  • I want to by Featured phone samsung model no. SGH-A800 please give me information for by this phone thank you;

  • i had this phone for 7 years now never had any problems it looks good and i will try to buy a new one like it

  • You should try Samsung M300. It's almost the same size, but with camera and FM radio.

  • what is the problem if my phone flop and i open the l.c.d is not clear...thets why i cant flip my phone....

  • *2767*7822573738# pls try this code and restart your phone.

  • ive had this phone since year dot and i LOVE it.trouble is the LCD has gone and i want to retrieve my data stored to phone.....can anyone help? the phone itself is in perfect order other than the display not displaying:( help!!!

  • my friend has this phone. . i'm just wondering how many MB it has. . ? can you send some pictures from Nokia phones to this Samsung SGH-S300. . ? Like how many pictures can it receive to fiLL up the memory. . ? thanks. . !

  • I have had this phone for 5 years. I still have the original battery. I have never had any real problems with this phone at all. I have Cingular Wireless as my carrier and have been able to download ringtone. I also get signal where many of my friends do not. I don't know what I'll switch to if I ever decide to upgrade my phone.

  • i have this phone for three yrs and last yrs it start losing the signal from the network and it csnt seem to accept any network. i'm in Jamaica. has anyone ever had this problem or know what to do

  • I had two of these phones. The first one died after a year (just stopped working). The second one died after two weeks (the speaker broke - I could hear the person, but they couldn't hear me). Finally I gave up and got a Nokia. I have a Nokia 3120 now, and haven't had a problem with it for over two years.

  • I like this phone so much when it comes to simplicity and size.Its colour is fantastic and so unique.however here we do not get 2 batteries why? Otherwise thanks for this phone because its fantastic.

  • had this phone for almost 2 years and i really like it very much for the design. However, it's difficult to find my favourite melodies as when it comes to download through usb, it only support .mmf files but not .mid files. Strong vibration, loud music when it comes to .mmf files

  • I love this phone - fits everywhere, the reception is good and I love the little light on the cover. Unfortunately, mine felt in the sea and died a month ago. I recovered my sim card and put it on another phone. I need another phone that is similar specially in size, to the S300. I don�t need a camera though, but if it comes with it, fine. The best thing is that the S300 came with two batteries so I was never disconnected! Can anyone recommend another one to change it for? Thanks a lot!!

  • This phone is great because it is small enough to put anywhere, although it is also extremely hard to find when you loose it. The reception is mediocre, although when you get into a non-reception area, it automatically cuts out. The best thing about it is that you can drop it many times and nothing happens! I am however looking for something new...does anyone know of a phone of similar size with more capabilites and better reception for a resonable price?

  • This phone is already 2 years old, of course it's nothing compare to the new phones now. However, it was the best when it first came out. The screen is great, reception is unbeatable, looks even better when I changed the housing to white!! Too bad mine got stolen!! :(

  • wont accept jpeg images tried everything just crappy 256 colour gif files does anybody know how to solve this other than that good reliable phone sometimes voice calls break up to often even with full signal strength

  • I have dropped this phone numerous times and it still works great!

  • I have been using it since Feb. 2003. It's the best phone I have ever had. Even smaller than my V-phone. 40mm width x 20 thick body size is so easy to hold, and it's perfect for my LV pohch. It's a pitty no one makes the phone as small as it.

  • I`ve had this phone for a really long time and i must say that was my best phone until now(panas.x70). Phone is quick,fast for writing sms messages, excellent recepction quality,great screen, big letters really loud poly.melodies and average vibrating alert. Only bad thing that I must admit is warming up when talk time was longer then 10min, then the phone gone crazy with warming the hole ear, other then that great

  • if i want to change my antena of my samsung s 300 whit one antena of a samsung a 800 will i have the same signal .pls help me if any one try to do that.by

  • I have this phone and I LOVE it. I have dropped it, kicked it, and sat on it, but it still works like a dream. I have had it for a year and a half and have no complaints. I would recommend to all.

  • Selling S300M mint condition (only reason for selling is it does not work on Cingulars 850Mhz N/w in USA works perfectly in 900/1800/1900 Mhz n/w.)

