house where otherwise there is almost no cell reception. When my Samsung Katalyst died recently, it was disappointing to see the only Tmobile UMA (hotspot) phones sold new or refurbished are smartphones. I want a plain jane phone. Also, a phone is something that's easy to lose, break, or drop into water so why spend a few hundred on it? So paying less than $100 for a used phone even if I have to buy a replacement battery makes sense. After reviewing all the models phone models Tmobile supported for UMA, it looked like the Kayalyst and the Nokia 6301 were the best models. I had the Katalyst for almost two years and was used to it, but it has these problems: - No menu customization (every day it took about 15 keypresses to set the alarm) - Crippled bluetooth (only connected with headsets) - Slider would collect junk and it was sometimes hard to open - Speakerphone had limited volume - Proprietary headset connection, lousy OEM headset Otherwise it was a good phone I've had the Nokia 6301 for almost a month, here is my consideration of it: 6301 Pros - Smaller - Great bright display - Fully customizable user buttons - Superior sound quality to the Katalyst - Great speakerphone, good volume - Has standard headphone plug and standard USB plug - Great support from Nokia for PC file transfer and firmware updates - The charger stand is convenient 6302 Cons - Poor battery life. Needs recharging daily (on a new battery) - Keys are a bit small, requires attention as to not hit wrong key BIGGEST CON: Issues with wifi. 6301 has a history of problems connecting to wifi but those appear to be resolved now. Every now and again (usually in the evening) I will get transient cell signal inside the house, especially in my bedroom. Sometimes over the course of an hour I'll see the phone connected to cellular, then back on wifi, then back on cellular, then it won't go back to wifi. I have to try a series of things, turning wifi capabiilty on/off, restarting phone, restarting router, which always gets it back on. Problem is if I don't notice it was off wifi, there is a period of time where I'm disconnected from network completely or worse, I'll start a call on cellular and it will just drop quickly. - This problem is tolerable... I don't leave the phone near my bedroom window and this hasn't been an issue. Comparison with Katalyst The pros of the 6301 well outweigh it's cons. The user interface and hardware interface are so much nicer than Katalyst that it's well worth it. I can deal with the battery life and wifi-cellular issue. You may want to select a Katalyst if: - You need battery life of more than 1 day - You cannot deal with small buttons - You get cell reception intermittentlyRead full review
I bought this phone specifically to downgrade to a more simplistic handset for my everyday usage. By trade I use Blackberries, and other PDA smart phones. With that said I chose this handset because of its robust media features such as A2DP and AVRC bluetooth profiles as well as a build in FM radio and 2mp Digital Camera. I also like the large screen boasting 16.7 million colors on its high resolution screen. Overall this phone should not surprise any buyer with its feature or design, but rather be a simple straight forward handset to make and receive calls while listening to music and media.
Great phone.. Very slim. I bought this to eliminate my land line and use as regular home line, since T-mobile offeres unlimited Wi-Fi calling, which is great. The quality is of voice clarity is great, but as Wi-Fi signal is sometimes unstable, phone has tendency of disconnecting while in coversation once a while. The menu options are simple but not best of all. I tried to bring some picture as wallpaper, but still was not able to find out how. I consider myself a computer and gaget gru, but some minor Menu options on the phone doesn't seems to be friendly or widely exposed for easy access.
Nokia - easy to use, nice design. It has metal battery cover and housing. Looks stronger than the units with plastic cover. I'm using this for a few days only - works great!
