Sony Ericsson W300 - User Reviews

  • Got it for my 17th birthday in 2006. I thought it was the coolest, built-in mp3, piece of high technology I had ever laid my hands on!

  • It's a really good feature phone. If you need a GSM phone, I would surely recommend you to buy it. I've tried this phone last month for a week and it was really intuitive. I wonder where can I buy it ?

  • This phone when it came out was the coolest phone ever , I loved it ( especially that back screen ). In my opinion this is one of the best flip phones ever. No complaints from me.

  • Me too

  • i need this phone, please tell me how i get this this phone

  • Great phone! I have been using it since 2006 and it still works!

  • I loved this phone, I think they should make a few and make a come back I'd def buy back one

  • I loved this phone, I think they should make a few and make a come back I'd def buy back one

  • Is this w300 had a2dp ?? And is the megabass effect of this same of w700 ??

  • The Phone is Super Strong and Pocket Friendly, and Smells good to. I hope they make a smart version with the same shape and body.

  • Amazing experience with W series i had w 300i & w700i. till date i didn't find replacement of these...

  • So I love this phone ,was my first telephone ,now I want but were can t buy from Romania?

  • you cannot ... Only option is to put M2 card or transfer via bluetooth .

  • Hello, I used to have this phone a long time ago, but replaced it with a new "smart" phone. Now, fast forward 12 years - I want to see if I can extract a few photo's that I remembered I had on my old sonyericsson w-300 phone. My question is, if I put in a mini SD card into the SD slot, do you think I would be able to exact (save) the photo's that is already in the phone? Thank you

  • I bought it in 2007. It is working fine even today. This is the best phone for music for me even today though i have Nexus 5

  • thats a really good phone ive been using it over 9 years now i have another phone but w300 is still working fine like first time...

  • I have a black variant of this one.. i bought it on late 2007 .... now i have a note 4, and a S5 .... but still whenever i want to relax i will hear songs in this little phone... very soothing..... I also hav a sony ericsson w995 one which i bought after this ... i luv both of them.... sony ericsson is the best.... Yu will always be my cute little 1st phone w300i

  • Really Awesome and still i have my one ....its really little cute phone forever

  • I got this phone second hand and nothing I have found since comes close to the quality, this a brilliant little phone, the UI is easy to use, the sound quality is amazing and it's a lot tougher than it looks. my one sadly died as the cable that connects the screen to the rest of the phone wore away from 8 years of constant use and I can't find a replacement, so that's something to keep an eye on. also, if you have more than 99 songs on the phone the Walkman will sometimes glitch, making the phone freeze, which is an annoying inconvenience, other than that I have nothing but good things to say.

  • Had mine for 10 years on same battery does everything I need brilliant little phone

  • Still using one from 2006 and going strong. Very good phone.

  • This phone is amazing... I have 2 fine working yet..

  • Yup Its Really Awesome Mobile Phone. I Also Have It.

  • I didnt know that this phone can stream utube videos kip it up sony

  • hi i brought this phone in 2006 n till i have it in working condition not a single time i have done work on this phone only battery change .the walkman is bestest ever earphone mindblowing hpm70 keep it up now sony

  • This was a really cute phone!

  • I miss this phone

  • 3.5mm headphone jack is present on the remote control/mic.

  • I definitely agree with you, ths music quality was really good, I missed this phone

  • Right !!!!

  • I'm still using my cell phone, I've been using it for 6 years and it works perfectly

  • This was my very first mobile phone , I won it from a mars bar wrapper about 5 yrs ago , its still working and I loved it , I have now handed it down to my son..

  • @siva cuz its the best and cutest n small phone of all time!

  • Good Phone, I used it for 4 years with Zero repairs.

  • Hi all its my first ever phone! and i'm still using it :D :D :D..!!

  • So Sweet to see lot of people like me !!!!!!!!!

  • I so luvd my dis phone, it ws d 1st cell i bought....miss u sooo much w300i :-(:'(

  • Good 4n

  • ipurchased this phone arond 5 years ago and found its walkman quality the best of its kind .ifeel sometimes sad for selling it despite any problem in it,i have listened carefully the music of nokia,samsung,and even of apple ipod,and found it undisputed.ifeel sorry for sony ericsson that it has stopped producing earlier walkman series music,which i find missing now.

  • ya. my w300 still alive from 2006 till now. if possible, i wish to make it as my heritage. haha

  • i miss this phone it was with me from 2006-2010 i feel bad for selling it.

  • amazing one ! as i have it since 2006 July, until right now still working very good, it was (and still) the best in class at sound quality and its headset ! i hope from Sony Ericsson to do the same. Walkman is the best music program ever ! thank you Sony Ericsson !!!

  • nahhhh!!!!! its not durable ... the flex just went wrong and its only less than a years since bought ..... so lame

  • Good phone... VERY reliable. Since 2007 (just had to get a new battery in 2012). Good speakers, small & compact to fit in jeans. Don't hope too much for the camera but gets the job done. Good work SonyE !

  • Going on 5 years now and I have no desire to change. I bought this phone with only two requirements 1) good reception and 2) durability. The phone has exceeded in both categories. The past week gave me a bit of a scare as the phone would shut off just after booting. But thankfully, after a five dollar investment in a new battery, things are good as ever.

  • w300i ! what d lots of efforts i had taken to buy this phone.really nice phone.except camera,screen size,and quite battery backup.but its superb sound,instant connectivity overlaps it completely.again u can configure dial up edge standards,which u cant do it in any other vendors phone except sony.sony brand means quality with guarantee.happy to say sony is my family brand

  • one of the master piece from sony Ericsson, i am using the phone for the last 5 years till now no problem(i changed the strip once), the sound quality is unbeatable. sony rocks.

  • This is a great phone, one of the first one purchased from Sony and after the experience with this, everyone at home as well as in-laws have one or the other Sony Handsets. About W300i, purchased it in Feb-2007 for 8450/- and today proud to say it is working just as great as it did on day one of purchase. Had a problem with the display in 2009, spent 300 to repair it and some 500/- for the battery in 2011 though. Working as it did even after the repair and battery change. Overall, This phone is still going great guns. Thank you SONY for this great experience.

  • Awesome phone... I m using it for 5 years now... No doubt the Walkman part of it works perfect till today no need to take I pods....... Only problem is HANDLE with CARE... And indeed Sony Ericsson rocks

  • one of the best phones i ever had! great reception, great sound quality, long life battery, it works ok with a 4gb card...only the camera takes poor pictures and the screen is litle bit small. overall a great great phone!

  • Got it fixed 5th time with strip problem! works fine like new!! i love walkman series..!!

  • i use this phone from past 4 year. now i think to move on xperia mini pro. good thing about this phone is 1) very good sound quality like setting in theater 2) internet is good in 2G categoriz 3) easy to carry bad thing about this phone 1) large size web page can not load 2) msg save only up to 125 3) screen size 4) earphone & charger plug not good.

  • I was nt d 1 dat flashed it i took it to d market 4 flashing

  • Hey Mike.... can you please tell me how to flash this phone.. and I have not done this before so a step by step process would be helpful.... Thanks !!!

  • It's 1 of d best phone ve ever used i dnt use fone 4 3months but its case was quite diff. d battery is superb it can last up 2 5days of normal usage,very rugged,ve been usin 4 more dan a year nd ve never have a flex prob.

  • this phone is the best 2G of its generation;it supports skype..just google:"4shared skype jar"

  • no problems. bluetooth 1.0 can work with 2.0 and 2.1

  • URGENT Please help me find a Sony Ericsson W300 in good condition Many Thanks, Tumi

  • this phone is good in terms of features but min lasted exactly 4 years before the strip went bad so now I have no display and the phone is useless to me. I now have to search for a new phone.

  • i am using this phone for past 4years its performance is very excelent upto its features...

  • superb////////////////////

  • ive been using this phone for the past 4 years and i must say its a superb phone. i love sony ericsson

  • Good phone .But the resolution of the camera inside the device is horrible, but if the image transfer to PC is much better.

  • I am using this model for the past 3 years it has perfect sound experience when we use the earphone but it still has a lower resolution camera and screen size and also uses up much of the battery when we use external speaker but its really good and compact to handle

  • its super wen it comes to funtionality though it have small screen.am in love with sony ericsson

  • Good Quality sound but does not support WAVE formaat of sound, i have many ringtones in wave format and it does not play the tune, but camera is horrible. I am not able to configure email but with gprs i am able to login in sites like yahoo,gmail but not able to configure dedicated emails

  • lower resolution screen, strip problem 4th time, and color pealing off and the camera are major faults in this gr8 phone... however...... i am still using it since the last 3 years!!!!!!! because i love sony walkman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Using a 4 gig M2 card, works fine. Just uses more battery power. Battery needs charging after 6 days instead of 8, no big deal. Great sound, call someone when using the earphones it sounds like they're sitting beside you!

  • it is a very good phone i use this phone 2 years ago and it work very well and the battery is very good and sound is excellant

  • hi, its good phone,plz send me on [email protected] , that how to update latest camera drivers?

  • i hav this phone for the past 1 year and it works perfetly. what i like about this phone is that it work with 3d game

  • this is agood and beautiful phone

  • I am using this phone for the last 4 years. Main Drawback is the VGA camera... However we can forget abt that with it's sound clarity. Itz really a nice phone suitable for rough use. The problem that I faced was with the wire Strip connecting it's filp. I have replaced it 3 times. however my total talktime is more than 2000 hrs .. and I really love this phone. it goes.. on.. and on ..and on...

  • Buy this mobile phone in year 2006 ( 4 years ago) until now work perfectly... unlike other latest mobile phones, this mobile really long lasting

  • I purchased this phone way back in January 2007 and till date it is working perfectly! Accepted that the microphone has not been that sensitive and I need to shout over the phone, otherwise the other end will not be able to hear me clearly. Walkman is one of the best feature of the phone and I use the EDGE to connect to the internet when on a move, the speed is tremendous...a few more statistics: Clam Flip count: 55000! Call duration: Incoming Calls: 211 hours, 42 minutes and 10 seconds Outgoing Calls: 1200+ hours! Data Usage Duration: 2885h, 53 m, 07 S Beat this!

  • I purchased my w300i 3 years ago and I am still using it presently. The Walkman feature is definitely the best feature of this phone. The sound quality is crystal clear and I think it is one of the very few phones with such superb sound quality for its time. The Mega Bass setting on the Walkman feature is phenomenal, especially when you listening to music via the ear phones. The only down faults with the phone is it's small screen and terrible camera quality. I've seen many older phones that take much clearer pictures than the W300i. However, besides the poor camera quality, I think it's an awesome, stylish flip phone.

  • Flip Count: over 45000 - can anyone beat that? I really think think is one of the greatest phones ever produced...

  • It looks very bulky n flip on tats wat i like most about these mobile,usually guyz love tis kind of bulky staff....

  • Hey is the screen size really 1.66 inches? i thing its 1.8 inches like z530 screen.

  • my phone gets older but i'm happy with it I still have the factory software, but just downloaded new applications; even the famous opera mini and my w300 gets back to life. I reached its software limits but I still satisfied... thanks sony ericsson.

  • I paid £159 for the Robbie Williams edition of this phone a few years back, and I must say that it is a nice phone. Voice/music quality is the best I've heard because of Sony's Walkman! Battery is one of the main things of this phone too. You can leave the phone unattended for about 3 days before the battery runs out. The big Cons however are: very small screen size, you cannot add any apps (but you can add small wallpapers and add your own MP3's to use as a ringtone); Low quality VGA Camera creates the worst pictures ever -very grainy/blurred pictures which lacks clarity and colour; display and buttons too small and cramped; needs Sony special M2 memory cards. Would I buy this phone? No not at that price again! However, I now want an Android phone, but not at Iphone hiked prices!

  • Ive been using this phone for almost 4 years now, actually my sister sent me 2 units of w300i, until now i haven't used the second 1 coz the 1st one is still working great, amazing battery life, and the sound is so crisp even without the use of a headset.

  • if the bluetooth connect to bluetooth 2.0 and 2,1 version no problem??

  • i am using this phone four the past 2 years and i am satisfied with it.

  • okay listen MR. M and miss nisa, you guys just dont understand how this phone is coolest now let me explain, this is my first phone and i love it, it has gr8 sound Quality + great battery life and keypad rules!!! everything in this phone is just perfect! accept for camera and resolution of main display, but overall ... good phone to have.....

  • I had this unit from my sister in the US. I could say it's a good phone, however, when I tried to send a business card to a friend, there is no feature in the menu... :( Please advise how I could install the said feature. Many thanks, Judy

  • vry poor camera..sound quality is also nt dat gud...

  • dis ph iz nt gud, poor cmera, poor batery, hey cn we increase its msg storing capacity..?? it is very less...plz help

  • only good feature in this mobile is Keypad and battery ................... i have use this phone for past 3 years . . . it is good . . . but leather over the micro phone comes out in many of this models i have seen ..... its a big problem.....and there are many disadv...but overall has all features and good for the packet if u can get in second hand.....

  • good phone, increible reception like a static phone,but buggy keyboard The battery on this phone last longer than any other phone....you expect to charge it on 10 days on full use...that's amazing Menus are fast....never hangs and you can personalize the phone with tons of patches and programs that you can find on the web I recommend install new acoustics and a new cam driver

  • well, i've put a 4 gig card and guess what? it worked! so try it at the store before buyin the card but it worked for me...

  • got the 300i,2007....got stolen,jan.2008...got the 300i,last one in vancouver 100bucks all new and nice...my kids got that one now and yeah i got another 300i...my mom had one she thought was broke!...i cleaned the terminals now i have another 300i...man i wish they just keep makin it!best fone ever...peace out e

  • its a relly good mobile the only thin is the screen whent white and i had to get it fixed

  • it`s the best phone i ever had :D I have it since 2006, and it haven´t broke it still works very Good :)

  • it a beautiful phone, with superb sound quality, it my first camera phone, the only thing is spares are not available, because i faced white display problem for few days

  • if this happens you must use Sony Ericsson Update Service on your computer to reinstall the software and fix the problem.

  • where is the review of this great phone gsm arena!!!???

  • its my FIRST phone, i have this phone from 4 years and still no problem, i am satisfied + happy 100%!!! , once i got a little problem with the LCD (it just got white) but after repairing the phone its back to normal, only one thing disappoints me that the WARRANTY SEAL is broken + the GRAY paint of the phone is getting off now, i have this in BLACK colour , so i am 100% happy + its a part of my body now...

  • beautifull phone

  • well that was a great idea

  • was transferring files from phone to pc after completing. i shut off connection and disconnected phone.. phone now reads configuration error.. restarted phone several times and msg remains same..

  • I'm very like dis phone. dis phone is simple. ^^

  • my handset is aprox. 4 yrs old and still working! The hinges are "tired",but they are doing their job. The batery lasts 3-4 days. It is a very good mobile,too bad is not in production. I allso have a z530 that I am very pleased of and is practicaly the same phone.

  • I got dis w300i as a gift frm my bro....n am usin it fr the past 2 years. it ha becum a part of me, and am so proud to b its owner. the screen turns white rarely , but it gets ok immediately, thts nt a big prob. music n headset is too gud. key pad is so user frnly n stylish. i hav filled 1gb memory n still its fast. its a great fone fr its price. if u want a stylish n gud music fone...go get this. cam is average though, but serves the purpose. after usin it fr 2 yrs, i got the complaint frm the person at the other end, tht they r nt able to hear me properly, though am able to hear them. but in ear phones am audible. so..... get this imm.

  • Flip count, is the statistics of how many times you've opened and closed this phone's beetween each display :P

  • What flip-count??? I have this phone since Dec-2007(if i remember correctly), and I had no problem. Now I notice that the battery give me sickness signs. This means the battery do not resist 7 full days, but only 5-4 days.

  • This mobile phone is so light weight but ironically, so robust. Out of all the mobile phones that I've had over the years, this little fellow had to be my favourite. Simple content, Java enabled (so it could run bespoke software) and durable. Sadly like all phones, they are eventually discontinued so RIP w300.

  • nice phone, jused it for 4 years

  • my W300 had been with me since nov 2006 . its really great ! it still looks brand new ! the sad thing is it been thrown a LOT of time and i didn't took real good care of it , so the battery life doesn't last long since a few months ago , and the cable port is now loose . oh ! but its still attractive ! my friends just love it and they keep on flip it and because of that , my phone's screen gone white some time ago . but i still love it !! i can't find a phone like it now .

  • it was me....im really sorry

  • How its camera can be upgraded from 0.3 to 1.3mpx?

  • hai i am sakthi.i am using the mobil w300i.but there accuried a small problem.were i we insret the head set there is no device for informations.so i cant here music.so note the problem and give sugesstions to me.pls my id is [email protected]

  • somebody stole it just becuz u left the bag opened lol . and there was nothing else interesting in it that this crap phone (im just kidding). its a good phone lol .

  • Hey believe me or not this is the very same thing that happened to me...... i left it in my bag in school and after dat it waz nowhere 2 b found

  • i loved my fone... it was great and awsum. but this is what happend to it. one day i went to school and left it in my bag! That evening when i was looking for it it couldn't find it. so it was stolen out of my bag. now i want a new one exactly like the one i had but now i can't fing one. and i am actully sad about it. sony u rock!!!

  • I got this phone n used more than 2 yrs, until it was lost in the bus. Music experience is good.. Good phone to use. But screen size is little small...

  • Well folks, I just had to say........I have loved my W300i for 2 1/2 yrs and she has finally started to bite the dust. she's been thrown, dropped countless times, withstood harsh conditions and still kept on working. The screen is starting to tweak out on me and only the speakerphone is working now. I bought this phone for the music player and have been very satisfied with the sound quality. I am going to try the W760 A which has mostly good reviews. Parting with sorrow....... Patsy

  • It does have a video player, but can only play 3gp files. I had this phone for over 2 years, until I was dumb enough to spill water over it. It actually survived the water, simply the charger port corroded and I was unable to charge it anymore.

  • this is a very bad phone me because it has a bad camera and no video player. tell me if any video player in the market that has capabilities to play the video in fu

  • i've got this phone for a quite long time since 2007..and it's still running.. thank sony..

  • Gr8 fone.real fast,awsome sound quality,good display bt poor camera quality.it looks rocking bt d flap is not so hardy.after all it's a student like fone and I LOVE my W300i gr8ly.

  • i've had my w300i for 1.5 years and been very happy until recently when i started getting lots of "you are very hard to hear" comments. afaik i have everything as loud as it can be, but to no avail....i guess the mic on this unit is going.

  • this phone is fantastic. i got it in australia on vodafone network and now use it on vodafone nz. all the specs are great. awsome sound with and without headphones and carries alot. easy to navigate. and the camera is great too. have had it for 2.5yrs and is still going strong. i have a 2nd phone with telecom also but i won't ever give up my sony until it dies. LOVE MY SONY W300

  • khu khu khu...... i'm online with this fone.... it's easy..

  • I got mine 2 weeks ago.. this is a second hand unit because i can't find brand new of this unit anywhere but since i really liked the specs i opted for the 2nd hand.. no regrets, this is a great phone.. loved the sound quality of the speaker and the headset and the ease of using a walkman series.. themes and games are easy to download and it's looks great too.. well after all it's a sony! =)

  • Used it for 2 years. Overall a very good phone. Crashed once within the warranty and they replaced the board. Camera is poor. Everything else is very good.

