Sony Ericsson R300 Radio - User Reviews

  • I had this phone when it launched. It has one awesome speaker and MW radio station

  • if have this phone I wants 2 pics

  • This phone is really simple and fun to use device, phone gives good features with in its price range,the best feature is its MW/FM radio. i use this phone for listening to MW stations, only its head phones should be the original one, because it has chip in it which helps to receive MW stations. No other phone provides this MW feature today,, i am using this device from 2009 and it works great even today.

  • I have one but the cover for the battery is missing and there is some little holes because I droped it many times Lol I installed a new speaker because the latest I used for another phone

  • Is this still available?I want to buy one.

  • it's basic feature phone , what were you hoping for? I used the same period and changed for same reasons... but is cheap basic phone (I bought for $60 in 2011). You wouldn't expect much ! From my point of view pros: Still design good audio (for price) hardware radio channel keys (you can remember 3 channels, one channel per key (the ones with letters :"1","2" and "3" left to camera), without keys you can remember up to 20 channels) hardware loudspeaker key (as far as i remember) you can navigate in menu with digits . sample : games are at menu->3->2->3 (as far as i remember) light and compact cons : poor camera no video record only 8mb internal memory, no sd or m2 card support average battery (2-3 days of use if you play) Still I love him and if sony produced upgraded version, I would buy (I'm sick with android and touch phones... )

  • Sofar only 2 mobiles have come out with MW(AM) radio. Its speciality is this. The other one is also from Sony. MW performance is superb! How Sony has achieved this without bulky Ferrite rod antenna? I sincerely hope Sony will come out one with Short Wave radio also in future.

  • same as what the other user said this phone sucks but it is cute..

  • ??????????

  • this phone sucks with all meanings! I used it for 2 years! But i had enough from the low memory, poor camera, and the lack of video record! So many bad sides. I advice any holder of this phone to throw it away in the garbage were it belongs and buy another - better quality phone!

  • I am looking for the good radio phone, please give me suggestion, I don't need any other features. I just need the radio. Among these three which one is the best for radio: SE R300, SE R306 or Nokia 5030 Express Radio. I need your help guys! Thanks before

Hope it will work in R300. but I dnt give u a guarantee that every theme is going to work perfectly.

  • Battery and theme is the main problem in R300. It uses its power in standby mode. W200i or other ph dont use that. and not a single theme supported by R300.

I dont know why sony marketd a ph, which has a great look, nice reasulation, nice sound good radio options but with a lower quality of battery and Charging capacity. I dnt knw why?

  • very poor on sound..in handsfree its sound not loud...j121 have a better sound..r300 just pretty in design.....

  • this the worst phone i have ever seen. don't dare to buy this phone

  • The battery of the phone is very bad it will not charge after it had drained completly so you can not open the phone even if you put it on a charger . you have to take out the battery and put it on a universal charger to shock the battery and put it back on the phone . i have heard lot of complain about the battery issue .

  • why there is no card slot in it? can AM really works?

  • sometimes its f.m.works without attaching headset.oooooooooooooooooo......wait..wait..wait­,here is a question for you.could i increase its memory by doing some aaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm.....adjustments?

  • is working or not

  • i thought this was supposed to have a capacity of 1000 contacts, as it turns out, it can only store a maximum of 500 contact entries.

  • after you operate r300 radio, you'll have a doubt if this phone was really from sony erisson... maybe it came from sorry ericsson... i still have this t610. i'm more satisfied with it because i bought it second hand. while i bought a brand new r300.. i was very disappointed with the performance of this phone in general..

  • Does the radio work without the headset attached ?

  • Sony Ericsson R300- Radio has the capacity to store a total number of 450 SMS messages.

  • I have the Same Problem with the Battery I Sell this Phone W302 is More Better than R300

  • i also have the bettary problem. it has drained with in 12 hours

  • The phone was so bad with the battery that I had to throw it away.............. Not expected from Sony

  • Where is the USB port in the phone ??

  • I have the same problem with the battery. You're not alone. Whenever i go to the service center...they said they just have to shock the battery to revive it.

  • when my R300 is battery drained, i cant recharge it anymore, even for 24hrs continuous charging. I need to bring the battery to sony shop to revive the battery everytime. do some of you experienced this? what seems to be the problem? Help!

  • How can I make themes work in this phone? I tried downloading themes in zedge.com but whenever I install it, the phone says the file is corrupt. =(

  • im having problems with the battery right now, i dont know if its an issolated thing but DONT ever let it drain on you chances are it will not charge any more i dont know whats wrong with it but it always happen to my unit and offten times i go to the service center to have it fixed, i demanded for them to replace it but you know the thing about service and waranty they are seldomly true and bottom line the consumer is the one suffering.