  • this is a really good phone buy it guys

  • really nice fon...ring tones sounds really nice and loud.its so small and very light..but,the calendar is so not convenient...but great phone overall...

  • Great cell in special for girls ! My wife is crazy about it.

  • super cooooooool

  • The only auction selling S300M!!!! I am selling a mint condition S300M (MMS capable) with lots of extras on ebay. Please search for S300M on ebay to find my listing. Best price! You will not find a cheaper deal!

  • i want to know more details and price of the cell.the model no is S300.please give me the details and the price

  • samung s300 is very,very cool and fine phone.i am happy with this phone.

  • witam czy jest program go zmiany kolorum w menu prosze o katakt tel +48 509 41 49 49

  • hi..may i ask..did samsung s300 got chinese language???i need to know the proce too..please reply me through my e-mail...

  • my husband bought me a SGH-S300M last christmas.l still use it and think it is a really great phone.pity you can'y get a camera attached to it though.

  • I recently switched from cingular to at&t and i would like to switch my sim cards.Can you e-mail me the unlock code so i can use my aT&t sim with my S300 thanks lauren

  • I am extremely pleased with the size, quality, user friendliness and the triband capability. However, I purchased when working in Singapore and can't get it service programmed here--can you help:

  • This is one of the best mobile phones i've ever used and i would recommend it to everyone who search the best average phone.

  • Can I know the pricing of this phone in Malaysia?And is there spare part more expensive than Nokia phones?Do you advise students like me to use this phone?

  • i think on this samsung s300 very high class and small. This is easy for ladies..

  • accidentally drop it one time, and the external LCD wont turn on, very sensitive phone in terms of durability. Has good warranty though, they replaced the LCD. Other than that good phone. feels good inside the pocket.

  • I *almost* bought this b/c it is so small, cute, and has lot of features, but didn't b/c of Cingular's shitty service & the fact that this phone is camera-less. I need the cam feature since my mom broke my digi cam last year. Bought a Nokia 3650 instead. This is still a great phone & if you can live w/o a camera(and can get it on another network) this is a great choice.

  • i just wan to know that ... izzit samsung s300 got phone messages memory or not!! (internal memory for message!!)

  • i like it this phone, my phone is r-225 for my the mark samsung is wanderfull. i belive that the samsung line in all us products is the best. i like it that sending information the phone models s300 and a325..... ........thank you.....bye

  • always bought nokia, saw no more good nokia phones out that i wanted, bought the s300, no regrets, a bit hard to text, but easy after a couple of days, clear good screen and ringtones are LOUD, amazing phone, buy the samsung e600 coming soon...more colours,camera, and looks the same as s300!

  • Can any one tell what the unlock codes are for S300. Bought one off ebay but I need the unlock code to make it work.

  • s-300 lousy model..don't buy..I'm glad I bought a S-500 and a X-400 last week.

  • excellent phone user friendly

  • this phone is no longer available in my country... merchants say this is a failed product. is it true?

  • Well, S-300 is more for the ladies....looks so small....too elegant...Guys, by S-500. Any guys buying S-300 is defintely a faggot or a sissy! hahha..sorry

  • Don't buy this phone. It hangs. The phone has soft ringtones. It looks so ugly especially the long antenna. Sucks.. buy S-500 or E700. Better

  • If a product turns to be your dream fone then it's possibly one of the best in the wolrd.

  • Does anyone know if it is possible update the S300 to S300M just by updating firmware ? Or are them different hardware ? Thanks !

  • i think this phone is really rubbish cos it is too small and after you have been holding it for about 5 mins it slips out of your hand i sold mine after 3 weeks of having it and got a e700 instead much better phone!

  • s 300 is cool

  • It's very nicelooking but difficult and unusual to use. Just so much different of Nokia:)

  • Im not positive on this but i think the going rate of this phone on ebay is about $230 USD unlocked. I've checked local stores that import this phone and costs about $350 USD.

