Samsung M300 - User Reviews

  • ohhh its a great exepirince for me i just loved this model but their are not available assesres in india my pin had broken when am dniking my friends after that am went sumsung store there are not any resolution but after that i manage it

  • I've got mine still working up to the present... 6 years and still going. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zOn3m.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/p5p3F.jpg[/IMG]

  • This phone Samsung M300 does not have bluetooth. However, this phone comes with a wired headset that you can attach to its base so your mother can still talk hand-free. The headset is also used for the phone's feature FM radio. I still love this phone because it is small and handy. I have dainty fingers so texting using this phone is not a problem for me. Internet connection is using GPRS and it is quite slow if you compare it with quadcore mobile phones nowadays =P but it's better than not having internet connection when you need it the most. I hope this helps.

  • My favorite handset until now... Hoping to find one that is still new... Anyone who knows where i can find one?

  • Had a Samsung M300 for years - absolutely love it. Now gone wrong .... trying to find another one!! Easy to use, good size for handbag, can't fault it. Grown up kids take the mickey but it's been great for me to use for their emergencies. Where can I find a new one .. huh?

  • I've had mine for nearly 5 years, VERY PLEASED with it!! Just now starting to have problems with the battery going down in 3-4 days. I've gotten really good service out of it. Will replace it when Sprint makes me an offer to upgrade for free,,,,

  • in egypt i look for soare parts for this model M300 but i didn't found, please if any one know send mail for me

  • Great little phone! Bought it second hand about two years ago, been working flawlessly all the time. Has all you need from a phone (rather than a toy), excellent size and weight, good construction and battery life (4-5 days average). Only low points are the buttons aren't as clicky as they could be, thus not perfect for texting, also the SMS memory fills up quite quickly as it's size is only 200 single texts.

  • v bad performance.my screen is now black,carbon is unuseable now.

  • Can you use a hands-free, bluetooth device with this phone? My mum has this phone and I want to buy her a h-f device for her car (it's the law now), but I'm not sure that this phone supports it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • The M300 is a good cell that has served me well but the only thing I don't like about it is there is no program that you can use to download pictures to your computer. The only way you can is send them to yourself which costs you.

  • New phone, 3 months. Standby only 14 to 16 hours with flip closed.Retailer refuses to acknowledge problem. Otherwise love it, good size and clear keys, easy menus (once I read the manual) Older person with hearing probs, easy listening. Pity the battery is useless. Have to re charge twice a day.

  • my Gf bought this she like this phone but while her using line is not clear to me everytime a head Suuuuu Suuuuuuuuu

  • My comment about Samsung SGH M300 is that it is a nice mobile.I am using this mobile from 5 months and it does not have any problem.It was fallen from a high height butt it only had a scratch and it did not give me any problem.This mobile does not have bluetooth.My request for the who has made this mobile is that this mobile sould have bluetooth and have 1 kb momery. Thanks

  • >How do I remove the flip answering my phone. Menu,phone settings, extra settings, unmark active folder. I marked "any key" in stead and see who's calling on the (main) opened screen (the exterior small screen only shows a ring) pushing any key accepts the call, not just the green key. I guess if you unmark "any key" you will need to push the green key to accept the call. BTW, someone knows how to show time on outside small screen all the time?

  • xow Ican put the pictur on the front display

  • How do I remove the flip answering my phone. I want to be able to open and then press the button to answer. How do I do that? Thanks

  • a sleek phone,gisty and girly.i just love it. Am Anastasia.

  • i like the size of the phone SMALL dosnt weigh a tonne where can i buy another one in brisbane battery tangs broken on mine

  • sadly, u cant send it 2 ur computer!! u can buy a usb cable.. but thats an additional $40- $60 WHICH IS DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT- coz the photos arent gr8 quality and the phone is soo cheap!! any1 wondering if they should buy this phone... i strongly suggest u DONT!!!!!!! :-)

  • Best phone in the market imho, cos i hate having to carry around big phone with me all the time.. !! 80 x 40 x 16.7 mm !! M310 is sad its larger for no reason n have same crap specs. It would be mad if Samsung can make M300(maybe bit slimmer like 10-14mm) size phone with decent 3mp camera, video n larger internal memory. (even 40-60mb would do the job) then it will be the best small phone by far. I would rather have ultra small phone with 3mp camera over N95, U900, C902 etc any day..

