Sony Ericsson K300i

The only Reason that the sony ericsson k300i phone is good is because it near perfectly does what's it meant to do at a cheaper price.You need features go hunt else where . You are talking Value for money don't search anywhere else. At the Lowest Price it give VGA Camera , Mp3 ,3D Java Games ,Outlook synchronisation ,and good color Display at about 65k if not the best. What else can be exepcted from so cheap a phone and then its good looking too besides being so effortlesly sleek. Hits the segment Bullseye without any sweat !

The Sony Ericsson K300i phone has been a good handy phone for not breaking. It is a good looking phone with great ring tones as well. It is cool how you can make your own ring tones.

The Sony Ericsson K300i mobile phone has video recording, a digital camera and an MP3 player. The MP3 player is hard to find. The video recorder only lasts for 10 seconds. It doesn't have bluetooth, just infrared.

Overall it is a good phone, so it's more or less safe to say you should buy it.

I bought a new Sony Ericsson K300i mobile phone. The phone contains MP3's, videos and pictures that were originally provided by Sony Ericsson, but I don't want the videos, MP3's, pictures and other data provided, such as games. I want more free space. When I deleted it all, it made no difference to the free space. It is still there in my phone. I reset (Reset all) the phone but I am still getting the deleted stuff back. They take up 6Mb's, so I am left with only 6Mb. Does any one know how I can free up the memory? Please can anyone help?

It needs more memory or an option to increase it.

The Sony Ericsson K300i isn't actually a bad mobile phone, I just don't like it. I don't like the joystick, it's too fiddly. I don't like the small buttons, and I don't like the screen - it's too small. The display is poor, and I don't find the text or graphics of good quality. I had mine as a free Orange upgrade, and with little choice of available phones, I opted for this one as it had the best reviews, but disliked it from day one. I really wanted a Nokia 6170, but there wasn't one available, so I eventually bought one on eBay. I sold the K300i by the same method, and couldn't be happier. I think Nokia is the best make of mobile you can get.

Present Day:

My Sony Ericsson K300i mobile phone is currently heading back to the Amazon returns department after the joystick and several buttons stopped working.

3 months earlier:

I got the phone from amazon for £50.

On taking the handset out of the box, the first thing I noticed was just how cheap it felt to the touch. The buttons were small, and the phone (the back cover particularly) had the integrity and build quality of a Kit-Kat wrapper.

The battery life was generally good. The message it would give you: "Optimized Charging", for some reason made me feel I'd achieved something.

Vibrate alert in silent was worse than useless.

Camera was poor, only permitting 4x zoom on low quality snaps. The whip-crack noise (you can't turn this off!) when taking a photo would have been more suited to a Lib-Dem chatline.

Latest update: Amazon have run out of stock (refund not replacement!), although rumours persist these phones are still available at a supermarket near you.

Overall, the Sony Ericsson K300i is a very good mobile phone, and I would definitely recommend it. It's 4x zoom is very good, as is its video capture. The MP3 player is great. The only thing I would say is that the memory is only 12Mb, so if you are buying this phone be aware of that! Brilliant phone!

The Sony Ericsson K300i is a cheap mobile phone with common features, although it is the best in its range of phones.

I've only had my Sony Ericsson K300i mobile phone for a few days, but I'm finding myself quite liking it. The fact that you can take video for what seems like hours is great. The ring tones are pretty cool, and they're LOUD. Good games as well. The darts could become addictive. I only paid £50 for mine, so I got pretty good value for money. It's light as well. The only problem I have is that it's vibrate setting is poor, so you can barely feel it. All in all a good phone.

The Sony Ericsson K300i is OK. As a cheap and cheerful mobile it's well specced compared to rivals, but the keypad is very noisy. Someone will be able to hear you typing a text whilst watching TV or listening to music, which is very irritating. It is so irriating that I took it back before the end of my 14 day trial period. It's not a bad effort, but that keypad clatters and clicks like something built 5 years ago.
