  • Hello ... I live in the US and purchased the SGH-C300 on holiday several years ago in Italy. Don't remember anything about the phone except it does not work here. Could I go to a phone shop in Rome to have a new SIM card installed? Will I then have a new phone number and the ability to call while in Rome? Many thanks, Docent

  • the chargers just packed in. phone going strong as ever. with new charger, brilliant littl phone.

  • I LOVED mine. In the year I owned my Samsung C300 it survived massive abuse and still functioned. Fell into (clean!) toilets, floor mop buckets (with floor soap in the water), dropped many times, stepped on a few times, sand at the beach..I'd still have it if it hadn't been stolen at an airport a few years back.

  • hello. the light on my cellphone doesn't work anymore. do you know what's the possible problem?

  • Thanks for info about 3 sim card Regards Denis

  • Denis, 3 sims will only work in 3G Mobile phones. The Samsung C300 is only 2G so not compatiable. Thank you.

  • Anyone know how to take off predictive text on this phone... I cant use it!!!

  • Great fone mine is unlocked but wont accept 3 mobile anyone know why? please

  • I have Samsung C300 handset which has good and unique features and durable key pads but the biggest problem is that it does not have sent items folder and it becomes very hard to refer a certain message unless saved in the outbox, which serves as a draft folder! Please look into it.

  • This phone is awesome, Who ever uses it wil feel happy for the max

  • So firmware C300DVGF1 has silent without vibration. Thank you very much! Finally I can solve my so annoying problem with this phone which in rest is ok as price/value ratio. Thanks again!

  • Samsung C300 Firmware: C300DVGF1 (press *#1234# to see it) Hardware: REV 0.1 (press *#2222# to see it) Software: REV 1.0b (press *#1111# to see it) There you go.

  • come on ... nobody?

  • Samsung C300 Firmware: C300XFFK4 (press *#1234# to see it) Hardware: REV 0.1 (press *#2222# to see it) Software: REV 1.0b (press *#1111# to see it) Mine doesn't have silent function without vibration, so could you please tell me your firmware, hardware and software version, IF yours have dead silent function? It apears that some have and other don't. So I think it is the software version that counts. And yes, I am sure it doesn't have silent w/o vibration; using menu and/or # key goes to same result.

  • need service centres at sec-bad pse msg to my mob. piece is a good model

  • The phone is wow, had an fabulous experience using it; has 100% clarity in call upto international/local, decent ringtones, it's as sweet & portable as you would never imagine not only that it has beautiful screensaver of your choice,you can also access the internet using it,and most of all it records tones/sounds of your choice. I wish we'd get a dual sim of the same

  • trust me guys i HATE this mobile dont think about buying it!! It has nothing in it you cant put any music in it nothing.you only have one game called :Snowball fight!! It is boring!!I had two years ago and i dont work any more!! 1 hour ago i bouth LG KS300 from ebay!! Remember dont think about buying it. IT IS A DESASTER!!

  • how do I copy all sim contacts at once in the phone memory?can you do that or do you have to do it one by one?

  • can u even put music on it???

  • Why does is tell me file too large when I want to download mxit?

  • i am a mobile phone technician, if the handset vibrates when a battery is connected then that is usually a sign of liquid damage

  • nice little phone, strong, durable, great battery life, im sure the flintsones had the same model though

  • Ive had this phone for some time but all it seems to do is vibrate as soon as i put the battery in and i cant get it to stop Does anyone know how to get it to stop if you do please would you tell me its driving me mad...!! thanks.x

  • C300 is a very nice phone, this is one of the simple phones i ever used,it is made of plastic but it can take plenty of knocks but still come back as working..... pretty good phone if u only use it 4 calling and texting............

  • This is a really good phone, with so many nice buttons, I'm very proud to have it, I won't change it at all, even i you give me the omnia I900. All girls are looking at me me when I use it!!! Maybe, if you give me 1 million dollars, I can sell it!

