Sony Ericsson T300

...so much so that the Sony Ericsson T300 with the MCA-25 camera is now £100 (Orange Pay As You Go via mobileshop.com), compared to the £200 you'd have paid around Christmas. I decided to slightly overspend on a new gadget to ease the pain of phone theft a little! APPEARANCE/ BUILD Let's be honest... we all look at appearance first and features later, since so many phones are so similar now. Personally, I think the unique, chubby, rounded design of ...
...also-rans in the mobile market, Sony Ericsson have come out with something that's sleek and almost space age! You'll be lucky to find a baby blue version anywhere, but even with the dodgily named 'Mystical Green' (read: black) housing, this phone is still an attractive object in its own right. The keypad consists of all the usual buttons, plus a tiny joystick (yes, really!) and an odd slider switch on the left-hand side. Presumably the slider replaces ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...a detachable camera,or communicam as Sony Ericsson like to call it, this takes some rather ropey pictures, and is no replacement for a conventional cameras but is still fun for taking non-important ad hoc snaps. The pictures taken are slightly grainy in quality and you need good lighting to take a picture that you can actually see, however, once taken the pictures can be stored in your phones memory, or sent via MMS to another MMS phone. By the ...
...beyond a text message. An MMS can consist of a photo or short animation and sound, with the T300 you can even make a short recording of your own voice and forward it as parrt of the message. If the person you are sending the MMS to doesn't have an MMS capable phone they will be sent a text message containing a password directing them to a website where they can view the message. The phone has an menu that is really easy to navigate, one click of ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

I had to eventually get a new fone as my last one was basically falling apart would run out of battery after less than an hour! so decided to get myself a nicer fone and one that might actually stay in fashion for a little but longer! Ive found that the fone is good fun! i havent registered it as a WAP fine yet though i keep forgettin! Size and shape are prety reasonable! and i find that even after having the fone for a few months there are other ...
...havent noticed before! loads of features.... Comes with 4 games which after you have played them awhile get boring ...but on the positive you can downnload more from the site! Has WAP services which i havent had a chance to use yet! but i can imagine it may get quite expensive! the phone book holds about 250 peoples numbers which is an added bonus! txt msgs can be saved aswell and it stores msgs you recieve in memeory so you can keep more than ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...The joystick is characterisic of Sony Ericsson phones. The 5D movement of the joystick helps you navigate menus very easily and I think i will miss it if i were ever to buy another Nokia. A main selling point of this phone is its picture messaging capability. It is only possible to send picture messages with the camera attachment of course. Pictures taken with the camera show up on the screen like a horrific mess to be honest, but once transferred ...
...The 256 colour screen is a breath of fresh air from older monocolour phones but isn't anything stunningly good. That said, the phone wouldn't be the same without it and it does make the overall 'phone experience' a little more enjoyable. Another big selling point for the T300 is its 24-channel polyphonic ringtones. They sound great. When you can hear them. They are easily drowned out by the slightest of noise - that's why vibration alert should ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...I decided to try the Sony Ericsson T300. I guess the main reason for this choice was for the colour display, which at the time sounded impressive. It had additional features such as tri band and the design of a cursor that made it stand out from its rivals. It has an optional plug in camera, polyphonic ringtones that to me sound ‘gay’, a changeable front cover, and the option to share images and themes through the infrared feature. Its colour display ...
...when using the camera it’s not very impressive. Especially when the price of the camera was over the £100, you can buy a good digital camera for the same price (see my opinion on trust 820 LCD). It has WAP which phones would look out of date if they didn’t have. To me it’s not worth it as how often do you seriously use it? I maybe do once a month and that’s only to check the local train times etc. Other features that are there but never used is multimedia ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...I bought meself a Sony Ericsson T300, which sounds more like a Dr Who villain than something I should carry in my pocket, but ho hum. The man told me it was good, so it must be. Right? Well...yeah, it is fairly good. Just takes some getting used to. The phone was released last year as the masculine alternative to the popular T68i. Being as butch and full-to-the-brim with testosterone as me, I feel that this phone is a very suitable attachment to ...
...I had punched him square in the face first. Obviously. The handset is about 4 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, about the size of a garden pixie. About the same weight as well. You can get facias in a dark brooding green or a deep pensive red. Nothing girly and pink or light blue, no siree. I quite like the look of the phone; it has a very ‘retro’ feel to it, almost like a small 70s remote control. It has all sorts of excting things on it, like...buttons ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...donated me his old T300 Sony Ericsson. Now it has been some time since I owned a Ericsson and the addition of Sony echnology seems to have dragged their sorry looking phones into the 21st century. What do I mean by that? Well, anyone that has owned an Ericsson (like I did) in the last 10 years will know they had all the ergonomics of a brick. Thick aerials that poked you in the leg, ugly bulky buttons, the lack of customisation, etc.... So it ...
...house. however, i would not say its the most modern looking phone on the market. In hact it has a lot of similarities to the 33X0 generation of the Nokia phones. Perhaps borrowing stylings in an effort to win back buyers? I dont know.Im only speculating... Whats great about it? The screen for a start. This is my first colour screen phone and im very impressed. Much bettre for texting and reading messages on. It is also great for sending and recieving ...