  • I have had this phone for a year or so and have loved it the whole time. But the best thing is that my daughter had it in her purse one day while retrieving the mail from the back seat of our van; she accidentally dropped it on the ground without her knowing. My husband drove over it and guess what! It still works! Even the camera! The only thing that happened to it was that the internal screen got cracked. But closed you cannot tell anything happened! I use it to this day! I love it still!

  • This is a good phone. I'm totally hands down on this mobile phone. The thing is, and i'm confused with other users who would comment on the camera? you know for sure that this is a "music phone"?! i don't get it?? i don't know about you dude...but this is the phone for the "hard to impressed" that goes to show that this phone is great.

  • ahhhh!!!I love this fone!!! it�s the best...I always want it, and now I have it!!! and I�ll never change it... thanks sony ericsson!!!

  • I was pretty satisfied with the phone. Good sound, fast performance, good upgrade abilities, great conectivity and support. Altough my phone wasn't that reliable. It had a few hardware defects that forced me to get a new phone. Yet before it crashed it was great and long lasting (battery).

  • i bought my wife one 3 years ago and it still works like new i told her the other day let me get you a new phoneand she totally refused he wont give it up the best phone she ever had she reckons

  • i had this phone for like a year or two. One of the best SE phones. The only problem i got is that my battery keeps on going off really fast. and i don't like the camera but its a really good phone

  • i had one w300se, and l desided to have two of w300 and it's very nice phone for music specially made also good speaker

  • My god, is this a cell phone?? that is going besides a cellphone... I have one since last year, and I promise myself I've to be carefull with this phone because this is sooooooooooo goooooooooood It works very good, but the only think that isn't good, is the camera, but it doesn't matter, the other things compensate!!

  • good good good ckckckckckckckclick me sharuk hkhan style hahaha nice phone like no other my freind bought a w980 but failed against the sound quality of my phone and pissed on his mobile hahahahahahaha

  • this is the chosen 1 of thousands the greatest ever i love sony ericsson but want to say just make a new version with 3.2 megapixal camera and latest music walkman player and 3g and and name it sony ericsson w300 reloaded please...!!!...and make it of metal this time not plastic so it doesnt peal off

  • using this beauty for the last 2 years. Its really worth the money. The sound is awesome. Much better then the expensive music handsets from other brands. Camera is Ok not that good. The sound from the headphones is amazing, but could have been a little louder like the W700i. The phone also is very stylish and makes a nice style statement.

  • nothing peels off! the beauty stays for years. In/out of pockets, in car, bags; dosen't matter

  • this phone is worth purchasing. I've been using it phone going on 2 yrs now, and no problems thus far. If you like music then it's definetly the choice for you!

  • no

  • does this phone has full screen optition?

  • The wifey, the eldest son & I have all had our own w300i's for almost 3 years each now and the screens on mine and the wifey's have gone white... The eldest... his went in the ohio river lol.. But we all three loved this phone for durability, simplicity and music... Yes yes the camera isnt up to snuff but all else is great. Oh by the way I got a top score of just over 9 million on the quadrapop game lol!! Go Me!!!

  • yeah... i do agree with you on that 110%...w300i/ w300a lasts longer. Although, it has no built-in stereo speakers, But the ear phones are excellent!! The best designed Flip Phone ever made. Thank you cellphone God!!

  • i would reccomend the w300i it is much better quality coz the w350s little flap breaks easily so if u wana have your fone 4 long get the w300i trust me it lasts long!!!!

  • the best it was,the best it is and the best it will ever be!

  • no it doesn't peel of, the paint is perfect ! i have it 3 years and it works fine. :)

  • plz some1 tell me does it peels of by time n look sucks???

  • Very good phone, excellent MP3 player, good camera and video. Would recommend it!!

  • better go for w 300

  • totally love it, when i bought this phones it had the same price of the motorola rarz v3 and it has better quality and more features and nobody can,t steal this phone because it looks very simple phone and nobody believe it has all those features. i dropped it 100 times and still working excellent, only thing i can complain is the camera but after that it could be the best phone ever and im not going to change it

  • I would get the W350. I've had the W300, it's a brilliant little phone but is old and you don't get alot of gadgets with it. So i will say get the W350. I am also looking to get the W350, i heard it's a good little phone....so ya

  • I definitely like this phone. I'm currently using it and its a really good phone almost the same feature that w850i has, the only thing is w850i have a one touch walkman player with advance feature and clear 2.0 megapixel camera with flash and w850i is a 3G handset, but all in all its a great low end phone. Key Feature: Walkman Player Photo DJ� Video DJ� Music DJ� Themes: Great Walkman themes. Speaker: Its average but it works fine. M2 memory card: It supports up to 2GB. Main Disadvantage: Camera: The camera produces grainy pictures. File Format: It does not support WMA & ACC files. Screen: It only has 128 x 160 its second to lowest resolution which is 128 x 128. The outer screen is monochrome. Java Games: Its limited to 128 x 160 games and apps. other than that resolution is cut. But all in all its a one great phone.

  • w300i or w350i please REPLY!

  • this is an exellent fone with great functions simmilar to the w350i

  • i need software,game, themes for sony ericsson w300 please give me links free game,themes site

  • 256mb my friend. Expandable t0 2Gb. But I Wud prefer lower. .to prevent slow reading of its memory - capacity system of card.

  • can i ask what is the maximum memory card of this phone

  • Hi SonyEricsson Fans... W300i is A gREAT pHONE!! hERE'S mY rEVIEW: 1 being low & 10 being High. Bad Side: -Not Scratch Proof. -Videocam Not So Good-7/10. -Camera-0.3Megapixel-3/10(Musicphone-typcally) -Extremely Tempting for Others with Envious Eyes... They Can't stop/Resist Staring With the super-great design of w300i...So Watch out!! -Can't Hardly sleep-due to the Charismatic sound of the ringtones in stored.(extremely legendary music phone) Had Enough??LOL hERE'S The Good Side. +Design wise Clamshell/"FlipPhone" 8/10. +Camera Design 8/10. +Keypad/KeyDesign 10/10. +Music Wise 10/10. +Battery 8/10. +Performance(over all) 9/10. +videoCam 7/10. +Features 10/10. +Durability(over all)...hhmmm...Fairly 6/10. +Artistic Design Over all 9/10. All in All...I would Definitely Recommend this phone!!

  • this phone was working Fine for 5 months . soon i came across a strange problem. . . when ever i connect the phone to charge the battery it is prompting Me to select the phone mode ! that is the USB connection is being enabled. . the online firmware update did not help me. . . .the best feature about this phone is it's sound quality and battery life and nothing more.

  • Hi all, i want this fone. Is this fone still available at store? And how much usd its cost now? I hear its cheap. Please somebody tell me, Thanx...i want dis fone coz its music quality and cheap prize. I dont want w200 coz its lack of bluetooth and uses joystick. Also w200 headset is not rubber hpm70 like in w200. I dont mind with vga camera in this price?

  • Yes it doesn't slow it down one bit, but the 2Gb does.

  • yes, the w300 can work memory 1gb, max. 2gb

  • Can somebody answer me if the w300i works whit a 1Gb M2 Memory Stick???

  • Hey has ur screen become white after a while..?is it bcoz i let it fall mny times? Coz mine did:S but i love this fone:Music player really good bt the camera nt tht good..bt i still like it ..answer me plz thxx..

  • sony ericsson w300i is actually a befokte phone but the fact that his flexi gets weardown after a while makes it kek!!!!

  • does it supports .jar files? can we connect the phone to the pc without pc suite? and use internet via cable with edge [E] network.?

  • this is going to be the phone that i buy as an upgrade from the z310a, the z310a holds 1000 messages at a time which is a pro of course (for all the big texters), it alerts you when you hit 965 b/c of ltd memory. as long as you have the memory saved for it, I guess that could be +/- an amt of msgs, but i only have 1.1 MB left and the memory is not full at 1125 messages.

  • please please..how can i print the messages in this phone i really need it..pls..i really need the message for my paper application..please..here is my email [email protected]

  • i thnk this is a great phone,has great features,sound quality is great and love the WALKMAN!!

  • Hi, is there a way to increase the inbox capacity of SE phones? Is there like a patch or a software update that i can install to increase the inbox capacity of this phone? I believe that this phone can only store 150 or 200 SMS messages (inbox, outbox, sent messages, drafts). I also have a Z610i phone which i noticed that it can store more messages compared to my W300i. I'm planning to buy a new SE phone as well (preferably Walkman), how do i know the SMS capacity of the phone just by looking at its features posted on this website? Hope someone out there can address all of my questions. =)

  • Well don't know if all you guys are telling the truth bout this phone on what is and what was, but i did just have this phone for 2 days and counting... I can say its a good phone for an 8,000php. 1: its a phone 2: its a walkman phone 3: it has a camera along with it (althought it has a poor resolution, but still.. I'm after it for the music!! and its PRETTY DAMN GOOD........

  • Hey All...what video format does this phone play?

  • i had this phn since it came out i luved it so much da little sh** had some good features but different story about camera in other cases its a good phn

  • Solid and reliable, this phone has never missed a beat. Not the best camera and the screen is a bit on the small side, but the colours are great, the keyboard is good in both size and feedback and the case hasn't picked up any scratches. And the music player rocks, it holds a charge for 3-5 days - I'm only getting a new one to update (and this is a bit on the tubby side) but I'm so hoping the next one I get is as good.

  • I had this phone since it came out in 2006 and it's still working great! This is the best phone I ever owned! It's a really though phone; I must have droped it 100 times already and has no damage! I even droped it in water! I am really disapointed with the new phones on the market right now, none of them have the features that I'm looking for.

  • The Perfect Phone! I wish all new phones were an improved version of this. The OS is amazing. The look is amazing. The performance is FAST. Perfect!

  • Pros: *Bluetooth *Sony Walkman feature. *Up to 2 Gb of Memory. *Conversation Recording. *Handsfree *VERY Good battery life! *Very nice contact book. *Unlimited video recording (depends on memory card size) Cons: *Poor video recording quality. *Only 0.3 Mega Pixel camera. *Some models have no flash. *Can only transfer Pictures, Videos and Music. *The Screen gets loose after a while. *The outer shell is not scratch proof. *Proprietary Charger/Ear phones / USB plug. *To use an audio file as a ring tone one must dig out the whole Sony Ericsson web site. *The speaker loses it's volume strength after light usage. I had this phone for about 9 months. It was working great till one day I open it and the screen was white. Everything was working, but the phone would not display a thing :S. The flip became loose after a while. Phone book is really nice. The walkman feature is easy to use and works great. The phone can be turned into a Walkman or a phone. Overall I would give it a 7/10. PS: If you get the WSOD (White screen of Death) you have 50% of saving your phone. you can try and hook it up to your PC using the USB cable and update the firmware of the cell phone (It's under the support section), if that won't help you than you'll have to fix the screen contacts inside the phone.

  • this phone is awsome for the cash u pay it h as everything the new sony ericssons have

  • Great features for the price. HOWEVER! I've had it 3 months, and am very careful, but it has had one small fall. This has ruined it, if it is closed quickly it goes dead, caller-ID is broken, and other anomalies like instead of saying "message delivered" for delivery reports it will give my current call credit balance. TL;DR in short: great features for the money, bad quality of design.

  • w300 is the worst mobile fone i had it sucks, lack of camera, ugly desing, small screen, the bottom part where u talk to will drop out every time when u open it. The most idiot part is after 1 year the screen will go black and it can't be fixed 4 ever! now this fone is long gone at the river bank after i trow it away. (Don't Buy This Fone, It Suck)

  • what about the maximum store of messaging??

  • i've had this fone for 3 months and it is really terrible. This fone is an accident waiting to happen...it breaks really easily, is not reliable at all...no one should waste their money on this fone.

  • How did you fix the blank screen?

  • I would like to know if anyone out there experience their phone screen going blank,u can hear the phone ring even hear your music but screen is blank can i fix this problem on my own

  • while during a call press more and take option record sound no beep sound to the caller only a vib to us

  • the camera is not good at all. It's intended for mms i think. Yes the battery is excellent. Sound is real nice. Loudspeaker is fine.

  • if u want this phone...... buy it..... u'll not regret it.... the battery is wonderful..... i bought it bout 2 years ago.... and it still works perfectly till now... although it has been fall many times, it still work good.... i have no problem with this phone since i bought it..... this phone is really satisfying.....

  • I've been using this phone since February 2007 till now. The battery is superb. It is still consistent till today. I don't seem to need to charge it more often as most batteries deteriorate. Very satisfied with this phone.

  • This phone is really good actually you can take pictures, videos, and surf the internet and 4 games I like quadra drop lol

  • yes it can record your convos for as long as you like

  • I've already had this phone for more than over a year and i have to say its a great phone i have dropped it so many times that i have lost count and yet almost no scratches battery life still is great and i constantly use it to call and for music... good signal reception. i have never had any real problem with it.. still looks almost new after a year. the only thing its the camera that really sux but i never use it so it works for me... in general a really good phone

  • I got this phone about a year and a half ago and thought it was brilliant for about the first 6 months, then it started to annoy me. The only major problem with the phone is the camera which is poor, but if you don't mind that it's a great phone. I think, however, it should only be bought as a short-term phone as it is not amazingly reliable and mine has broken easily, despite me being uber careful with it >=( But anyways to be fair its quite a good phone, but nothing special...

  • Hi friends can you tell if you can record a conversation during a call on this mobile? Does it give away beeps? Thanks

  • w300 is a good handset but has some loop holes like low camera quality and even sound on external speakers are low but in the headset its too good and even screen is not so big and also flap gets loose and rest is ok like it has bluetooth, infrared, 2gb extendable memory so i would not like to recommend this phone

  • w300 is a good handset but has some loop holes like low camera quality and even sound on external speakers are low but in the headset its too good and even screen is not so big and also flap gets loose and rest is ok like it has bluetooth, infrared, 2gb extendable memory so i would not like to recommend this phone

  • I had this phone in black and it was very slick, not the good kind. Every time i would reach into my pocket to get it out it would almost always fall out of my hand. the phone other than that was ok. But i would not recomend this phone to anyone and i would not buy it again

  • I liked this phone when i first got it because it gave good reception, but i have to agree the cam is horrible n mine started malfunctioning exactly 8 months after i got it.

  • i dont like this set bcoz i use it 4 months but its camera was so bad some times its radio not catch signals. its so bad model of sony.

  • it is very bad phone i hate this phone. bcoz its flap is soo bad. if any one give this phone in $1 i will not buy it.

  • hehe..n its kinda jinxd too.

  • if you are thinking about getting this phone, DO NOT DO IT. the battery is bad, the camera is crappy, it's very bulgy, this phone is NOTHING SPECIAL.

  • I would advise against anyone buying this atleast from India. The sound was pretty good, so was the battery, and the phone appeared to be value for money but the software used to get stuck at times. Sometimes memory card was not being detected. I had to flash it once (because of white screen syndrome) within the warranty period . It fell down later and again was not powering on. The authorised service people say that I need to shell out Rs 3500 to get it replaced. Please be informed that this phone is not at all meant for any rough handling.

  • how can use internet on the phone sony ericsson w300i?

  • this is one of the best phone from sony. i hv been using it from last one year and i hv't face any problem, still it is working great.if u want to buy it go for it,:) thx to sony :)

  • hi! this is Sandeep here , i'd like to buy this h/s , i like it

  • ive had it for over a year without it breaking even though its been dropped on hard cement so many times i cant recall it, also with numerious scrathes on it. phone still works. i just dont like the fact that its kind of bulky

  • this sony erric w300i h/s is like marvellous looking and with very good feature ,i like it.

  • I love the w300!!!! I've had it now for about 10 months and everything about it is great - it took many hard falls and yet the scratches are very limited - the battery performance is FABULOUS - I put a 1GB memory card in it and it works great, you can even remove it while it's on and it won't complain! - great looks! - comes with all the gadgets needed I wasn't expecting much of the camera that's why i'm satisfied, the camera sucks at night, in daytime it works just fine all in all THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED EXACTLY :D

  • how did you fix ur phone?

  • People, keep the phone out of the Babies mouth it is not a toy, also , it should be kept in a cse like most expensive devises, respect your phone and it will serve you the way you care for it, i hear stories and they always end up with how many times they dropped there phone. I am on this phone and it is a hand me down from my daughter, I cleaned it wiped out the baby spt and it works like a new phone, bye the way I have a new and supposably beter phone and I use this one due to the fact it does everything it said it will do and my smart daughter did her homework and knows what to and not to purchase for her dollar, I saw her make the buffalo shit twice and got a dome from the nickle so there ya go folks

  • This Phone is not very good i would be suprised if you have had it for more than 1 year without it breaking. i mean yeah you can send it in to fix it but that is a big hassle and you shouldnt have to do that if you havnt done anything for it to break (w h a t e v e r y o u d o dont get this phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) it is a night mare. you are better off getting a W380i

  • Its a fabules phone, got myne 2yrs, got blank, fixed it and worked perfectly. Like the recording while you talk, it can record as long as you speak. GREAT PHONE LOVE IT.

  • i've been using this phone for over a year and i rescently started giving trouble the screens blanking off all the time and the camera is crappy. its an ok phone but nothing to brag about could've been better for my part, but i'm not the only person wo is having this problem alot of people i know who has this phone says the same thing.also the flip gets really loose after a while.so watch out!!

  • this is a great phone if you dont want to spend to much and love to listen to music . the sound is amazing , the camera and video are on the low , the call quality is great . i drop this phone soooo many times , almost no scratch , never hade any problem in the 1 year and halph i owned it .liquid killed it ...drop it in a pool ... snif ,snif

  • I just wanted to ask if the d-pad for this phone wears off after sometime?

  • well thts bad, its not sposed to do tht, mine doesnt nyway

  • Hey peeps i've been usin this fone for 11mnths now. It's ear buds give u real gr8 musical experience. Its a music edition n sure lives up to it. No match for any other brands music fone effect. No probs with software(mine is an origi one made in sweeden). It connects to PC internet fine and gprs too is gr8. MMS and Edge werk at gr8 speeds. Display is real Awesome like all other SE fones. Memory capacity is cool.Cam is ok but this is not a K series fone!!! Some dis adv i could say is no options for 'not saving sent messages' and the ear fones base gets a lill loose afta heavy usage. dats it... Over all gr8 fone 8.5/10 frm me.... Swami www ji (India)

  • the back screen of my fone is nit like the one in the pictures.... can anyone tell me how 2 change it plzz?

  • if i had to rate dis fone it would b: camera: 3/10 music quality :8.5/10 weight: 7/10 memory:6/10 other options(picture,video editor: 7/10 image quality:4.5/10 design:7.5/10 This fone is really cool for music lovers and very affordable

  • u can use opera mini 4.1 with it,it will be better.............

  • u can use opera mini 4.1 with it,it will be better.............

  • hi i am from INDIA. I wish to buy this phone but before that is this phone working well? phone manufacturing differ from countries so the Indians who uses this mobile give a reply whether i can buy r not.. plz plz its urgent.

  • this is a dum and stupid phone its speaker that you talk through doesnt work after 8 mnths can you believe and sony cant fix the problem the speakers of the music fade away please dont buy the phone its cheap

  • hey i ve had d w3001 for almost nine months n ve had no real probs so far..besides the camera that i haven't really needed, d phone's a great one for music lovers n s clarity for music s definitely one of d best arnd!no screen freezings, no prbz wid memory..n u know, d pics transfeered onto d compain't tht bad..all in all, i d recommend dis as a gr8 'first phone' for ne1 lkn arnd for a phone with gr8 music

  • This is a pathetic phone.Have been using it for a month now and definately not worth it.For starters the video quality is way degraded and also the worst part is that u cannot save ur messages to the memory card...The only saving grace is its sound which is good however if u r a heavy SMS user than dont buy this phone.

