Nokia
6303 classic

When launched, the 6303 classic was considered to be a very competitively priced device at just €135 before subsidy and taxes. It had a vibrant 2.2-inch, 16-million colour screen and an appealing metal finish in either silver (steel) or black. It was manufactured in Hungary and Romania. The phone was designed to be a strong entry-level prepaid device in mature markets and a premium phone in emerging markets. It was ideally suited to the challenging economic climate at the time as many people retrenched to more basic phones on prepaid tariffs because they offered lower and more predictable costs.
