I see lots of mobile phones but it isn’t often that I come across one which not only looks great but manages to deliver too. In fact I was a bit sad to let Nokia’s 6300 go.
Why is this? The 6300 isn’t the cleverest mobile on the block: there are plenty of other phones with higher specifications. It’s not even a 3G handset, just Tri-band GSM with GPRS, so any data related tasks are relatively slow to accomplish. But it is extremely well designed, very small and comfortable to use, and has little by way of brash showiness about it. Even the blue lights on the left and right edges of the casing which flash when an SMS arrives feel muted and useful rather than simply being bling.
The network operators seem to agree with me. You can get the 6300 from free on contracts from O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Orange – the latter of which supplied my review sample.

The immediate appeal of the Nokia 6300, is the slim candybar build and solid design. At just 91g it is as close to a featherweight as you’ll get for a phone with so much metal in its casing. A good proportion of the front fascia and the back battery cover are made of cold silver metal. The front buttons are silver plastic, while the upper third of the back of the casing, screen surround and shortcut buttons are black plastic, the latter punctuated by a silver navigation key. The colour scheme and use of metal lend an air of sophistication to what is essentially a low cost, mid range handset.
In size terms the Nokia 6300 gives Sony Ericsson’s W880i a run for its money. It is 106.4 mm tall, 43.6 mm wide and 11.7 mm thick. That doesn’t quite match the W800i’s ‘Size Zero’ 103 x 47 x 9.4mm but it gets close enough for me, and very importantly, this phone beats the W880i hands down on the all important factor of usability.
The 6300’s main keys are sizeable and clearly marked, making fast texting unproblematic. The Nokia selection keys and Call and End keys are well spaced, and the navigation pad and its central select button are large.  The loser here is the display which is slightly smaller than I’d like. It measures two inches corner to corner, but even this is bigger than the W800i’s display. The screen shows 240 x 320 pixels, and 16.7 million colours, and because of its smallish size it is very sharp. On a rather fluffy note, the default ‘dandelion’ wallpaper is pretty – and you don’t find me saying things are pretty too often! Of course you can change it to whatever you like.
The provided headset uses a 2.5mm jack rather than a 3.5mm one. This is Nokia’s biggest failing as far as user ergonomics go. Sound quality from the provided headset is just OK and its in-ear buds won’t suit everyone. A 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter is far too unwieldy to contemplate, so stereo Bluetooth headphones may be an attractive option. But you are stuck with the provided headset if you want to use the built in FM radio, as the headset houses the antenna.

Mobile TV services allow subscribers to watch on hand-held devices either through telecoms networks or by broadcast.

Foreign investment in a provider will be allowed up to 74 percent, but no more than 20 percent must be owned by broadcasting companies, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India said in its draft recommendations.

The provider, too, cannot hold more than 20 percent of a broadcasting company, it added.

While telecom firms will not need a separate licence to provide services on their networks, they will if they wish to broadcast such services, TRAI said.

Firms need to have a net worth of 400 million rupees ($7.6 million) in each service area to bid for satellite-based licences and of 30 million in each area for terrestrial-based operations, the regulator said.

Operators which win licences will automatically be alloted at least 8 megahertz of spectrum, and will have to share its infrastructure with other providers.

India’s state-run television channel Doordarshan, which has a monopoly on terrestrial transmission, should be permitted to share its infrastructure with providers which use terrestrial transmission systems, TRAI recommended.

The choice of technology used to deploy such services has been left to the provider, but it must be digital, based on international standards and should allow subscribers to migrate to other providers without changing their handsets, TRAI said.

At present, they are paying between Rs 1.20 per minute and Rs 2.40 per minute. However, this tariff change is not applicable to 495 Lifetime pre-paid customers and other customers enjoying special schemes.

Sanjay Kapoor, President, Mobile Services, Airtel, said: “As an industry leader, Airtel has always been at the forefront of driving affordability and expanding the market. This initiative marks our strategic intent to simplify tariffs and differentiate ourselves in a market already cluttered with multiple tariff plans. Going forward, we will continue to explore innovative and affordable tariff options that are aimed to speed up growth, enhance customer value and significantly contribute towards increasing our market and revenue share in the future.”

However, sources say that MTNL has already submitted a plan towards this to DoT, but MTNL’s top brass refused to confirm or deny the development. At present, state-owned BSNL operates cellular services all over the country, except in Delhi and Mumbai, where its sister company MTNL provides communication services.

It is learnt that the communications ministry is in favour of allowing MTNL to expand beyond these two circles, in a bid to improve its falling profits.

Besides, the communications ministry has also been pushing for increased competition in mobile telephony services, to bring about a further reduction in cellular tariffs.

According to sources, DoT had asked MTNL to submit a list of proposals, including the option of expanding to other telecom circles, as the PSU has been losing momentum in the two metros.

This is because MTNL is confronted with falling landline numbers, even as its efforts to scale up its cellular operations have been restricted by the fact that the two metros are nearing saturation.

This has been reflected in MTNL’s poor performance for the last several quarters. For instance, even as all private telcos and state-owned BSNL are registering record growth and impressive profits, MTNL had posted a 13.7% decline in net profit during the last quarter.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2007 its profit declined to Rs 94.78 crore, against Rs 109.92 crore in the same quarter last year, while its total income at Rs 1,345.31 crore was 1.4% less than Rs 1,365.24 crore in the corresponding period last year.

The company has posted a basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) of Rs 1.50, less than Rs 1.74 of last year. The dip in net profit and income was largely due to the 4.8% decrease in income from basic services in the quarter and increase in administrative expenses.

Additionally, MTNL’s bid to expand operations abroad have failed to take off. The company lost all its bids so far for mobile licences in countries like Saudi Arabia, Kenya, Qatar and Sri Lanka among others in the last two years. Earlier, in 2006, MTNL had sought DoT approval to expand outside the two circles, but the then communication and IT minister Dayanidhi Maran had rejected the proposal.

Sources also said that if DoT were to allow MTNL to take a pan-India licence, it would also be forced to allow BSNL to operate in Delhi and Mumbai to ward off turf wars between the two.

BSNL too had approached the DoT in 2006, seeking its approval to launch services in Delhi and Mumbai, but could not go ahead as Mr Maran was against this.