  • why does it make that annoying beeping sound when it's charging? Could some1 answer that ques?

  • It suport 2gb.i trx it.

  • I had a phone,Yes and its W300i, Wow that phone was a cool,cool,cool, and cool stuff..mp3,mp4,amr,wav no not WAV, thats what i hated it!but I had no choice! I simply get it for FREE!! Thats NICE!!^_^

  • Yes it does support 1 GB memory card.

  • does it support 1 GB ?please tell me before i buy it

  • i agree with its bad quality for the camera and it is also thick,, the internet browser cannot connect, i don't know why, but it can send mms,, it sucks for handling internet,,

  • the sony ericsson w300i maybe small for a walkman phone but packs a punch with its big features and simplistic style. a 0.3mp camera with video,mp3,mp4 players,fm radio with bluetooth and infrared connectivity plus an M2 memory stick rounds out its awesome arsenal in neat little package! a true mini marvel!

  • This phone ROCKS! I came across it by accident...and fell in love with it immediately. I bought it about a month later. I've had it for about 1.5 years now, and it's been awesome throughout. Even now, I think it's one of the coolest phones made by Sony Ericcson. If you are on a low budget, this is probably the best since it's an old model.

  • can any one tll me dat how ve can transfer contects from old Phone bcz it do not work with pc sut avlabe wit phone

  • i dont like this phone at alll i got it about 18 months ago and in that time it has been sent away for repair 3 times ... each coming back as nothing i had done... the screen goes white and then it just refuses to work... in th end a phone call in the rain made it not work... that was what broke it... rain. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE.

  • This phone is great i've had mine for near a year with heaps of times dropping it and has only minor scratchs... the media player and radio are really good and the applications are good too. the only thing is that the camera its really bad but anyway i never use iot so its fine by me. battery life last for about 3-4 days listening to music and calling sending messgs. its a goods phone. but ive heard the asian ones are made different than european so they suck....

  • this phone is okay the design is cute features are good camera is okay music is good memory is brilliant screen is small and bad camera could be better its very thick but the screen is just white for some reason! idont know why.. all it shows is a white screen!!!

  • HI Guys, i really admire this phone,its actually good for its price,however i am having problem with my usb cable, i used w200i and k320 usb cable but the computer doesent recognise it.can someone pls help me out, thanks.

  • I have this cellphone for 2 year and 3 moths, and you know? it's ok and working, and working hard (whole day with the internet, calls, text messages, music, aplications, alarms and all the things that he can do) I spend the battery in like 16 hours daily and the cellphone continue working.

  • I have this cellphone for 2 year and 3 moths, and you know? it's ok and working, and working hard (whole day with the internet, calls, text messages, music, aplications, alarms and all the things that he can do) I spend the battery in like 16 hours daily and the cellphone continue working.

  • This phone is not bad in my opinion. I've had it for half a year, and it hasn't failed me one bit. It never freezes up, and is quite fast. I usually bring it into the shower with me for music, so light exposure to water has never been a problem for me. I've dropped this phone a countless number of times after the 1 year mark (when I felt like getting a new one), and it only ended up with FEW scratches. This is a very good phone for its price.

  • Hei guys, got a problem, my phone was infected by a virus, then my phone got blocked out. when i try to turn it on, the screen and light blinks. help me pls. send me email for reply thanks.

  • HEY PPL dont buy this fone hav mine for 3 month now deleting stuff by itself keypad is squeeky and bad quality

  • I love this phone. It is sensitive to water damage and is a little delicate. When I water damaged/destroyed my first one I went out and bought the exact same one again. Nice Features: Voice dialling/receiving Voice name of person interrupts on call waiting - very handy if you want to ignore or receive that person while on another call. Address book is comprehensive and I use it for all my necessary info, email addresses, web addresses, street addresses, birthday/reminders etc. FM radio is great. Music is great. Handsfree for all long calls or speakerphone for short ones. Radio & Music interrupted by incoming call with voice ID of caller and automatic answer - great when on my bicyle. Battery life great for a clam - 24 hours of radio/music listening - as per spec info above. Only phone with a "wolf whistle" (Hey Beautiful) for a ringtone/sms alert! Have Bluetoothed it to several people and get lots of laughs/funny looks as it sounds so authentic - especially in the library & airport immigration/baggage control. Useful to have camera/video even if not high quality. Bad Feature: Cannot handle much abuse although have dropped it from short heights a few times.

  • this phone is ok.....but i u want a phone looking better than this with all the same facilities and cheaper 2.... then buy the nokia 2760 instead.......all phones exept nokia r very difficult 2 operate like this one.....

  • mine is w300i.. but i don't know what the difference is. I don't recommend this one anyway!!! I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, I luved it when i 1st saw it. but now i see it wasn't a good choice. The Camera is Awful. but The Worst part is this: I can't talk more than 5 or 6 min... because it starts to get noisy & then after making a couple of beeps, the line is dead!!! yesss..... i really miss my old Motorola V3i( event hough its battery was rubbish)

  • i have had this phone for a while and i dont liek how the pictures come out adn the videos can onyl be about 30 seconds which is annoying and i want a new one but it is ok

  • Well, I think it's very good.

  • like the phone and music but don`t like cam.Think they could have done more with it

  • It is a best phone model in the town, with better battery back up. It has got many more features-Media Player.

  • hi..using this phone for past 6 months..xcellent phone for music lovers and has good style also... best in its class...but disadvantage are low camera quality,low screen quality,not so good speed with higher memory cards..... so if u want to buy a music phone..then don;t think at all but if u want camera the K750i is better but music is not good in it. for further details pls. mail me....

  • this is a gr8 phone,had it 4 almost a yr.but last week my screen went white an ever since dat,its been doing dat all the time.i think its the white screen of death or sumthing like dat.how do u fix this???idk if its jus dust in the flip.how do i get it workin again??? my email is [email protected] plz help me asap its urgent.

  • This phone is not bad but expected more,displease with cam, love media player also the phone scr is too small. A scale 1-10 i give is a 4

  • To me, this is one of the greatest phones SE has ever made. Light, ultra cool looking, comfortable, packed with features all for a relatively low price. Lovely ui, fast menus, nice little external screen. Yep I wish the camera was really 1.3mp too but everything else about this phone is seriously good.

  • So I got this phone a year ago. My *-0-9-8-7-and # buttons don't work. But that's apparently my fault. I can't dial 911 shouldn't that be illegal? I have to call customer service to get something done about it but WAIT. I can't dial thier number.

  • Yeah, i have this phone too, the camera isn't great but the rest of it isd fabulous

  • its nice, but the camera is bad. at least its a WALKMAN, i love its music player and i just found out that its mp4 capable. I RECOMMEND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have this phone . The speaker is not bad . Only problem is that camera not that good ,screen too small cannot play other type of media such as oog or avi .

  • The phone's a good deal. playback sometimes fail. please tell me why. And does it support 1gb card smoothly? # definitely a 1.3 mgpxl camera needed. # horizontal video playback not available. # no external memory card slot.(its inside the back cover) # outer screen is really cool.

  • My husband is on W300i #3.. Screen has gone out on the other 2. Never exposed to water and very very rarely dropped. Other than the previous screen problem he is happy with it.

  • De fone does do it work.Only better camera needed.Walkman is as walkman does

  • the mp3 player it's really bad! it has a lot of noise, and it haves some kind of limiting when you turn the volume up to the max.

  • this pone is awesome it has the best music player of all phones

  • I have this phone 4 approxmately four months is not bad but the camara suck big time.

  • Hey I've had this phone for ages, It's great Sometimes it freezes when I'm playing a game but generally it's good, the mp3 player is good as is the video the camera takes clear shots if you fix the settings to how you like them to come out. Overall it's a nice compact phone.

  • i have two walkman phones.One is the w610i and the other is the w300(canadian phone).The plus side of the w300 is the sound quality is downright good but sometimes the sound can get jammed if played a lot of times but it's a good phone with a reasonable price and good feature but weak camera.Still a good phone like my w610i which ROCKS!!!!!

  • I HAD THIS phone since last year september and so it's workong great the omly problemn is that the memory card is a bit scratched but i ntyhe end agood phone

  • I've got this phone for about 6 monts, and then in a night it just die, i figured out that the phones mainboard die, and then somo others friends w300i had the same problem, watch it, but it pretty goof bottom line

  • I would definitly recommend dis phone. had it for one whole year(thatz my record) n no damage done. itzzz great for mp3 n videos. great features. WARNING this phone will only work if u r willing to compromise on de camera which is O.K

  • Hi Guys! Can I watch MP4 videos in this phone? I'm thinkin' about buyin' it, but what i want to know is that, if i can watch videos.

  • I love my phone. I have had it for over 1 year and have had NO problems whatsoever. Plays games, music, takes pics and videos! I would highly recomend this phone!

  • Awesome phone ,it has every thing, no complaints abt that,except camera. :)

  • this phone is a piece of crap. only had it 6 months and now the screen is all white. i woulnt give this thing to my worst enemie.

  • I have it with a 2 GB Memory Stick Micro... Still has 335 MB of free space :D

  • vlad, are you sure that? up to 2gb? i've 1gb.

  • i have this phone for a year and works perfect. if you want music this is a good and cheap choice.

  • It supports up to 2GB.

  • Hey hows it going? im looking to get this phone as i want a music oriented phone, but i was just wondering whats the biggest memory card the phone takes? thanks very much.

  • i would recomend not buying this phone there life expectancy is short and they are not very durable

  • For mac users try SyncTunes (free). Helps you use your iTunes playlists.

  • It comes with the data cable.

  • How does one put music on phone using mac with os 10.4.11?

  • Does anybody know if this phone works with H9 motorola blue headset? Is the connection to the phone mini usb ?

  • culd sony ericsson make anotha version of w300 lyk da same design but better features lyk upgrade da camera and stuff

  • Like 5-7 days.

  • Also take out the memory card and sim card.

  • You should of took the battery out. Then put the phone in a bag of rice and left it in there for awhile.

  • Its ok the memory but the cam is bad well i fing but it ok.

  • Dude .. i has been use this W300 about 1++year, the phone is great, no problem at all until one day i am try to update the software then the camera not function coz wrong driver etc, send to SE service center they restore back, this is hardcore phone for those who dun appreciated the pretty thing then this is yours. I am still using it to hear the music with sony MDR-NX3 and the sound was SUPERB..try it you will love it. i dun need 3G, camera as i have the P1 to do that.I give 4 of 5 star.

  • I've had this phone just over a year... Its still working well but the camera resolution kindda bad. Why cant it b 2 mpix not 0.3mpix. Im thinking of buying the SE W610i.....

  • My Hubby bought me this for xmas, Best phone I've had

  • i feel so bad about ds fon..my dad jz packaged it 2 me as an xmas present from Qatar to Phils..my fon hanged up en wat u can see is only a white screen..i feel realy bad..sum told me dat maybe sum1 sent a virus on my fon..i nid to reformat it now...so bad..

  • How gd is this phone?

  • i av jst gt rid of dis phone nd gt an upgraded 1 t' w810i i didnt like ths fone coz of t' camera i ad a 2GB memory card in so i could av a lot of songs which ws good it is a qute good fone !!!!dnt buy ths fone if u lyk takin pictures wit ur m8s!!!!!

  • it is a gr8 fone but the camera is only 0.3 mega pixels

  • The photo quality is really bad, even for a 1.3 MP equivalent.

  • i have this phone a little over 10 months n it rocks. Sound quality is gr8,display is good too.I's very sleek,good looking n battery life is superb.

  • its a nice phone but a lot of people use it 2 much more colours would be good

  • i hav just bg8t dis fone & its rocks its way better than 5300,5200 or any nokia walkman fone SE Rocks

  • I just bought this phone and i actually prefer it to any of the Nokia N Series. The sound quality is amazing. Great phone. Im impressed for the price.

  • its ok great feutuers(spell like a dog on tranqulizers)cheap 50 pound area and a walkman but it just lacks star quality 8/10

  • Interpolated means that it takes pixels that it knows are real and it makes up pixels around them using that known data. This makes a larger image. I think it can do a 1200x1600 that way. It's a little fuzzy/less clear because of the made-up pixels. Great phone for the money. I've had two. Only thing I can say is I dropped the first one once and the screens started flaking out, not displaying properly or at all sometimes. I'd have to close the phone and reopen it to get the screen to display. Also I've got a 1GB card upgrade that was buggy straight out of the package I'm troubleshooting right now... ugh

  • Good phone, have it for more than 1 year and it still working well. ever crash in bike accident crack the camera screen but no problem have occur. it even support 4gb m2 so i think this phone is great and i love it.. S.E. rockzz..

  • oh marvelos!this phone is wonderful.net sarfing,downloding is very esy

  • this phone ROCKS!!!its almost twice as loud as the w810 which i also got.i have this phone 4 8months an it still works great.the cam is iight.not really good.this phone is more 4 music.its loud and really clear.its totally worth the price coz u can download certain software on it 2 make it even better.this phone rocks!!!

  • what does 'interpolated to 1.3 mp mean... i desperately need 2 kno' wat that means!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Iv got a w300i, and im pretty sure it doesnt have instant messaging, if so please tell me how to get it

  • hey i cant get my sim card out to change it! help plz

  • To all of you who complain about this phone's fragility: Mobile phones are not ment for dropping!!!! Use rocks!!!!

  • Hiya !! im 15 and ive owned this phone for a whole year !! thats how durable it is LOL !! battery was excellent !! im suprised it works after this, my mum she ran it over with the car. the bit next to the spaker snapped the front screen cracked the camera died but it still makes/receieves sms's and calls great. great little phone 10/10.

  • ive had this phone for almost a year now, and i have a few problems with it. 1) it sometimes doesn't even recognize my micro ms card (using 1gb) whenever i listen to music. 2) it's turned off automatically twice whenever i hit dial on a contact. 3) im really unfortunate, but i hav a giant sticker popping up at the central bottom of the phone. 4) the mp3 player makes snaps and pop noises while changing tracks. 5) you cannot turn off camera shutter sounds (unless if you do know how to, please let me know). 6) sms storage capacity is big yet limited. 7) you (i) cannot enter the browser offline in menu, or main screen. 8) videos cannot be viewed widescreen 9) this is just me, but i like the option of gapless playback. i had that on my samsung x660 but this phone has a 1 second gap before looping again. 10) you cannot zoom on the largest picture size. 11) sometimes i get the white screen of death. 12) i wish the screen was at least 176x220 overall, its a good phone, but for me it has a lot of problems..i wished the annoying sticker at the bottom of my phone was removed, cuz everytym i look at it i just want to smash it against the wall or something. i really regret choosing this over the z550 at the time, since the z550 was cheaper, and had a bigger screen and more features.

  • I own a SE W300i for almost a year now. Never had any issues. It just does its job. And it does it good.

  • The screen looks washed out compared to the W810i. The camera is 5.5 out of 10 but photos taken with this looks much better on a brighter screen.

  • How do I take off the battery? It's kinda stocked.. :-s

  • I'm sorry about that, but my phone fall of when I was drive my motrcycle and it's working with any problem. I don't find a real good phone so easy.

  • I own this phone for 10 months now. I gotta say it's a great phone, the sound quality, battery life, and things other than camera is really good. Camera, ok frankly i don't use phone's camera often. Because i bring camera along when i'm going out. I use it as mp3 player more than a phone! I had dropped this phone for like 4 times, and it's still working. But i'll need to remove and replace the SIM card. Perhaps my transparent cover of my phone save my phone from not working? =) It's worth to buy this phone with this price!

  • W300i was with me since february 2006, It droped down more than 10 times (over 3 feet)bt still working properly. Sound qulity is very good.

  • ive had this phone for over a year now and i must say it has been the best phone ive ever had. ive dropped it a million times its been splashed with water, its been in concrete stood on you name it and it still works like new. the only bad thing with it tho is that after a while the inside gets scratched like mad.

  • When we play mp3 file and set to megabass, with the earphone included, does the the sound unrecognizable played at maximum volume? (with earbud-type walkman headset. not talking about external speaker..)

  • hey i would like to know if i could get this phone repaired in the USA using the warranty that I have obtained in a South American country? I would also like to know if the camera quality is really as bad as many people say.. also,whether this phone has any bugs or problems I should be warned about before purchasing.

  • So this phone, i've dropped it sooo many times. 'cause I'm a really clumsy person and yeahh. I've had it for about 5 months now? and it doesn't work anymore. So make sure you don't drop the phone that often. My mother's works pretty well, but she doesn't use the phone that often. so overall as long as you don't drop it or damage it in any other way it'll work alright (:

  • i have this phone and so does my hubby and i have thrown this phone twice dropped it many times and it is still working and it is a all round gr8t phone and its cheap it does a bit of everything and we love it.

  • hey i just bout this phone 9 nov 2007 .i tried so hard to find white colour but failed.even sony world informed me that they couldnt arrang 1 for me.i m told that this model has been out of production 4 two month yet sony,s website suggests otherwise.i want 2know from any of the w300i users that whether there r any real quality issues with this set.pls reply my query.as of now myset is working just fine.waiting 4 reply .anurag jabalpur india

  • if you are buying this phone make sure you do not drop it or hit it because it is very very fragile.......... so annoying but still my one is broke now but it was a great phone and it holds a lot of mp3's..

  • Cool fone..But if it get dropped, something will happen.Once it got dropped and after tat When i switching on d fone,lines are coming in the screen.very fragile...!!

  • Nice phone in the beginning however, after using it for about a year I couldnt hear the other party but they would hear me fine..I have to use the speaker or the headphones to hear the other party..this happened to my wife's fone as well as a fone that i got from a friend later..juss warning ya'll..peace

  • good phone...i have this....

  • Good phone, although if dropped, as mine was, it will fail. Two of my keys failed, and now I cannot use it. Very Fragile

  • this phone is perfect. because is cheap, with camera, radio card slot etc... is perfect, I have this one i bought for 200 dollars. with all. headset, memory card cable, cd and this phone is perfect

  • in my no.2 question below, i mean 'flash-based' themes.. sorry, wrong type =)

  • 1. how to reset the phone or to back to original setting? 2. is this phone support fkash-based themes? if yes, where to download? 3. when we play mp3 file and set to megabass, with the earphone included, does the the sound unrecognizable played at maximum volume? (with earbud-type walkman headset. not talking about external speaker..) anyone who can answer those above q, is surely big se fan. & i will thnk u.

  • This fone great but camera suck bad flip a bit loose otherwise perfect

  • attach your usb cord to your pc, the phone memory and the memory card appears, its better to put the vidoe on your memory card. convert it to a format the phone can understan ag 3gp

  • I found it a lot easier to use a small piece of that non slip plastic sheet you can get from almost any $2 shop. Simply turn the phone off then cover the back cover of the phone with the the antislip material and slide the cover off as smoothly and with only just enough strength as it takes to dislodge the cover. Be careful not to break it though. Regards Kevin

  • Can anyone please teach me step by step how to download music or video to my W300? I have tried but I couldn't get it. Thanks.

  • can we open the back of the phone????... i tried a hell lotta times....unsuccessfull..!!..hangs a hell lotta times..!...gr8 sound quality..!...

