Hey guys,
im in the market for a new phone, my experience with sony ericssons has been real bad or i was going to go with the K790. Im looking at a noka 6300, and want to know what people in general think of it, how they like it etc. i know it has a music player and stuff, and i want to know if it comes with headphones/headset that has 2 speakers instead of one...stuff like that
any input would be appreciated
thanks !!

It comes with a stereo headset. But you wouldn't want to use the Nokia stock headsets anyway. You can get an adapter to use your own headphones with the phone. For 6300, it supports A2DP, so if you have a bluetooth headset, it will put out stereo music via BT.
The design is really sleek with the brushed metal casing. But if you are a guy, you may find the phone is too thin to hold comfortably.

No first-hand experience but some comprehensive reviews here and here. Plenty more to be found through search engines.

The music player is identical to the one used in the music phone Nokia 5300. It is a brilliantly elaborated player with extensive setup options. Besides managing all functions common for a music player it also sorts songs by artist, album, genre, and composer. The player works with MP3, MID, AAC, AAC+, and WMA formats; what?s more, it supports A2DP profile and thus can play into Bluetooth wireless earphones.

Together with the phone, in the retail package you will find a Nokia HS-47 headset. The earphones quality may satisfy you as long as you do not have big expectations and you tend to use the music player rather occasionally. The earphones feature a 2.5 mm jack, so any substitution for another set of earphones is impossible without a corresponding adapter. Music features are tuned through an equalizer or by using the stereo expansion function. Nokia 6300 has only one loudspeaker located on its rear cover; its plays quite well, though. Besides, it does not get silenced when the phone body is placed on an even surface.

I think you will find the answers to a lot of your questions there. But yeah, nothing beats info from owners. Strange things do tend to pop up over time that aren't often mentioned in reviews.