  • I am a facebook user and cant download it onto my phone. Is it because it has such a low memory capacity? Also, i've tried deleting the games but cant seem to. Thanks

  • This is a great little phone for texting and phone calls. The phone is made entirely from plastic, however its really durable and can take a few knocks. The keypad is the best part as it is made from rubber, this is really really nice and easy to text on. Great Phone.

  • can it donwload music

  • thats realy coooooool mobile set. i realy like it.

  • to send a text to someone in the phone book first create your text then select options then on the screen where it says Recipients again select options and then phone book where you can select which contact to send to.

  • can anyone please help my mum has this fone and she says that she cannot send a message to anyone without having to manually type the number in even though she has contacts in fonebook,my dad says its cos its got no memory which i said is rubbish,she has tried but to no avail

  • i own this model too only mine is pink its a very good model i like it its been at me over a year and it doesn't even have a scratch it fell over 5 times but its still like i baught it yesterday !! the worst samsung is the samsung u700 this model is great the only thing that ruins in is that it does not have a cam!!

  • Does the phone have a calendar?

  • Boys and Girls i bought this phone on sweet pink from virgin mobile recently and thought what a nice value phone and as i had seen other peoples Samsungs (different models) expected it to be reasonably loud. When I got it home boy was i in for a shock. Although the build was not bad the screen was poor and the ringtones well my cat can make louder noises (seriously the ringtone volume is very poor and many people like myself witll be missing calls). I have returned the phone to virgin store for a full refund. Steer clear of this one.

  • Hi, can anyone tell me how to get the vibration and melody to work at the same time? I just can't get it to work. I've tried via 'sound setting' - 'alarm signal', but I only get vibration when I switch it to vibration+mellody. (I have also tries to reset the phone to the original settings. Alas!) Thanks

  • yes for sure

  • hi guys im just wondering if the wap on this phone really workss...and can you download mxit and ringtones?? please reply soon

  • well, i have this phone. it doesn't have bluetooth and that is one on the many things i regret. my friends want to send me pictures and i cannot get them because i have no blutooth.

  • Good phone! mine went through the washing machine twice and it still works. The screen inside is a bit damaged but you can hardly notice. Good buy.

  • Try to enter 00000000 - eight zeroes.This is the default security telephone code.

  • when i want to have privacy over my phone, it asks me for the password. the password isnt included in the manual.. so can anyone tell me wuts the password?!

  • i am a user of this model. i dont know how to increase the hearing volume. any body can help

  • i am a user of this model. i dont know how to increase the hearing volume. any body can help

  • Never mind about the light, it's normal. Samsung phone's display stays on while charging, phone on or off. You can turn the light off by turning the phone on while charging and lock the keypad and the light goes out.

  • hey i just got the phone and no it doesnt have a USB cable ting as far as i know!! xxxxxx

  • I just bought one C300. It is very simple, and nice. I enjoy it, it feels good in my hands. When I charge it, the light is on. All the time! Even, if it is off (or on). Question: How can I switch off the light while charging? Thanks

  • hi can anyone tell me how to take the phone off silent mode. thanks

  • The only reason why A phone will break in a day is from purposeful damage by its owner. My mom had one and it was stolen, and she cant wait to get another one! Being 20 in our age of the latest technology, even I would like one.

  • Hey guys, My phone's display screen isn't working anymore and i need to transfer my contacts stored on the mobile phone to my sim card... Can someone please give me the shortcut keys (which buttons to press) in the exact order so i can move all my contacts onto my sim card?! I'm sure everyone knows how annoying it is to lose numbers, especially a large scale of them, so anyone who can give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, W

  • Got it yesterday, and the screen broke today... It shows a line of pixels across the whole display that has a distinct colour from all the others (usually black or white but sometimes has other colours).It's definetly not a case of dead pixels. I had a similar problem with my 5 year-old Nokia 3300, but then again, that was an old phone... To tell the truth, I am not at all surprised, as the Nokia N70 I got a week ago had a dead pixel so I had to take it back to the shop and get it serviced. Just hope they did something to fix the problem. On monday I'm going to pick up the N70 and drop of the C300... Guess they don't make 'em like they used to, huh?