  • In terms of phone/sound/display, I'm quite statisfy. The nav-keypad somehow isn't quite convenient, its too flat, and I often mispressed other keys. The program is not the worst, but it's really unimpressive.

  • great phone.i love it

  • I'm going to buy the s300m in Gent (Belgium) for �320. I wonder if that's a good price.

  • in my opinion about samsung s 300 no chinese language.no camera...

  • Why not samsung come out a external camera that can attach it to the samsung s300, i think that will be even more attractive!!i waiting for this shocks!!

  • This phone sounds really good. as i am looking into buying this phone, i would like to know more about it, like how much it cost's if not payed on contract.

  • Juz brought this fone yesterdae... Was Almost perfect toward my expectation.... small..friendly user..65k..easy Dl pic from provide Cable..everything bout it is Great.. i would strongly encourage ppl to buy this fone despite the lacking of camera and mms!! Bye to nokia ... Suck keep making Big fone and DUMB DEsgin !!

  • i have this fone, ha ha u dont i do

  • tft display is better than ufb tft display provides more brilliant colors, better viewing angles but it also comsumes more power..leading to shorter battery life.. but tfd display(v200) rules over both tft/ufb

  • wad is UFB display and TFT display?? wad's the diff between both??

  • s300 got java, s500 doesnt have.. s300 is smaller, s500 is larger.. s300 uses UFB display, s500 uses TFT display s300's resolution 128x128, s500's 160x128.. s300 has dual-color screen but s500 doesnt.. conclusion: s300 wins

  • Can i know what the different from S300 and S500

  • put on pay as you go pritty please

  • i need a program to down load ring tones.

  • I had before a Samsung T400 and now i own an S300. There is only one word for it:pleasure . Through the years i've changed a lot of types of cells but without any doubts i can tell that this is the best i've had so far. It's fuckin fancy, the sounds are great, it has a strong signal the graphic is awsome ...and so on. he's got a 10 from me.

  • hello, i am a student in isle of man, UK. Wanna buy S300, but dont have a redit card. Can u help me out?

  • if the antenna is shorter....it would be nicer......

  • The antena is too long, but this is a great phone. Kinda confused which one to buy, either S200 or S300. I think they almost the same, except the model.

  • I think the games are top. Bit dear though. Love the style!

  • This is a Great phone i have had it a week now and no compliants so far! It is one of the best phones you can get free on contract so get it!

  • You can put any picture as your wallpaper!!! Just upload using your GPRS cable. so any picture you like, save it onto your computer, load it onto the editor software which you all should have if you bought it clean, then download it onto your S300!

  • I can't decide on which phone to buy, S300 or Sony Ericsson T610. Any suggestions?

  • I think this phone is great. It's just so expensive.

  • i can't use my GPRS...;

  • a really smart looking phone, it has some excellent features and bags of street cred. Does anyone know where I can get ringtones for this phone? I am looking for Mission Impossible

  • What about the S500 model of which we cannot get any information on that site? It's however cheaper (less than 300�) than S300 or S100 whereas features are more or less the same...Does anyone own such model? And if the case, is it worth having?

  • ty meowys indeed it's an excellent phone

  • an excellent phone. small in design and nice colorful lights & menus. i love it! i've been through 5 phones within 5 years, and this is the best i've had! to delete custom wallpapers or ringtones, goto 'menu', 'fun', select 'downloads'. the select 'sounds' or pictures'.

  • anyone can tell me how can I delete a melody from S300?

  • An amazing little phone. I bought mine two weeks back and i just love it. Bye bye to Nokia.

  • I don't know how can i delete a picture that you have added?

  • can u tell me the price on the samsung s300 with and without contract. thanks, jh

  • Since the introduction of cellphones in this world, everythings so remote, i couldnt imagine my life now without a cellphone. And i consider this a "Major Breakthrough." I've had a share of nice phones since then, from Panasonic bag phone (3watt), Nokia 3210 (3 sets), Nokia 8850, and last Sony Ericsson T68i. Now that a lot of cell is into MMS and cameras, and not all network carriers is into it anywhere in the world, we still cannot utilize the capabilities of the MORE expensive camera phones which for me is not necessary for a mobile phone, thats why when i saw this S300 i find it so impressive just by reading the specs and features, i hope its all true...i'll be getting one next week so wait for my actual comments...wish me luck!