...which you could win two Sony Ericsson t300 phones with camera attachments. So, I entered. Much to my delight, about three weeks later I received an email, in which I was told that I had won. About two months later I received the phones in the mail. I kept one for myself and gave one to my big bro! I can’t really praise these phones enough, there are pure brilliance, but not just are they brilliant; they are compact brilliance; weighing in at only ...
...48mm in width and with a diameter of 21mm. The look of this phone is a cause not to be messed with, it is just stunning. I know what you are saying, this is all very well, but this is going to cost me a bomb- but its not. With a cost of around £200 (including camera attachment) on Pay as you go it has to be one of the cheapest picture phones I know. Before I go on, I must say that this phone has a small memory capacity compared to Nokia picture ...

I realy learnt how to use my phone to the max here and probably wouldn't have had a clue about setting a lot of stuff up if I hadn't read it here. PPS Accessories include a data cable so that you don't need to download items via the phone (racking up the bill), just download to the pc and transfer. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...the process of purchasing the Sony Ericsson T300…. Lets begin with the style… Personally I think the T300 is quite a nice looking phone! It is a bit on the square side (so it isn’t very sleek) but it is quite stylish. The phone I purchased came with a black front panel, which has a shiny green cast over it. The rest of the cover is a silver colour. The cover can also be replaced but I have found it really difficult to find anywhere that stock covers ...

...sporatically and was assured by Sony that it was not a design fault, it seem to be a fault with my phone alone. I have dropped this phone on several occasions and it still works fine. However when dropped the phone does have a habbit of separating the battery from the phone, but no long term damage ever occured as a result. Over all Value for money, stylish, fun and easy to use. ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...husband! I came across the sony ericsson t300 on a website with the camera attachment, for £60.00 + p&p of £5.00 so all in all it cost me £125.00 for two camera phones, which I thought was a great bargain, the phone is a little chunky but if you lose phones alot this is a great phone, The only problem I had myself with this phone was the photos, very poor quality, I expected to be able to see what I had photographed, but the picture is very dark ...
...sister in law from her mobile which captures brilliant photo very clear, but when i received it on my t300 the picture quality was still very poor, the one quality i like about this phone is you can set pictures to peoples phone numbers and when they ring the picture comes up, you can also give them individual ringtones for each person, well it was a bargain for the price I paid but it could of been better!! another cool thing about this phone ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...I'd not had a Sony Ericson phone before, and I found it difficult to use, and navigate around the menus, as the placing of the buttons and key sequences for functions such as locking the keypad, seemd illogical to me. But upon reading the user guide and teaching myself to use the commands, i found it easier to use over time. I was satisfied with this phone until recently, when the functions of the phone were becoming increasingly slow, and it was ...
...Upon taking my phone to the shop I had got it from I was told that it was because of the memory being used up with photographs. I was disappointed because I didn't realise that the phone performed slower as the memory was used up, I expected there would be enough memory for the phone to function normally. Another disappointment with the photos was that their quality was not all that great, and even in light conditions they were often quite difficult ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

...hours I came across the Sony Erricson T300 from the carphone warehouse, only £149.99 and 10% off for ordering on-line (now £99.99 if you order from Orange). I placed the order and waited patiently for the phone before presenting it to him on Christmas day. Oh what a joyous Christmas it was! Later on that night I finally got my hands on it and went straight to the games section. Along with Mini-Golf and Erix there was Blackjack, I never could resist ...
...started to win I started to raise my bets, getting very cocky I raised my bet to the max and then nothing. Black screen a little noise and the phone had switched off. This happened frequently but only on the one game, however retrieving it to take to get repaired proved very difficult. Have you ever tried taking a new gadget of a guy? Ok, so it crashed on Blackjack, I'll have to learn to live with it. Time to test the camera.......... 'Smile', ...

Review of Sony Ericsson T300

ok well it aint the prettyest thing on earth but trust me it does grow on you after a while, and i've seen a hell of a lot worse. Color screen is ok, not great, but good enough. It does let the phone down a little when taking pictures though as the image looks very poor on the phone itself, but after transfering it to a pc either via infra red, data cable or email, the pictures are on a par with a basic standalone digital camera. The maximum picture ...
...lowered to shrink the file size. Buttons are a nice size, well spaced and the 'joystick' button makes menu navigation very easy. Loads of memory space for menu themes, games, polyphonic ringtones and pictures. Ringtone composer, pretty standard nowadays so nuff said there. Fast GPRS wap service is great for downloading games and other things, a game will download in 30seconds quite easily although i've only found 7 games so far. Multiplayer games ...