  • How can i activate my GPRS supported by Globe Telecom. Im from Philippines.. Im looking forward for it so pls pls... tnx a lot!

  • At first u have to download themes from internet like from mobile9.com then U have to modify theme files by urself to make it work in this creepy phone. Steps r : 1. Transfer 1 of the builtin theme to ur pc via bluetooth. 2. Open it via microsoft word application. There u find it that these builtin themes r created by se theme creator version 4.6 or something like that. 3. Now open the theme that u have downloaded by msword. Here u will findout that they r created by different version of se theme creator like version 4.0, now u have to modify it by replacing 4.0 to 4.6 or the version u have find in builtin theme. These tricks r entirely discovered by me. Hope this work for u.

  • This is the worst SE phone i ever used. Why? 1.Within 1month it's price dropped about 27$.It cost me 85$, now it is 58$ 2.I have used it for 1month and it hanged for about 40 times and every time i have to remove the battery. 3.It has only 1.5MB for java. 4.It has worst call voice quality compared to any phone. 5.For these reason i have sold it only after using it for 1month @ 51$. So do not dare to buy it. If u buy it u will sure regret afterwards. Or u can buy it as because u r the master of ur life, but then do not blame ur fate as because i forewarn u. Bye.

  • how to install java games in my R300 please send me by email my email address is [email protected] thanks.

  • I have also same problem with Themes...

  • 1 Nice look. 2. Nice loud speaker sound. 3. good MP3 Ringer sound quality, 4. Earspeaker sound for talk to phone call. 5. Display is not bad. 6. Great price for function. Have to improve earspeaker cause this is a mobile phone and its main job as a phone.

  • well, its good but has poor back light and its memory is low so not that cool

  • M/S Sony-Ericsson has to put-in some memory in R300 (in next upgraded model). Even in form of a memory-card, even increase the current 8MB of memory to 50MB at-least. Thanks & best regards! M - HASSAN � [email protected] � 00923212023611

  • If you need the model, choose R300, it's very stylish. I myself want to buy it in near time:). About email, you can download Java to support it. In my country, Indonesia, it is cheaper than W200. Hm, W200 also good, but, you know, it uses joystick. I guarantee you will get problem with SE joystick phones in less than a year, even in normal usage. Just some of SE joystick phones are good, and W200 is not one of them. Hope this helps you....

  • w2ooi the best

  • hi, there. i'm interested to buy this phone. does this have an email feature? it's in the specs, but a friend of mine who bought this phone says it doesn't support email. please help. i'm thinking of buying this or the W200i. i can only afford a low budget phone but must have an email feature/client. suggestions would be appreciated. thnks!

  • im planning to buy this phone but im concerned about the memory.. how many msgs in the inbox and outbox can it store with 8mb?????

  • am is so excellent!

  • hiiiii friends sony ericsson R 300 is a good mobile. its sound of radio is excellant. what about the AM please reply

  • What about AM reception quality? Is it good always? I have seen one user mentioned that it is bad.

  • In India, whether it will tune all AM channels. For example, if I am in Bangaore wheteher it will tune other language AM channels i.e Hindi / Telugu / Tamil etc.

  • Now after using about 15days it gives me lots of problems. I have to reset it for two times still it hang sometime. As when using opera mini or even when a call come. It is slow, hangs-have to remove battery to make it work again. I do not recomand it to anyone.

  • zedge.com mobile9

  • Anyone know how to install uncorrupted themes for this phone? please post the site.. thanks

  • how did u? i uploaded 5 themes for this phone but all are corrupt :(

  • if you want a good quality phone with a radio that is light, stylish and easy to use `out of the box` then this is the phone for you. it beats all other phones at any price level.those complaining about the radio needing the headphones attached should remember fm always needs a long ariel for good reception,that is why the headphone lead is 2,5 feet. i have a sony worldband am radio which cost 200 pounds 4 years ago.this technology is included in the phone for free! on the topic of mp3`s,most radio fans dont want to listen to mp3s on their pnone anyway because they already have an mp3 player. this phone is a real bargain,and beats hands down all nokias.i also have a blackberry for email but prefer the sony

  • At last i find a way to install new theme in this set. I have successfully uploaded 4 themes, isn't that great!

