The Sony Ericsson W300i is a small & compact mobile phone with a good clamshell opening mechanism. The mobile phone comes with a Walkman® music feature which will ensure the user has the best music with them at all times & with great sound quality. The phone comes in a choice of shadow black or shimmering white coloured casing & both colours have a smooth finish. The phone comes with all the accessories the user will need to get them started which includes a stereo headset, 256 Mbyte memory stick micro™ (M2™), a USB cable to connect to a PC & a Disc2Phone music management software. The handset feels great & is a good sized clamshell phone which has a 90 x 47 x 24.5 sized casing. The overall weigh is good for a mobile phone & weighs a total 94 grams. The W300i looks similar in appearance to the Sony Ericsson Z530i but the W300i is from the W range of phones which include the Sony Ericsson W810i & the Sony Ericsson W950i. The W range is a very popular range designed by Sony Ericsson which all have the Walkman™ feature but they are all very individual phone with regard to the other integrated features.
The W300i comes with the a FM radio & a media player which provides the user with the music of their choice & at all times. The sound quality on this phone is very clear & can be as loud as the user desires. The phone comes with some very useable music features which include MusicDJ™, PlayNow™ & Mega Bass™. The phone can play music tones in MP3 & ACC formats.
The phone has dual screen which allows the user to view information on the external screen without even having to open the W300i. The external screen has a monochrome display (101 x 80 pixels) & the screen is very useful. The internal 262k colour TFT screen (128 x 160 pixels) is very colourful & clear. The user can view full Internet Web pages on the internal screen as the page will automatically render to suit the phones screen size.
The user will find using the integrated VGA camera very easy as the camera comes with a press once feature. The user can press once to select the camera feature then with a second press of the camera button the photo will be taken & it is that easy. The camera comes with a 4 x digital zoom & some very effective feature which include picture editor & picture effects. The user may choice to save their photos which can be saved as a photo album & viewed with a time delay between each photo. The phone comes with an integrated video record feature which allows the user to capture those special moments in action rather than a still photo.
The Sony Ericsson W300i allows the user to move photos & music freely between their phone & their computer by using the USB cable. The transfer is made very easy as it comes with a drag & drop feature. The user will find accessing the internet is as easy on the W300i as it is on their computer as the phone comes with Access NetFront™ web browser & the option of using a modem. The phone comes complete with Bluetooth® wireless technology which allow the user to connect wirelessly to any Bluetooth® compatible device.

I have this phone, the camera is rubbish. The phone does not have a flash & it has hardly any memory. If you have songs stored they disappear! Then come back a couple of days later. It responds quite slow at times as well.

The phone is working good but some drawbacks are there in software & some features are not working good, external speaker is better not extra ordinary.

It is a very nice looking phone! There are all the necessary features! I find it harder to use than my Nokia though!

It’s great but the camera is not really good.

Sony Ericsson has gone downhill. No matter what anybody says Nokia is the overall favourite. Song Ericsson phones always break etc. My cousin, a couple of my friends & I have had this phone & they have all broke! My phone was returned to me whilst getting repaired from Sony Ericsson & had a numerous number of scratches on. Don’t buy their phones go for Samsung or Nokia!

I have had this phone for a year or so. I am hard on my phones – I put them in my back pocket & sit on them, & I drop them all the time. Despite the abuse, my phone is still working well. A few times the screen has frozen for a few seconds, then turned black, but that was only after I dropped it.
The sound is great, only issue I have is I can’t use MP3s that I added to my phone from my computer as ringtones. Not sure why. The camera is not so good, but what do you expect – it’s a phone. If you want quality pictures buy a nice camera.
I don’t particularly like the design, but the features are worth it.

Best phone I have ever had.

I have to say, having this phone almost a year it is amazing, I have dropped it in a pool & it’s still perfect, I have taken pictures which are amazing quality, I listen to my mp3s on the bus & radio when I am bored, amazing, if you don’t buy this phone you are missing out.

Very good phone. I really like it. I don’t like the camera, but it’s OK. It is perfect to listen to music or radio, the sound is great.

It is a great phone to have my friend has 1 but am planning on buying on in south Africa it expansive because it has the Walkman interface & the name Sony Ericsson its rare & because people don’t known about it the shop & to sell it at a higher price then what it should be. They is this shop called Vodacom it sells cell phones & puts the prices up in the ceiling, the fact that it comes with a USB cable, quality headphones & disc2phone software Vodacom sells the phone at a high price. I know that I have never begin to the UK, USA & other more developed countries, but t I am not saying that south Africa is not developed it is & I love it. I love the design of the w300i the screen is a bit small but its OK, I am a music person so the phone is perfect for me also love the interface. The phone in South Africa is as expansive as the Nokia 5300 which has a bigger screen & a 1.3 megapixal lens compared to the vga on the w300i.
