  • I had this phone, it worked pretty well, still works but I dont just it anymore

  • yea i need this phone

  • ya .its very super. i like that model very much

  • Is lock and dont know the codes for it,if i can be help for it, let me start using it

  • If you're in the US, I have this phone (Sony Ericsson Z300a -ATT) that I used for just a week. It's like new. Let me know if you still need it.

  • How does one delete a missed call? User manual of no use, lots of info in the manual except for the simple things.

  • really need this phone..very hard to find..

  • I am in need of the user's manual for the sony Z300.

  • theres no speakerphone

  • This is one easy phone too use

  • What a nice phone...love it!

  • i once had a phone like this one(though i lost it), i like it though it has no camera...it's cute.. :)

  • writing is very slow the keys are difficult to press some menus are not friendly don't like it!

  • all it is is a Z200 on a diet with MMS

  • I dont knw why would any one buy this ph. when we have great phones in the market with same price....this sucks ..no memory !!!

  • any of you guys had the face cracked? what do you do?

  • i liked this phone for just a basic phone loved the conpact size and cool keys, don't think it has internet capabilities.

  • Fantastic ph. Basic function, dont expect too much

  • "Beauty with no brains" a real beauty with its sophisticated design, but the performance is really bad, slow in picking up signal from network, definitely not user friendly, i always end up attempting throwing this phone luckily it got stolen haahahahahah

  • Hi ppl, i am about to buy this model, but before that. does this mobile has pc connectivity? how's the standby time? is the external screen worse for diplaying caller id scrolling too slow??? thx in advance. bye

  • This phone is the worst of the world. It freezes up all the time.

  • As a first look I thought the S.E Z300 was a nice and good cell phone. But it is the worse one than I have had. In it began to fail the keyboard and then appeared a blue line at the middle of the screen. SANY ERICSSON IS : GARBAGE!!!

  • dis phone's design is nice n cute.bt a problem wif it is d keypad.it's hard 2 press n no light 4 d option button.bt nw i hav a other problem wif it.i cant recieve d incoming cal wen i typing d SMS.it jz stuck at there.

  • It is amazing that people complain about missing camera etc. on phones designed to be simple... I have had many phones with cameras, bluetooth, 3G etc. But this simple phone is my favorite. Making calls and sending SMS is very easy. The buttons are the best on the market and the phone is well build and reliable. I cross european borders a lot and it works very well in all conditions. Finally: I think it looks great.

  • i love the z300a i misplaced it and went wacko trying to replace it it is user friendly i hope it lasts forever !

  • good fone nice shape and size good sound and as for the earphone u can raise the voice when u r in a call by the +/- sound keys the only problem i have is the signal sometimes got low signal any 1 else got that problem?

  • nice phone but the only problem is the earphone is low specially in crowded places but it's for its price

  • Oh, one more thing- I've looked in the manual but can't find it anywhere. How do you turn on speakerphone?

  • To set t9 on the phone - Go into "Settings" then "Language" then click on "T9 Input" and make sure it says on.

  • Ringtone Volume... Change under the My Stuff folder on each indiviaul ringtone.. you set for that ringtone. Phonebook name thing... The number only appears if the name is short enough for both to be displayed. Question.. How do i activate T9 on my phone. specs say it has it and i found the location but says not avalible.

  • Hi, I am not able to connect to the internet as i can use the same in other handset.what should i do to connect the internet? Thanks Rahul Gupta

  • So I love this phone. Its super cute. But in my phonebook, some of them will just show the persons name. but another name will have the name and the number right next to it. how do i fix it?

  • Hi I got this phone for my mother 6 months back.Phone is good but the main problem is that its ringing volume is very low.How can i increase the volume of the phone? Thanks Kshitij

  • it's a very nice phone especially for elderly persons who are not fussy. it's pretty nice in colour and design

  • i thnik the phone is okay but i prefer it to have infraed or camera

  • This cell phone is CRAP. the signal is always low, even downtown Washington DC or at University of Maryland. In buildings there is NO SIGNAL at all. Don't waste money and time on this piece of crap. It is the worst phone I have ever used. NEVER EVER. Sony Ericsson have always been crap.

