Sony Ericsson K300i

By Jeremy Roche on 10/03/2005

More Sony Ericsson reviews , RRP: AU$329.00

The good:

  • Easy to use
  • 65K-colour screen
  • VGA camera
  • Infrared port
  • Camera shortcut button on side of phone

The bad:

  • Screen isn't as vibrant as more expensive models
  • Only 12MB of internal memory with no expansion options
  • No bundled accessories

The bottomline:

Sony Ericsson's K300i is a decent all-rounder handset that includes a good mix of features such as a built-in VGA camera and infrared to wirelessly transfer photos to PC. Taking photos and sending text messages is a breeze, although a few bundled accessories like a USB cable would have been nice.

its joy stick is troublesome after 2 month of extensive use

even its connectivity to computer and handsfree is lost after 2 yr and 10 month(because of degradation of its IC)
and after 3 yr there is malfunction in its keypad.

but its too strong when free fall,
minimizable media player,
good modem

Bore package from nokia. This mobile flops. No any features which satisfied us and no any quality. I rank this mobile 0.

Pros: Compact design.

Cons: Camera stills only average in quality.
Camera performs poorly in low light conditions.
Annoying keypad.

Cons: -Doesn't Break....after several attempts
-Camera Is Terrible
-Kept unlocking in pocket and calling people
-Jostick fell off (before i tried to break it)