  • no video camera.

  • This phone's camera is the best, it doesn't have bluetooth or anything fancy but the camera is one of the best!!!

  • its a lovable phone but it has no infrared or bluetooth that puts it so low. otherwise i enjoy using it.

  • This is the greatest fone along with the Motorola V3 AN IT IS good for chech my anwers on my home work and the radio is class along with the signal

  • hi friends today i like to tell u this phone is not working properly

  • Hello, In fact that is the only defect I find with the phone. The messge ringtone is very low not like the call ring tone which is really loud. If I new it befire I would not have bought the phone. All the other features are OK with me.

  • Hello, of course it has a calculator and calendar. Open Menu > organiser > calculator

  • very good very small with good features of basic phone thanks for samsung for their ever improving qualities,i like samsung products,best of luck t6o my sfavourite samsung and they will be world leaders in all products

  • Hello to switch the radio push the upper nagigation key, then the left softkey, follow the menu to switch radio ON. To switch OFF push power on/off key

  • Hello to put the phone in silent mode push the hash key for a while and the phine vibrates in your hand and goes into silent mode. To disactivate do the same procedure

  • Hi to all people who have SAMSUNG M300, i have one question. On my SAMSUNG M300 on display all time stand symbol "G" thats mean that GPRS is ON or ???. Can any one tell me how to TURN GPRS OFF. Because GPRS waste the battery life. Thanks and please you can write to my e-mail [email protected]

  • this phone would be awesome if it had a memory slot and mp3 player. 600 KB is rediculous.. it is so small its like an mp3 player size. cute but impractical

  • could any one tell me how to put this on silent mode (just lights blinking). when i press the silent mode key, it only goes to vibrator mode.

  • some says it has FM radio? I cant find it here in my phone, where is it? can someone teach me how to use that radio? email me please..thanks, i like this phone, its just that it has limited features..very handy

  • The M300 is very very petit (small). Also I think it looks quite good. There are a lot of drawbacks though. First of all the features. There are just none, it's a very basic phone. At first I was quite attracted to that, but that kind of disappeared when I discovered it could do nothing. No cool ringtones and the features are the same as the X460. The thing is, this one is more expensive than the X460 (because it's more recent) and it's sound quality is much poorer. I think the sound quality is it's main flaw, and it's MAJOR. Really, i think a person talking to me on the phone has to repeat him/herself at least once every minute... Awfull... - Better buy an X460 if the battery is still alive. Design 9 Features 2 Performance 4

  • I agree to the most said before. Just for staying in touch it is great because it is really small. One drawback though: if you want to use the camera for other purposes than sending MMS - forget it. It is not compatible with the Mac at all and with the PC only when using a serial cable. The USB cables offered on ebay are useless, Samsungs software (latest version 2003!) recognises serial connectors only. Poor.

  • Very nice and simple. Only one complain: when is set to ring and vibrate in the same time it only vibrate. How can i teach him to make them both? I have tried to reset settins, but with no use. I

  • Samsung M300 was actually released when "The Simpsons Movie" was released. The M300 was released in a Yellow colour for the movie. Although lack of features for the phone arent that great, samsung still thought everyone would buy their product due to having a "simpsons" liscence. But, wouldnt you think that they could have chosen a better phone? Instead of a lackluster no featured phone? Well i guess if it has a simpsons liscence everyone would be sucked in to buy it, and to find the phone is a complete lackluster of a phone. Well there you go random long fact of the day.

  • I made a photo, but how on earth can I get this photo from my telephone to my compter?? I only can mms it to someone else. But I want my photo on mine computer. Can I email it? Hope for an answer.....

