Samsung E300 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: May 2005.
The Samsung E300 is a typical Samsung clamshell camera phone in a silver finish.
Its specification and design are very similar to the E310
and E330 and it's hard to imagine why Samsung
thought it necessary to release yet another phone of this type. The E300 is
a very average phone whose only distinctive feature is its ability to record
sounds and use them as ringtones - a feature that it shares with the E310 and
E330.
The video recorder on the E300 is of pretty poor quality and is limited to
30 seconds maximum. The infrared connection works only when connecting to a
PC and cannot be used to transfer data between phones. There are also a number
of audio problems reported by users. For all these reasons, we would recommend
that you avoid the E300 and consider the E330
instead.
Features of the Samsung E300 include:
- VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with digital zoom
- Main display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
- External display: 65,536 colours, 96 x 64 pixels (widescreen format)
- 40-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Messaging : SMS (with learning T9), EMS, MMS
- Games: 4 embedded Java games + downloadable Java games
- Wallpaper, screensaver & animations
- Personal organiser functions: clock, worldtime, alarm with auto switch on,
calendar, scheduler, to do list, currency converter, calculator
- Phonebook (2000 entries)
- WAP 2.0, GPRS class 8
- Connectivity: IrDa
- Dual band
- Vibration alert
- Size: 84 x 47 x 23 mm
- Weight: 85g
- Talktime: 3 hours
- Battery standby: 150 hours

This phone was bought for me Dec 2004, and being a 50+ lady, it is perfect
for me. I only text and make a few calls and the odd photo, and it has
never let me down. It has been dropped, squashed etc. with no adverse
effects. May need a new battery soon, but not bad after 6 years! Excellent
for the "older generation" ! We can actually see it, not like the thinnies
the youngies love! An excellent Xmas present for me!

I have a XDA with blue tooth that doesn't connect all the time, so my
wife has given me an old samsung e300 so she can keep in touch with
me. To be far the signal is always great the phone is small and will
fit in any pocket, the games are great, I haven't been able to work
out how to get photos off phone on to PC. Phone is a bit worn can't
see all letters would love to by new one, could do with blue tooth.

I've had this phone for more years than I care to remember, and have
found it is still in perfect working order. The camera's photo colours
are true (unlike a relative's newer phone which makes brown come out
purple), and the sound quality is great on phone calls. Not having bluetooth
does let it down in my opinion, as it isn't easy to get photos transferred
to your computer without having to email them from the phone, but other
than that, it's a great little phone.

I have had this phone since 2005, and it has lasted. It has been a great

over 300 photos! It's infra red does not connect with other phones though
which is bad. It must be good as i have had no problems with it so far!!

I've had this phone since august 06 and at first it was great, I loved
everything about it. After about 6 months though, the buttons stopped
working properly and wouldn't work when you pressed it once but when
you pressed it again it would go forward (or back) 2 screens. Very annoying
when I'm typing a text to someone... it's alright if they've just texted
you and you can choose "reply", but composing a message from scratch?
Nightmare. When it came to choosing who to send it to, I'd choose the
phonebook option, only for it to not respond, I'd press the button again
and this time it sends it to the first person in the address book. Also
the signal is so bad, I can't ring anyone in my bedroom or living room
- in fact the only place it has full signal is up in the Lake District!
Good things about it though (and there must be something good about
it for me to stick with it for 2 1/2 years) are the ringtones, message
tones, the flashing light on the front and the feature that lets you
put a photo on the front screen for caller ID. I have a love/hate relationship
with it but possibly it's time to get rid before I throw it out of the
window.

I had this phone since December 04. It is great, and still in good working
order. It has fallen from my hands loads of times. It just started scrathing
now. Once I even had my son's bottle leaking in my bag, the phone got
wet but it remained working! Superb! The only thing that this mobile
should have has was the bluetooth! But still it is very good! Now I
am planning in changing to Motorola V3 as the E300 is a bit old fashioned
now! I hope that the motorola would be as good as this one!!

Like many of the other reveiws, I've had this phone for about 2 years
now and I'm looking for a new one. Not once did I have any sort of technical
problem and it was a great phone when it was released. However the video
was not particularly good then and by todays standards is simply aweful.
Also, I seemed to have trouble recording sound on both videos and voice
memos, it was very quiet but oddly this was not the case with phone
calls. Great phone at the time, but much better phones out now at much
less than this phone cost me.

I bought this phone about two years ago, having had a nokia that broke
after 6 months. I have never needed to repair this one and have never
had a single problem with it. My only issue is with the predictive text,
it doesn't always add new words. It is a very average phone, you can
take ok pictures, ok vids etc, the games are not great but I just wanted
a phone that was robust, and this is ! The battery lasts for ages, I
don't regret buying it at all.