  • i think this will be more better if they put an infrared of a bluetooth in it.

  • i uses it myself its a very good phone.

  • Good phone, a little difficult at first, till you get the hang of it.

  • I like it, if you have a camera in you phone, you use it like 20 times and then you dont use it anymore.

  • I love this phone it's perfect for me. Has everything I need. Would be nice to have a camera but Im not beat for a camera phone...Who wants to pay over $70 for a camera when they cost like $10.00? Go figure..Unless you're into photography a camera phone is just a pretensious way of saying look what I got! It's time to grow up people!

  • omg! dont ever buy this phone its the worst! its lack of camera! the looks are ok..nut the funtions no way!

  • well...i'm now using a z3001 phone i dont really like it that much coz it dosent have a camera my friends all have kool nice phones if i were to choose a phone it wouldnt be this one.......

  • its a great phone limited features but for the price paid its great, sturdy/compact/cute etc Im not into all the fancy stuff so it suits perfectly

  • If I lived in America I woud'nt even look at this gadget!

  • i just recently got this fone. i cant complain, it does the basic functions. i definitely prefer the layout of the keys to my old phone (My C4-2 Sagem- it had water damage) but it does lack a camera. but i think its a very cute phone and i would reccomend it, i'm just missing the camera and speakerfone of my old fone, but i think this fone is a lot better looking and the layout is good so overall i'd say it is a pretty good fone as it does the basic functions.

  • everything is crap except for the looks, compact looking and cute. but the specs.....sigh

  • Worst phone ever, and its the biggest piece of crap. I could never get a signal (I don't even live in rural America) or call anyone when it counted. Plus the phone would freeze periodically and eventually just broke.

  • dizaster... don't buy... except if you only need to talk...it's the only thing that realy work like it should my ex t200 had more stable and quicker software than this dizasterpice

  • I think it's cheap. In fact When I bought it I thought it was awesome. But my Z300a takes a minute to go tho the clock.

  • alas after months i found a way to ge new pics and ringtones to my Z300i.if u have gprs u can do everything.try it.

  • This phone is horrible, it looks okay but it is impossible to hear in your pocket, has a very low resolution screen and a very bad interface

  • I found Pix2fone wallpaper sender.. With this tool i can download any picture i want to my z300i!!!! Jippiii, i'm soooo happy. :) And amazing thing, it's totally free. Least they said so... I thought there is no way to send picture in this mobile from my pc 'cause there is no bluetooth, irda or pc connection possibility.

  • this phone is boring,but it looks real good

  • My neighbor gave me this phone... (yeah very nice neighbor!).. but I don't know do I even wanna put my sim card in it.. It pisses me off that this phone doesn't have even java or infrared!! Aarrrgh!! But it looks so damn good.. :) Mean the phone not my neighbor! heeeeeeeh And I have a question too: Can anybody tell me is it possible to download pictures via DCU-11 cable from PC?????

  • hi ppl i have this phone it's kinda cute but no FEATURES AT ALL buy it if u jus want a clamshell phone wid NOI features!!!

  • how can iget soft or stuff for downloading or geting rine and wall paper

  • Does this model support java? Some source said yes and the another one no... So this question is for users!

  • owh yeah!i just bought this mobile for my bf mom!she like it!cute!there have digital/round clock outside there!then have some cutie gift decorate cristal!creative ya!bravoo!

  • where can I get some soft for this phone to get sounds from the PC ???

  • Does the phone have speaker phone?

  • Well best fone n u can download pic n tones on wap sites

  • To change from analog to digital clock on the front display just use the side button. I have an Z200, and that's how it works on my phone. So I'm guessing it should work on this one too.

