Updated Nokia 6303i Classic set for re-release

A refined, updated version of Nokia’s 6303i Classic mobile phone has been released by the company.

According to Mike, a blogger writing for Nokia Conversations, the model "ushers in a few improvements" when compared with the traditional design, including those in the battery and messaging departments.

"The 6303i classic now comes [with] enhanced battery talents, enabling you to make up to eight hours of calls. It’s also capable of letting you listen to around 30 hours of music via its built-in music player and FM radio," he writes.

Refinement is an area of mobile innovation that some telecommunications companies could do more to explore, as it offers an effective way of developing handsets.

The Nokia 6303i Classic is a top example of this done well, the blogger states.

Other features of the new 6303i include an extended range of communications tools which support instant messaging programmes.

Owners of the Nokia device will also be afforded the luxury of using a 3.2-megapixel camera which is designed for "easily sharing your snaps online".

The Nokia 6303i Classic is due to be available for shipping from the firm’s headquarters during this quarter.

Nokia has recently been enjoying strong sales figures and financial success – with the firm announcing this week that its N97 model was one of the "top performers" responsible for this.

The company’s market share rose from 35 per cent to 40 per cent and the total number of sales also increased during the final quarter of 2009, Mike revealed in an earlier blog.