I've had this phone for 2 years. I could say that I'm satisfied by the
phone. Of course, nothing is perfect, so I had some problems as most
of you. First of all, after the first 2 months it started freezing and
stuff.. Sometimes, when I was sending a message, it froze on the "sending
message" screen and the only way to stop it was to remove the battery
- in order to switch the phone off - and put it back again. None of
the other keys responded. Another problem, related to this, was that
sometimes it would show that there was signal but actually it was off
the network (and at the area there was full network coverage). To solve
the problem you had to switch it off and on again... Maybe it's just
only my phone but it's a problem that annoyed me a lot... OK, the infrared
didn't work also and I couldn't transfer files on my computer using
a cable either. So, I sent my pictures as MMS to my email address..
However, because the serious problem with the freezing was not happening
very often, I mostly have good impressions from this phone. Easy menu,
clear sound, loud ringtones... and it is so cute!! ;) At the time I
bought it, it was one of the best choices I could have :)

Although this phone was good to begin with, after a few weeks it acts
up for absolutely no reason. Text messages dont always send or are received,
phone calls dont always connect (thought it could occasionally be network
so dont take that too seriously). Also screen freezes and when messages
are received, it takes you to the inbox where the message no longer
exists.Infrared doesnt work at all. Its beyond me why they bother putting
a camera and video function on there because theres no way to keep anythin
from it. This phone is excellent if you arent caught up in an emergency
because its guaranteed not to work during one!!

I've had this phone about a year now and it has been alright. I was
attracted to it because it was so lightweight and had a cool sleek design.
It was also quite cheap at only £100 but then i realised a few weeks
later that the vibrate and melody function didn't work. Since had bought
it online the warranty had worn off and could not send it back but overall
the phone has worked for me. It has been generally reliable and holds
lots of messages and photos. So i would only recommend buying this phone
if you need the basics and are not someone who uses their phone all
day everyday.

I remember loving it from the moment I saw it in 'Virgin'. The camera
is pretty good, you can play realtones and polyphonic tones and my favourite
feature of it is probably the flashing light on the front! The only
bad points I think it has are the video capture volume is awfully low
and the voice memo isn't that good. Other than that I'd say it was a
pretty decent phone!

Looks-wise, this phone is really nice. Sleek and compact, yet when flipped
out, it isn't too tiny to be able to use. It is classically stylish;
silver; with no frills or superfluous detail. The main features of the
phone are good too. The text message folder can hold around 200 messages,
which doesn't seem like a lot of room at all in comparison to other
phones which can store around double that. However, it is a decent enough
number for those who can live without texting every single day. The
photo storage and quality is excellent as well, the only downfall being
the video option, which only allows for 5 thirty-second videos in total.
Not good for the die-hard fans of home made videos. However, the quality
of these videos are still fairly decent, if not a little blurry at times.
There are plenty of in-menu options and many different ways in which
a user can personalise the phone to make it look unique. The sound quality
of the ring tones is very good, the only drawback being the lack of
choice. You can download your own ringtones from the internet though
if you do not like any of the pre-recorded tones. I have not found any
major problems with this phone after having it for 8 months. It is ideal
for someone like me who is not a big phone-user. I prefer to text myself,
so if I could change anything about it, I would make the storage space
much bigger. I find that the signal on this phone is particularly weak,
it is more often than not displaying on-screen "Limited Service", which
is a pain in the backside. The infrared does not work at all, as noted
in previous comments, and although I do not desperately need to connect
to another device right now, it would be useful if I could send my photos
to my computer so they are protected futher. All negatives aside, I
think this is a very good phone if you don't necessarily need large
storage space. It is ideal for someone who isn't a big phone-user. Although,
saying that, I really like this phone despite wishing I'd bought more
memory. It depends on your tolerance levels ;-p xx

I think the Samsung E300 is a good starter phone for younger people.
The photo quality is good, and it can store hundreds of messages and
photos. The let down is that the infrared on mine doesn't seem to connect
to my friend's phone, and I'm not too sure why, because I have't tampered
with the settings or anything stupid like that, so that's a problem
which canNOT be fixed, as I've been to numerous phone shops to see if
I can fix it, with no results. But as I said it's a good starting phone,
but not a very helpful business phone and it has no MP3 player or whatever
else modern phones have now! The camera is quite good though the pictures
it takes aren't always very clear. The screen is pretty small but it
also has a front screen which has optional colours and designs, which
I enjoy changing. It also has a light on the front, which has a few
different colours such as green, blue and pink etc. Overall this phone
isn't Samsung's best but if you're looking for a simple phone with simple
stuff in it, this is the one for you!

is not full of thrills like the d500, it looks good and functions as
it should. well worth the money i paid for it!

Well when i first went to the shop to buy this phone i had to chose
between this one and another one, however i simply chose this one because
of the particular network that it was on, i was quite pleased with my
buy, when i got home i done some research on the phone and it was great
and it was a great buy to!!!

