Nokia is always improving their previous popular phone. This time is Nokia 6300’s turn. Undoubtly, Nokia 6301 is the successor of the famous thin bar, Nokia 6300. Well, the differences between these phones are about the internal memory, thickness and the new addition of WLAN technolofy.

Firstly, in this decice, memory gets a boost to 30 MB and optional microSD card up to 2 GB, you can feel free to express yourself.
Secondly, although Nokia 6301 looks exact the same as 6300 with the candy bar form factor, the device is slightly thicker (13.1 mm compared to 11.7 mm) and heavier by approximately 3 gram. Thirdly, the highlighted improvement is surely the Wi-Fi technology support. WLAN wireless technology seems to be a common ‘must’ feature to many evolved devices.

Nokia 6301 still remains similarities though. The tri-band GPRS and EDGE are kept and continue to be used. Lastly, the most important improvement in Nokia 6301 is of course the UMA technology.

This handset uses UMA technology to integrate the benefits of landline and a mobile phone, including seamless indoor coverage, affordability and sound quality.

I expect this UMA mobile phone to be suprisingly strong sellers and suprisingly strong interest to these by consumers when all the pieces are available..