  • this phone does not support aac . only support m4u and mp3

  • Overall is ok Below are the cons: -Not support Wma,mpeg,wmv format -the volume is low when hearing call -not compatible with sis. type application -bad camera, noly 0.3 mp (even with 1.3mp interpolated-mean digital zoom ,the image quality still bad ) -problem occur when installing java application via bluetooth from PC (from phone to phone is OK) -not support bluetooth networking (when using w300 as modem for PC,only USB cable) -screen size is small 128 x 160 pixels. -no radio FM recording -irritating white-out for short period when transferring file via USB cable -cannot save customized equalizer -cannot set automatic receive call with loud speaker(have to open the clamp-shell to receive call when driving without handsfree) -loose clamp shell design compare to other brand like nokia -for some java application, the phone is annoying because kept asking for permission. in the permission setting only have the choice of "never", "alway ask" but no setting of "never ask". -cannot play midi file in the player,(but still support midi for ringtone) -the "YES" and "Cancel" button is too small -no external trigger "shot" button for camera for (difficult for self potrait) Conclusion: *vote 10 for physical design *vote 8 for feature(its feature worth the money since it is cheap) *vote 7 for performance(due above cons)

  • the fone flip is lose a little and can any one please tell me if It can be fixed easily. my email [email protected]

  • Great phone! after a dead w810 i got this phone and, beside the camera (that really sucks) I would say w300 has a much better cost/benefit if you don't use the camera! Batery life is great, display is great, walkman is great and to me it's a stylish mobile... just get a 2gb MS and you are fine! i just complain about the keyboard... (get often the wrong key... keyboard isnt that bad tho.) recomended!

  • how can i use d photo call?????

  • Camera is VGA which isn't too spectacular. This is the only thing I can complain about the phone. Other than that this phone is perfect.

  • hi every1, i used SE w300i for one year, i hav to say its a gr8 phone.many of u may thk its just another walkman phone having all those common features. but there are some issues which made this phone better than others. like it doesn't hav joystick which is not only a prob for SE phones nut also for other makers too. besides it has a very low price compared to SE k750 or w810/800i . so i thk if u dont wan2 take pics nd just wan2 stay happy with ur music library then w300i is a perfect choice.only cons is it has no flash.other than that its fine.if u need any sort of help regarding software or anything else plz contact me i'll try my best. and one more thing plz dont play football in the rain with ur w300i. coz it will b dead nd thats wat happened to my one

  • this is with reference to cell users in mumbai mostly, what is the life of the this model

  • I am planning to purchase this model, anything I need to be warned against, how is the camera quality and what is the life of the handset approx

  • This phone is really good.The sound clarity is astounding.The walkman player is excellent.Its better than the ipod in sound clarity and provides wonderful soothing music.The battery life is excellent.The main disadvantages are the small screen and the camera.But for this price,its absolutely fabulous.This is best phone i ever came across.It has a good radio and the GPRS is real fast.In short,it is the ultimate music device.No second thoughts buy this phone if you are in a budget,you won't regret it.

  • Everyone Ok. Stay Calm. The Camera Has Now Be Upgraded To 1.3mpx. AND you should only get the "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH" if you download lots of games, i have had mine for ages now and nothing "bad" has happened. Its completely reliable. If your really worried go and delete the games, you can download games for free of the Sony Ericsson website if you want them back! Hope you found this useful!

  • I have it for two months.Everything works just fine.But, I have a question...how can I store sms on the memory stick?

  • I wanted to buy this mobile because it has some great functions . But i literally freaked out from all Ericson flip mobiles , as when i read that they keep start freezing and "WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH" So good bye sony ericsson

  • Got my w300i seven months and no problems... works perfectly.

  • Hi, If u dont own this mobile then please dont buy this stupid phone..I am getting horrible problems with this bloddy mobile..

  • lock the keypad by closing the phone. Thats the only way. I think this phone is really cute, I have one and it hasn't done anything its not supposed to.

  • hey is there a way to lock the key pad? i tryed doing it like anyother phone by going to the main menu, then pressing the * buttem...but that dont work, and it says nothing int the users guild about nor is there anything on the phones its self about locking the key pad..

  • has anyone ever had this problem with the w300i?? i bought it and after one month it froze, i had to remove the battery and try and turn it back on and it got stuck on a white screen. It got sent into the company and they could not fix it. They then sent me a new phone, and two month after that, it did the same thing!!! This phone has died on me twice!!! It is a terrible phone, not reliable at all, do not waste your money

  • Regarding the probloem of "busy Tone" there is a function in this fone called Call Restriction which sends busy tone to the callers immediately when they try to call you. try turning it off may work! Go to main menu > Settings > Calls > manage calls> Restrict Calls> All incoming and then try to deactivate the function Might work; other wise it can be a fault in your fone

  • This is a rocking fone I am using it from the past year but I think that its time to say good bye; cuz its flip's one end is just loosening up...can any tell if it is repairable or not?

  • Got my phone two (2) months now, however, I keep getting missed calls..... when the phone rings, I barely even open the phone case, and duh, the screen shows ' Busy tone sent'. Help

  • awesum phone worth the money it costs only let down is screen size but u get used to it it is a madd phone!!!!

He told water has gone inside..Need to replace the board it seems.. I got this phone for 8750 rs and for changing board 1650 rs.. Free services are not responible for water damage it seems. Totally disappointed...Need to see how it works in future..

  • Had this phone for about a year now, had the handset replaced three times and the sim twice,I repeatedly get cut off mid phone call,Orange deny its anything to do with them and are blaming the handset telling me other folks have complained of this too.Never had any problems with Orange in over 10 yrs SO, it has to be the handset.It will be replaced soon, probably go back to Nokia.

  • Can anyone tell me how can i update my firmware? where can i get the latest firmware for this phone and how can I put it into the phone? Pls tell me a site or send a tutorial to my mail. tnx in advance

  • Whoever asked about the 2gb 2 cards yes can use them i bought one the other day and if your going to buy go to www.play.com there �17.99

  • Yeah, camera is bad. If you are willing to put your whole phone at risk, there is a new Camera Driver available that you must replace yourself. I have flashed the latest firmware (R9A036) because SE Update Service kept telling me that my previous firmware (R9A031) was the latest yet I knew it wasn't, updated the camera driver, updated the acoustics, installed some flash menus and debranded all of the T-Mobile & Robbie Williams crap to be left with an incredibly LOUD phone with an 'ok' camera and decent firmware and customisation that stands tall. My problem is, the way it comes as standard with all that Robbie crap or even without it and average camera, small screen resolution takes away quite a bit from this.

  • I got the W300i today and its great I loooove the sound quality, camera sucks but its kool. I wanna know the memory limit it can use. And it froze on me. is it normal to have such long pause while loading? Especially at power up. HELP!!

  • W300i is not produced anymore, but some shops still have it in stock. I like the phone because its clam-model and quite light and small. It has radio-receiver and good music-sound. The camera is crap (0.9 Mpx) so if pictures are important to you, buy something else. Other than that, I recommend it, it's good value for the money (ca 140 Euro). Oh, one more thing... it has Bluetooth, of course, but not version 2 which is required for stereo, so the radio and music-player dont work with a bluetooth headset, you need a wired one.

  • I just purchased a W300i and looks like I bumped into a software bug. I replaced the factory-supplied 256MB memory-stick with a 4 GB stick. After that, trying to download any of the free themes from Sonyericsson results in a "Memory Full" message. Switching back to the 256MB stick, the downloads work again. (I suspect the 4GB gives an overflow error in the memory-calculations, thereby the faulty error-msg.) I also tried the firmware Update Service, but it says the software is already the latest version. Anyone else here that can confirm this error?

  • does any1 know wot the highest memeroy cars u can put in this phone is ?

  • gosh... the camera sux!Well, everything is great except the AWFUL camera...(no comments...)

  • Does anyone knows what i can do to raise the volume level on my handsfree? plz reply.

  • Does camera works lika a 1,3 MP camera?

  • I had dis fone, it was great!The performance was amazing! It was slippery though... Well, it was a really cool fone. the sound rox.mine lasted quite lonng. the camera was just an O.K. for those out there which a trying 2 decide whether this is worth it or not, it is really a great fone.the performance is good too. xoxo, sony e. lova............ ................***..................

  • could anyone please please please tell me how many messages the phone can hold? please!

  • I bought this fone abt 2 days ago and so far so good. sound quality is superb. I love it so far. can u use a 4gig card 4 it

  • I bought this fone abt 2 days ago and so far so good. sound quality is superb. I love it so far. can u use a 4gig card 4 it

  • + The camera suuuuuuckss! it's horrible!

  • The only bit i like anout the phone are the earphones! i loove them! but thats all...otherwise, I hate this phone! finally i'm getting a new phone and it's gonna be a LG Prada! woopwoop! (birthday present!) This phone gets scratches sooo easily! if u get it, get the black one! not the white one! mines is sooo dirty and u can see the scratches sooo easly! the mp3 player is okey...well actually it's good, but watever! texting has got hard on mine! the buttons don't press down propably and they are slippary! x|

  • I got this phone too. >> FOR THOSE WHO CAN'T USE THEIR MP3 AS RINGTONES: The reason is the service provider has locked the phone , so u can buy the ringtones from them. HOWEVER, u can install Sony Ericsson DRM Packager , and convert ur MP3 to a "protected" format, and then u can use the converted one as ringtone. good luck

  • Sorry, I think that was in Euros So 220 Usd a new one, and 140 a 6 mounth old.

  • Abhout 170 USD a new one. 120 a 6 mounth old.

  • This is a realy cool phone a workmate of mine and my supervisor has one can anyone tell me the price if this phone in US$ i would like to send abroad to purchase one,THANKS.

  • @Symon The mp3 ringtone problem is a simply to fix. Go to Settings, General, and deactivate the voice control!!! You cannot MP3 ringtones if the voice control is activated! Deactivating it may fix this problem!

  • i bought W300i today and am so happy with it. i had k750i for a year then i got N72 for 2 months. W300i is good mobile . nice headphone - cable to play your music on a sterio or music player. nice desugn bad camera (VGA) i like it ... its better than K750i and Z530

  • hey iv bin usin this beauty 4 almost a year now works pretty well bt since itsa flap fone gota xtra careful not 2 drop it haha i had a gud time with this fone mp3 is gud but only reason im not 100% hapy with this fone is bcz it had no lock 4 the keypad so its lk a open acount haha bu i think this fone rox in a cute way

  • Can anyone tell me where i can upgrade the firmware??

  • I buy the W300i this month (Aug/2007), and it�s perfect. Before I�ve the SE K500i, and was a good change. For those who want a beatiful Phone, this is perfect. I�ve buy the white color. The memory disc of 256MB, included... so perfect to put more than 50 musics on mp3. Excelent ! Excelent. And thank�s for this site, You give me the choice.

  • Hey guys, some of my W300i's keypad buttons stopped functioning recently, and I don't know why. The 1,2,3, top left - button, and the volume down button and more... is there anyway to fix this? Thanks!

  • Thank you very much for your answer. Do 4 Gb cards already exist ? Thanks again, i think i`ll buy a 2 Gb card

  • @Symone Yes symone i had the same problem with my w300 and then its software got corrupted so i had to install new software in it and now my w300 can make mp3 a ringtone.. so i think ur software/firmware dont support that option ... Try updaating the firmware.

  • Hi there! For someone that asked earlier, this beauty supports up to 4gb Memory Stick Micro (M2) cards. I use myself a 2gb one, from Sandisk, and it works very fine!

  • Dis is great lil fone but has any1 had any software issues? I got mine last week nd already its freezing on me! Any suggestions?

  • Hey guys, this is definitely a hype phone but i got one problem with it. Some of my friends can use their mp3 as ringtunes and i can't... is it because i have it with fido and they have it with rogers or what? someone plz let me know if i can change dis problem otherwise dis phone iz da stuff

  • this phone is great and when keypad is cracking its depend to the user how they use the phone

  • I understand bantumiboy carelessly made a mistake - w300 does support M2 Memory Stick, so don't buy microSD.

  • phone is average. sound quality is best. sometimes it gets abnormal by showing "play back failed" so must turn off / on to play music again. sometimes slow processing when you have to many messages for inbox and sent messages. so hard to find other compatible micro sd brands. so if you are willing to buy sony, then go for the 2 gig. maximum video format is 176 x 144 only. I tried 320 x 340, no videos showed only sounds can be heard. overall phone is good. if you're not a picture addict but a music bumm, try the phone.you won't need you mp3 player anylonger. just make sure you have 1 or 2 Gig micro sd. Update software are available. you can view pictures by date added, etc. cool update.

  • Hi can any body tell me wheather this mobile can play videos of resolution of 176*144 or more as the screen of this is 128*160?? Thanx in advance!

  • A tip: (I suppose the majority of the w300 owners already know this, therefore I'm referring to those who don't) In order to increase the sound/volume during the mp3 reproduction through loud speaker, you can do the following: 1. Manually adjust the equalizer (almost) to the maximum; 2. Save the changes as default; 3. Every time you intend to play a music/file from your phone via loud speaker, just do that directly from the Walkman menu, not from the file's default position ("Sounds" folder usually). If you do like that, you might notice that the sound/volume is pretty much higher in comparison with playing the same file directly from the Sounds folder. Cheers!

  • the design is great the sound is good the camera is VGA but you people that are wondering about the camera its interpolated to 1.3 mpx that means you can go to the camera settings and set the resoloution to 1.3 mpx so thst means the camera is good so stop all that nonsense about VGA and buy it you wont regret it

  • its good its very good..............

  • is a nice looking phone...but has a very week soft...after 1 mounth of using it cracked!. many of the function doesnt work any more: walkman, 80% of buttons are useless now :( Now i can only call and answer

  • just now i brought this phone, if anyone knows about the phone plz tell me the advance features

  • an excellent, reliable phone and yes it does support up to or over 4gb of memoty card.

  • get it because it is excellent and really reliable and it is really good for mp3 songs and videos pictures and it has a 1.3 pixel camera and it is worth every penny you pay for it so just buy it mate.

  • very nice mp3 player in this phone. i have a 1gb m2 card in mine and it works great. but the camera . . . yeah you know!!!

  • If someone sell you w300 without 256MB M2 and datacabel then he is an a....hole

  • I just retired this phone after using it for 6 months, the 2nd longest used phone for me. I would have kept using this phone if I had not got my new Nokia. Absolutely great phone, The buttons are EXTREMELY user friendly, the battery life DOES last 400 hours even including heavy texting and calls. The music quality is almost or as good as a ipod shuffle's and the phone is dirt cheap.

  • this phone is so funky and ravin!! the only bad thing is the camera quality but i knew that when i bought it as its only a VGA camera... the music is great and its easy to use... gotta love sony's walkman phones - great idea; keep em coming!!

  • this is the best phone ever! if you are not a camera person this is it. have have had no trouble with this. it has good built in memory ( i have 80 mp3 songs stroed in it at this moment) and has long battery life. love it

  • Is the USB-cable and 256MB memory card included with the phone? (With Vodacom in SA)

  • HI PPL, i consider myself a self-proclaimed guru abt tis phone. any queries just mail me at,[email protected]. abt tis fon i have faced each & every kinda of problem wit it & overcomed it. technically spking i bout tis at 10 k bout yr. ago & still consider it worth every buck. it's a steaj today at 7.3 k. sound is gr8 amazin clarity, camera just ok, battery robust (new 1 given by service guys). i bout it 4 edge (i hav dwnladed more tan 30 gig v it it. airtel works best wit it as it supports edge, sorry hutch users. bye do comment or mail me.

  • Overall it's a good phone, except for the camera. Batery Life it's very good (9 hours talk time), sound it's loud with a good earphones, display resolution it's poor, if you don't care about the camera this phone it's an excellent choice :)

  • I have my text message ringtone as a mp3 sound, but the entire song does not play. only the first couple of seconds unlike on other mobile phones. Can anyone tell me if and how I can extend the ring?

  • how iz the sound of this phone??louder r nt??

  • battery back up is tooooooooo bad

  • it rocks i love it sony ericsson you gus ar supa

  • i love this phone no problems iam just sad that the phone did not cum whit a 2 face cover cus i got it in black

  • this unit is very cool!! yeah mine too!! it took more days to drain battery even if i listen to music every hour!!

  • well...this a great phone...very nice cool design

  • You can use a 2gb memory card on the w300. and to be honest, this is a really good phone, although im about to change it for the w960 when it gets out...

  • the coolest phone by sony ericson

  • This pnone is nice and stylish but not durable. I had this pnone for one day. It fell from my hand onto the sidewalk and that was it. It went haywire after that. I went back to the dealership and was forced to pay $250 to fix it. It worked for about two days and then stopped again. I am now yet again in search of a new phone.

  • I brought this W300i AP unit three month ago. {compny lies abt talk time and stand by battery time its only work for 15 hrs as stand by time} mine last for two days,with an average of 3 to 4 hours daily....playing mp3's,

  • sony ericson is a good mobile this phone is sound very nice

  • I brought this W300i AP unit three month ago. >>>compny lies abt talk time and stand by battery time its only work for 15 hrs as stand by time

  • cool mp3 player,superb sound system clear video recordings

  • Its good enough for its money :)

  • I brought this W300i AP unit three month ago. >>>compny lies abt talk time and stand by battery time its only work for 15 hrs as stand by time

  • 15 hours stand-by? It's a joke. Mine took more than 7 days to drain, even if I talk around 10 minutes per day...

  • is this phone better than Nokia 3110c & Nokia 3500c plz. do recommend

  • fantasic fone.really love it.stylish and works great.no probs whatsoever.great memory as well.will always have a sony ericsson handset now

  • compny lies abt talk time and stand by battery time its only work for 15 hrs as stand by time

  • anyone knows up to how many memory can I put to my w300?

  • How many time I can to recorder a video with a 237 mb memory card?

  • How many time is possible to recorder a video with the 256mb memory card? Please post your answer

  • its not the most reliable phone ive seen.im on my 3rd within the 3rd week.a word of advice is that if u connect to ur pc, go to disconnect hardware safely because my second phone had a common problem. type out white screen w300i on google and ul find alot of people have this problem where the screen goes white and black, and then ur screwed. this happened to my second phone. so my m8 said u have to safely disconect your hardware other wise it will corrupt the phone. fingures crossed this works. there are a good variely of games available although alot of the best games are too large to fit the screen. V RALLY 3D CAN BE PLAYED VIA BLUETOOTH WHICH IS ABSOLUTELY SICK.the mp3 player is good,but u need to have the artist labeled to make it work correctly.

  • Sir, I purchase W330i mobile before about 6 months. now in this porblem occuring. 1. it is turn off automatically. 2. Nothig display on Its outer screen. 3. When I open its flape its screen blink more and only white screen display and I can't see its original screen. Sir pls tell me perfact answer because i have already lost W550i before purchasing it. reply soon. What should I do? Thanks

  • anyone knows how many text messages can be stored on the W300?

  • Excellent phone all round. Its advantages overpower its downs for the all round user. I'm gonna buy this one. I've compared this one with many other phones, but this one has consistently come out on top for me. I hope Sony come out with an upgraded or better version of the W300i in the near future. Excellent stuff.

  • I bought the w300i the ending of last mth, and 1st week in July the phone not charging, when I tried to charge just a red light by the infer red port keep blinking for about 3mins and then it goes out and phone not powering at all...I took it back to the ppl and they say the flex strip got corroded because the phone got wet,which is not true can any one share some light please....

  • Pros: Sound from headphones is really good. From speaker lacks bass (as most others). Camera is good compared to a Nokia 6131 in which the photos have green lines and are very noisy. Very good battery duration. Comes with a 256mb M2 memory card. Low price. Cons: Handsfree doesn't have a volume control Camera is VGA. Night mode doesn't change anything. Overall: It offers a good features/cost ratio.