  • i had this phone for a long time and i think it is great. so what if it doesn't have lots of features its a phone and its purpose is to make calls and everything else is just an added bonus.

  • to dissasmbal it u need to take out all the screws and pull it apart

  • I need help dissasembling it. Becuase i have slid it up and down so much half the buttons dont work and screen is faulty. !!Please email me with how to pull it apart or fix it !!! Thanks :)

  • the phone is okbut would be better with bluetooth tho but a good phone little bit to smal of a ey pad

  • i recently got some new wallpapers, a handsfree headset and screen protecter for my phone and it still works good. with the handsfree you still have to push the answer key before you can talk.

  • Please can someone tell me does this phone c300 has a handsfree option, and if he has one, then how can i use it? Thanks

  • It's good but a bit fiddly to manipulate the texting and there are not any decent ringtones, the ones they give you are quite childish. The internet browser is not very functional and hidden away with the "fun stuff". Checking your email is not easy at all. Making calls is very easy though and it has a good speakerphone too. The sliding feature works very well, far better than a flip phone and easier to operate. The phone feels very good in the hand and looks good too.

  • i think taht tis phone is al right i had it for a few monts now and i think it is al right because when i want a new wall paper i can send it from a nother phone to mine and the same for music although it has to be short. there is more features than my old phone but i would like a camera or mp3 player but it is fine cause of the stuff u can get for it like a data cable and a case. my overall rating is 7/10

  • Has anyone had any problems with their phone comming up with limited service and not allowing anyting apart from emergency calls.

  • Guys...you can't connect this to a computer or another phone! Theres no usb capabilities, no bluetooth, no infrared. No connnection!

  • This phone is good but how can we share information from other phones since it doesn't have infrared port?please reply

  • great! A compact mobile that makes calls and sends texts. I have a radio, I have a good camera. To have these things on a phone is pointless! A phone is for making calls and sending texts is a bonus.

  • great litle phone i have it about 1 mounth and no problems the batery life is about 5 days whit dayle cals aproximatley 30 min. Before this one i have a 3G mobile whit memory card , mp3 player etc....but i have litle use for al the crap instaled in my phone...what is the basic of a phone ? think about it!? and almost i forget the great 3G phone's batery dosen't last more than 3 days whitout internet and music only cals...

  • After testing it longer than one day, when I posted for the first time. Pro: - Capable cheap phone - Solid built when slid correctly - Very good buttons and feedback - Ideal for beginners - Very bright screen... Contra: - ... that often switches its own brightness level - Not a very good solution for gadgetfans :P

  • Hi. I have c300 mobile phone.how can I connect it to computer?with what software and cable? I need this information quickly.thanx very very much

  • Design: 7 Features: 6 Performance: 7 The phone feels quite decent for its price (I paid 30 euros including change for older mobile phone) and I like the black look it has. It doesn't have much features, but it does have three fun gametrials of which I bought Tetris and think of purchasing Sudoku. However, I just got it one day. The screen appeared to be real bright in first instance, but the colours just toned down and darkened tonight when playing Sudoku. After that I never got the colours just as bright, although the screen is still clearly visible in brightest setting. However, if the colours change again I'll exchange this mobile rightaway. I mean, I've just got it new ONE day.

  • is sgh c300 has an internet can log in to MSN and yahoo messenger? please tell me. thanks alot

  • Hi ...Preset password for this fone is 000000000. Could someone advice if there is an options to copy all SIM conatcts to phone memory in one shot????

  • Great phone. The + Long battery life, loud ringtones, clear conversations, solid built, auto lock/unlock of keyboard with slide mechanism, easy name search for calls. The - Menu could be simpler, no data cable in box (finding one is rather difficult), not detailed user manual, no "ring ring" ringtones. I have it for a few days. My latest phone was a SE Z710i - I don't miss it at all.