  • This phone doesn't have MMS!!!!!!!!

  • Not quit a phone with none problems. After a few weeks i had dust inside my outside screen and a noise speaker (very difficult to hear the caller on the otherside). And why does Samsung not make the antenna on the inside? The colordisplay inside is one of the best also the ringtones. I wonder what the durabillity is (got it now for 4 months).

  • I have the same problem with Orange... there are ways of getting round it *cough* use o2 wap settings *cough*

  • Superb little phone - no support it appears for downloading JAVA games via Vodafone tho! What a let down! I will be pushing for a refund!!

  • I think if Samsung S300 have camera will more better and more beautiful.

  • Samsung really are dominating the mobile phone market. The Korean manufacture is doing very well. I'm suprised no Japanese manufactures are doing anything.

  • This phone does not have MMS even just for receiving.

  • Is the USB SAMSUNG S300 (MA-8220) available in Indonesia? Pls. I need help.

  • I'm torn between T500 & S300. Need some advice.

  • Lovely, small and compact telephone. Mine came with 2 batteries, a slim and a standard one, which is a bonus! The front screen acts like a mirror when on idle mode, another bonus! However, I'm not a big fan of the ringtones, I want a simple "Brrrrrrrring Brrrrrrrring" please Samsung!

  • can sumone tell me how much is this phone in malaysia plzz...thz!

  • S300 has nothing special...it's got some problems like A800

  • Well, when you go to toilet, you come back, you can check whether you have missed calls or messages, because the front screen is a mirror blocking of all the information.

  • For all you lovely people who have a S300 this is for you a wap site for the T100 but they all work on my S300 the images section isnt working yet but there is a sustantial section for polytones so here it is>>>>>> www.polyphonic-sounds.co.uk/wap/index.wml i know you will love me for that!!!!!!!

  • Nice but i will prefer T400, T400 sont have a lots of features but has a big screen, it's for MEN. s300 seem to be for WOMENNNNN...LOLLLLL

  • cool

  • i just got it to day ! i luv it! wo hooooooo every1 should get it!!!!!

  • i dont like this phone, sagem my-x5 is much better

  • Juz want to ask whether if someone send a picture mms to u can S300 save the picture and set it as a wallpaper???? PLs reply asap THANZ

  • Finally got it!!!

  • i got one..keypad not very good..some of them are loose..and sometimes its like nokia 8310..it restart by itself for some times...the rest is good...but i dun know if it is good for a long term usage..!!

  • I've just got one of these, it seems like a nice phone, but the ringer is too loud, and there are no "normal" ringtones. They are all too musical and say "Look at me! I've got silly phone!"

  • S300, I can sell a brand new set without warranty for US$350.

  • soon buying

  • waiting for it in thailand!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • Buying soon let's see wat people see

  • A very good phone

  • I love it is Goog to use !!

  • it has same price with Nokia 7250,but samsung S-300 has more beautiful design and performance then nokia 7250,but samsung S-300 doesn't have digital camera, but i like it so much because of the small size

  • Have you guys found a good belt clip for this phone??? I can't find one :(

  • I just bought the S300 last week for $300 w/ T-moblie in SF bay area. I mainly like the size of the phone & the included software which allow me to download my kid pictures directly on to phone w/o the internet service. You can add on ringtones the same way, too. It's a cool looking phone, OK reception. I compared w/ my friend Mot T720 w/ same service, in a same building, the Mot T720 has better reception but once again I purchased this phone because of its size & features. I hope this info would help others in chosing their phones.

  • this phone is really a bargain...im sure u cant get any other 65K colour phone (and dual screened) at such a low price! its light and has got nice colours and its very good-looking indeed!

  • I really love samsung products. They make absolutely gorgeus TFT and CRT displays, nice cameras, cool mp3 players, etc. But it appears that they have missed one class. Designing a phone that is. How can u come up with such an ugly startac looking phone! Damn it guys...i had some faith in u! Start making some nice-looking phones. PLEEAASE!