I got this phone as a birthday present last december.The fact that i
choose it was because it was stylish ,sleek and someone's photo popped
upp when they called which i think is one of the main reasons i got
it. When i first got it ,i admit it was quite good but after about 3
months the phone started haveing loads of problems.I Couldn't text anyone
,and when i triedto call someone they couldn't hear me but i could hear
them. My dad sent it away to samsung to be fixed an i waited for about
1-2 months for it to come back. When it came back it was not fixed and
actually much worse than before.So we rang samsung up again and they
said they would charge us a ridicoulous price just to repair it. I also
think the camera quality is so-so and the video is rubbish. If you're
thinking about getting this phone.Don't it's rubbish and will only lead
to you getting frustrated.It isn't worth the hassle. All in all i give
it 0/10 ,i'm definatly switching back to a nokia phone ,at least i know
they are relaible. also this phone has rubbish games.

This phone isnt too great, you can get much better for your money now.
Its looks good but i dont like the shape and its a little samll, which
sometimes is annoying. Although the camera is good and i like that you
can take self protraits easily with the function of a screen on the
front of the phone. This phone looks so similar to some others on market
right now. But it does have a great colour screen so you can display
your photos on the screen well. However If you're thinking of buying
this phone then id advise you to shop around a bit because its not the
best phone on offer.

I love this phone. I have had it since Feb 05 and til this day i have
had no problems with it. The quality of the camera is very good and
you can hold a lot of photos on it compared to other phones. You can
also hold loaads of msgs (no need 2 delete ne to make room for others)
and there is a capacity in the phonebook for 2000 numbers. The image
of the phone is very 'classy' and 'trendy'. It is nice and small so
can easily fit in your pocket. It is a very colourful phone aswel, very
good displays, ringtones etc. Only negatives i have is that you have
to charge it quite a lot and the video quality isnt to good, atleast
is has video though i supose. Price is excelent to!

The samsung e300 is a very versatile phone. perfect for those people
who need a good quality phone etc and would like a good quality camera
along with it. The phone does come with video but they are not the best
of quality and have poor sound. Apart from that there is very little
negatives things about this phone. It looks good, It works well (it
does not freeze) and i love the service light especially when you get
a message!!!! The ringtones are really good quality polophonic and the
ones inclused with the phone are really upbeat and jazzy! You can't
change the message tone but what the hay...it's the message thats the
important thing right?!?!?! My favourite thing about this phone is when
you hold down th camera button on the side of the phone and use the
screen on the front...its very useful as a mirror to check you're hairs
in place!(girls!?!?) Yes, must admit, great phone and looks really snazzy
and expensive but guess what...ITS NOT WOOOOHHOOO!!! mairi - 13 xxxx

In my opinion the e 300 is the worst phone i have ever purchased ,the
battery will not hold charge for more than 3 hrs,the phone will work
for about 6 months ,when you phone up to complain about them all you
will be told is to take it to their repair centre ,which you are informed
that it will take 10 working days to repair ,also you will find that
samsung are giving the e300 free ,when you purchase another more expensive
phone, you can also buy a new battery for the e300 on e bay,so that
indicates that there is a problem with the e 300, but they are quick
enough to take your money,but dont tell you the battery will only last
for 6 months,dont buy the e300 ,unless you have money to throw away
,my rating would be well below zero ,poor quality product with even
worse customer care,

When the samsung e300 arrived at my door i was so excited.But then everything
seemed to change after a couple of days it jst died i cud hear people
on the fone but they couldnt hear me.then i got the same 1 agen but
it is still awful it keeps crashing and i am not very impressed by the
features i think the ringtones are very poor quality and are 2 loud
there are hardly any of them the video recording isnt that impressive
either u can only record for about 30 seconds and the fone only has
enough memory 2 store six video captures which is quite rubbish and
when u keep recording more it goes down so it records for 25 seconds
then 20 then 15 then 10 then 5 then u cant record anymore. And the recording
quality is jst appauling!!! and u cant use them as ringtones mind u
i dont think any1 wud want 2 its like having a helicopter, a beeper,
and a plastic bag as a ringtone.I dont know why samsung have spent all
this money and they have come up with this! i tried 2 send my frenz
sum pictures with infared but it doesnt even work! but u no all the
rest is fine- good- excellent itll do. but if u want a fone that has
good features that i have just complained about i advise u not 2 get
this fone.

I really wanted to get the E310 cos i really like the lights flashing
on both sides of the top flip (they look like eyes :))) But it's only
available on vodafone and didnt want their crappy menus permanantly
stuck on my beautiful screen (i had sagem my-v65 before) so i got this
orange version which isnt too bad cos it's in black whereas all the
sim free ones are in that dull grey colour so i'm happy!!

This is to the two reviewers below: To set voice recordings as ringtones,
you need to first send it by MMS to an email address to your pc and
then using the easyGPRS program you have to transfer it your Sounds
folder and then set it as a ringtone. This phone comes with 4 preinstalled
games so i dont know what the other reviewer meant when thay said it
doesnt have any. Other than the few limitations that this phone has
(voices and video folders cannot be accessed by the easyGPRS program
and you cant send videos by MMS) i think this is a good phone for the
price.