  • The phone does not support MP3 tones read specifications

  • great phone i want to buy it as soon as possible

  • Does anyone know how to prevent the c300 to not keep the screen illuminate light all the time when not in use? At fist I thought that it does that when alarm is swiched on. Once when I canceled the alarm, the screen switched off also. But now it is again on all the time and the battery is getting empty quite fast because of that. And I havent changed anything in the menus. Whats up with that?

  • is this phone allows call recording. i mean can it record conversation b/w two people.?

  • Gr8 for second phone...

  • I dont get why people are saying 'oh this phone's crap, it has nothing, no camera, no Blutooth...' Not all phones are state of the art tech! Some people just want and need a basic phone! And nowhere in its description does it say it has a camera, so why are some of you coming on here and complaining about that? I'm sure you'll find loads of other Samsung phones at a similar price which have a camera. Why not only post comments that are useful to everyone else? If we want to know whether a phone has a camera or Bluetooth, we'll just go on Specifications!

  • some people don't understand these kind of phone why? because some people don't want a camera or have a lot of memory cause they want just a ordinary phone that comes in slide form just for secondary phone so they built these kind of phone

  • I purchased the SGH C300 Samsung at Virgin Mobile UK for 20-quid, (Pounds Sterling). Comes with 200-minutes to use on any network and UK numbers, 01 & 02. My local mobile shop can unlock it for 5-quid. Has many languages, but the T9 takes a little getting used to and is best with English only. I like it for the price!!

  • its not god it have nothing

  • Great value for money!!!

  • love it love it cost only �69 its cheap and classy lookin battery lasts better than nokia 6111 which i bought at xmas would recommend if you want only a basic phone love it love it love it

  • thats very nice stylish & compact design fone its very nice & friendly user interface i like this this trendy classsy fone

  • that's wonderful it is the great one

  • Very stylish, good cashing quality, high class design, quite comfortable keyboard. But.. VERY ANNOYING FOR WRITING & SENDING SMS/MMS! Especially if u r not an english speaker. 1. CANT TURN OFF T9 permanently. 2. Have to press too much button to if u want to choose number from phonebook then send SMS. 3. VERY ANNOYING MESSAGE appear if u write more tham 160 char(s). 4. VERY ANNOYING "Selected" message after adding number from phonebook, adding imges, music or anyting to our message. 5. Those messages appear too long! We dont need that message. 6. Bad way to choose special character. HIGHLY NOT RECOMEMDED IF U R SMS fans!

  • hey... i think its a piece of crap.. no blue tooth!?! i mean commom?!?! and itjust sudenly switches off....

  • Hi, my phone ( samsung SGH-C300)does not switch off. Help me what to do?

  • this fone is a good fone its got realy good buttens for txting and the pink looks realy cool. the battery last's for about 5 days if you use it heeps. overall its prety good value

  • Hi to All! please help me i can't set GPRS setting on SAMSUNG C300, is any one tell me how to do it.

  • Hi can any one plz tell me about samsung c 300 about its slider does it works well or not,its battery range,keypad width and plz tell that i am very confused about buying samung x300 and samsung c300 can any one help me out which one is better in all aspects well.Waiting 4 reply plz mail me to my question i shall be very thankful well take care all of you.have a nice day.

  • To send any data, like a ringtone, you need to make a data-connection. So, you can't send a ringtone without at least a GPRS connection

  • does anybody know if it is possible to set the T9 language as a different one than the language set for the menus? to set it, and keep it that way, because I change it and then it just goes back to the default. and is there a way to have a clock in the main window without having to change the background to a clock?

  • can any body tell me can i get ringtone(poly) or send ringtone with out connecting the GPRS connection? if yes plz tell me in breaf...........

  • I still am very pleased with this phone, but the Samsung GPRS web browser does seem a little dated, is there any way to remedy this?

  • Just bought the C300 yesterday for �40 (Virgin Mobile), but that includes �5 top-up + 200 Anytime Anynetwork minutes as well. Excellent phone, replaced my 1112 wich I dropped once, and unfortunately broke. The C300 feels much sturdier and less tacky than the 1112 did. Also came with Sudoku trial which I purchased the unlock code for, hours of fun.

