Advantages: Stylish, Camera, java enabled and more... Disadvantages: No bluetooth
...for this new model by Samsung mainly because my other Samsung model was just old. The features also appealed to me and I will explain them in detail as this review goes on…..
I purchased this pay as you go phone for £99 on special offer from The Link, but the price can vary up to £129.
PACKAGING
The phone came in Orange’s box, which is a simple black box which the orange logo and in orange writing which says ‘Samsung E300’.
On opening the box ... ...guide.
THE PHONE
The Samsung E300 is a clam shell design. It is approximately 84mm x 47mm x 23mm in size and weighs 85g, so it’s small enough to fit in the tiniest of handbags ladies! It is silver in colour with a black strip on the front. On the front of the phone is the 65 colours, TFT, 96 x 64 pixels, external display, the camera lens and a service light. On the left hand side of the phone is the volume key and on the right are the camera key ...

Advantages: Easy to use phone with a wide variety of features Disadvantages: No major qualms - see review for further information
...I finally opted for the Samsung E300. (I was initially thinking of getting the Samsung E710 but finances are short so I've put that on hold for the timebeing!) The Samsung E300's that I was coming across in my websearches were going for anywhere between £100 and £140. Of which I'd set my limit to about £100. I was all set to try winning one on eBay until I noticed Argos had a special offer on (January sales). The E300 was up for £75!! Bargain!! I ... ...proud owner of my new Samsung E300.
Anyway, thats enough about me! :o)
= = = Why choose a Samsung E300? = = =
Well as previously mentioned, I was on a budget to buy a phone for £100 as my absolute maximum. I wasn't fussed about the really snazzy features such as Bluetooth which I'm sure will be all the rage in a matter of months (I can't see me having a use for it, certainly not in the forseeable future). I also wasn't bothered about an FM radio ...

Advantages: Easy to Use Disadvantages: Screens can be hard to clean
This phone is very good value for money. It's easy to use and there are a number of different things on it to use. The camera is excellent quality and the zoom is very efficient, however unfortunately, the frames have to be applied before you take the photo and can't be added later, which can be annoying! However, there is a button on the side which allows you to take photos of yourself without even opening the phone (I know people who use this as ... ...(once you figure out that you need to apply them before taking the picture!)
The infra-red is also fairly useless (I wouldn't recommend this phone if you use it a lot) as you need a laptop/computer with an infra-red port in order to use it, and cannot use it to transfer data from other mobiles. However, the games are fairly good (particularly bubble smile - which becomes addictive!), and fun 2 link (until you complete it). The golf game is a bit ...

Advantages: Small enough, easy to use, stylish, great dual colour screens Disadvantages: Infrared only - no bluetooth, can be difficult to get hands free kit
Before my E300 I had an A800, which I found VERY easy to use due to the way the menu etc. is set up, but I was surprised that I found this one even easier! There are three different ways you can have your menu style so it is easy to pick which one is easiest for you. This is the 6th handset I have owned (yes - I'm picky!) and I have to say it has been the easiest. The 'quick' menu with the arrow buttons is customisable with a few of the features ... ...without having to go through all the menus! There is a quick camera access button on the side which also gives you access to your photo menu (ie. view photos and videos you have taken.), although it seems to take a while for the camera to set itself up to take pictures - the 'please wait' screen gets annoying after a while! The good thing about the camera is that you can take pictures while the phone is still closed due to the dual screen - great ...
