True: this phone has been a out for a while. True: It doesn't have the bells and whistles the new ones do. But, is it worthless and not worth considering. No. If you are young and looking for... more

    4 Stars SAM sang sweetly in my ear.... Diamond review 13/11/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Small stylish GSM phone, different, sleek design, 2 batteries, host of features, dual band, organiser, calender etc

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery standby time could be better

    Meet my new small friend; Sam; he plays sweet melodies in my ear and if I don’t want to be disturbed he’ll whisper a message or vibrate gently in the palm of my hand… When I saw Sam, it was love at first sight; he was young, slim, and sexy! I immediately got rid of my ex, who was too bulky. So, who is Sam? My mystery man? My new Ciao lover? No. Sam is code-named A-300; it is the latest new phone from Samsung. I decided to upgrade my old mobile phone of the last 3 years, which was getting a bit too heavy to travel with and invested in a new smaller phone. My previous phone ... more

    5 Stars You know you want it 05/10/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Tiny, Great Battery Life, Easy to Use

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Low Text-message memory, predictive text not that predictive

    I can remember when I told anyone and everyone who was listening that I would never own a mobile phone, that they were a waste of money and that they looked like idiots walking down the street with one. That was nearly 3 years ago now - then I got my brick, its that much of an embarrassment to admit it that I’ve forgotten what make and model it was, all I know is that it was on a contract and it passed for a (albeit huge) mobile phone. Now over those past years I’ve gone through a few phones each of them getting smaller and smaller until I met dink - now dink is a pet-name for my Samsung A300E ... more

    4 Stars The A300 the baby of the mobile phone family 05/01/2003
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages small, supplied with 2 batteries

    Disadvantages Disadvantages short battery life

    I have had my samsung A300 for nearly a year now and have been quite happy with it. The A300 has a lot of functions which include a Wap browsing function although much to the disgust of my children it has no games. One useful feature I did find though is the alarm clock, however you need to leave your phone switched on for it to work. The A300 is a cute little phone, and comes supplied with 2 batteries one of which is a slimline battery, however standby time for this battery is not great and I find I have to charge the phone on a daily basis when I use it. The larger battery does last slightly ... more

    3 Stars I'M ON EARTH...CAN YOU...no, she's gone. 12/09/2002
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Small, dual-screen so you can avoid people you don't want to talk to.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Titchy buttons, and poor battery life (at least with the slim battery)

    Glancing over my shoulder to ensure I’m not being watched, I flip open my communicator and start punching buttons. After a while I stop, as my fist is way to big to be making any impression…these buttons are TINY! I start using my fingers instead. Ah, I have now succeeded in entering the codes required to initiate communication. And it only took me four or five Earth minutes! The eerily-lit green screen, larger on this communicator than on many I have used before; some 28mm square (I understand this can also be called ‘nearly an inch’ for the benefit of some of the older inhabitants) shows ... more

    4 Stars Looks Good 04/05/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Looks and size, clear and large inner screen

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Battery life, no vibrate for sms

    This is a phone which makes a fashion statement about its owner. FIRST IMPRESSIONS This phone is small if a little thick and chunky with the standard battery attached. The quoted weight is 83g with the slim battery attached. It is a flip phone similar to the recent Motorola V range of phones which when opened has just about the right distance from ear to mouth. The phone comes with a handsfree, a wrist strap which I have never used and standard and slim batteries.Unlike the Motorola v60 the flip feels nice and solid with no play along the hinge. SCREENS Again unlike the Motorola v60 you can't ... more
