It feels good to write positive things about a Nokia phone for once.

Four things I’m lovin’ in the 6300 right now:

• The speed: Lightning fast compared to S60. Quite slow compared to older phones.
• Predictive text input actually seems to learn which words you use most and prioritizes them on the word list. For example, I don’t use :-) but I do use ellipsis, … — and now my 6300 gives the three dots as the second choice when I cycle through the possible words recommended by the system.
• The recently used recipients list. Surprisingly quick to use compare to writing the first few letters of someone’s name.
• The tabbed menu. Hard to explain, very nice to use.