  • I bought it. Its a great phone with basic feature and good look. Screen is excellent and a nice keypad.

  • Hello I want Upload Music and Picture this phone Please Help Me . With Shoftware ? Please Send your Email .

  • a really cute phone. it is ideal for a girl, because it comes with stickers to decorate with.

  • I love it, especially in the redish pink. Cute, and fits my budget. I will buy it :D

  • im getting the phone seems cool. But i want to know is it true that it terns into a digetel clock and then terns back to a normel one please answer. Thank u.

  • A good little phone. Easy to use and looks nice. Only downfall ive found is that it is slow to write a sms message.

  • from all these comments i dont think i want this fone anymore. first of all its slow,dimly lit and low. i dont think so im young and i need a hip phone to go along

  • cool n very decent phonei ever had...simple to use...cool to show..best phone

  • I bought this phone 3 months ago. It's cute and simple. Just appropriate for simple people who don't need much of any fancy styles & features in a mobile as long as I could send,recieve messages & make call. But the unit also malfunctions-hangs up when u make long text massages. The memory is very low and ringtone is very low, could not hear it when inside my bag. Anyway, I like sony products & I patronize all their electronic gadgets.

  • I bought this phone a month ago.It works fine.But the problem is battery back up.Hardly it comes for 3 and 1/2 hrs when u use continuously.Key pad is so handy so that u can send SMS so easily.But it a good phone just to make calls and send SMS only.And the ringtone volume is low when u compare with nokia handsets.Sony Guys why dont you increase the volume of this piece in upgrade version.And even the other side caller cant able to hear the voice of us when we r talking. So, i request sony ericson to solve these problems in the next version atleast.......First try this phone from your side and sell in the market.

  • this set beautiful and comfortable but this set is set not handsfree so, check and recover this option please

  • Hi, The front display for this phone is a analog clock. But dunno what did I press, suddenly it change to a digital clock. How to change back? Anyone can help me?

  • It is a cute phone for women. Value for money with good basic required features. During an incoming call if only the name (or no.) is displayed it is enough. The scroll of name+no. is slow & hence uncomfortable.

  • It's a great cellphone. I got ir four months ago, and I love it. It has d�the basic options, and there's signal most of time. I recommend it!

  • +the basic functions of a cellphone are: calls and sms, -not java, camera, infrared. i have one and is very good for a low price phone. who wants a cheap clamshell designed phone with basic functions should buy it, instead of Nokia 2650 or other phones like this

  • It look very cute n simple..... Is a nice fon n oso very cheep...

  • Bought this phone only to find out it is a so so phone so long as you use it during the day or in well lit areas. Keypad for the numbers dimly lit & the navigation, yes, no, clear & option keys have no light at all for night time use. Also when you receive a sms message the notification tone keeps going till you read the message very annoying.

  • Fantastic,Excellent,I am not having much words to describe the features of this plan.Go ahead. Lijo Rajan, No 29,Lakeview Road, East Thambaram, Chennai 59

  • quite ok(and stylish!) for a basic phone. wish it had an infrared port, though.

  • i wanted to know tht is this type of clamshell mobile phone is for girls[women] or whether it can ve a good one for both men and women???

  • I can actually get these phones for $90AUS each... They are quite cute.

  • Activate ur GPRS thru ur mobile service provider... This phone is very cheap... Only a few dollars... Hehe... I can buy 10 units of these...

  • i have a question... why is my internet services aint working? when i pressd the button below the yes button it says gprs not allowd. how can i activate it?

  • i am soon gonna buy this phone and i think it is very stylish and cool it cost $129 au and i will most likely buy it from the telstra store no matter how gay it is

  • Whats wrong to SE? SE has been launched Clamshel models without FM RADIO!! I cant believe that!!