  • Why don't people just look up the features of a phone before buying it? It's not difficult. This phone does exactly what it says on the tin, for a pocket money price (�30). Perfect!

  • this phone is the best among all samsung phones. i can recerive pics in it through mms...but i cant send pics as mms through it..... do any body know how i can send them??????

  • this phone is great,if you want phone that have sms, and that you can use for calls you got it..I mean that is why you call it mobile phone..i dont need no camera,if you want camera buy a digital camera instead of phone..all i need is phone i can talk with and long battery life..and few sms here and there.. to me presonaly it is better to give 150 euros for digital camera that have great images, instead of buying a phone for 200 euros who wont have even close image quality like digital camera...this is mobile phone and nothing else..my advice- if you need phone for talk and sms buy it..

  • @DS: let that serve as a lesson for you .. next time, try and do a little research on what you purchase. don't just buy a device and complain afterwards. its a "cheap" phone ... what do you expect out from it?

  • can people send you pictures to your C300 and store them to your phone C300?

  • how i can make full silent(no vibrator also) let me know if any option

  • It's very reasonably priced and looks stylish. It allows me to speak to people and to send and receive sms, and these are the only reasons I want a phone! In addition it keeps me organised. I want to be "entertained" by a ringtone for Heaven's sake? I don't need another camera! It's GREAT!

  • Can the recording from the voice recorder be selected as a call alert, a ring tone?

  • Just bought the samsung c300...Its the most stylish basic phone i've seen..worth every penny...excellent battery life...keep it up samsung!

  • Just bought it in Tesco for 40 quid as my old phone broke. Got 10 quid Virgin voucher which worked with my contract SIM so got it for 30 quid. Never used the camera, etc on my old phone so it does all I need. The words 'Fun Club' appear when I switch my phone on which is a bit disconcerting

  • Margaret for alarm u hve to set d time u want it 2ring n save it by clicking d "i" button in d middle of direction keys

  • Yah..too right Ds, its like making calls on a speak and spell... only you can remove the data properly!

  • ugly phone,karl has one

  • If you think this is rubbish upgrade to the A501 or the samsung TU 500. these are the most recent relases and are on the next G network. DUH u dont like the c300 SO SWAP IT!!!

  • hey I have one prob...when i keep the mobile for charging the backlight is glowing donno hw to remove dat...( i kept backlight display off for 10s )

  • come on samsung. we need better . not this old piece of plastic .

  • I too would like to have radio in it but still a wonderful phone for design and hey at that range you can never get a good camera phone so its better not to have just a clasy design

  • Im a very very big fan of Samsung Mobile Phones and thought i had found a little beauty for back to basics. Little did i realise how back to basics samsung was prepared to go in slider mobiles. I found the following problems with C300. 1) Polyphonics are limited to midi tunes with a max of 16 instruments or chords played at the same time this means that many ringtones will not play such as a D600 midi, and thats not where it stops if the ringtone you have sent into the phone via mms is greater than 16 chord it will be received wont play stating not supported content and then you cant delete it out of the phone the only way is by deleting all personally added music and pictures off the phone and start from scratch again (this is not on). 2) As its a basic phone its only got 2meg but thats not bad for just midi. If your after a basic phone with some tones and know the limitations then its not too bad but there are far better phones from other makes such as Sony Ericsson or Motorola with better spec and possibly inc MP3 as well as midi plus camera and in many bottom end infra red (on sony ericsson) or you can use USB Cable). I took mine back to the local virgin store and paid the extra for the E900 much smarter and better but of course more money at �89 this included 200 free minutes to any network (payg) and as i had done an upgrade ie used my old virgin sim card i got �10 extra airtime on top. (this offer was on C300 too).

  • Hi!can someone help me to tell me how to activate my GPRS,if you know how to activate the GPRS on the Samsung C300 I would be glad.E-mail me pleaze at [email protected]

  • Finally i found out to mute the phone while ringing without keeping it silent mode is just to press the down key for 1 or 2 seconds. while speaking just press the middle button in joystick and select speaker on in option menu to turn on handsfree speaker on. and repeat to off.