  • i think the quality of the phone body is no good.

  • this is a stupid fone it reset all d settns and deleted all my stuff off it!! the first few months was grand went down hill from thn!! pic quality is crap too!!

  • This mobile is very hot and sexy and beautiful mobile

  • Brought this W300i AP unit last month. Use it until now, don't have any calling problem, good signal, STRONG battery life, plus CUTE and SMALL design (suitable for girl, but still can use on boys with middle and big size finger). About the hand phone software, sometimes have a bit delay if you press your button/command to fast. The Walkman Features still ok, Radio fucntion not bad. After all, this handphone is NOT EXPENSIVE but with A LOT OF FEATURES (But not with high-end SE model with quality button and great megapixel built-in camera, some other have 3G too). I hope this handphone will not give me much trouble after use it for 1~3 years.

  • onybody tell me the loudspeker sound . please please please thax

  • this phone is really nice...long battery life...music player is really good..nice graphics...but the only downfall its the camera...but other then that i love it

  • i have this phone its ok it came with a 256mb now a have a 2gig in it n it works perfectly fine for me

  • very very sexy mobile

  • camera sucks..but the sound is excelent..

  • Photo Qualoty: 5 out of 10

  • Hi..to answer your question..The camera on this phone is not very good at all... It uses software to make the photos taken 1.3MP when infact they are less then 1MP( mega pixel).. I wouldnt suggest this phone for taking photos... Its great for music and the display is ok... i would look else where though if ur lookin for a good imaging device. the Nokia 6233 is great..

  • coolest fone

  • Hi guys.. I owned this phone for about 6 months and its not worth the money.. The only good feature about this phone is the music player..and its not even that good.. music has to be played through headphones to even sound half decent.. The display is ok but the camera is crap.. No where near 1.3 MP.. nice design but phone tends to get loose and becomes very annoying.. i dropped mine once and the screen just went white and it never worked again.. this is a problem i have encountered with my mates W300.. stay away!!

  • it's cooooooooool, sexy and great phone. it's sound is owesome.

  • They added a new colour to the W300, the lime green..looks good if u were sitting at the beach! :-) But for me, the black one is still the best!

  • its grt color is little poor.its lacks cam but good.does it support symbian or sis files.Can anyone help me? how can i get antivirus for that at internet?contact my email pls [email protected] give me link

  • well i just purchased this phone since i finally decided to change mine...i had a nokia 1100 phone which good for nothing really except that it wud never mash up...so was rather excited when i got this one...i read that ya'll have problems using mp3s as ur ringtones? my ringtone is an mp3 i had on my computer n with the usb i had put it in the phone memory instead of the memory stick and i put it in the ringtones folder and it worked...and it's a pity some of u didn't get a memory car and/or a usb cable with it...anyways i love this phone; it's design its features...the camera ain't all that but i don't need the camera as much cause i've got the digicam, but i love it...looks really slick in black as well

  • this is a w300i and it is a good fone i have one =D

  • dis fone is bad a and is sexy

  • This phone is GR8!!!!! play hard and live 4ever.........

  • Why $ony don't revel the processor speed of this phone like she was with w600? Good phone, but is just it...good.

  • beautifull and stylish 10/10 for design 9/10 for features and 10/10 for performence

  • i really miss my w300i!!! great phone everybody i recommend this phone...

  • this phone rocks...its cheap and has it all..sound quality is totally awesome i might say its better that an ipod.

  • the phone is cool.A+++++

  • I love this phone. I only wish the screen was bigger. I regret choosing this over the Z550i. I bought this for AU$199 while the Z550i had all the features and was only $149 on the Vodafone network. ALthough everything is great, what I don't like is the camera shutter goes off even when it's on silent. My friend took a picture during class and my phone went off! Pros: -VERY fast Bluetooth (v2.0) -Good colour quality (256k) -Radio with good reception -Great earphones -Decent memory card given Cons: -Camera very very bad quality -Camera shutter goes off in silent mode. (does anyone know if this can be reversed?) -My phone is locked to Optus Network.

  • im using a W300i right now and it was nice. i just got it 2 months ago and its still okay. it has loud sound...i use it in school..i download themes in the internet..large memory and my friends would get jealous because of it...i have uploaded 40 songs + and i still have enough memory to add more. a great device...wonderful style...my cellphone got bumped into such hard things almost 3 times and its still alive without any cracks or slashes. a great cellphone. loud..accurate...and easy to use. no problem about it actually right now.

  • have had this phone for coming up to a year and it is superb...its even waterproof ( i dont recommend intentionally bringing it into contact with any liquid though!! the photos are poor in comparison with other models but the other features alone are great...if it had 3g it would be perfect.

  • i brought this for 2 month ago for �50 which is cheap and you gt �30 pound earphones with it its so cheap and 256 mem card .......the only thing wrong is the camera if this was improved it would b a gr8 fone...its worth the money tho

  • I just got a used W300i, due to my V3 is broke down. Any one can tell me how do I use multi alarm set up. I onle can used 1 alarm. Thanks.

  • I have a PDA which has blueetooth, and I would like to know if I can link the PDA with the W300 via bluetooth and get the PDA conected to the internet though the phone? Thanks... TAKE CARE, BEHAVE BADLY AND BE HAPPY...

  • got this fone goin on a year now.really lik it.its really nice 2 hold.not as heavy as it looks.the only real problem i have with it is that that the camera is filth.that just spoiled the whole fone.cheap motorolas like the v300 gives a better pic!!!

  • this fone is the best for this price. the mp3 player is very good, the battery too.

  • brilliant phone! i have a 1gb card in this (which is alot for a vga/1.3mp camera). works great with cool applications like opera mini, aurora (streaming you tube videos), bluepulse, face warp and lots more. every thing is well. WHAT FEATURE IT HAS IS WHAT IT IS. its a camera, a radio, a mp3 player, an internet terminal, voice recorder, a gaming device and much more. great mobile.

  • is this phone the best ever? i'm planning to get one.. guys, when you bought this phone, did it come with a memory card? thanks:)

  • Great phone, The design is love or hate, which is good. It is rare, it has everything you want from a phone, it is quick, pretty durable (I personally dropped this phone at least 20 times - noting happened). And the best of all it is cheap - which when you are 22 matters! Actually they stopped selling the phone because it is pretty much the same as w710 but half the price.

  • Hey Guys, Im looking to buy this phone, has anyone been able to customize a anything about it, i love to customize phones to make them unique as me. please let me know if you did. thanx

  • hi pls tell me where to get real player for w300i,my mail id is [email protected]

  • can anyone pls. tel me if bluetooth is A2DP

  • heyy ok can someone help me i cant put my mp3's as a ringtone!!! ???

  • this celly rockssss

  • It's a really cute phone indeed. Sound quality is amazing, especially when listening to mp3 music using headphones. The built-in camera is the phone's "week spot", but if you only want a good phone, with a lot of available features and a cool design, this probably is the phone for you.

  • can u tell me how to put mp3 as ringstones i would be very very happy my address is [email protected]

  • There's quite a lot of games and softwares for it all u gota do is look and download any java application or game and install on the phone das all.

  • This phone i bought few months back...bit fancy design...but charge,mp3,voice clarity...superb.The only problem with this phone is VGA.Those who r looking for Camera phone....Big No to this model.

  • this phone rulez

  • A nice phone with a very easy-to-work keybad,like coins. camera is not powerful enough and there are not many games and softs for it. Working with phone is very easy.I hope future phone with same coiny design come.

  • it's a good phone nice reception and easy to use. The desing is the best aspect of it. enjoy.

  • this phone is the smallest of my Walkman phone family ^^ all her siblings are also in white color ^^ I adore this little one, it's practical and cute. One thing i love the MOST is the keypad. It's so easy to type with, i can type really, I mean really fast with this phone. Love it!! And the walkman player is also nice. And the 256mb memory card is a nice bonus too

  • HEHEHE... i bought the fone like a few weeks ago because of the walkman but the main problem is that if i want to use the mp3 as ringtones i have to have it unloked.. but so far its the best fone ive had( had lots fone addik) hahaha have fun with ur fones!

  • I would like to ask can SMS messages be saved/stored/transferred in Memory Card Memory Stick? Kindly answer!!

  • another thing can you put themes on it

  • im looking at buyin it 4 �50 its a walkman fone and i think its cheap what you think ppl

  • I ve just used this phone for 5 months and the screen has suddenly gone blind so also has the earpiece stopped functioning. when i dial i don^t hear nothing,no ring sounds,and i can^t hear the voice of the person on the other side.also,when someone calls me,i cannot hear the person too.what exactly is the problem and what should i do about it?

  • hey guys. may i ask sumthing 4 those who olready owned this w300i. do it support flash theme? i've seen it in the youtube. it looks pretty nice. just asking for confirmation. :) thanks.

  • The songs play well loud on walkman if you manually adjust the equaliser to full-then even volume level 1 is proper loud

  • wat does "interpolated to 1.3 mp" mean? it says it has vga cam interpolated to 1.3.. how is the volume of the songs? Is it low?

  • This phone is like proper good- it has crappy little camera thing but the screen is allright you know- the walkman part is the best though- it's proper hi-tech and everything is like proper easy to use- i use to have like some sagem phone thing yeah- but this one is much better

  • Sony Ericsson jus needs to improve to quality of the pics for this phone!

  • its rocks wthout cam.confused about video quality can help me use pc suit by my email

  • ive been using the W300i for the past 5 months and i absolutely love the phone. i havent faced any problems so far... nothin... zilch. its ultra small too. the only thing i feel lackin is the battery talk time. i feel its a bit shorter for me as compared to the 9hrs talktime according to the company.

  • HI everyone I bought a new W300i 3 days ago, i am in love with this phone. I like the way it looks and i realy like the clear music that it is capable of playing. But the only drawback is the camera, if the camera was a little clear it would have been a more cooler phone. But all you music lovers can go for this cool phone.

  • this phone is really fine. for the cam the phone is useless. gr8 sound, try it with the portable speakers u will iuv it. gr8 battery back time. cute in black.

  • Hello to everyone! I bought my W300i just a month ago and it was awesome. Both stereo and mp3 player are great. Not to mention this is "The smallest in the se walkman series". This small size gadget will definitely gives you quality sounds just the way you want to hear it because of its options. Another is the voice control, still exploring on how to use this option. Although this phone have a vga camera or 0.3 megapixel, well at least can take pictures. For those who wanted to value their phone with nice camera, just prefer to buy a digicam instead because when it comes to music there's no upgrading unlike the camera megapixels.

  • Can the W300 use Mp3's as ringtones?

  • the screen is quite small wen im sending games i dont see all the picture

  • Hello guys, I own a w300i, it is beautiful, the walkman feature is great, however 2 major problems: 1- it is based on java, so you cannot install .sis (symbian installer) files on it, while Nokia 60 series like 6600 are compatible with both .jar and .sis files 2- the camera is not cool! I tested it; the best quality was 640*480 pixels Thanks, Farshad

  • the mp3 i very satisfied but i really don't like the camera because is not clear at all.WHat my phone has happen is,it always hanging down.pls helP!!!

  • Melissa speak for yourself when you say nokias can hack water in them...evry single noka I have had (over 15 different models I am a phone finatic) never turns out the way they are advertised...the 2 that fell in water borke immediatly not even the shops could fix it...nkia is terrible...my advice to youis next time keep your phone away from water...

  • Hi to all of you! I bought this phone a month ago. So, I'm impressed. I'm all for music player + phone in one, and walkman phones are the best out there. Then, it's obvious that I don't care about camera. Still, there is one and is not so bad for sporadic use in case of emergency need for camera. Beside camera, the only drawback would be a relativly small display. But, again, I don't care - it's good enough for all my needs. Sound is simply amazing. Other features and performance are excellent. This phone has far more pros then cons, and great cost to features ratio. I'm very very satisfied. Plus, just to mention, IMHO (it's a matter of taste) this is the hottest walkman phone available. I think it's design is better then any other walkman phone's. So, it's really cool.

  • Interpolation is the process used to zoom digitally, and the one your PC uses to resize pictures and video. It tries to "guess" more pixels to make the image bigger, so it doesn't really show any more details as it doesn't "see" any more. In short, the real max resolution of this phone is 640x480.

  • VGA, 640x480 pixels (interpolated to 1.3 MP), video(QCIF) interpolated to 1.3 ????? whats that?

  • I loved this phone it was one of my favourites,the only thing is, i got alittle bit of water in it adn it messed up the entire phone. Meanwhile, most nokia phones can handle that.. this one couldnt. Also, after a couple weeks the top part seemed flimsy/ unstable

  • i really love this phone,its a must have with superb features.if you dont have it then you must be outdated n old fashioned.

  • hey ladies and gents a think that this is a realy good phone but the design is terrible but most Sony Ericsson Phones r really good for memory and the walkman mp3 os good becuse it holds lots of songs thats all a want to say so aill see u all later!!!!

  • Hi guys i design soft ware for sony erricson and there is away to improve ur foto quality i have a internet site where u can download the software 4 free just email me.

  • Its a better low cost walkman from Sony Ericcson. But it looks like a Toy.

  • this mobile is great i loved but is like a litle baby is veri veri sencible i hate that an the pictures are horrible

  • It is by far the best phone i've ever had but the pictures are a little grainy.

  • i really think it's a great phone,allmost perfect...buuuuuuuut caaaaaameeeera... pictures are horrible! whyyyyyyyyyyy!?! o why...........!!!

  • I enjoy my w300i alot. Until its software crashed resently. I'll like to know how this could happen and how to rectify this?

  • My friend just bought this phone and i dont like the look of it but i love the features could u PLZ help me how to get vids onto it email me at [email protected]

  • As far as music is concerned, this mob is appropriate for it but the photos taken from the camera which is quoted as "interpolated to 1.3 Mpx" is really awsome. The pictures are almost unrecognizable.

  • ppl plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz some1 tell me howa to update my software v. i really need it ( [email protected] )

  • Nice handset model .. attractive flip and user friendly too .. utilise and feel the differnce ... by kalai(v)ani

  • Im not so sure bout "Interpolated to 1.3 megapxls", but on my experience with my k300i, i think it means that eventhough the camera is just 0.3mpx, it has the ability to capture photos and produce a size close to what a 1.3mpx camera can produce. normal vga cam can render 640x480 images right? but SE's interpolated vga cam's can also produce image size of up to over 1024x768pxls resolution, like SE K300i, thats all i can say..

  • well I bought this mobil one week ago, the music is amazing, real audio, but the camera is very very bad. the pictures taken are ugly.

  • plz e-mail me flash animated theme of w300i at [email protected]

  • Can anyone tell me how well the phone sync software works with outlook.

  • What end is this phone? i thinks its a mid-high phone cause it has all the things high end phones have ( heard it has nearly identical software the w810 has) the resolution isn't that bad just above average. ok the camera is the only thing that doesn't make it a real high end phone but if you download an application called facewarp the photos look much better.

  • it costs 160$ and comes with a 256mb card,hpm-70(market best) earfones,charger,datacabel,ear buds,manual,and 3 style-up covers (red,black,orange,white)

  • well please some one send me the built-in club pulse.thm file at [email protected] (not com) plz i really need it its a flash theme

  • What is meant by camera VGA640x480 pixels (interpolated to 1.3 MP) ?

  • well please some one send me the built-in club pulse.thm file at [email protected] (not com) plz i really need it its a flash theme

  • -Saandeep, you can't instal files with the extension .sis on this phone, just in smartphones. the games you can install in w300 have .jar extension, and to install you have to put them in the "others" folder in the fone memory or in the card. Then you select them to install.

  • In this site "phone.mobile9.com " I saw many games and softwares for W300i. Can u please tell me where to paste i mean in which folder should i paste in the memory card to run this games and software. Its extension file is .sis Please do reply

  • this phone is good if u dont care on camera!lol.. but it's sound is just simply amazing!

  • I can't stand the buttons on this phone. They overlap and I'm constantly making typos in text messages because of it.

  • Hey, anyone who can help me with this phone since I dropped it into water unexpected, then the battery died I guess. No ring, no power on. What shall I do? Thanks for help. Maria San Francisco

  • I have stored 150 songs on my w300 256 m2 memory card.this fone is the bomb,it has all the features of an mp3 player and a phone and also the 3d gaming is best.sony 4 life!

  • i like this phone more than the w200.. w2oo sucks!!!

  • ei wondering... when i boughr this fone a few months back it came with a USB connector, earphone, charger, 2 manuals a CD, and 2 extra pairs of earpiece with different syle and a memory card... ayt..

  • hy all!!thos fone is great!!i baught it 1 month ago and im speecless!!the walkman fone is great!!baterry life good (about 2-3 days depending on how much i listen)!!so far i don't have any problems!!the only con for this fone it;s the crappy camera!!i don't know about applications !!i hope it has!!

  • actually the mp3 is SUPERRR GREATTT!!! and flight mode is cool :D when u buy the phone a free 256MB memory card should come with it. I haven't had any big problems (it shutting off for no reason etc.) with this fone and the keypads are cute :D they can get annoying tho if ur hands are sweaty :P and the battery is really good... it sometimes stays alive for a whole week :D The camera isn't too great but if u change the picture size to extended its okey and it has nice effects lke black and white or negative :D the frames are super cute..there is one that looks like mona lisa or elvis :D The music dj is reaalllyyy fun :D it's a good mp3 fone :D i give it a 8/10 :D

  • the camera succckssss!!!!

  • i have this fone and it's okeyyy...bad things are that if u buy the white one it gets dirty really easly and it scratches easly...so buy the black one :D i'm starting to get superrr bored of it so i'm buying a new fone :D hehe... i haven't even had this yet for a year yet lol it's a good fone tho and the mp3 player is good :D

  • or what would work if tooth pste wouldn't PLZ help!

  • would tooth paste work?

  • does any1 know how 2 a fix physical chip and scratches?

  • As a phone, this is just ok. The camera is satisfactory, the screen could be better but does the job, the user interface is good and so are most of the other features. Overall, nothing bad about the phone really (apart from the design-a little iffy but not too bad, and get it in black-looks a lot better than the white one). I owned this phone a year ago, and i now own a K800I. You may be thinking that i may be being a bit harsh as you cannot really compare the K800 with the W300, and you will be right, perhaps my expectations are way higher now i have a K800. However, the point that i am making is that i am just about to go out and buy another. Why you may be asking? Because, well, THE WALKMAN MP3 PLAYER IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!! Its quite simply perfection. The sound quality is brilliant, you can search for tracks by artists, album names etc and the earphones that this phone comes with are brilliant. I have been looking for an MP3 player for around �60 for a few months now (music playback on k800 not that great-but its not a walkman phone so it wouldnt be), and i have found nothing that would beat the music capabilities of this bad boy for this price. I wont be using it as a phone atall, just as an MP3 player (yes its that good) although as a previous user of this model, i can say that for a casual user or for those who dont want to spend much on a phone, this is the one to go for.

  • How do i upload mp3 onto my brand new W300i??

  • umm.. i was thinking about buying this phone but i would like it if someone could tell me the box contents and how much the usb cords are in australia.. send to: [email protected]

  • umm does any1 think that SE Z310 is a good fone to get cus thats with voda fone n does it hav video camera

  • Best cell of sony and one of those marks...