  • beautiful phone (i bought it for my wife yesterday). pros : design(especially purple), easy to use, good value for money 99�, battery 900mh cons : too slow for sms writing +/- : no camera

  • hi! iam intrested in buying this phone .but is the phone audioble?like is the ringtone low?plz let me know .thanks

  • the phone works just fine..as few people here already said..it has basic things and its definitely not a phone for all those spoiled brats..it just depends on what u need from a phone..and imo...people! the phone is suposed to be used for talking..if u wanna play..buy playstation, if u wanna listen to the music, mp3 player is always a better idea then a cell phone..i had a phone with a lot of features..didn't really use most of them..thats why i went for Z300

  • Hmn, i wanted to buy this phone, but now i saw these bad reactions. Well, i've got 2 questions left: Is it a better phone than the Sony Ericsson T300 and is the maximum volume louder?

  • how to setting internet profile

  • Is there any alarm & radio? Pls. kindly advice. Thanks

  • dis fone rocks , absolutely beatifull nd very gud value for ur money costs around 5700/rs, here in pakistan .gr8 clamy of its kind

  • i purchased this set This set doesnt have INFRARED port

  • i have lost my z200, and was interested about this, but this has even less function than that, no infra red! come on sony-ericson, what were you thinking???? :S

  • its the worst cell phone i have ever used..the voice is bad!!!

  • I think this mobile is perfect but just one thing can be very usefull..camera

  • Very beautiful and small. Nice screen ja sound good, receiption excellant. Only 99 euros. Maybe the best basic cellphone.

  • good handset.Price is very less as compare to the model.Good sound and basic features.

  • bwahahahha 650kb of memmory!

  • Have good features, however, atleast in communication 'Infrared' is always a better option. This phone do not have a Infrared. Above all it's a godd phone specially for girls.

  • Nice-looking basic clamshell phone for people who mainly want to phone and send sms.

  • this site write: the model Z300 have Infrared but it not have Invrared please correct this function

  • when someone calling, i can't hear the sound. The price is ok

  • Its perfect phone very good disajn and the price is veri good,

  • dear freinds i purchase this phone and the ribon of phone is broken and iam very upset if you have any suggetion of thsi problem plz let me know and my advise is toi never purchase this phone

  • No infrared, and the phonebook capacity is only 250 records.

  • omg wth? this phone is so overated!!! if doesnt even have java HAHAHAHA

  • this is very bad cell phone it voice is very low and it has no infrared port and it isvery low quality phone plz dear friend dont buy this phone

  • dear friend do not buy this phone its voice is very low it has no infrared port

  • I wanna ask that is its sound too much low because i previously used J200i and its voice was really loud then i switched to j200 and its sound was littlebit low than my previous phone but not so low.All i wanna ask is that this cellphone has really low sound or normal sound of ringtones...

  • i love d phone and i will want 2 know how it cost ,but what i dont understands is dat dey keep sayin it dont have a loud voice ,does dat mean u cannot hear ur ring tones properly

  • it is not a good handset . so pls don't bye

  • Cool model, Basic Phone but sound is very low...

  • I really like this clamshell, with basic fuctions without camera, does anybody know when it may be released to market, i want to buy it.

  • Wonderful! A update to the disastrous Z200, just what the world needs!!!

  • I really like the phone, i think it has alot of character and looks good too.

  • com on it s quaite original i like it at least se low end phones arent monochrome like nokia s and i presume that they will cost the same as the monochrome nokia s

  • too simple phone and it lacks of BASIC THINGS like java and speakerphone...

  • not feeling it :(

  • WHY does it lack speakerphone??? I quote some selected words about the Z300 from SE's pressrelease: "The Z300�s focus is on voice.." Well then i makes absolute sense to not implement speakerphone, does'nt it????? well, i'll buy something else then, ok? /M

  • Nice basic phone. I like the watch on the back of the phone. And the 64k internal display have to be better than the one on the t610.

  • nice phone, but no java..:(

  • what an original phone
