Nokia 6300 – Apple iPhone Theme
Jun 12th
If you like to tweak your Nokia phone with a little iPhone touch, a nice theme is available, and it is compatible with the Nokia 6300 (my previous phone before I got the real deal – the iPhone 3G). Furthermore, Adobe Photoshop files are included in the theme pack, which enable you to make new backgrounds for the iPhone theme with the transparent iPhone overlay graphics.
Download iPhone Theme from here (or from this direct link)
A link to a nice Mac OS X theme is available in my previous post on Nokia Themes.

Here is a freely available plugin to make the Nokia 6300 work using iSync, and it is actually fairly easy to make a such plugin, which encompass the solution described in my previous post on the Nokia 6300 iSync issue.
Here is what to do:
- Download the Nokia 6300 iSync plugin
“UPDATED 28MAY2008″ - Extract the Nokia6300.phoneplugin.zip (your browser might do it for you).
- Quit iSync if its running
- Double click the Nokia 6300 Plugin
- Drag and drop the green folder on the blue one
- Start iSync, and the Nokia 6300 should be supported
Additional notes and issues:
- iSync only synchronizes the contacts you have on the phone and not on the SIM-card. View this comment.

I have previously written a post on how to make synchronization work on a Nokia 6300 using iSync on Mac OS X, however, if you using Google Calendar it is possible to synchronize directly using the mobile application GCalSync.
Further information can be found on the Google Group – GCalSync.

Setup and Use GMail on Your Phone
May 13th
There is a couple of ways to use GMail on your phone, the two first-mentioned are recommended:
- Use the GMail application on your mobile, go to gmail.com/app on your mobile device’s web browser and download. The application features viewing attachments you receive in messages, including photos, Microsoft Word documents, and PDF files. More info…
- Use the lightweight GMail on your mobile, go to http://m.gmail.com on your mobile device’s web browser. If you connect your computer to the internet using GPRS on your phone via bluetooth, it might be a good idea to use lightweight GMail to economize some of the expensive data transfer. The normal GMail web application will load over 200KB in the initial load, while the lightweight version loads about 10KB. More info on setting up a internet connection on your computer via bluetooth with a phone.
- Your phone might have a build in email application on your phone, e.g. the Nokia 6300 has an application that features support for setting up GMail access through POP3.
Additional notes:
- Use Goggle Search on your mobile, go to http://mobile.google.com on your mobile device’s web browser. More info…
- Use Goggle Maps on your mobile, go to www.google.com/gmm on your mobile device’s web browser and download. More info…

Nokia 6300 Mac OS X Theme
May 7th
I found a Mac OS X theme for the Nokia 6300 in this thread, it’s pretty nice.
I also found this iPhone theme for the Nokia Series 40 phones, but somehow it does not seem to work on the 6300 as different people have posted in the thread. Hopefully it will be available soon…
UPDATE: The iPhone theme works with the Nokia 6300 now!