  • The phone is not available on Vodafone-

  • hey again. ok i just read a bit more and realized a usb dnt come with this phone,, so can some please send me a email telling me how much the cable is in australia.. thanks again cya

  • The Sony Ericsson is a good phone, but trust me when i say that when u see the phone on the web u think that it is more than the reality of the cellphone. My Provider give me 1 year guaranty on the phone and when i had only 2 months and a half with the cellphone, everytime i close it the cell shuts down, and my service provider had to change it. The new cellphone, same model, give me the same problem but just some times, not ever like the old. How can i say it, the phone is good, everytime u don't get this error. I'm agree with the one that says that the pics quality is really poor so if u are looking for a good camera cellphone, this is not your model. I'm thinking right know to change my cellphone because i don't feel fine with a Flip Phone.

  • To use mp3 as ringtone, select the song from the filemanger, click options > use as ringtone�. Very easy process. Please make sure that you are doing the same way.

  • Hello all, I bought this phone 1 month back. In budgetary point, this is the best midrange phone available in market. I have done a research on midrange phones of all major companies. I bought this for 70 Omani riyals ie 7700 INR. With one year warranty. 256 MB memory card is available. And guys out there please read the manual properly before reaching into any conclusion. Using the software provided with the phone, you can do wonders . You can copy mp3 or images TO and From the phone. Can save upto 70 songs. There is expandable slot also . The walkman headset is very good one. I use to listen music every time, and the battery backup is more than 2 days. There are options of forwarding songs, which is not present in the SE750i. Also memorywise this is better than SE750i. The joystick of low end SE phones including K750 i�will be spoiled very easily� But w300i is very nice�Iam very much satisfied with this..It gave me more than wat I wanted. Also you will get cable to connect to your television set also. Themes are good nice ones. The only poor thing is camera(a normal VGA, same as that of a k310i) . I did not prefer a phone with camera, hence if you are looking for a camera mobile, don�t go for this� All other guys, this is the best midrange phone ever. If your budget is less than 8k, Go ahead�..this is ur phone.

  • The camera clearity is very bad & Some video graphics are not clear there is also no option to continue in fullscreen mode But the sound quality is good

  • For all of you out there who like music W300 is the way to go. Listing to musinc in mega bass mode is awesome. Camera is good for a VGA. Battery life is good. Overall a great phone for its price.

  • hello !!! is this phone good because i would like it for my birthday soooo u no ! . . .

  • the reason for the hook at the back is to keep the speaker off the surface so ringtones could be heard, without that you will miss some calls. so stop hating. email [email protected]

  • you can use a 1gb card in this phone and it is currently compatible with the 2gb card. email [email protected] if you want your questions answered.

  • I just got the W300 from Fido a week ago on a contract renewal. The phone looks nice, but my previous phone, a simple Nokia, had clearer reception, a clearer speakerphone, and was able to receive a signal in a few places where this phone cannot. The main reason I switched phones was to get an mp3 player, because I would rather carry one device instead of two. I haven't had a chance to try out the Walkman feature, but I hope it works well and has good sound. Overall I am reasonably satisfied with the phone. To be more satisfied, I'd like a better camera and more memory built in or on the included card. I give this phone a 7 out of 10. I have to add I'm disappointed at the discrepancy between how Fido treats new versus repeating customers. I did get back the $25 charge for the phone (free to new customers @ Best Buy!) after calling and complaining, but new customers also get things like a car charger and Blue Tooth receiver. It doesn't seem sound long-term business policy for repeating customers to be rewarded for their loyalty by getting less than brand new customers.Customers tend to remember that kind of thing!!

  • hey can some 1 plz tell me if u get the data cable with the fone plz reply at [email protected]

  • ye pplz i had a moto pebl before but this is slightly better because of the mem sticj but the screen is jus a lil too small

  • I am planng to buy a flip phone in walkman series n was wondering which to choose? - 300i or 710i???? i kind of liked 300i's external features including keypad design & color when compared to that of 710...prefer the black / silver to the sporty one...and the rubber pad of 710 slipping off is puting me in further confusion. n is 710 too bulky to handle single handedly?? i've gone thru the lines n am bit concern about the speaker volume of both....am not fussy about camera & its specifications....music is on my mind for buying so wud love to know more on the walkman quality in both...Can i have some genuine opinions plz??? thanks, niharika

  • This phone is awesome, gives you great battery life, awesome earphones, great walkman player, very good camera people say that they could believe it was a two mega pixel the only thing i dont realli like about this phone is the hook on the back but overall this phone very good highly recommended

  • whattttttttttttttttttttttt this phone is a good phone what do u lot what its a phone you call and you texts get a live errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr my tv will not take photos come on use it for what is made for

  • sunny, I don't know if the master reset is effective for the virus, nor the preset themes could be recovered. But if you want to secure the themes, you can forward the files to the memory card, then you reset the phone.

  • guys the camera is great if you know how to use it. you bought the phone take a pic & it suck but you do nothing to make the results better. guys to get better results you have to change the picture size to extended which is 1.3 megapixel. when your taking a picture hold the phone side ways with the keypad in your left hand (keypad in right hand if taking a picture of yourself). after the picture is saved go to the folder the picture is saved in and view the picture. click more then click rotate OK. email [email protected] if you have any questions about the w300i

  • My mobile got infected with virus and now i want to do " Master reset" to remove virus. All my files will be deleted but i want to know one thing, Does my themes which was given at the time of purchase will be deleted or not? Starting i gor 4 themes, Will that be deleted or remain as it is after doing master reset??? Will my mobile will be free from virus after doing Master Reset???

  • A really good phone... 6 hours of music someone said... thats a lie! i used 10 hours (on a bus) playing all the time, and have more to give... poor camera quallity... thats right.. but it�s not a camera phone, my k300 was better taking photos.. Really strong, good soft, you can listen music and use the phone wihtout any problems. good headset, good sound, if you use your RCA cable you can listen with a GREAT quiality, try it on a good stereo. Personally i found a littlr unconfontable the keys... but IT�S really cheap for the functions it have

  • THE BAD: Really bad camera. Useless at low light. Small and low resolution display. Not possible to watch videos in landscape orientation, which makes the actual resolution even worse since you cannot use the whole area of the display. Almost useless external display. Expensive M2 card. 6 hours batt live when listening to music Not possible to charge the phone while listening to music, unless you buy an expensive Y adaptor. The external buttons do not work ok. You hear clicks and pops during transitions between songs, very annoying. No crossfading. THE GOOD: I bought it very cheap. And it is kinda cool.

  • batery 2 days but I think is to small. Camera is bad... VGA is horible... Iam sorry but my English is not perfect :D :P

  • this phone is the dumbest phone in the world...sometimes when i call people, the screen goes black, and when i play the music player, it freezes...this is the worst phone ever...

  • really good phone lasts like 2-3 days without charging. bad parts are the camera sucks and the memory cards are expensive.

  • well this fone has i think better mp3 toones than d900 and its far louder than d900, w800,w810,k750,k610,k550i n70 and display is really comparable with w810 only resolution is less flash animated themes are cooooool this fone is slightly louder than w810i and the fone offer EDGE thanks GOD thats the main thing which makes it superior than old w-series clamshell is absolutely comfortable and keypad is fine reception is best and radio of all sony's is fabulous only nokia lacks good radio display size is same of w800 k750 and the fone is really reliable i had use ROKR E1 thats very veryvery reliable and durable even the fone was dropped in water by me and 100% wet but worked fine ok i love the headfones that were included with rokr e1 they were far better than HPM-70 headfones (walkman headfone) well moto and sony i love both of u and i'll recommend these 2 fones to every one who dont care for camera but w300i camera is very fine in 1280x968 pix and rokr camera has best vga quality

  • Whats all come with the box itself. Can u please clear as i had buy one handset, and i had some doubt.

  • I bought the phone 4 days ago and have been using it for 3 days. Haven't used all the features yet, but it seems like a really decent phone. I bought it based on two main criteria that i looked for in a phone: 1. Decent battery life 2. To use for texting and making calls 3. It had to be a clam shell So far i've been using it for 3 days and the battery still indicates that it has 66% more charge left (another 6 days). I haven't been using the phone that much other than for a few texts and a few short phone calls, but it definately indicates it will last at least 3 times longer than my previous phone (Samsung D600). So far i'm very impressed With regards to texting the phone makes this easy to do and it is very user friendly. Phone calls are clearer and the reception is stronger than my D600. So all 3 criteria have been met. Ok the camera is not the greatest, and the screen resolution doesn't compare to the excellent clarity of my Samsung D900, and the mp3 ringtones are slightly less pleasing to the ear as my D600 (the W300 sounds more tinny, but it is bearable), but that is probably why the battery lasts so much longer, and this is exactly why i bought the phone. The phone is light weight and quite small (not too small though). The only other small irritation i have is that the vibration (when on silent) isn't as powerful as i had hoped, so i have missed one or two calls when the phone has been in my pocket. So far a great phone, and very good value for money.

  • I've used this phone, sorry... it's more useful and feels a lot better to hold a piece of dog C-R-A-P in your hand than this... I would like to recommend you to avoid this phone... It's not good at all Horrible camera (the colors are way off) Horrible keypad (unconfortable, by looking at it, how much would you like to NOT buy this phone) Horrible LCD, any car stereo has 3 times the resolution than this does, and I'm not joking Outer lcd is useless Bulky design Slow USB performance Battery charge lasts 2-3 days max. Outer buttons are useless aswell Spend the money on postal service, it will be more reliable.

  • When you have the phone at your ear, its a little uncomfortable becos of the design of the hinges for the flip.

  • where to download club pulse theme for w300i?? the flash anime theme???????? only pc download

  • The walkman phones are the best music phones on the market. you can use the bigger headphones for a louder clearer sound and you can plug the music cable in your radio for loud wicked music to blow your roof off. buy it. i say its better than a 2gb ipod. this phone is wicked.

  • Got the phone, really satisfied with it. I like everything on the phone exept the camera.

  • yes the camera is not upto the mark

  • on the next week i gonna get one of them i wanna know how is it?? is a good phone ?? somebody told me camera is so bad... is that true?? i gonna pay 200$ for the phone next week so i need to do a good business...if somebody can tell me something I`LL appreciatte it...

  • It�s the best in my opinion

  • sony ericsson w300 is great..i have it for almost 3 months and its great..its camera is not a problem..and its so beautiful..its design is so cute..i wonder why others dont like its keypad..its so cute..anyweiz..i recommend this to all..its a great fone..

  • Hey I was thinking about getting this phone and just wondering how long your text message max is coz i hate having to write two separate msgs. Also how does this phone compare in performance to teh Motorola RAZR V3 as they are the same price, which one should i get???? thanx

  • this is a great fone for a reasonable price, nokia have 1 like this i think its the 6060 and are charging $450,,,rip off,,,this fone is exactly the same,,,pretty much, great overall fone definately buy it,,,only con is that in my frends fone (same as this) his speaker went out cause he played music 2 loud,,,got it fixed tho,,,my speaker is fine tho, xcept it cut out once but i turned it off then on nd everyting was fine, so yeah best fone eva 4 this price!!!!!!!!!! definately get it

  • I got the w300 a week ago, & i'm really impressed with it. The video is good,MP3 player is wonderful & the radio is as clear as ever.I'd recommend it, cuz music & video transfer is easy, and it is compact.. the same size as the Z300,with NASA technology in it.

  • I love my phone it is just the camera that is very bad.

  • hi every body i have W550i,and i want to change it with w300. Can you help me that in compare with my w550i ,is it a good phone?

  • Why cant i use mp3's as ringtones?????

  • Does anyone know which bluetooth ear set works best with the Sony ericsson w300i. The bluetooth earpiece has had trouble recognizing my voice for voice dial. I have tried the Jabra 250v and the Scala 500, both highly regarded ear sets

  • can we upgrade the cam to 1.3mp or 2mp.How can we interpolate the cam to 1.3mp

  • yeah it does have a blue tooth version 2.0

  • I just bought this phone 3 days ago. I chose it over k750i, because it's cheaper and I was reluctant to buy k750 because of the joystick. I had a k608 before, which got stolen, and it had joystick issues after a month and a half of use. Though, I love SE phones over Nokia, the drawback will always be the joystick. Advantages - Nice design. Cute and small - The speaker is and sound quality is great! Disadvantages - It can play WMA files, and some MP3 files when you transfer files by just copy and pasting like using it a a flash drive... BUT, when you use Disc2Phone to transfer music files from your PC to phone, even if it's WMA, it will be converted to MP3 that can be played on the phone! Awesome! :P - The camera, isn't really that good cause it only VGA. Overall the phone is 8/10! :) If you're looking for a walkman phone, and just a basic cam phone, then this is the right choice! :)

  • What version of bluetooth does the sony ericsson w300i have? eg: sony ericsson k750i bluetooth v2.0

  • i also wonder why every time when i push the stop/pause button when the flap is closed it wouldn't start the walkman. I made sure i configured it to start walkman and not the radio. It will not start the walkman in speaker mode.. it needs the head set.. is it the behaviour or is my phone acting wierd?

  • how many sms messages can it store?

  • There're no many secret's about this one, this only thing that actually sucks it's the keyboard, (buttons) after few months in use they touch and doesn't feel good at all.. sorry for my english I did what I could, I hope this help you, bye bye

  • 1.w300i 2.w700i 3.w550i 4.w810i i ranked them from the best to the worst

  • I have been using this cell for 2 weeks, generally I am satisfied with it, but I noticed that the sound is not so clear. I hear lots of noise, especially when I put it with low volume... I tried with different level of compression of the files, but the result is the same. Is this a deffect of this unit in particular?

  • I bought this cell a month ago but its font of sms is so bad that can't be read easily.Please any one kindly tell me how can I change its font?is there any software for changing the font to be downloaded in the phone.Because the Sony representatives say that the font can't be changed.Thanks in Advance

  • I transfered many pictures and audios from many mobiles through bluetooth and now i think my phone runs slowly as before. I think it got attacked with virus.. I saw the option in the mobile called " Format M.S" . If i format, all the data will be lost and i want to know wheather my mobile software will be lost or it will be there as before.. Please help me before i do mistakes... Thanks

  • the w300 is a good phone however the camera is worse than a vga it is supposed to have excellent sound but mine was very low so i asked for a refund but the headset that comes with it is very loud the keypad is fine and the display could be abit better

  • I am on a private survey of mobile phone user setisfaction.we need ur co-operation to get statistics.please rank these phones in order 1.w300i 2.w550i 3.w700i 4.w810i #############thank you######################

  • @ Riob: W300 has a beter sceen than Z530 and worse than w700. The screen of the z530 is UBC 65000 colors and the other 2 have TFT 262000 colors. Both w300 and z530 are 128x160 pix and the w700 is 176x220.

  • I have a Soney Ericsson w300 and i is the best phone i have ever had, the only downside is the screen isnt that big and the camera isnt a megapixel. Ive dowloaded tones of themes for it and games all for free. Adding music to the w300 is so easy and i love it. Overall i give this phone an 8

  • I bought this cell a month ago but its font of sms is so bad that can't be read easily.Please any one kindly tell me how can I change its font?is there any software for changing the font to be downloaded in the phone.Because the Sony representatives say that the font can't be changed.Thanks in Advance

  • "This is the best phone in the world." 1 - I love this sort of comments, you surely tested all other 32748 phones already. 2 - I do agree that it's a nice mobile, but to be considered good it should be reliable to begin with. Before SE ever sort out the crashing issues you can't consider the w300 as a serious communication device.

  • This is my sixth phone (after motorola talkabout, t105, t230, t610 and p800) and the keys of w300 is as good if not better than any of them except for the talkabout which had an ultra comfortable rubber keypad. (yes the p800 had touchscreen but only talking about the keypad) i find the speaker a bit louder than w700 (though i dont use it much). the only problem is i am not able to play the cricket games due to the smaller screen battery life is smashing isnt it?

  • This is the best phone in the world.

  • I have had this phone for a month now. The keypad took a little getting used to but now I have the hang of it and I don't have small fingers. I very much enjoy this phone. I like the fact that it's a clamshell and mp3, I don't have to worry about locking the keys all the time. I am also curious if the 2gb m2 will slow the phone down at all. I am currently interested in purchasing more memory.

  • How well does the phone work with a 2gb m2 card. i wanna buy one but i dont want my phone to slow down. is it going to slow down or stay at the same speed as the 256 mb card. please answer this question even if your not sure. just lie to me. thanks!

  • What is listening to and flicking through music like? Is it easy and fast? I notice it has that button on the side, but it looks really uncomfortable. Also what is the interface like? Is it like all the other sony erricson phones? And is the phone really bulky? Thanks.

  • It's a cool phone - I agree, but anyone who says the keypad is 'comfortable' either has matchsticks for fingers or has never used any other phone before.

  • I think the w300 is a wonderful phone.I always say that i do not want any flip phones but when i say the w300 i said i have to get one. My only problem is the is not much security on it Sony Ericsson need more security on their phones eg. APPLICATION LOCK is a wonderful feature that every phone should have.

  • cool PhOne...

  • Flight mode : shut down and when starting choose the music mode keypad : very comfortable.. unless one has fingers of the size of elephant

  • hi i am thinking to buy this phone i have two question can i record songs from radio and can i create folders in main screen

  • Q: Is the keypad good? A: It's terrible!

  • Hey all i am very impressed with this phone! my question is that is the keypad good? is it a copied version of the z530 but with the walkman option?but how is the sound quality of the headset ?

  • Hi i got the information that this mobile has flight mode, but i searched in the mobile for that option but failed. Plz can any one tell me where to look this option " Flight mode" Thank u Swathi

  • i wanna buy this fone but there 1 small thing i wanna no about it has this fone got a cable that goes from the fone 2 the computer coz i wanna get songs plz help

  • The phone charges during usb connection!!!!!!!

  • Hello there!! I am in the Netherlands and I just bought the phone a few days ago. I saw your question and I thought it would be nice if I could help u out. The memory card is on the side of the phone when u take the back cover off. U don�t have to take out the battery to see it!!! All the best!!

  • WHERE is the memeory card slot on this phone???iz it beaneath the battery???? pleases help

  • This phone is excellent. Good-1.excellent battery 2.loud and clear sound 3.enough memory 4.bluetooth Bad-1.memory stick costly I got this phone for Rs. 8800 and is working excellently. If any doubts e-mail me at my id.

  • i've had this phone for a while now and it has been faithful to me, the only problem i've had is that the screen will go all white and the only way to get it back to normal is to take the battery out and turn it back on. other than that the W300i is funky and efficient with music. gotta love music

  • this phone supports up to 1gb m2 card. a single battery charge, when playing songs, not just lasts for 12 hours. it can take you up to 20 hours, or 28 hours if you use the walkman application solely (walkman/flight mode). i recommend you buy this phone. at a cheap price, you'll be contented as if you're using a w710 although not having a nice camera (you can just a buy a digicam). this phone sounds great; the mono speaker is really loud but not as loud as w550's which is stereo-channeled. although somehow bulky in the pocket, don't expect it to be heavy; it's very lightweight. again, this is a MUST-BUY! :)

  • Can anybody tell me its internal screen size(in inches). thnx

  • Hi, I got this mobile last month and i am very much satisfied with this phone. In India i got this at 8750/-.It has bluetooth, Infrared, 256 memory, USB cable, Walkman series, Radio, Extendable memory, Beautiful themes, Games, Softwares and average Camera. But day light photo graphs are good with this cam. First i too worried about the cam but insted of paying 5500 extra for W810 i, i can buy a digital camera with 6.0 Mega Pixels by adding some more money. So friends this mobile is perfect in all and battery back up is simply good. On 100% charging, i can listen 12 hrs continious songs with high volume.. Hats off this phone. To those persons who wants to check the camera clarity, Mail ur ID to this "[email protected]". I will send pics taken by my cam. Bye

  • hey sasi, i own a w300i but out of those three phones, i have to say the w550i tops it all. it's a reliable phone. if i could trade my w300i for a w550i, i would. my mate owns one, very good phone. my w300i is running on a 1gb m2 memory card so therefore, it does support 1gb. if you want sound and camera quality, i suggest w550i. the camera from my phone isn't that good. it's not a big issue for me because i don't touch my camera. but the w700i, not that good on sound compare to w300i and w550i. if you're still not satisfied, then just chip out a few hundred more and go for the w850i. it has everything you need. i hope this has helped you. goodluck.