  • in fact i purshased it from 4 days coz simply i thought its E700 , anyway its a vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv.cute phone and bettary is good (Dubai version) , so small , light , but NO FEATURES AT ALL , anyway i have Nokia 6500 slide , but its now back to its box , i'll use samsung only

  • um is there videocamera and how do u use it

  • i like this phone but i'd like to have infra red too....and to can film somthing:D

  • The Samsung M300 is a very handy phone. With its size and weight, I couldn't even feel its bulk in my jeans pocket. This is a basic phone - calls, texts, and mms capable. When using the call feature, there is voice clarity. I can clearly hear what the caller is saying and the background noise is reduced which adds to its clarity. When using the text feature: texting and reading sms, the font is big enough and dark enough which makes reading messages easy even for elder people with poor eyesight. The keypad is rather compact due to its size but each key is equally well-spaced out so typing in texts is similar to that of an average sized phone. The backlights and brightness can be adjusted to suit your needs. As for the MMS feature: this phone can only send up to 30kb file size via MMS - be it a photo, ringtone, etc. No infrared nor bluetooth feature. The VGA-type camera is also adequate. Knowing the quality of Samsung, I can also get very good shots as long as the lighting is good, too. As with all other Samsung phones with camera, it also has different options (frames, zoom, mode, self-timer, etc) to suit your needs. The only difference with this phone is that it does not have any video recording feature. For entertainment, this phone came with 1 java game: Snowball Fight and also has FM radio feature that I could use with a headset (included in the package). FM radio transmission is also clear and the sound quality is also good and can be comparable to the sound quality of a sony ericsson phone. Overall, this is a good and handy phone with all the basic features. I can also say that this is a very hardy phone (as compared with Nokia - I dont mean to badmouth, but all my nokia phones were rendered useless when I accidentally dropped those only once or twice!) as I have already dropped mine a few times at that. It already has some visible scratches but other than that, my phone still works at its peak performance. Nice job, Samsung! I also have a Motorola Razr V3x - that is another hardy phone that I love so much. Yes, it already has a few dents and scratches but it is still working! LoL.

  • i love it, it's small and easy to carry. want some ring tones though

  • I just had the phone last Friday. all fine but really want a sound and vibriting call tune

  • Great little phone, I have really enjoyed using it, it has all the features that I need :)

  • simple phone..i like it very much! only some trouble to move taken pics..should have bluetooth built in.. :P

  • It says - Organizer

  • Does it have a melody that vibrates as well. Thanks

  • I love M300 sooooo much but I need Bluetooth

  • got this as a second phone... dont need any fancy features as i have another phone so over its great LITTLE phone... forget its in my pocket sometimes lol

  • Does this phone have a CALCULATOR and a CALENDAR function? Thank you for your time.

  • Was given this phone as a present a few weeks ago. Would not have bought it myself. Is small and light but nowhere to put a holding cord and the battery lasts about 2 days at the most. The keyboard is so small I have to use my fingernail. The earpiece not too good either - callers keep fading in and out and sound distant and tinny, no matter where the location is. These phones are really ideal for children who like texting, but not adults.

  • the code is 00000000 (8x) ;-)

  • Got mine Thanksgiving. Have looked through the instruction book but unable to find if there is a speaker so my wife and I can both listen atthe same time. Can you?????????

  • I like it. but having trouble getting texts coz the message ring tone isn't loud enough. can anyone help with my technical difficulty

  • could u pls tell me the password for Reset settings for samsung for m 300 is it all for samsung models same as nokia 12345 for your reply pls

  • i have m300 phone i like it like a child. anybody can tell me how can i connect this phone to the usb slot, i did not get any cable with this phone.is it need to purchase suparate?

  • i have just bought m 300 and think that's pretty kewl!! it's small, light:) and i do have fm radio...don't understand what all talking 'bout when saying it doesn't have radio!!! it's nice and cheap!! great for the price!!! i bought it for my mom for christmass! she'll be so happy!

  • it's a cute little phone, but i need to recharge it almost every day!