  • Continued... Cones: 2. Slow processor, while writing sms latter appears slowly after pressing keys. 3. Themes give me headache, every theme that i downloaded show theme corrupt message. 4. It has built in four themes i accidently deleated two of them 5. Java has limited memory of two mb out of total eight mb. 6. Small buttons hard to press 7. Joystick is a total waste, hard to press easy to press wrong key 8. AM radio reception is very bad. Bye

  • I have bought this phone 2 days back. Now i will give u a complete review. pros: 1. Nice design 2. Small and light 3. Nice screen 4. Really good sound through speakers and headphone 5. I have successfully load opera mini and gmail on it 6. Good games from se website 7. Mp3 tone sounds really nice and loud 8. Animated wallpaper can be used 9. Good t9 function 10. Radio shortcut is really handy. Cones: 1. GSM Arena gave me wrong information about email facilities of this phone, it do not have email function

  • is there a solution for theme corrupt? everytime i set my new downloaded theme it is always courrupt help pls....

  • Could it listened to radio without plug the headset? Please help me...!

  • se r300 is so cool. except that i had recently, just recently learned the foul reality of no expandable memory!!!!!!! i mean seriously.......... the mp3 features are toooooooo cool but no memory to store mp3s to enable you ti use the awesome mp3 features...

  • Hi, A few months back, I bought this phone. It was working fine. Though I felt the audio quality of the headset on the fone(I am not talking about the earfones,earfone quality is excellent)is not very good, I continued to use it. 8 MB is a disadvantage for a mobile with so many features. Recently it fell down, and afterwards this fone is not functioning properly. If some call comes, it automatically re-boots, resets the internal electronics, such that I am not able to see which call has come. This is a serious drawback. And I think Sony Ericsson should certainly take care about such serious issues. I didnot expect such a fierce behaviour of the fone if it falls down once.

  • Hey guys! I'm planning to buy this phone because it has AM radio. Can anyone tell me if the reception is good? Like if your inside a building or a mall, is the reception as good as when you're outside in the open? Can it pick-up all the signals that are in the area just like when you actually turn on your radio? Thanks guys. More power.

  • I just got this R300 yesterday, its a slim and nice unit since i only use for calling & receiving calls. I hope this will work well, Since my W960I still with the service center which i have a problem on d screen.

  • I purchased the handset and it works really good thus far no problems it really a wise investment....shop at Bmobile at B.L.P Brian Lara Promenade.Remember BMOBILE THE NUMBER ONE MOBILE NET WORK.... BY J.I

  • I got it for free for the 350 line offered by Sun. But the deal runs for 30 months, but I paid 700 so that the deal would only run for 24-months, like the other promo lines that they offer. The deal is good, in most way. I'm just having problems in receiving themes, most of the times, it says 'theme corrupted,' I just don't know what to do. But over all, it was a good deal to have a good phone offering AM//FM Frequency

  • Good design. But without external memory is out of date. Maybe because it is a radio phone so there is no ext. memry. Strictly for radio lover only. Too bad.

  • yeah tia u have to attach the headset 4 the radio........ if didn'y buyed it yet ....dan go 4 another one... Aditya

  • is there any b520 model in samsung or not. if it is there then why u r not showing in our arena.

  • go to zedge.net to downlaod themes

  • pros: nice slim phone, nice screen, am/fm radio is cool although there is no built in antenna for the radio. Bluetooth is a good addition. cons: it has a trackid for an 8mb of memory? where is the logic? USB connector will be dificult to find in stores. and if ever you find one it might be expensive. no external memory slot.

  • hi those 1 2 3 are to preset you favorite radio channels

  • around P5,000.00 on the average. But I have bought one unit for just P4,900.00, and that is even through straight payment by credit card. I recommend all computer and mobile phone shops at SM, particularly in Megamall, North EDSA or MOA for the availability of the models.

  • i was comparing r300 and myPhone b22 c0z it was b0th included at the ch0ices for the plan350(at that such low price only) that i was planning to get from sun cellular,.then i found MYPHONE B22 better than this r300 from s0ny ericson,... Network: Triband GSM 900/1800/1900 Camera: VGA (0.3 Megapixels) Display: 176 x 220 pixels, 2.0", 64K colors TFT Connectivity: Bluetooth 1.2 with A2DP, USB Memory: 1000 entries Phonebook Memory Expansion: Micro SD/T-flash memory card slot up to 1 GB Device control: Alphanumeric keypad Messaging: SMS, EMS, MMS, E-mail GPRS: Class 12, WAP 2.0 browser Sound: stereo speaker Multimedia: MP3 / MP4 player / Video Recorder / FM Radio Battery: 1000 mAh Dimensions: 110 x 46 x 16.6 mm Weight: 92 g Standby time: 150 - 200 hours Talk time: 120 mins. better try this guys rather than SE R300

  • Sony with its Sony Walkman NWD-B100F and NWZ-B130F series have the funcionality of recording radio... and obviously that devices are MP3 Players and have more than 1GB... so... we can't say that Sony respect the copyrighted radiodifusion.

