Nokia's annual Capital Market Days at Amsterdam saw the announcement of yet another cell phone. The new Nokia 6300 candybar is an affordable phone from Nokia and, at 91 grams, is one of its lighter ones as well.

The keypad is generously ergonomic - a welcome change from some of the currently available models with horribly small keys. The Nokia 6300 sports an integrated MP3 player apart from an FM radio receiver. On-board, it boasts of 135MB memory, with microSD memory cards up to 2GB supported.

A spiffy 2 megapixel camera is available, and it offers up to 8x digital zoom. The phone is 13.1mm thick, and its white color definitely gives it a yummy feel. The 2" QVGA screen is another good addition.

Nokia claims an easy-to-use menu interface available on the phone, although details are sparse at this time. A talktime of 3.5 hours and standby of 14 days are claimed.

The Nokia 6300 will hit the stores in Q1 2007 at a pre-tax price of €250 (US $328).