  • This is the best telephone ever made

  • ETrsx... Don't worry, you don't want a crappy digital camera in a phone... remember the roots! This is one hellava phone!

  • i just bought a s300 on ebay and paid 360 us dollar...i had a choice on the v205..i hope i got the good one.

  • It DOESN'T have vocal functions....vocal command, voice dial and memo!! I have bought it thinking it had them and no way....

  • I just bought this phone. :) Sweet bejesus it is small!

  • Now we've got it in thailand price around 370 - 390 us$... Model are great also the feature. Could be cheaper in malysia or singapore...

  • Please send me that Phone price?

  • To: Dieterke U can delete pictures u have added in the downloads menu under Amusement, WAP browser, downloads ... Googluck

  • great phone. I've bought it for �599 (euro's). I know, it's a lot.... Very good, instead of my ericsson T65 phone. But, I have one question, how do you delete a picture that you have added? greetzz

  • is a fantastic phone but just can u tell me how do load java games whit out the wap can i do that whit the infred ?

  • excellent!!!!!!

  • Oh,it's crazy ,very good, i want to know the prize of this phone,i hope it doesn't more than $500

  • i think this handphone is the best phone style that samsung has made,do you agree with me?

  • it is a good one. best of its kind

  • this is a brilliant fone. it has every damn function u can hope for. how much is this baby?? doesnt look better than the t100 but its a super compromise....this is my second choice 2 the NOKIA 8910i......wut a beauty that is!!

  • good very good

  • oh..it good!!! i like this phone, This is a perfect phone. Some 1 tell me the price this phone? , plz..plz..plz.

  • Are you people totally nuts. Why all this aggressive, posturing BS over these wretched mobile phones? 'Cos that's all they are...MOBILE PHONES!!!! I cannot believe some of these texts....! Shame on you...

  • when it come out in australia and how much plz plz plz some 1 tell me!!!!!!!

  • can somebody give me authoritative and accurate information as to which other samsung model of mobile-phones have compatible or same travel/house battery charger as the samsung s-100 model.

  • The S100's price better come down. I'm sure that t-mobile will do the $50 with activation that verison does with the motorola v720. ....off to check out threegmobile.com.....

  • Hahahah you're the one that's funny :-p you're good for a provocator you know that ?.. well i don't think i want to chat with you anymore Val... it'll just make this forum full with no benefit at all :-p well, cya Val... i'm not going to respond any of your reply anymore, sorry :-) oh btw... if you're a gay yourself, don't say that everyone else is a gay like you... coz i'm sure noone wants to suck your d**k :-p OOOkkkayyy now... who got the price of this phone ???? can someone tell me please ?

  • To Valy : Sorry to dissapoint you val, but i'm not a gay :-p. and i'm not little... i'm a blackbelt Taekwondo, brownbelt Karate, and some Aikido knowledge... you can say anything you wanted to since i can't beat you up and you don't get to see me heheheh... To Innova : do you think S100 price will go down coz of this phone ?... then what if all other samsung phones comes out ? have you checked threegmobile ?... lots of new samsung GSM phones there...

  • Why did they have to come out with a S100 improvement so soon??? This thing is smaller and lighter with 2 color screens. My only doubt is that it has a lower resolution internal screen than the s100. What is this UFB screen? how does it compare to tft or stn?

  • Why Samsung cannot create somthing privately? Why samsung always copy a bit of sound from Nokia (Nokia compatible melodies), copy a bit of design from Motorola (flip phones)...? Why?? Samsung does not know to be shame?

  • Hahahah... say as you wanted to... just remember that we're all just a simple human beings with different interests. If you don't like this phone, suit yourself... just don't swear at people please ? you might get hurt someday :-) Well, i like this phone no matter what you said... i've experienced with some Samsung phones and won't take my opinion back :-)

  • Wow... This is one killer phone... sure.. not many features are in this phone but look at the size, design, and adequate features... surely i'll buy this phone (or SGH-S500 of course :-p). Can someone tell me what'll be the price when this phone comes out ?