  • Very surprised with this little phone. Doesn't have much but very handy and nice and will hold its time better than most of the newer phones that will look big clunky in a year or two.

  • i have a m300 for about 2 weeks and the battery is ok, allmost 5 days if i don't talk to much(20 minutes/day).the problem with this one is the voice quality from earphone.it's a very simple phone just to speak,that's all .

  • I have this phone and I love it, I have the pink m300 and I think it�s very small and cute.. The design is nice and the pink colour is fabellous, it shines much . the battery life on this phone is ok :) .. And the camera is ok too , but the design and the small siza is a plus..:) I love this phone, it�s one of my favourite.. it�s small in some feauters but its still very good , so I recommend it to you all , and the pink model for girls :P ..

  • I have M 300 But I don't have FM Radio in it. Also, ther's no video. This phone is comes from Italy, It's Korean made. May b it's another Model of samsung mobiles. Thanks

  • can someone please tell me the battery life of the UK version of the M300?? I see that the USA Sprint version isn't too good, but have read good battery life reviews- is it the UK version that has good battery life or not??

  • What is the battery life like on this phone??

  • After using a slew of mobile phones with top notch specifications-Bluetooth, MP3s, so on and so forth I have forgotten what's like when phones become coloured and comes attach with camera. Back then even the most basic camera phones are coveted products and comes highly expensive. Fast forward to Year 2007, Australia,- the M300 is only selling for $99 and and if we put ourselves back 20 years ago- M300 is indeed a top notch coveted product. It's indeed very small and the coloured screen are of high quality. While it does not even have Infrared- this phone is geared towards people wanting a basic phone to execute the most basic things in life- to call and text. To a majority of people this is all they ever need. I like this phone for its simplicity and reliability. Battery life is good while it does lack alot of feature,as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Cash out $500 and you might get a better quality phone but for M300 the duties fits the price.

  • I do not like this phone. It does not have snooze in the alarm. Looks nice, is small and lite, but i�m going back to nokia.

  • where is the video.This pfone have'n video !!!

  • am really a samsung enthusiast. i started my interest with samsung m300 when i first saw it. well,i really appreciate with its physical feature but i just dont know why even havin infrared with it was not included. hope to see a new model who looks like m300 but its feature is upgraded

  • its beautiful coloured screen flip phone, with built in camera, has got a videos, downloadable games and ringtones, has internet access like gprs, wap services also has a radio and best of all it is very easy to use im sure youll love it..

  • does anyone have better instructions than the ones that come with it. apparently the manual instructions don't say how 2 record ringtones... amongst other things!. Cheers

  • I don't know why some people are complaining about how scarce this phone is when it comes to features. It's a low-end entry level device at a very reasonably-cheap price, so I think it's sensible. I'm probably gonna pick one up next week since I'll be leaving for the US soon and I'll be needing a really small phone for my roaming SIM that I can wear on a neckstrap so I can receive text message from here in the Philippines. Love the really small size :).

  • This phone is sold here in Brazil as C510. It looks like E700, but smaller. No FM radio, and 2Mb memory. It's a nice little phone, with limited features.

  • Yay just the phone I've been looking for.. something small. 80 x 40 x 16.7 mm, 63g is [borat]NICE!!![/borat] I don't need all the useless bs on the phone as long as it has alarm, vibration and do the job. I just want something small so i can put it in my pocket. I hope Samsung(or other manufacturer) can make even smaller phone, i dont need crappy 640x480 camera or color screen, i just want something small!!! 70 x 40 x 10 mm, 40g would be nice..

  • its a very good phone.. my custumers really like it... its very easy to use and very small..and lightwiegt.. go samsung!

  • I deal with sprint mobil ph, The worst complain i have recived from my customer's that M300 does not have FM Radio.

  • Battery life terrible! Try and get through to Sprint for help..... If you don't mind holding for 30 minutes! Don't forget...If you are not nice to Sprint support they will dump you and your account!!!