  • Painfully slow and quite difficult to get connected features working properly. Anyone else witnessing power cycles when trying to access the Internet through a downloaded Java app?

  • Does anyone know if this phone has handsfree speaker? i.e if someone calls me can i just press a button and then everyone in the room can hear the person i'm talking to?

  • You have to hold down the hash key (#) on the bottom right corner of the keypad to make the phone on silent.

  • Kindly Tell me how to make this phone silent , i really need it .

  • Nice Phone, Just bought 1 its a good phone for very basic usage looks expensive but its cheap. Value for money!

  • Hi Friends, This mobile has got a amazing look, Can anyone help me out on this issue. I want to know that whether this mobile has got a SEND TO MANY option in the SMS section. I already have a Samsung C130 which i want to change because of the non-presence of this "SEND TO MANY OPTION". can anyone clarify me on this issue. u can also mail me : [email protected]

  • I bought this phone as a temporary until my upgrade, I had a motorola V3x and it was useless - the battery life was dismal and it drove me insane!! The C300 is ideal as a quick & easy to use phone for very little outlay, if you don't like it don't buy it!

  • cool phone and very simple functions

  • i am planning to buy this fone, can anyone suggest is it a gud option in such a prise range or not. how is the performance any bugs u ppl find while using it.

  • hi.i want to ask c300 users how many sms it can store?

  • Hi I just to check how is the Speed of phone, like when u press something, is it quick or delayed response. Hi Samsung why dont you people also add RADIO in this, it would become one HOT CAKE in the market

  • Hi i bought this phone yesterday great looks like D500 i always dreamed of owning one. i cannot have a camera mobile in my office but finally samsung did it. only thing troubles me is how can i mute the sound while ringing without putting it in silent mode. X300 had that feature plz tell me if there is an option or button in it. thankx

  • A very ansome phone must say!

  • it has a big,bright and wonderful screen.coreeye

  • hello from turkey!.yesterday i bought this phone and i am trying to learn all capability.first it's SO PRETTY AND CHEAP.IT'S 125$ in turkey.how about there?finally it is better than w220...

  • i want to know about its screen... how is it ??? Is it enough bright?? or clear as like X-620...

  • At �40 can't argue. Nice size and shape. Solid build. Good battery. My biggest gripe is the ringtones are all terrible and the GPRS doesn't seem to work at all, so I can't even download any.

  • Beautiful phone. Good price. Only thing I don't like is the big font. Can someone tell me how to change the big icons on Menu bar

  • try to read the user guide before u ask stupid questions . its the little book that comes whit the phone.

  • yesterday i had get this type of phone and it`s nice..design...i don`t need any performances..for pictures i have a camera ..but i need that silent profile and i think that don`t exist .just music and vibration...i need mute while i`m sleeping :(

  • cant work out how to set the alarm.there doesnt seem to be a set alarm option

  • Samsung ppl y cant u put a radio in these phones. U can still manage the cost by adding that thing in it.

  • Does it have a birthday calendar ? Grts

  • Do you have any soft for this phone? please contact me at [email protected] 10x

  • Yeah...it would have been wonderful if it had a radio!Not a camera,not mp3s or 1GB but just a simple radio and that wouldn't make it alot more expensive.

  • It's too expensive.In my country it costs 90$.

  • Oh, just to be noted, I'm also part of the segment that does not want a camera,MP3,edge,bluetooth and other useless stuff on their phone. However, a good adress book and a useful calendar I find are necessary.

  • This phone blows. I bought it to replace my aging Siemens M55 that's been acting qutie troublesome lately. While brand new, it is almost as slow as my old hpone, Phone book lacks horribly, the organiser just as good (as the sucky phone book), and I've just begun to scratch it's surface. I starting to hope I can return and exchange it tommorow :(

  • I Think that the memory idea is a good one perhaps 500 kb not 200? but with the screen being quite small already i don't think it would benefit from a size decrease. I also think the GPRS is quite important in a low end phone, if they're all the same price it needs to be able to compete with other models such as the moto W220.

