The display of the 6301 Nokia is 2-inches and supports 16.7 million colors. With this screen the colors are bright and your pictures will look great. Text is also fairly easy to read so there won’t be as much squinting while reading text messages or web pages. With raised keys, the keypad is easy to use for dialing numbers and sending text messages. In addition, the keypad is backlit so using it at night is much easier.
With this mobile device you have support to keep contact information on at least a thousand different people. You can also save your contacts in groups and assign each group a photo and ringtone.
Some of the extras you get with the Nokia 6301 include text and multimedia messaging, a vibrate mode, and an alarm clock, as well as a calendar, a to-do list, notes, and a calculator, a countdown timer, a stopwatch, and a notepad, a currency and unit converter, in addition to a world clock.
