This is bad, so bad that I just want to throw it away and buy another one:
-Worst keypad ever, sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes it works twice with 1 press :))
-The operating system is FRUSTRATING slow, sometimes even freezes
-Alarm's driving me crazy, it doesn't even work until I actually turn it's screen on
-Apps like Youtube make the whole phone super hot
Conclusion: I think the reason for all the above issues is that the hardware is not suitable with the operating system. The OS might not be fully optimized, or it's just the hardware build which is not enough for the OS(which is, confusing as it's microsoft who built this :)) Wondering if there're any ways to change the OS of this phone

                Does what I need it to do. Make phone calls. Receives SMS text. Send text.

                Remove the SIM card from the iPhone, install it the 6300.

                I made a few setup changes...

                Bottom line it is an backup if my primary iPhone breaks.

                  Java games and apps (.jar files) : NO
                  Random Alarm clock: Yes (this is crazy experience :D)
                  Turning off internet data is not working.
                  Writing SMS: tragedy
                  I expected much more from this phone and I god the same feeling: Nokia after Symbian end is garbage. Last good phone was Nokia 3310 3g 2017 (only TA-1036 where many of the old java games and apps worked).

                    Had a C2. best phone I ever owned, ran 10 years and then 3G disappeared. Bought a Nokia 6300 without hesitation, what a terrible decision. The keypad skips characters, sometimes 2 at a time. Sometimes the phone doesn't detect key presses. It's almost unusable for texting; a pretty basic function.
                    Sometimes the phone turns off. One must remove and reinstall the battery to start it up again.
                    The 38 page manual is also pretty useless. In th etext the keys are sometimes referred to with the name(must look at the drawing) and sometimes with the symbol printed right on the key(should be a no brainer). Warns us not to touch the antenna area but the antenna area is not shown in the drawing.
                    I suspect that Nokia framed out this development job to a third party in order to save money and they got what they paid for.
                    As one who has been designing electronic products for almost 40 years I cans authoritatively say that the 6300 is a real POS.
                    This phone is so bad that Nokia went from a devoted customer to a never-again customer in one step.
                    To add insult to injury their website is a veritable maze designed to discourage customers and prevent them from contacting Nokia.

                        I upgraded from Nokia 3310 3G because it had a hard limit of 200 text messages.

                        Nokia 6300 4G is:

                        -Much slower
                        -Has terrible keypad, I'dont want to send text messages anymore. It's hard to input just one letter or number, usually I get two.
                        -Has a shiny plastic surface where all fingerprints and dirt show.
                        -Speaker function is unusable, the receiver can't make out what I'm saying
                        -After two years the battery is already dying

                          Hi

                          I bought this phone for my wife. My wife has 2 email addresses. One gmail & one hotmail.
                          Currently they are both combined and accessed by the Nokia email icon. Is there any way I can separate the 2 email accounts and have 1 icon for each email account?

                          Thanks!

                          Paul

                            It is slow and not working very well in general. This I could live with for the great benefit of not having a smartphone. Sound is decent when not using the speaker. But the worst thing is the keypad. Sometimes a push gives no response, sometimes one push gives double response. Writing is a nightmare. A short sms will take a long time and lots of frustration to write, since you have to correct every second character. This I can not take.

                                The revival of a legendary 6300 seemed to be a great idea on paper, with a somehow powerful processor and a promising OS (for these nuggets ofc). In reality the device isn’t a bad one inside, but ugly as hell outside ngl. Ye olde 6300 had a metal frame with a removable metal backplate which felt really nice in hands, new one, on the other hand, offers you a cheap looking full plastic body. 1 step forward and 2 backwards as for me.

                                  Loudspeaker is not loud enough for a elder and KaiOS needs lots of improvements like in basic apps like contacts. It doesn't make use of the keyboard at all. You have to always go to the search bar and select it and type the name. You cannot just type the name as soon as you open the app. Lack of these kinds of minor features makes it un intuitive to use. Nokia please go back to making those flagship Symbian Feature phones.

                                        Can anyone tell me if one can change the screen so that it shows a list of apps instead of the icons (or grid)?
