Samsung SGH C300

...cheap little thing called the Samsung C300. I paid a measly £20 for it from Argos because of my deliberations over a contract so I just wanted a cheap pay as you go mobile to tie me over until I made (or make) that decision. I’m with Virgin Mobile (hehe funny name) and, although this particular phone is no longer available on their website you could purchase the Samsung C300 for as little as £12.99. I feel like I’ve been robbed! WHO ARE SAMSUNG ...
...store in the early 1930s, Samsung are now one of the leading brands in all things electronics, from the said mobile phones to televisions, cameras and computers. Samsung are perhaps best known for their mobile phones, especially now-a-days when they are producing top of the range mobiles with features such as MSN becoming accessible whilst on the go. However, purchasing the C300 at such a meagre price, it would be unfair to expect it to have such ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...to be a fantastic bargain. I was getting a phone, plus five pound credit, and two hundred air time minutes, all for an amazing TWENTY POUND! But was it worth it...? ***Looks*** This phone looks no different from the more popular, up-to-date D900, so I am not embarrased to have this phone out in public. Infact, it's sleek and shiny design makes me feel quite proud when I slide it up, all ready to communicate with the world! ***Texting*** As I am with ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...I got the phone, and I had mixed feelings on it: it has no camera, you can't put it on silent (only vibrate), the ringtones and message tones are rather annoying, the wallpapers are terrible, and the text message memory only holds 200 messages, and when your like me and my husband who text each other all night while he's at work, you get around 400 messages a night!! But for £10 I wasn't complaining!! The phone is small, its light, and the battery ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

...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. The Samsung C300 is also known as the Samsung SGH-C300 & is available in silver or black. I am talking about the black version which provides a matt & glossy ...
...neat & compact and the handset feels solid to hold & looks like a top end of the market mobile phone. It has an easy to use slider mechanism and is all very trendy, you would not know it does not have the top notch features, like the camera unless you actually looking for it. The C300 comes with 2 Mbytes of internal memory which allows you to save contact details, numbers, messages and other information. The fitted battery provides up to 7.6 hours ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...nice and clear, although you will almost certainly have to turn up the initial ringtone sound in order to hear it from your pocket over any normal background buzz. Dual band it is of course, so you can't take this to America - something it's always worth bearing in mind. Texting is fine, with lots of lines of text being displayed on the screen at once meaning you can get a good overall feel for the flow of your message. The T9 predictive system ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...pop-up is there for several seconds, and usually happens in the middle of a word. So if you're using predictive text, you often have no idea what letter in the word you were up to. So you delete the word and start again, but of course that takes you back across the 150 letter boundary, and another pop-up appears, and for just as long as the first. 3. If you ever manage to finish your text, it than takes 12 button presses to send it. I hardly ever ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...has a signal, even when none of my friends does. It comes with short free trials for suduko, tetris and minesweeper and it offers you the full versions for £3 each. so if you are looking for a flashy gadget that you can also use as a camera and music player, you are looking at the wrong phone. but if all you need is a means of communication then this is a very nice, well designed, practical and reliable phone, which cost me just £32 - brilliant. ...

Review of Samsung SGH C300

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 ...
...or mp3 player.As it doesn't have those features. It is small, it has simple to use keys and is stylish and compact. It has excellent reception, great volume, an alarm clock, calendar and other quite useful features But if you want a phone to ring and text. That is easy to use then this is the phone for you. Although being so hard, it is light. Moreover, it is comparatively cheaper than other ones. I would like to buy "Samsung" mobile phones next ...

...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. ...