  • gr8 sound quality.but no extendable mem.

  • around php4,500 to php5,000

  • Sir I have purchase this phone recentlly. Can u tell me what are the various features of tis phone?

  • The main reason for someone buying this phone would have to be because of the radio (other than the obvious phone function!). The reason why there isn't a card slot, I think is that because they don't want people to record radio programs (plays and such) else it doesn't make sense why it is not included.

  • i like this phon

  • hey guys can u tell me how is the resulation of the phone r300

  • hello friends. R300 Rocks but only one bad thing in this that its speed.. hhmmm.... not gud its working like motorola's old phones slow..

  • only one soulation .i think if you dont use the mobile the charge is always full ok

  • Crappy signal from the staions. Gigantic headset clip. The phone cannot be put to sync with your computer.

  • This phone is very good, attractive & cheaper.

  • yup thats 1 of my questions too themes are available from zedge but i cant use it on my r300 anybody can you help me?

  • I just bought the phone and already facing a problem.If anyone has faced the same problem please let me know... If you switch the phone off and give to charge, can you switch it back on? I can't do it without taking out the battery. And does the screen show any changes while the phone charges, in off mode? A red light glows on my keypad...does this indicate charging? Please let me know if you also have these problems, so that I can change the handset under warranty. Hoping to hear from you soon.

  • Hi Guys, My name is Jagjit Singh I am using this phone. This is very good phone for young people. Very good sound,smart looking & cheapest as well. one disadvantage is that its memory only 8mb. I think this will pitch to every buyer but mobile is good,loud & smart looking.

  • it is not too loud in headset but is quite clear on 28october it costed me rs.3600

  • Hi this is Ramesh Chandra want to know the speciality of R300. I have read it the all comments of the users, mostly users have lots of querries about this like it is good, just for FM Radio. I was very keen to buy R300 but now I am just little bit confuse. Please try to remove my confusion....???

  • sir, i have purchased sony erricssion mobile model R 300 recently. can i expand memory separately? pl .confirm. my e-mail id [email protected]. thanx, kndutta

  • its battery backup is just 2-3 hours,if use full. but company asked 9 hours. so please give me some solution.

  • well as i see to the phone have a nice shape and good color i love sony ericsson regarding with there camera because its clear. and what is the price of r300 here in philippines money?

  • the phone is good features but the internal memory is low, and we cannot down load more game and mp3 music.

  • the main feature of this phone is radio,loud & claer sound....but it also a lilttle clarity in terms of camera.buyers must consider first what features or specs they needed most so as not to complain da..da...da.da.we had individual differences,that means what is positive is also negative to others.so y not mind your own,go for what u think is good for you...if u appreciate the specs of the phone go for it coz that thing is the thing that u might needed most in terms of features or specs. S.E....well done.....nice job

  • after 1 week the keypads froze.. the interface freezes as well took it back and according to them it was a software issue as usual but it wasnt good for a replacement since its been more than a week. Its now with SOny for 3 weeks now, and still nada. Dont know when i'll ever get my handset again :( On the brighter side, it has an excellent inetrface response when functioning properly and its so easy to text! no lags until you really a pretty long msg haha!

  • does this phone have video recording???? and what about its picture quality.

  • I have just got this and am taking it back. It has a tiny 8MB built in with no ability to expand. Fine if you ONLY want it for the radio, but it will only hold 2 or 3 MP3 tracks if you're lucky. A real shame 'cos I like the handset.

  • my R300 shows corrupt file..its not able to set theme?? what can be the possible error? i have downloaded themes from zedge.net

  • Has this telephone a screensaver so you can view the time in big numbers in the display like the nokia 1100?

  • Ringtone clarity is excellent. Must have memory slot. Signal received by the mobile is very low.Hence volume is low.

  • Plz Give me Ans Why i Purchase R300

  • u can download themes for R300 and R306 from zedge.net

  • must be expandable memory

  • There must be more memory than 8mb it must be upto 200mb or Must be provided with memory slot

  • I have purchased and used this phone it is very good for the people who want it for listining radio FM + AM and the Sound Quality is also very good and u can also use other function like bluetooth and handsfree which are wireless with this phone so according to me i give 90% to this Phone

  • This is an advantage for me because I am always listening to the AM frequency. I wouldn't need to bring my pocket radio anymore to get an AM station. Never mind FM, everything else has that. Do you still need to have the headphones connected to listen to AM? Does it have an internal AM antenna?

