    3 Stars What is there to 'C' with this mobile phone? 17/05/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good battery life, cheap, reasonable reception, did I mention cheap?

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Texting is a nightmare at times, there are a few design flaws to contend with

    Mobile phones are something that many people claim that they simply couldn’t live without; modern communication is defined by the working order of a computer and a mobile. When my adorable little Pebl decided enough was enough of an intolerable life of being stashed away in a handbag for the best part of a day or being witness to some pretty interesting rants, I was on the hunt for a new phone. Although my Pebl did technically still work, in spite of the speaker not working which made for some rather interesting – if not very one sided - string of phone calls from my friend, I knew that I ... more

    3 Stars C300 - What's it all about? Review with images 09/07/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, sleek

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No good features

    My current phone recently started to crash and break down after five minutes of being switched on. I began to panic as Im going on holiday this week and I needed a phone that worked, in case of emergencies. I didn't want to spend loads on a phone as I am getting a new one through installments at the end of the months, and it wouldn't be here in time if I ordered it just now. I rushed round the shops looking for the cheapest, practical phone I could find. Then i went into Virgin and discoved what seemed to be a fantastic bargain. I was getting a phone, plus five pound credit, and two hundred ... more

    4 Stars Keep it sweet, keep it simple. 22/12/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Simple, Trendy, Basic, good quality.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No hidden gems, very basic.

    Well…. My mum (bless her heart) wanted a new phone for Christmas and the romantic that my dad is bought her a brand new one from the extremely glamorous a'la tesco supermarket. My mum previously had a Motorola which was pretty good but she lost her charger and decided she wanted a brand new phone! And this is what she got…….The Black Samsung C300. The Samsung C300 is a compact mobile phone which comes with good quality features. But it is very basic… no camera, no video, no Bluetooth etc…. But it does what a phone is supposed to do, make and receive good quality phone calls while looking good ... more

    4 Stars A good little phone for those not bothered by extras! 06/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages A good cheap little phone.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not many extras!!!

    Well I bought this phone a few months ago when the phone I had on contract got wet and broke, and my phone company wouldn't replace it until my new contract. So I thought I needed a cheap phone which would do for calling and texting, I went into the phone shop and this little cutie popped up. It was only £9.99 which isn't bad seeing as the prices of phones go up to around £200. And the phone was only to tide me over for a couple of months (until June!) for when my new contract could start! I got the phone, and I had mixed feelings on it: it has no camera, you can't put it on silent (only ... more

    4 Stars Samsung SGH-C300, Detailed Review 14/03/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap, good-looking, functional, lovely slide mechanism

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Customisation is limited, settings can be fiddly, no dictionary for predictive texts

    I got this phone as a replacement for a Sony Ericsson K310i on which the joystick had failed, and overall I have to say I'm fairly impressed. It's a very simple model with few bells and whistles that exists mainly to do its primary jobs of calling and texting (except for standard organiser, alarm, voice memo and currency convertor features). Calling is no problem, with the slide mechanism a joy to use as a method of answering incoming calls saving you from any fumbling with soft keys. The speaker is nice and clear, although you will almost certainly have to turn up the initial ringtone sound ... more

    2 Stars Problems with texts 01/12/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks, feel & price

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Texts

    Looks nice, feels nice and it's cheap. I just wanted the basics, and for phone calls this phone is great. But I consider text to be a basic too, and texting on the C300 has problems. 1. It has the T9 predictive text dictionary, which is good. But you can't add your own words to it. Well, you can try, but it forgets them after a few texts. It will even forget certain words during the same text. 2. It interrupts your typing every 150 letters to tell you how many messages your text is made of. The pop-up is there for several seconds, and usually happens in the middle of a word. So if you're using ... more

    5 Stars finally, a phone that is simply, a phone. 23/10/2007
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages looks good, easy and comfortable to use, reliable

    Disadvantages Disadvantages no flashy features

    The Samsung C300 is pretty basic, it doesn't have blue tooth, mp3 or infact even a camera, but I have found it to be very practical and reliable. It's a nice shape and it comes in black, silver or a pretty red-pink colour, and it's a nice shape and size in your hand. It's very easy to use - I never even opened the instructions, and there are no annoying complications that you get with flashier phones, it's all very straightforward. In my experience so far the battery lasts for ever and it always has a signal, even when none of my friends does. It comes with short free trials for suduko, tetris ... more

    5 Stars Good price for the quality 15/03/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages strong and robust

    Disadvantages Disadvantages the look is not very trendy but ok for me

    I was a bit short when I made my choice then I am quite happy with it as it totally worth the money and the more I look the more I like it. The menu it bright and colorful and would suit someone who only needs a phone to text and phone people on.Maybe kids or older people. So that handed.Its not to heavy, has speaker phone which i love.Its design very nicely and comes in three different colours pink, sliver and black. I brought black very sleek and sexy. Its not a phone if you want a camera or mp3 player.As it doesn't have those features. It is small, it has simple to use keys and is stylish ... more

    3 Stars Quick review of Samsung SGH C300 by duckwalk42 21/07/2008
    Good looking phone, ease of use but found it to be a bit bulky, also the keys for texting are quite small. Screen scratches easily so I would suggest purchasing a decent cover. Good battery life...

    3 Stars Quick review of Samsung SGH C300 by pearlveera 10/08/2008
    ...useful. Software Sony Ericsson PC Suite on the CD allows you to synchronize phone with your computer, create backups and transfer files. The file transfer can however be also used in simple USB mass storage device mode, where the speed is amazing - 6 to 8MB per second!! That allows you to transfer your music library into the phone quite quickly, especially since there's 8GB of flash memory to fill, plus 160MB phone/media memory.
