6300 vs F305

[Knight]

Hi,

I am in dilemma to choose between F305 and Nokia 6300.

but reviews say that 6300 is not good enough in battery life.
otherwise, its an excellent handset.

i think F305 also would have same issue. because, playign games would obvisouly drain the battery!

my primary concern is for Music, Camera should be OK/Good enough (not expecting too much on Camera).

Please assist in this regard.

Regards,
Knight

6300 is a pathetic cell phone. I disposed of it months after getting it. I had to charge it atleast twice a day. Take Coool's suggestion and get G502.

6300:

camera: below average
battery: pathetic
call quality: far below average
display: stunning
features: average

F305 but.... +1 for G502

[sujoyp]

yup go for G502...6300 is not a good choice right now and F305 does not fulfill ur requirement

[confused!!]

6300 very poor phone...gets heated very quickly

Go for G502

I own a 6300...6300's battery backup is not up 2 the mark...The battery gets drained within 1.5-2 days...Otherwise it is very gud...I can't say anything abt F305..No idea..

6300
+ fantastic screen 240*320
+ decent cam and music
+ good robust metal finish
- only drawback is its poor battery life

f305
- poor low res display 176*220
+ better games , similar cam and music capabilities
m not commenting on the looks
+ slightly better battery life
- technically , its not a SE ... manufactured by sagem ... few issues

g502
+ great display 240*320
+ fantastic music and decent camera
+ a200 interface ... the latest one from sony ... used even on all their high end fones like the c702 c902 c905 etc
+ the only 3g fone (when compared to the other two)
- somewhat ordinary looks and regular plastic finish
+ great battery life ... 10hours on GSM

i wud go for the g502 ... if u want me to pick one of the two u were asking about , nokia 6300

guys, thanks for ur tips/suggestions;

But, Testfreaks.com scores F305 much much more than G502. surprising!
ansd other reviews such as techtree suggests F305 better than G502

[hahahari]

F305

I'll also say G502.

F305 only if you want that motion gaming thing.

it looks like G502 is outdated and i couldnt get it in Bangalore.
F305 is easily available. however i dont want a gaming phone.

so, i thought i can choose 5320 XM. but based on many reviews -- it has a poor battery life. (not even last for 2-3 days).

so, this forces me to go for F305.

again, you advice / suggestions please!

G502 is definately not outdated ...

anyway coming to the point , i'm using a 5320 and the battery life is disappointing ... but apart from that its brilliant s60 fone ... fast .. ngage support etc ...

since u are not into gaming , may i recommend the 5220/5310 ... both are slim fones with slightly better battery ...

coming to SE , u have the w580i (priced around 5320)... way better that the f305

or there is the nokia 3600s ... 9k ... with a spec sheet much better than all the fones mentioned above ... but yeah , its not a smartfone (s40)

yes. W580 is a super hit phone and is a big success. Great display, superb music quality, good battery backup, slim casing.
