Nokia Succumbs to Smartphone Anorexia With the 6300
Apr 26, 2007
By far the biggest examples of smartphone anorexia, or mobiles that feature really thin form factors, come from Motorola and Samsung. Motorola brought itself back into the game with the RAZR, while Samsung claimed the thinnest-of-them-all trophy with its Ultra Edition.
With the Nokia 6300, it looks like the Finns are jumping on the bandwagon. Though relatively fat at 11.7mm thick (43.6 wide and 106.4 long), the 6300 is still thin enough not to bulge pockets. There are also some multimedia features liberally integrated, but the lack of 3G may turn off connectivity freaks. The SPEC summary:
- Tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900 Mhz) smartphone
- Color QVGA display
- 7.8MB internal memory, microSD slot accepts up to 1GB
- 2 megapixel camera
- FM radio
- Music player
- Comes in silver and black