  • to Marcus i do not agree with you. i agree to remove GPRS, java, put a smaller screen 128x128 or less and reduce internal memory to 200k. it would be more cheap.

  • Who else agrees that with an fm radio included this phone would be one of the best Low-enders ever?

  • I own a Samsung X300, basically same functions as C300 but its a flip phone. Very good cheap designs!!

  • SNOOZE FUNCTION: if you set the "Wake up call" alarm, it gives you the option of "snoozing" when the alarm goes off. The other alarms don't give you the snooze function.

  • Hi all. Anyone knows if the morning alarm sounds with the phone off? And if it has snooze function? Thanks

  • This is a really mobile >>>>> without camera >>>The camera is not necessary .

  • nothing more than a bit changed copy of d600.

  • Is that phone in Egypt too? it looks amazing and wonderful design than my noika 6600 and i am not looking for any bluthooth or cameras.... this phone is awsome!!

  • Does it have USB cable included?

  • what i liked about samsung is that they're respecting they'r customers..and not including in the phone price a camera or edge.lan etc..for people that are not using it.i have a 10mpx camera .a laptop a pda..i just wanna a simple PHONE..i don't need anything else..just a good batery life.a decent display(65-260k colors are OK)..i'm just wondering how much does it weight..because i don't want a "bulky" phone..bye all posted from Germany

  • No its just a low wnd phone with no cam

  • Aww!!does this phone have a camera on it?:(

  • this phone and the samsung X830 are the hottest phones i've seen so far!

  • Hi, Samsung adopts good policy of marketing to have simple features in high class designs. Simple features...means... obviously cheap price... (like I have Samsung C130 quite cheap. Simple features with good design and phone book 1000 excellent. Only improvement in display and usb support for Sync.). Thxz..

  • Hi, Samsung adopts good policy of marketing to have simple features in high class designs. Thxz..

  • Yes people, please! post your comments, your are trully market connaisseurs, I can tell, ha ha. Cheap phones market is a very interesting niche for every company, all the producers have models for this "niche". It`s a phone for companies employees, for example. Organizer&handsfree is enough for the common employer. Since it lacks that many features, the battery life must be very good. So, it looks ok, it`s cheap, the battery is fine. Sounds good to me! For the Record, I own a Nokia 6230i and a Sony Ericsson T630i-both very good choices at their time; my next buy will be an Alcatel E 801 (in time I realised I don`t use camera, I don`t need LAN, Edge, Wlan, GPRS, and othe techology crap). I post this for all of you hat are so quickly to judge a phone (and any product for that matter!) disregarding it`s TRU PURPOSE.

  • this phone is going to be released maybe in camboja or serra leoa... its going to be so cheap becuz its too basic. 2mb internal memory??? not even a poor vga cam?? get moto v360 instead.

  • Samsung c300 must be really cheap.My mom wont even buy this phone.People want phones with cameras at least,look at the moto v360 camera + bluetooth.Its 2006 goin 4 2007 come on samsung you can do better.

  • sometimes, some people just dun understand y phone company wanna release a phone with virtually no function that can compete with nowadays technology. come on man! there r so many different social classes in this world. not all people r as rich as all rich people that can change phone every single day

  • WHY!!! Samsung??? What happened to you.

  • this phone is a copy of what motorola did. they introdued the w220 as a cheaper version of v3 but without the camera. now samsung comes out with this slider phone but without a camera.

  • maybe ther e are people out there who wants a slider phone with no camera! Alcatel has one.

  • fantastic! In answer to the question 'is this still a phone'... go and crack yourself around the head with a frying pan... Bluetooth and cameras do not make a phone. If this is priced at a point similar to the Nokia 2600 it could be a winner!

  • e370 wannabe lol, good for pre-paid maybe?

  • If this is under �40 then i am SO buying it !!!

  • shame on you samsung!

  • No camera, no bluetooth, only 2 MB,...Is it still a phone ?