  • I'd like to know if the AM radio is functioning... this is one feature that no other phone has yet thats why i plan to get this.

  • Can anybody plz tell me how is the headset of R300....i mean with the clearity......is it load n clear..... plz let me know the answer if ny1 has the phone......and also the cost of the phone.....

  • Recording format is .AMR and price is 3500 INR

  • good for a basic phone

  • anybody know about the recording format of radio program?The buit in memory seems too low to record any program.

  • I don't have this phone but have another like it, you may be required to use head phones to hear the radio. Won't play over the speaker unless headphones are plugged into it. I want his phone but it not availible in the USA

  • is there any memory slot option with same feutures & same price with + or - 200/- Rs. and have u built any expandable memory in this same cell phone.

  • Do you think that 12mm is bulky? Have you seen it in real life? I think this phone is very simple, slim and compact.. Just easy and simple for daily uses..

  • hi can anyone help me regarding themes can we change the themes i mean not the default themes? and another thing can we change the default shortcut of calls & contact in left and right menu

  • hi as you said u will be having this phone in 2days so i think now i might have this phone so can you tell me abt its features????? does this phone play mp3? how much memory does it support my mail id -: [email protected]

  • I dont like its look as much and its too bulky tooo.

  • hello ^^, i'll be having this phone in 2 days more or less so pls email the frequency to me. thanks^^

  • well i thinks the color displayed in this phone makes it ugly.. i actually see the black version of this phone and its cool. so slim, long battery life..

  • i think it's preety good for an everyday phone. you can hear news while commuting to update yourself. with its long battery life, you can hear music or news and still have battery left for calling and txting. I think its the 1st phone to have am (other than china phones) i currently own nokia 6300 and w850 and willing to buy this phone to replace my 6300 coz its kinda short on battery life..

  • Whats the Button at the back For? the 1, 2, 3? What color should i choose from? The Black or the Copper? whats much nicer

  • Sony Ericsson Mobile R300 is good handset.

  • Any one can inform @ the other models (Sony or others) that have the AM radio feature

  • please buy this R300i this phone will rocks

  • this a nice handset but lacks the availablty of memory card slot ,the phone could be better if it would have expandable memory

  • Sound Not Good

  • can someone tell me a good phone without a camera? should not be very expensive.

  • ya quality of cam is good like t250

  • Can anybody tell me if the camera for this phone is good? I mean, compared with other VGA phones, is it good? 'Cause I heard that SE T250 has a good camera eventhough it's also just a VGA camera so I wanted to know. Hope someone can answer this question for me. Thanks.

  • good that there is am radio with this model (r300) but wheres the memory slot??? with slot i think that completes this model

  • how many mp3 files can the r300 hold if there's no memory slot in it and with just 8mb of mem? try something like K610i or k550i or the k530.

  • Thank you guys, Thanx for answer me and I am going to buy a R300 today. I think Its cool enough to pass time with it....

  • r300i records radio in mp3 format with 64 kbps full 2 to 3 songs can be recorded and it also can be used as gprs modem to access the net on lap or pc + bluetooth go for it

  • AM broadcasting is the process of radio broadcasting using amplitude modulation.

  • ya it supports w200i themes

  • its sound is very loud and clear through speakers and headset u can also plug in walkman headphones if u have

  • good design and radio with big loudspeaker behind only con is memory card slot

  • There is no card slot.The main disadvantage of the phone.If there was MP3 player it would have been a rocking phone.

  • Manpro: Is radio quality good enough to play it loud ? How much db volume it produces !!

  • Is it support w200i themes?

  • Is AM means the normal Radio Frequency?

  • wht is the FM recording format of R300? and can I use it as a GPRS modem? If anyone konw those, pls answer. I wanna buy a R300 instead of using a W200i? Wht sholud I do?