  • Can't get pictures off (I have sprint) because sprint disabled bluetooth for camera functions...they want you to spend $10 a month (base fee plus download per-K fees) on their stupid picturemail that is javascript and not blog friendly. I got a cable but no sync function with Vista. Camera phone is complete waste because pictures are marooned in phone until you pay sprint a huge ransom to get them off BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  • I've had the M300 for about 2 months. Battery life is terrible. I'm lucky to get 8 hours of standby time (no talking or usage of any kind!) before the phone powers itself off because the battery is dead. Sprint store won't help; basically telling me this is normal.

  • I don't know who gets 4 or 5 days of life from the battery--I am lucky to get 12 hours with NO calls--just it being on. Took it back to the store and they said that was "good". If you need a phone more than 12 hours at a time, this is not it.

  • Great Phone. Very good battery life. It lasts 4-5 days with a lot of texts & calls (the battery is Li-pol and not not Li-ion, and the talk time is 6 hrs). Reception is very strong, it still gets signal even in poor network coverage. I had Rokr E2, Nokia N73, Nokia E65, Samsung P910, SE K800i and other old phones and i can say this phone beats them all in battery life. Well done samsung.

  • i use phone all time good yes - internet browse! yay! na dr radio

  • this phone don't havo radio fm

  • 00000000 by default

  • ok aileen..glad it worked..i had so many phones in d past..from N-Series to E-Series to walkman phones, samsung phones, etc..now i hav this rokr e2 which is a great phone..but i saw M300 in welcomm and i think it's cute...i was thinking of getting it..is the external screen readable?do u hav YM?i wanna ask more kc...

  • To: Jameski Thank you.. the password u provided worked!! I bought it at Ipixel Store- Cyberzone-SM City North Edsa. Initial Charge 7/29 -- succeeding charge 8/02 7pm -- so i guess battery is OK. Screen is full color & clear. Am only using it for Suncell Calls. Price is 6000.- Phil pesos, Open Line, No Sim.

  • hi aileen..try 00000000..samsung normally uses this password..by the way, where did u buy it?how's the battery life, screen, & performance?im here in manila

  • HELP PLS...Bought a unit for 6000- Phil Peso. Great for Suncell calls. Smallest Clamshell size. 1 Problem: My Unit is askin for A PASSWORD -- for deleting phone# in memory & for unit RESET ---- Samsung didn't provide in its instructions...

  • I reckcon its an ok phone (only cause theres a simpsons version) but it needs bluetooth or infared and a bigger memory

  • See on what basis this phone is designed I can't cum to conclusion. Basically its a camera phone with no required memory (just 0.6mb), than whats use in getting it.

  • And no memory card, no Mp3 ringtones, no video (the specification with video is an error), small battery meaning charging every day...But still a lovely phone.

  • Saw it yesterday, looks exactly like E700 but incredibly small and nice. Very cheap too in Bangkok about 100 euros. Nearly bought it but the Vga camera and only 600K memory made me think twice. Finally will wait for the 6267 Nokia with so many more features, even if bigger. But nice gift for your girlfriend though...

  • its on sale for a mere �39.99 on tmobile uk

  • samsung m300 aside ocean blue color are they have another color;i like m300 because its so cute'

  • I have seen it in three colors on mobile gazette,but I don't find it in India.How long I have to wait.

  • is it smallest ever?

  • How much is it in SE Asia Region? in the Philippines? Adil and Pie, anyway thanks a lot to you guys!

  • when i first saw this, i thought it was the e700 ...

  • art, I can tell u that the U stands for ultimate such as 'u600 or U700, or U100'

  • Isnt this phone exactly the same as the E700 range? Good lower end phone I guess.... Not sure on what 'M' range means either, hmm

  • its a very cool Phone,might be in a low range.

  • What's M stands for? Anyone who can give the first letters of Samsung models mean, e.g., Z, E, C, X, F, i, D, etc.? Thanks

  • Hmmmm, that�s strange - about stand-by and talk-time data --- German T-Mobile states that stand-by is 290 hrs, talk-time is 360 min. I wonder which data is right, it makes quite a difference. T-Mobile DE:

  • I am first.it is very simple phone.