  • hi guys!!.I am looking forward to buy a walkman phone.at first i thought of buying w300i.but some people told me that camera is very bad for w300i.so I shifted my views to w55oi.but It has got non-expandable 256mb.so my views are forced towards w700i.no matter the phone is excellent...the camera is very good.but I did'nt like the design of that phone.and that..... joystick as well...It is very smooth enabling it to wear quickly.I didn't see the clarity of w300i camera practically.i was just told so...some others told me to buy nokia 5300/5200 xpress music..but i don't like their stereo headsets.Any way,I decided to buy SE walkman mobile phone only..but which one...??? please suggest me with details...w300i or w550i or w700i???Does SE w300i give clear pic like that of w700i or w550i????are extra options like editing pics,effects like auto level etc are available in w300i?????? help me please

  • me encanta este celular es super completo y ademas tiene suficiente memoria para un telefono celular.... y ademas la presentacion es divina el color de blanco con naranja es lindo.

  • hey guys i bought this phone last week but it doesnt have memory card,does w300i support 1 gb memory card?

  • isnot it available anywhere else

  • to download clublight theme- go to internet services and sony ericsson- then look under themes, all the themes there are free to download straight to your w300i

  • hey guys,i have a prob with my walkman. when i play music in the walkman player,the music stops and it makes this buzzing noise. this very loud buzzing noise. at first, i thought it was the bit-rate (compression). i've tried: 128,160,192,320kbps and they all make the buzzing noise at certain times. anyone know what the problem is?

  • some one know where to download clublight theme (one preinstalled when the fone comes) THIS THEME IS FLASH MENU COMPATIBLE

  • Hi All,Two Weeks back I bought this and I am very satisfied with the performance. It is stylish (Flip Phone).Hasall the features under budget . The only difference between this and w810i is Camera...but do not forget comapring prize ...diff. of 4k to 5k. Voice qauality is awesome, loud.The only thing that could bug me the VGA camera..but its really good and very much comparable with 1.3 megapix.Battery backup is good.

  • hi, I got this mobile 1 month back. I got 2 problems.. First problem is that my memory card is showing 237 MB only. And the second problem is that when i am connecting my mobile to any PC,at the time of removing it is showing "try it later". I want to know why this happens.. Plz help me out.. THx

  • I bought today this phone..What can i say,for me,it wasn't that cheap.but i think it's worth every penny i invested in it.i'm satisfied and i hope that i won't change my mind in a couple of weeks..buy it..good sound quality...radio...nice stereo speakers...good phone

  • Dont drop the phone 2 much or it will go quiet

  • look man i own a w300i for 2months now, it it a real great phone it matches up to w810i no regret. although the w800 sounds a bit louder the w800 has no edgewhich is bad! also the screen has less protection than the w300 ( clamshell screens are better protected) the camera is 1.3mpx take a extended phot at daytime when the sun is out u will see then if it is vga or 1.3mpx. one thing don't take photos at night though can't see hardly anyting.don't care if w810 has led light i use my torch or my w300i lcd screen it's bright enough for me.

  • Ei guys i have a question... Hopefully someone will answer this. Its about the memory card Is it ok to use a Micro SD card instead of Sony Memory Stick Micro M2 card? Coz i saw this guy trying to buy a 1gb memory card for his SE K610i (coz K610i & W300 has the same memory card, sony M2) and at first he was looking for a 1gb Sony M2 card, to replace its stock memory card 64mb, then he saw that his memory card isn't a M2 card its a 64mb micro SD card in his fone all along. so he just bought the 1gb SD card, then he inserted the memory card in his fone and worked perfectly that day...so is it possible to use a SD card instead of a M2 card? SD card is cheaper than the M2 card Answer pls.. thanks!!!

  • I bought this phone 2 weeks ago and so far I can say that I'm very satisfied. Pros: -really good at being a phone, that is the most important for me < very good earpiece sound, good signal, clear and loud speaker, good size, really good battery, quick at sending sms or mms, nice phonebook and last call record systems> -very fast and easy interface, multi task (you can access and use several functions at the same time), run every java game or application that its tried -internal display very bright and clear, but not as good as a 65k colors nokia display, at least for me -external display surprisingly good, especially under sun were you can see the information totally clear. -lots of nice extra features such as alarm, calculator, calendar, stop watch, timer, music mate, radio fm, some of the games, video/photo DJ (can't say the same about the music DJ feature wich is very lame), sound recorder (even the sound getting kind of low), bluetooth/infrared, complete software CD and walkman player* -the walkman player is just perfect.Of course, that isn't a surprise, everybody knows, but I didn't expected to be that good. You have total and very easy access and control of all your songs stored in the phone and in the card, you can sort them as you want, you can set the equalizer yourself or select the preset ones, and there's the megabass one that is really awesome. Its quality boosts with the top high quality earphone that comes with the phone. There's more good things about it but not so relevant. -its camera is not a megapixel one but I'm ok with it, have nice diferent effects, takes bright pictures. I didn't expected a digital camera and I didn't get one. For me it can be cosidered as a pro. There's just a few cons, and all a little irrelevant: -lack of the activity menu, were you can create and access a lots of shorcuts, bookmarks and were you can see the running apps. to me its a shame that this menu its missing, it is very useful. -its possible to create just 2 shorcuts due to the lack of the activity menu -can't see videos in fullscreen mode, and to see the pictures in fullscreen you have to rotate them, you don't have the specific option to do that. -The browser of the phone its not as good as I expected so I had to switch to the good and old friend operamini browser. -can't change the on/off animation -the flip is a little little bit loose, I don't know if its my phone that came defective, but I got used to it. Also the phone make some creeky sounds depending on the way you hold it, I had to get used to that either. Thats all that I remember now, if I remember something else later I'll write it.

  • when the phone is closed it liiks cool i love the out side display but i realy hate the when the phone is open it looks rely ugly

  • this phone is to big and has a small screan and a bad key bord

  • Hi! I have the w3ooi black since Thursday, it is a really graeat & value 4 money phone. However, I would like to ask a few things: 1. Can FM radio be displayed on the orange external screen? 2. When I listen to music or radio via hands-free & I have an incoming call, I don't hear the ringtone from the earphones. Is it possible? Bcos in Nokia phones with hands-free, music is interrupted & u hear the ringtone from the ear phones. 3. How can I change stations when listening to FM radio? Again, in Nokia I used to have, u can also do it by pressing the button of the hands-free. In the hands-free of w300i, by pressing it it says something about voice recording only. 4. When the phone is deactivated, I don't see the clock screened, although I have activated the function of displaying hour even in deactivated phone (I can see it only when it is charged deactivated). Thanks a lot!!!

  • This is the best phone in the world. Excellent performance.......

  • Camera is NOT 1.3 but 0.3 megapix. 1.3 can be achieved with interpolation, which is not the same thing and can never give the quality of real 1.3.

  • This is the best phone around it has everything u need 1.3 mega pixel camera 256 megabyte stick and 20 megabytes internal also it has good quality and very loud sound. This phone is probably the loudest Walkman.Also it has a good standby so u don't have 2 recharge that often very light perfect design. And has the best headphones on a phone. Its got fm radio and and has quad band. I would recommend this phone.

  • I tried in the store and man - what a terrible, horrible keypad! It's a real shame, because the rest is not bad at all. Not only the keys are so small but they overlap. I could not type a single fone nr without a mistake, let alone txt. And the buttons for walkman and power are so tiny, it's just ridiculous. I know SE meant this fone for the 'youth', but this is not even suitable for an average 15 yrs old kid. Pity!

  • I love this phone It has an good walkman player good momery everything is good!

  • now... this is what I call a POS crappiest camera, bad software (as every SE), hideous design, useless outer buttons, cheap-plastic-bulky feeling, horrible keypad, 128x160 display ohh and don't forget the mono screen... everything is wrong in this thing... "90% of w810... 60% of the price..." are you insane??? it's not even close to *ANY* other phone... $220 uhhmmm NO... rip-off

  • can u make a reviews for dis fone plzzzzzzz thanks gsm

  • ok so i went and got this phone simply becuz i cudnt get anything better. so i sorta settled for it cuz am a motorola kinda girl. but hey I LOVE IT. its da best phone av ever had. my only hang up is there isnt a lock feature to like lock ma pics and messages etc. but u cud download a password thingy from the net. GET DIS FRICKING PHONE YALL!!!

  • Brillant!! The W300 is the 90% of the W810 for the 60% of the cost. It is not worthwhile to buy the thousand.

  • To get better video recording quality, put the video size to 128*98 sub qcif instead of qcif. It will be sharper and clearer.

  • ive just brought this phone and i really like it, its got very good memory, and the memory provide also. BUT, the camera picture quality as a bit bad compaired to other 1.3mp cams. but the internet is fab on orange and is really simple to use also. the games are ok but a bit girly, such as NEO PETS, but over all i would say 8/10.

  • Photo caller id is supported on w300i. In bluetooth while receiving multiple files from 'my devices' i always have to click 'allow' for all the receiving files. Even though i have selected 'always allow' for that device(phone). Is this normal? coz its annoying to click 'allow' every time while receiving multiple files. Thanks

  • hi everybody im planning on getting this phone very soon and i'm trying to figure out if this is the right phone for me and the more i look into this phone i think it's good for me but i want to know if ya'll really like the phone

  • all my frend said its a nice hp(physically),cool.for me its cool too but the picture quality is quite bad. the seller said that, w300i support 1GB memory card..overall i satisfied with this hp.

  • id just like to know if this phone has photo caller ID (the best thing about my current samsung E330). id really miss that feature if it doesnt!!!

  • this celular phone is the best

  • Two answers: I have a 1 GB card on it and it's working perfectly. Bluetooth for music: Apparently not, since it doesn't support A2DP.

  • I forgot to mention that the nokia plays WMA files, SE doesn't.

  • All in all I think that Nokia 5300 is a better deal than W300. It has better keys, better speaker, MUCH better screen, better camera and better call quality. It supports stereo bluetooth and supports 2GB memory card. On the down side it has worse earbuds (which you can change) and worse battery time.

  • Bad news: According to the w300 faq at the Sony Ericsson site this phone supports only 512 MB! "What is the maximum size Memory Stick Micro� that can be used with this phone? The W300 supports Memory Stick Micro� (M2�) up to 512 MB. "

  • As mentioned earlier by somebody, 2gb memory stick micro m2 from sandisk may not be supported on this phone. check compatibility for SE phones and click w300i. It says only 1gb (maybe)is supported!

  • its very hard to open the back of this phone.but the card exists!!

  • "Does anyone know if you can use Bluetooth Headphones with this product?" Not stereo. The only walkman SE that support stereo Bluetooth are 710, 850 and 950.

  • Does anyone know if you can use Bluetooth Headphones with this product?

  • 2 GB M2 cards are out! So good news for w300 and all other SE phone using this micro memory stick. It's made by Sandisk and officially compatible with Walkman phones:

  • ei, what's the meaning of VGA? and where can i found it? tnx!

  • @ haider & genepomelo i have read all your conversation , ang guess what ?? as aresult of it , i am totally impressed with the s.e w300 cell ihop you 2 dudes e-mail me @ [email protected]

  • The w300 is a great phone. to get great photos with the camera, change the picture size to extended which is 1.3 megapixel, when taking a photo hold the phone horizontaly (keypad in left hand) when the photo is saved go in the camera pictures folder and select the image, press more then rotate. the photo displays fullscreen and is much sharper and brighter. (if the photo is up-side-down, rotate two more times).

  • i love this phone!!! my new phone. i love it. it's so cute and it's everything it says here. love it!!!

  • RSS feeds are codes for the RSS Channels in an XML format. An RSS reader is program that the user subscribes to a feed by supplying the reader the link to the feed. The reader then checks for any updated or new data in that RSS channel / stream / feed and presents the new data to the user according to it's codec e.g. jpeg, mp3, mpeg-4, bmp, etc..

  • When you got the W300i for the 1st time, is the M2 card already there, and if so, how do we open the back to find out?

  • is this phone's speaker loud ? compared to SonyEricsson w810i ?

  • the quality of picture of w300 is not werry good, i think teh z710 is beter. But did you see W710? The sound quality of z series is not so good, you will get a 64 mb Merory card with it. But if you choose W710 you will get 512 memory card, and a w series stereo hand's free, witch makes the difference!

  • can anyoane tell me what RSS reader is?

  • first i've decided to buy w300 but when I saw Z710 i changed my mind can anyone tell me which is better? i heard that the camera of Z710 is not very good and the sound quality of Z710 is not very perfect as W300. please help me.

  • sorry, meant 1GB.

  • but there is no 2mb card. The max is 1mb.

  • I live in peru, I bought this phone 2 days before, and I love it, the sound is amazing, I know the camera is not good as k700, but i dont care i love the shape( i have the black one), now I will buy 2 GBm when the prices here starting to goin down, sry for my english :D

  • @prince. no, it shouldn't be "playing". If it does that more than it makes you comfortable, have someone take a look at it.

  • Hey Guys, i bought this fone..and I found this as a great fone. but wht i found also is that the upper flap of the fone is 'playing' a bit..I hope everyone got wht playing means..is it ok?.. or do i need to replace it..else evrything is great.. please give me sugesstions.. rgds

  • Hey I bought this fone for my sis on sunday,its great fone it has everything,only one confusion I was told that this fone has VGA camera but when compared with any handset of Nokia having VGA camera the clarity of Sony is best how ? could someone explain Is that what is called Sony Technology ?

  • Can anyone please help me with the bluetooth. When receiving multiple files via bluetooth I always have to press "allow"(which is annoying) even for the phones which I have included in "my devices" with a setting "always allow"

  • @NIONCO dude am also facing the same problem. the voice and ringtone volume is kinda low even when set to max. can u pls tell me how to solve this issue. .

  • Hi all, on 19 Jan i bought this phone. But, before doing so i searched and searched lot of websites for a good phone. Esp. i browsed this site many times. Read user opinionm seen ratings, pictures etc. Finally i decided to buy z530i. But at the last moment i realized about the USB data cable, stereo headphone, 256MB M2 card. This alone will cost around Rs.3000/-. So, i switched over to w300i (Rs.8750/-) instead of z530i (Rs.6450/-). Really great phone as i expected. Thanks for this website gsmarena.

  • Hi it really a great phone I have ever seen. I have solved my problem which I posted early. Now its working excellient....... Previous Email for ref: Hi there, I have a problem with this phone. The voice and ring tone of the phone is not so loud, even using speakerphone. Do you have any idea how to get rid of this problem? Otherwise its a great phone.

  • Wow, phone is light and look cute and the WALKMAN function is great. Camera well 1.3mp still ok but for those need more pixel just choose w710 2mp, but me i work with my DSLR camera.

  • Hi. I have this phone for almost 6 months now. the main reason I bought this phone is that I want an mp3 phone so that I won't have to bring to gadgets, an mp3 and a phone. the sound quality that this phone have is superb. Once you plug the earphones into your ears, you will not hear any sound from the outside world, making you feel that you're in your own world. the main the disadvantage that I can see on this phone is when i use the phone's camera. especially if you're using the burst function of the camera. the first picture is ok but the 3 remaining is blurry and sometimes it will show you the previous pictures that you've taken. but for people who's looking for a great mp3 phone, then this phone is the right one.

  • I transferred some songs from pc to my mobile. After that i did " Remove hardware " for both my phone memory and phone memory card. I got the message in the pc that "safely removed hardware". But still in my mobile it shows " Dont remove USB ....". What should i do ? Shall i unplug or restart the PC? Please help me out. Thanks

  • hi all, Yesterday i got this phone from showroom in hyderabad, India. I got this at 8750/-. Very lucky that the price got reduced in this week it self. Sound is rocking. Display is beautiful and themes are simply superb. Right now i do have only 4 themes in my mobile, How can i add more themes in to my mobile??I transfered one theme from other sony ericsson, but my mobile does'nt accept that theme. . Compared to nokia, sony is far far better.It has all the features for just 8750. The VGA camera is acceptable. Day light pictures r good. Reply Mail ID: [email protected]

  • good news my frend has a new w810 i checked in school how high the volume is and guess wat the w300i sounds louder like about 7% but like 3.5% less than w800. the camera in 1.3 mpx is so great if it's past 4:00 pm but during 10 -3 when the sun is strong it looks great. i think if u put the w810 vs w300 they would both die.

  • The camera takes good photos in vga resolution but in 1.3 megapixel the photos are not sharp on the phone but great as a screen saver on your pc. The video recorder and walkman feature are great.

  • The video recorder is great. It is sharper in sub qcif, plus you can record longer. I compared it to my 3.2 Megapixel video recorder and it gives a tight competition.

  • can this phone read memory card up to 1gb or more?

  • hi guyz could any body tell m that how to change the out side screen colour because in this pic its orange but in mine its red ....and by the way datz a great phone but camera result is not enough good..but this iz gr888888888..

  • does anyone have the details for replacing the front facia - I bought different coloured ones on ebay - any ideas anyone?

  • Ei guys, i was wondering if there are any kind of brand / type of Memory card that will be compatible to use with the w300.. cause awhile ago, this guy took out his 128 memory card from his SE K610 and was gonna replace it with a 1 gig memory and the memory was a SD card not an M2 (memory stick micro) card.. and w300 and k610 has the same memory card type, is that possible, so is it possible that i can buy an SD card instead of an M2 card for my W300 its cheaper in a way he he he.. help pls if ever.. tnx

  • to: haider and haider.. by the way, the theme that i think you really like is called "club light". It automatically vibrates a little when you are selecting the menus of the fone.. he he he.. Rock and Roll!!!

  • to: haider hey haider, i have the theme that you really wanted, i can send it to you thru email or something if you like... And i was wondering how come your fone doesn't have that theme.. hmm its kinda like a stock theme for the W300.. well anyway if you want me to send it to you email me in this address "[email protected]" if ever ayt!! and i'll send it to you!! Hi Momi!!! mabuhay pilipinas!!!

  • how is the sound recording?

  • to get 1,3mpx on your phonecamera on the camera go to more the picture size and put extended size it will trully look like w600 camera ( w300 is a better phone more memory)and in daylight wooooo perfect

  • I have this mobile phone and I think that it is great. If u wont to listen music loud, u must buy this phone.

  • Anybody know if this phone comes standard with a memory card in South Africa? Lookin forward to gettin one, sounds like a great phone!!!

  • check this out some one has this theme (walkman theme with FLASH menus) UREGENT

  • The w300i comes with the walkman headphones which can be used with the computer, a USB cable,PC Suite,256mb card and the charger

  • i'm just curious but what comes in the package of this phone?

  • check this out some one has this theme (walkman theme with FLASH menus)

  • SE W300 quite nice....! and design is very sastified. MP3 also very loud and sweet compare other brand. Hope SE can invent more advance phone....!

  • well i think w300i is much much better than w810i if u want to have a music fone only better sound is available and if u want to go for camera too than go for w850i but that lacks auto focus

  • This phone is awesome because its packed with features and is very cheap. I love the GUI and all the themes which are animated. The sound quality is sweet, it even beats a k750i in loudness. A must for people who don't want to spend big.