  • All R300 owners pls help me to answer this question. If at stand-by mode and clock mode is set on: - Will BLACK digital clock shown on WHITE display background or WHITE digital clock shown on BLACK display background? TKS :)

  • I love Sony products,most of the phone I owned are SonyEricsson from,The one I have now is SE R300 Radio,I love this phone although its not so good in specs,the one I after is the portability,slim/pocket size/simplicity PROS:Slim,Long Batt.life,Good speakerphone nice keypad, my rate 9/10(Design) CONS: Dont spect too much for this phone Not good in Camera/8MB Memory/No Slot if you want Hi-End Phone u have to pay more and this phone is affordable $99+ Im tired of buying Hi-end phones so I sticked to this one its simple,slim,good4calls :-)Recommended.....8.5/10 overall Passed SE-phones I have(T68i,T610,K608,K610,K750i,W810i,P900,P990i)­­ Tested most of SE phones, SE is designs and battery life is better than NOKIA

  • its a cool phone, only lacking is absence of external memory slot

  • i love this phone ...its designe is superb and amazingly it has AM which a new thing and i realy love to buy this phone SE is master in making new annovations but if the built in memory is lil large it will be more attractive

  • I am from Mumbai. I am looking for 'Antique Copper' version of the phone. However, at all the places that I have been to, I could only find the 'Steel Black' version. Can any one tell me where I can get the 'Antique Copper' R300 in Mumbai and what is the minimum price it is available for. At RPG, it is available for 3529, but as someone has mentioned that in Bangalore (Devendra Telecom), it's available for 3100.

  • The price is 3100 in devendra telecom. Go get it !

  • Yes nadeem, it has both FM and AM, I had to wait for so many years for a phone with AM option..

  • Yes dude it's a Radio phone, that is it's feature.

  • Yes Sony Ericsson phones are stylish and classy. Style and class don't necessarily have anything to do with repetition. Nokia phones at the same price level and some of them even beyond this price level look like tacky, tasteless toys.

  • does it has FM and AM radio functio???can any 1 tell??

  • Stylish?? Sony Ericsson shape are all the same. Every new model you can find it same from the previous.

  • This is a very good model 4 'beginner's'. Screen is very much sharper than UBC screen models like eg; K300,W200. In fact, this model looks very stylish & it supports MP3. So user's could set a short-song as caller ringtone.

  • Man all you bozos saying the R300 has low memory probably don't even know how to use a computer. Who needs a stupid memory card and a silly cam on a phone when we have PCs/laptops and digital cams. This phone looks like a nifty FM radio+phone that looks the best in its class.

  • 8gb? can't you people read it?? it's 8-m-b.. 8mb people... worst + rubbish = SE

  • 1. Anyone who say that R300 have very low memory why did he not go for those sets those have memory card sloc. 2. A number of people does not want to listion music throu their phone and they use phone just for calls 3. On other hands some peoples wasnt to by a mobile just with camera and mp3 ring tones for those this phone is good. 4. you does not say that a phone is bad because I does not have a function which you want, Yes you can say it bad if it have a feature but it does not work perperly, slow sound and any manufacturing falt. 5. So choose your best mobile and do not falt out other mobiles because many people like that phone on whom you are pointing.

  • As per my thing its a useless phone on this price no one can buy that phone.

  • wat a rubbish phone on that price why i dnt buy w200i. se is not improved yet

  • Hey guys does R300 has the remote control application???? the which is found on Kseries ans Wseries... Reply pls iam going buy this phone

  • Do u want to be a mad man think again........!! If you thinked yes then you can buy tis phone.ha ha haB-) same on you SE

  • This phone is not so good according to its prices in other companies you can get better options & more features than this like expendable memory slot & good camera insted of VGA camera for e.g. In nokia 3110c which is having 1.3 m.pixal Camera With vedio recording & 512 M.B memory Card with expendable memory slot. SE try to improve your self.

  • upgrade the camera and giv the phone a cardslot and the phone would be awsome

  • price Rs.4130

  • Hi SE's this phone is very andvance and very slik model this phone best and u given memory slot i like this phone and sound is very good and resonable pirze comparable nokia 2670 like this very good beter this model i like SE's and my famliy also like SE's very nice bye.

  • haha... it reasonable. most of SE's design are almost same. this phone too. hmm... we really can't enjoy the music. i luv this phone because it has a circular speaker. well... only that

  • I would have buyed it if it had memory card slot.. with 8mb internal memory u cannot enjoy music

  • Why are new SE phones look very alike? Take a look at W880i, W890i, W302, R300i. They all look very much alike. Does SE run out of candy bar design???

  • did sonyericsson disiner become mad.lunching the model which is so poor design,poor facility

  • This phone designed for sum1 who like to get entrtained by a radio. It's a cheap phone. No wonder if it's built w/ no much features. Just remember the number 3 from R300. It means a Radio phone for everyone w/ a bar design. U can consider this phone as Ur secondary phone. Keep it up SE!

