Latest Firmware Version	6.01

The phone also has two slow flashing lights on the side to show, at a glance, missed calls or messages.

Its successor Nokia 6301 has the same design as the 6300, but adds WLAN/UMA capability.

Some carriers prevent the use of custom ringtones which are in MP3 format (.mp3). The solution is to convert such ringtones into the Windows Media Audio format (.wma), or to use free, third-party software to remove these provider locks.

The phone supports MicroSD cards up to 2 GB (4 GB with the 6301 variant), meaning that the phone can be used practically as an MP3 player. Using the supplied and freely available Nokia PC Suite, one can convert all the MP3 files in a music library to e-AAC in order to fit more on the card. However, the 2.5mm headphone jack means that few commercial headsets will fit the phone but an optional headset, Nokia Stereo Headset model HS-81 (made By Sennheiser exclusively for Nokia), does offer as a better alternate replacement for the supplied standard headset due to its better bass sound reproduction quality.

Like most other new Nokia phones, the 6300 eschews their old pop port for a standard mini-USB connector. The cover over the connector is extremely difficult to remove at first but taking the back off the phone makes this easier.

With the latest firmware version (currently 6.01, not available for some local models such as North American) Nokia 6300 is capable of smoothly playing MPEG-4 (*.mp4) files with a QCIF resolution (176*144) and a frame rate of up to 25 frames per second. The phone allows the user to view the video clips in full-screen landscape mode and set the fast-forward/rewind interval from a few seconds to minutes. In addition, video clips can replace ringtones so that an actual motion picture is shown while there is an incoming call.