  • it is very nice and i love it it has very good sound

  • yo' paul... the red phone with the arrow means that your calls, incoming or outgoing, are redirected... so... if you wanna loose the simbol...simply reset that in the divert calls menu...done...

  • I'm really impressed with dis phone. just at first glance u can see that dis phone is really special. when I saw the specs I fell more in llove with it!!!! I can wait 2 get mines in hand.... what I want 2 know is what is the largest memory card size ou can put in dis phone cuz I know it comes with 256MB memory stick n 20MB internal memory?

  • Does Sony Ericsson W300i have the chance to put my personal images or pictures on its external mono display?

  • By the way, the cover is just hard to take off. The method in the manual is correct. Press down and push out.

  • My back cover was extremely hard to take off too. But after taking it off like 5x, it becomes managable. I took it back to the store and had the employee open it so if it broke, I ain't responsible.

  • How do you get the back cover off? I try to follow the manual but that cover isn't moving. My previous SE phones didn't require such extensive force to be applied.

  • To use mp3 as ringtone branded phone, you have to use the DRM packager which is downloadable at the SE designer website. It makes the mp3 file locked and usable (like the games). The more DRM ringtones you have, the slower it is to browse through your ringtone list...and don't add DRM to your normal music files.

  • Can somebody please explain once and for all how exactly do you use a MP3 as a ringtone? Thank you!

  • if you are a music lover...this is a phone for you.you have the option to replace the external memory up to 1GB.imagine that!it is also user friendly and very light.no need for an IPOD.

  • Get it! Its a really good phone, has all the possible features, it's durable and it comes wiyh memory card and data cable...what more do you want?!

  • why does the message ringtone was not to long but i have an mp3 ringtone pls help me

  • very excellent and the fm is fantastic,,,,, one drawback is there is no antivirus software in this .....if u can help me in updating the soft ware in net

  • can anyone tell me if this phone can play MPEG4 files?

  • How do you play movies/video on this phone? Someone said it plays WMV files, but when I put it a video on the phone there is no option to play it.

  • i dont know wether 2 get it i saw it 2 day and i really lke it plz help me and decide what 2 do xxxxx

  • On camera mode, what takes better pictures? Normal or fine quality?

  • radio work very very good messaging is good hands free are same that of w810i(BLK) card is faster and smaller compared to w810i w810i is 104 grams with card AND W300I IS 93 GRAMS WITH CARD

  • and display is a bit poor as compared to w810i walkman player is same that of w800i camera IS REALLY FINE @ 1.3 mp it looks better than w810i and w800i ringtones are better at w300i key pad of SE want attention

  • well according to my observation w300i is really very better in sounding its a bit louder than w810i

  • I had a w800i for over a year but it got stolen.. I loved that phone soooo much! it's complete and perfect! now that I'm looking for a new phone, I still want a walkman SE.. I'm wondering if this is the next best for its cheap price.. I don't mind the camera coz I've got one.. I'm just concerned about the memory and sound quality.. coz before in my w800i I could fit 400+ songs in 512mb by decreasing its quality in the pc, but when I transfer it to my phone, it still sounds great! can I also do that with this phone? [OR before, I had 300+ songs and still had memory for 100+ games..] also another is concern is, I found w800i easier to use [specially File Manager] than my friends w810.. what about this one? is it also easy to manage files? or roam around the phone without a joystick?? hope you answer my questions.. it's been almost a month since I lost my phone and I still can't find one that would really suit my preferences.. I didn't want to buy another w800i coz I already have a cam and it would just overlap the use.. ^_^

  • please can some help me i have a w300i and i have a symbol on my phone wich i try and get rid of but the manuel does not know the symbol it is a red phone with a red arrow on top thankyou for the help

  • @john but my friend has one theme there in his same fone thats also robbie william edition

  • I forgot: I also use the alarm everyday about 2-5 times, which uses the mp3/speaker combo, and which should use a lot of battery. With all of that (+2-5 sms messages a day), my battery lasts that long.

  • @haider No, mine doesn't have that theme either, and I was pretty surprised too. But I think mine doesn't have it because my operator's SIM card has changed one of the icons on the regular menu images and that's why that one won't come up. @ the person who asked about the battery life: Yes, again, mine lasts 5-7 days with about 5-10 calls a day, 1-2 hours of music-listening, about 5-10 minutes of WAP and occasional picture and video-shooting.

  • hyder if u r having robbie williams or michole jackson edition so this theme aint work on ur phone so if u need this theme please change ur firmware from ur nearest waranty shop then u can get this theme from where u have bought this .................. i have this theme but it costs 39.99 us $ so u can buy it from ur waranty shop

  • @ all w300i owners I Saw a theme inverted w300i theme does ur mobile have this theme if u have i need this theme bcoz my w300i has no thme like this. @parham do u have this theme from where can i download this one

  • can u use the mp3 u downloaded for a ringtune? plz replyback

  • Or wait, I think someone wrote it does not have flash too?

  • Hey I just wanted to make sure, the W300 has camera with flash, while the Z710 does not have flash, right?

  • hey guys is it true the battery lasts for 5-7 days cause my battery doesnt last tht long..can u please tel me hw many hours of playback wil come in the music mode..

  • The phone is equipped with a mere VGA camera. There is an Extended Mode in the camera menu, that raises the resolution up to 1.3 megapixel but that resolution is interpolated which means that the software merely stretches the real 640x480 image in order to reach those dimensions.

  • Austin C You'll need a Sony Ericsson M2 card. The largest one for now can hold 1GB.

  • Getting a new one off ebay. Just wondering what kind of SD card I need to get specifically for this phone, and how big I can get. Thanks

  • @ Sarge. Hi, the display on the se w300 is AWESOME !! lol i have it. its very clear and reasonable size. (big if you ask me) but people say they have seen bigger. but the quality of it is GREAT !!

  • the camera is only VGA the specifications are wrong. the camera quality is pretty how ya goin. if you know what i mean. very pixelated.

  • its really greatest walkman far better than w550i even w810iif ignore camera

  • Just got the black version of this phone for christmas, and I'm pretty happy with it. It's better than my old NEC N343i in nearly every way, and I don't miss the i-mode one bit! - Camera is pretty good for what it is. Much better than my old phone (also VGA). - Headphones are very similar to Sony MDR-EX71 in both appearance and sound quality - and these cost around €40-50! There's also a 3.5mm jack on the wired handsfree cable so you can plug in any standard headphones instead. - Sound quality is pretty good, however there is significant noise when things are quiet. If the volume is quite low and there's a quiet part of a song, it can sound quite distorted. It's fine with the volume up 1/3 the way or higher though. - I never had a clamshell before, and had doubts about getting one, but I am actually quite happy with it. The earpiece and mic are a lot closer to where they need to be so things are a lot clearer when making calls, and there's no keypad lock to worry about! - The buttons aren't great for texting, and it's kinda weird having the top row (1,2,3) bigger than all the others. - Battery is great, and the charger doesn't make annoying high-pitched noises like a lot of modern transformers (I couldn't sleep with the one from my NEC phone on!) - Radio is great - I can pick up distant stations I can't get on any other radio with this! RDS AF (alternate frequency) is very useful when travelling. - "Disc2Phone" software is next to useless. It tells me nothing about what it does to the music (if it's re-encoding or what), so I just don't bother with it and copy over music manually. - It doesn't seem to have any way of sorting music tracks by their filename or by the tag's track number, which is kinda annoying when putting albums on it. - Screen is pretty nice - even on the lowest brightness setting it's still quite bright. The external screen is OK. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's not perfect, but what is - especially at this price!

  • it's cool phone ,i want that ,but just display is my problem ( small ), is that good & clear enough ??? please help me ...

  • I just bought my SE W300 and i absolutely love its sleek form and the sound clarity. It costs a bit but it really is a good bargain !! But dont buy it if you are looking to shoot pictures with ur phone

  • To pqCZ: This phone also comes in black... the black W300 won't look as girly.

  • reat phone realy, only doin point is the camera... put the mp3 player on the and the headphones that come with it... loudest mp3 phones i've heard to date

  • It's trendy. Not girly. But perhaps for those who doubt their manliness.

  • correct me if i am wrong but isnt this phone for girls i mean it looks 100% as a girl phone its really awesome but it doesnt look that manly so i want to know if it is a girl phone or not?

  • @ Steve H (again) Also make sure the problem is not with your card. Did you get a sony ericsson M2 card?

  • @ Steve H Make sure you're not doing anything wrongly. If that's the case, take your phone back and exchange it with a new one if you can. That's not normal.

  • We just got this phone, then got a 1GB MS Micro and we are having real problems with the memory. it is only transferring part of the files and in somne cased it is scrambling the songs and actually mixing them together - weird! Has anybody else had this problem or know what I should do?

  • The w300i is a great phone- no joystick means no more constant cleaning and the display is bright and clear. The sound is better than an ipod and the camera is fine in daylight. Ignore the phones critics- 97%

  • ok i dont under stand is the camera 1.3mp or vga help please

  • Interopulated to 1.3mp Ok guys help me out here... what exactly does that mean..??

  • @haider Actually, the camera isn't that bad. I've been putting it to good use. Sure I could use some more resolution, but then phone cameras all have purple fringing and you can't get good quality with those small lenses anyway, so the debate over the camera kind of becomes useless -- that's unless they come up with new technology that wozld make that sort of lens useful. I haven't exactly measured the time the walkman could go non-stop, but I listen to music a lot, and my battery's charge remains for about a week. And btw, I went and took a close look at the z710, you were right about the size, although at first the w300 seems smaller. My bad.

  • @Haider I totally agree with the cam quality when compared to w550i. W550i was my previous fone and the cam was awful. W300i has a gr8 VGA cam, looks stylish (shadow black with black earphones), got EDGE, 256mb Mem card, awesome ergonomics. Only disappointing thing was the small screen(128 X 160) and the display aint as crisp as W550 but again that accounts for the awesome battery life. Overall, W330i is a gr8 buy

  • @ parham u are right w300i has best sound quality over but i have a problem that my w300i has a bit less mp3 playing time from speaker thats about 6-7 hours when completely charged i have robbie williams edition that came with an extra fone cover and in ear fones the fone plays about 20-25 hours music at maximum volume when fully charged o0ver all the best walkman fone if u ignore the camera (i feel camera of w300i at extended mode has better pic than w550i)

  • Alright folks, after having used this phone for 3 months now, these are the observations I can make: - This is a fantastic phone! There's nothing as good for this price. It has replaced my iPod, the sound is actually better than my iPod due to the earphones - it's just that it doesn't hold as many songs, even with the 1GB card. - The call quality is excellent, nothing to say there. - Entertainment-wise, it tops all the phones I've had so far. - The camera is VGA, but it's not that bad. It does what it's supposed to do. - The looks are great, though I could have done without the orange keypad at my age. - The battery is fabulous. You charge it for 2 and 1/2 hours and it keeps on going for 5-7 days, no matter how you use it, or whether you use it in the cold or not. - The only (and really the one and only) nag I've had with it is the fact that sometimes I can't see the letters on the keypad clearly in the dark. But then I need glasses. - I would have liked to have tried A2DP on it, but the current earphones well do the job, plus bluetooth consumes a lot of battery power. In short, you won't be able to find a better phone at this price. It's a great little marvel. And I'm not exagerating. My wife constantly now wants one too, and she has an LG Chocolate. If I had to consider another phone, I'd consider the z710, which has A2DP and a 2MP camera (with blue keypad!), but then I'm not sure about the quality of the sound on that one. Cheers.

  • To Paige: - For opening the back: Hold the phone with both hands, the back towards your face, and put both your thumbs on the center of the back of the phone. Now slide it easily with your thumbs. This is a technique the guy at the phone shop taught me. He had the same phone! - The earphones plug in the cord that plugs in the bottom of the phone. It's in the manual as well.

  • This is a great phone. I just have a few concerns; - I cannot get the back of the phone off. It won't budge at all. Any tips to getting it off? - Where do the earphones plug in? I can't find the pluggy in thing anywhere. Help, please!

  • First the answer to the guy who asked if it played WMVs, yes it does. Now, I'm very happy with this phone. I work developing mobile content, and I needed a phone that supported lots of formats and the w300i delivers. Sure, the camera is VGA, it doesn't bother me, when I want to take pictures I carry a proper camera... Only complaint is that it doesn't seem too sturdy, it makes me feel if I drop it it surely breaks. Other than that, it's a good phone. Music sounds OK through the earphones, reception is good, has bluetooth, IR, EDGE. For the money it's a winner.

  • well to convert ur camera to 1.3 its simple just go to "camera" select "more" select "picture size" in it and select "extended" it will give u the pic converted to 1.3 mp resolution but its the digital extension of phone but never mind its camera bcoz its just vga and i thjink its a very good vga camera For all those who keep on comparing it to n series or k800 etc etc plz consider their prices first then compare u cant compare a BMW with a toyota so use common sense see what is most cost effective according to ur needs , need a good camera go for k800 definitly but requires atleast double the amount of rs for w300 , k800 and w300 has no major diff in walkman so for walkman i consider w300 the best i told u guys before i have a w800 and a w300 and my w300 beats w800 in mp3 and ringtone volume

  • Greetingz ma people, i prefer this mobile is has its own style better than the Z530,but could improve on the keypad design and the ergonomic of the flip panel,looks very cheap like...if could give some sharp clean edge would be perfect...but overall its has a good look when its flip down.So go getit boys and girls

  • hello... i would like to ask anyone if W300i can play videos in WMV (Windows Media Video) format? For those who can help me with my question, please post your answer here or email me at [email protected] Thank you very much in advance!

  • Where to i locate the 40 channel preinstalled ringtones? Thanks

  • arrrgghh this phones bluetooth only accepts and sends... its doesnt let you go through other peoples fones and take stuff like my LG KG 245 does... oh well gr8 phone

  • my W300i can hold about 60 songs with 256mb card. I assumed you've been ripped off for not getting the M2 card as it comes as standard. As for camera, I've to admit its not up for the job but bear in mind, this IS the CHEAPEST SE Walkman phone series. Perhaps you need to do research first before blindly purchasing the phone.

  • phone is gr8 it storez near abt 70 songs cam is gud in VGA

  • dis fone is class!!!its got a legend mp3!!!!da cameras class aswel but its ta best mp3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • gurlz ,. guyz if ur plannin to get a hp i suggest u to get this model. Im using this hp model and i dun think i have any prob with this hp, coz it does itz job perfectly..W300i has a gud and solid sound,pic and sort more things.. Itz kinda cute hp..i luv to change hp every 3months but afta gettin this model i think i vont... ok guys try gettin this hp kay gtg ~~ PEACE~~

  • well 7 songs in w300i , hello i think u must have mistaken theres a 256 mb card included in it which on average can hold upto 50 songs easily and if ur phone is holding 7 songs on the 256 mb card than its funny infact its strange it wud be some problem with ur phone second i should comment on the suggestion to buy a 6233 , first a buyer of w300i should neevr try it because its not a flip second its price tag is way much bigger to that of w300i , well 6233 have anyone really tested that phone , i did and i should say its a good phone which has only average camera its 2.0 megapixel is quite starnge it makes ur pictures look quite funny becaus eof its over sharpening second lack of autofocus make picutres pretty foggy , mp3 player in 6233 is just like the one in 6230i no bass no clearity flat tones thats it , speaker volume is just ok but quality is of second grade if u compare it with w300 so dont experiment ur money buy a w300i just for mp3 radio flip speaker quality and looks , for camera try w800i or w810i

  • The 256 MB card can hold far more than 7 songs. I had about 7 full-length albums sampled at 160 kbps before I changed the card to a 1 GB one.

  • is it that it can onli hold seven full songs using the 256mb card or without using the card. coz then it mite b that ur songs r really huge or that ur not using the phone to its full capability.

  • Hi dudes i wanna buy this phone, can anyone tellme abt its camera quality nd speaker output

  • hi, i think that this fone iz CRAP because the camera iz a VGA (no mp)and no FLASH and this fone can only hold 7 full!!!!!!!! songz.i think dat u should rather buy nokia 6233 cos dat has 2 mp camera sik zoom and everything iz upgraded n betta.u sould buy 6233 from ORANGE,it iz only 149 pounds n in some areas like HOUNSLOW it iz ONLY 99 pounds.l8a

  • oh yeah on the left click "try the phone" and the pop up will start

  • if you want to try the phone before you buy click on the link its an interactive pop up where u can use the phone as if it were real... it isnt the same model but the only difference is the side button... all the menus are the same

  • im thinkin of buyin this fone buy january...do u think i should.if so give me some advice

  • Questions, that need answering... Can u change ur bluethooth name and how? Is the camera any good? How many mp3's can this fone hold? How long can u video record for? Does this phone have videoDJ and music DJ? Ty

  • Wy i am asking is , i have plan to use my mobile as modem to connect to internet from my laptop. in this scenario u will experiance huge diff b/w GPRS and EDGE

  • to bob: Here's a definition of "interpolation":

  • sree, I've never downloaded songs directly on the phone (I always transfer them from my Mac), but I do download quite a lot of themes, which usually take 2 or 3 seconds. Sorry I couldn't help you more. If I download a song directly, I would let you know though. I think you shouldn't worry too much about the EDGE performance though, because that really also depends on your network as well. Mine is very fast.

  • i was just wandering what does interpolated to 1.3 mp mean?

  • parham whether u tried to download files like mp3 songs which have some 3 - 5 MB. how much time its taking?

  • Hello guys, Good day to all of you and i hope and mean its a "good day".hehehehe..well, i have been reading all your opinions regarding sony ericsson w300i and i find some good to the ears and others not quite good.i am a w300i user for a month now and for me, its a nice phone of its class.great sound quality, kinda user friendly to me, dunno with others..the screen is nice to the eyes..262k colors...and also the Internal Memory is big(23MB) and the card included is 256MB,whew thats big for a cheap price, and when i bought it, all the accessories u need are already included in the package..that's a great deal for a low price..i bought it at 9,300 pesos here in the Philippines...wherever i go, listening to music never became a problem.side buttons made my music life easier.although the camera is not that good compared to other phone models, still its worth it..if u want better quality pics...go for a digicam....i really loved this phone because VIRUS never became a threat because it supports only JAVA programs...unlike Symbian OS phones...Viruses are always guests on their phones..hehehehe...you know wat will happen to the phone if virus sets in...and have you noticed that SE phones are more durable and long lasting?hehehehehe....other brands are good too but for me SE is the best....if you have any questions bout W300i, feel free to email me..ok?

  • well for all of u guys interested in w300i its a smart phone for smart people so i think its enough , if u want a pohne with kool looks with gr8 mp3 player and radio plus brillaint ringtone quality with good battery time and a card slot this is the thing ur searching for . i was using my w800i from last 6 months iot was gr8 bu tnow i had this w300i just for walkman purposes and its sound quality , i think its enough to tell u its gr8 when a guy having w800 saying w300 outclasses w800 in walkman and on speaker as well , yeah camera is not that good but its a 640*480 vga camer and if u compare it with vga seriesn camer aits not bad at all infact its gr8 among vga cameras last thing u should see in this phone is its costeffectivness compareed to its qualitys where quality exceeds the ratio so what ru looking at go and buy one its gr8 for what its made for

  • this is the worse phone which i never seen ... flip is also shacking.. gprs not connecting well.. camera is worse.. 6070 is the best one which my wife is having.. this is worthless..

  • How do I find that out?

  • thanks parham.. Ok how much downloading speed you are getting?