  • did se designer,c.o,company person visit gsm arena,just a massage for him go home and sleep,dont lunching model like t280,r300,t250.w350,z555{no video record}.what a wonder ful innovations by se,foll-----l---l---l

  • why not for nokia 2600c high feture than r300

  • it seems like they had 8 gb walkmans lying around & added a antenna 2 it,well someone seems to have lost it

  • You should consider this as a good thing, as it fits all tastes, and there are ppl don't care that much about the cybershot or the autofocus features.

  • Shame on u Sony !!!!! Now bring the damn phone out !!!!!!!! And for next time don't open ur big mouth untill it's not ready to be out. Damn !!! No No... Double No No ... Tripple Damn on u !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • when this phone coming??? 2nd Q is over.. remember???

  • What a bad company it ... its toooooooo late... ter no memory ...wat is it ya...

  • s2pd f0ne..po0r features..y did SE release such a s2pd f0ne? dey shud f0cus on cybersh0t & walkman f0nes..

  • i love this phone ...its designe is superb and amazingly it has AM which a new thing and i realy love to buy this phone SE is master in making new annovations but if the built in memory is lil large it will be more attractive

  • looks very sexy....i like the model design and metalic colours.coming to radio the phone has fm & am. we can listen cricket comentry. in india in most of the cites have 10 to 12 radio stations v can listin new new songs. made for india. best for india. but only the thing is no memory slot. camera clarity is less..

  • It has only 8 mb internal memory and no card slot.. It's not enough for me.

  • You can record 1 full radio track and then bt transfer it to another phone. Thats cool isn't it?

  • Stop complaining. I have SE w610 so whatever I recorded over the radio using this phone, I can transfer it to my other phone using bluetooth.

  • radio=means cheap music on the go free radio and some peple stil use it i haven realy used raido on my phone sice 2 years ago but stil needs a memry card slot

  • just like i said for the other radio phone WHY did they bother installing a radio recorder when theres a pathetic 8 mb of memory?

  • Theres no card slot?? Thats mean no ext. memory. A bit lame. :(

  • Are you guys working for SE or something? Sure it looks great, but to call a VGA camera "state of the art" is a bit exaggerated, I should think!

  • State-Of-The-Art! Anyone knows technologically how SE can integrate AM radio into cellphone?

  • outstanding design

  • this is a great portable am/fm radio with phone. this should be called the Coleman phone. hope it's dust, shock, and water proof, though.

  • battery need more life standbytime up to 1000 hrs over alcatel OT-PRO

  • dis is good and it is made 4 specially who loves to listen radio on every place bcoz it has AM radio and FM with rds .but next edition of this phone will come soon i think bcoz it has low memory and low camera .SE ERICSSON cannot bear these comments about memory and camera.

  • 8mb not 8gb, can u not read ?

  • Wow it's amazing this phone has a 8Gb Internal Memory and the sound's of this phone is louder

  • As for as memory is concern compititers are musch strong.

  • SE rules and Go to Sony Ericsson!!! New generation for Sony Ericsson...

  • good phone and the design is pretty built-in and the radio of this phone is reall loud and good...well done for SE phones

  • Thanks for those frequencies....interesting....

  • BreakerBreaker19, that is a really good sh� you�ve been smoking.

  • This would be most appropriate for those who don't have much income to buy Hi-end phones. Also the AM function is very much neat though its main function is for the Radio. So don't be complaining about the memory and the camera because its not the main function of this phone.

  • I thought I'd better let everyone in to a secret I have discovered about this phone - please let me know if any of you have found the same - If you tune the radio in to a specific frequency on AM and press the 'record' button you are able to listen to NASA communications between ground control and their pilots/astronauts. I discovered this after finding some information on the NASA website about there communications with the Space Shuttles - I couldn't believe listening to ground control guiding a shuttle through Earth re-entry, it was truly amazing. This discovery was cool enough - but after reading an article in CB & HAM Radio monthly about radio freqency's and paranormal activity I tried an experiment they suggested by tuning the radio in to a certain frequency, recording it and then playing back the recording - the results were shocking. I'm sure some of you will have seen a film called white noise -depicting the true stroy of scientists who have recording of spirits/entities whatever you want to call them. I have done this on this phone, I don't scare very easily but this really has shaken me up - I was in the room on my own and the sounds that have been recorded have to be heard to be believed. Let me know if you would like the frequencies and I'll email them to you.

  • tomas: some radio stations don't have commercials, and even the ones that do don't have them for very long. Plus there is news, weather, traffic, etc and good music

  • This is a good phone... Retro feeling, Bluetooth, USB, VGA Cam, AM/FM RADIO with RDS and TrackID, mp3 ringtones.

  • Why would you need a FM radio on your phone? Somebody explain it to me� FM is heavy with commercials every few minutes they play long and boring advertisements. Most of the gyms are build with steel frame so radios do not work.

  • better as a radio than a cell phone ... s.e. should consantrate on making there same looking firmware to another level than making designs like this ... its being like 5 years or 6 years well i dont know but s.e. firmware and menus still look the same apart from the few overpriced symbian phones they have made ... i saw a comment by someone in gsm arena about a s.e. phone he have mentioned that s.e. have cheated him over and over again and that all the menus in almost all of his phones looks the same so he have been fedup and have moved to nokia symbian phones ... i think s.e. can do a better job than this ...

  • WOW SE!! U Finaly did it.. People normally wud abuse Nokia for making basic models, but now SE has also joined the rat race. This is a good example for people to understand that not every1 in this world is rich enough to buy a Nokia N 95 8 GB. Secondly, itz good that SE has radio as a feature on this phone, but I fail to understand the purpose of radio recorder. With only 8 mb space, what can u record. Also the best part of it is the MP# player. So funny, the MP3 player wud b jus good enouugh to hold 2 of my fav songs & then an error wud come up stating 'No space for new messages' Pls delete something useful inorder for something new to come in. lol!! Anyways, on a positive note, Good Job SE. Have a nice weekend ahead. Cheers!!

  • The mp3 player is useless - only 8 MB and no card slot - i should listen a song, then delete to listen the next one.:) I would prefer card slot before vga camera - she is a joke.

  • waste of space

  • I hope this phone has advanced RDS features like on the P1i/W960 like PTY and TA. Normally SE phones only have the basic PS and AF. The phone itself looks really nice.

  • very good mobile excellent

  • Dani u seen of this phone? looks almost exactly like the W890! and it looks SWEET!!

  • Finally a cellular phone that combines AM Radio! Yeah it does not the latest doodads such as MP3 player and multi-megapixel camera. But I am an avid AM listener and this is my phone. This phone would be great whenever there are strong typhoons visit our areas and no other source of information but AM stations. Also, this might be a good phone for emergency personnel. 8-)

  • this phone will be a great seller it has the looks and the price should not be too high, some people feel the SE must only make highend phones so what about people with a budget that cant afford expensive phones

  • Wow This is very nice! Ist celfone w/AM band. I'll gonna buy it. I love news....

  • I like it. :) + Great battery, nice design, radio, great speaker, modern software, 1000 contacts, bluetooth, without all other things that I don't use, and because of that price will not be too high. This is phone for me. :)

  • let us see the performance..market it as soon in TN

  • Wow! FM/AM radio :-D thats good for the masses because not all people are rich. I think this will be a succes for SE

  • hey guys why you are saying all that stuff about SE believe it or not there is some people who don't care for the music in their phone and like to listen to it in the mp3 players there is some people who only cre about the looks and the radio and a small camera for some pics and this phone is for them... go on SE!

  • the Truth is SE has gone mad !

  • no cardslot owfull

  • loooks goooooodd

  • This is an BUDGET or ENTRY-level phone. People on GSMArena make the most insipid comments... Probably need expensive phones to compensate for a lack of intelligence.

  • lol my phone has the word "radio" in the front eewwwwwwwwww

  • Hi Guys, the type is "Radio" not MP3.

  • You can store like 1 song on this phone lol

  • People this phone is intended to the emerging markets like south america, asia and africa.

  • the R series in sony ericsson is a new series and it launches low functionality phones.

  • Low specs and ugly cell phone. SE is going down without any high-end phone.

  • SE have joined the crowd- they are all afraid of lg and their designs (just kidding). But this phone is a copy of d viewtys back- however it looks good though, d features let it down.

  • where the hell r u headin 2 se????bring out sumthing to beat nseries!!!!!!!!!

  • ar????? so simple??? back to the past?? "R" stands for "Reckless"..

  • Nyah, mp3 player with a few mb of memory? Sheesh. If SE people want to make me laugh, well they have just succeeded. *lolz*

  • Features are too old. Like from 5 years ago. Looks are nice, though. With this phone, it's time to go back to the bat cave.

  • wtf!!... no memory card slot ...watz rong wid SE ??

  • Uhhhhmmmmm????? This is a?????

  • AM Radio? wow... that's new...

  • is this some sort of sick joke ?

  • mp3 player for what? with an inadequate 8mb here?

  • what the HELL is this?!?!? SE what's going on?

  • SE ????
