Sony Ericsson T303 Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: An entry-level phone that's compact and nicely styled. The T303 has very basic functionality and hardly any memory, but it does have excellent battery life.

Review: October 2008. Updated April 2009.

The Sony Ericsson T303 isn't a Cyber-Shot and it isn't a Walkman phone. Instead it's an entry-level phone with a basic set of functions.

It's very nicely styled, with soft edges and a mirror glass display, and is available in a choice of Shadow Black or Shimmering Silver. It's compact and kind of cute looking, with a small but functional keypad.

The T303 includes a 1.3 megapixel camera with digital zoom. This is fine for taking quick snaps in good lighting, but there's no flash, so taking pictures indoors or at night isn't recommended. No video camera is included.

It does come with a media player and an FM radio with RDS. Unfortunately the memory is limited to 8 Mbytes, with no memory card slot, so you'll only be able to store a couple of MP3 tracks. These can be used as ringtones.

The battery life is excellent, and the connectivity options include both Bluetooth and USB. If you're looking for a compact phone that's good for making calls, sending texts, and maybe taking the odd photo, then this could be the one! The Sony Ericsson F305 is a step up if you'd like the benefit of a memory slot, a better camera and better games.

Features of the Sony Ericsson T303 include:

  • 1.3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
  • Display: TFT, 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
  • MP3 player
  • FM radio RDS
  • TrackID™
  • MP3/AAC ringtones
  • Speakerphone
  • Sound recorder
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS
  • Java games
  • Picture wallpaper
  • Personal organiser functions
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
  • Memory: 8 Mbytes
  • Vibration alert
  • Triband (GSM 900/1800/1900)
  • Size: 83 x 47 x 15 mm
  • Weight: 93g
  • Talktime: 9 hours
  • Battery standby: 400 hours

Inherited from my wife, because she really couldn't stand it - went Blackberry.
No problem, I thought, I hardly ever use it. Won't bother me.
How wrong could I be?
On the rare occasions I've had to use it, I practically couldn't... Living in the bottom of a rucksack, likely to have switcged itself on and run flat.
Or it had become locked.
Or it was just being mystifying.
How long do you have to press down to switch it on or off or pick up a call? Seems to vary at random between one millisecond and two months. And that's not either / or. Continuous sliding scale between the two...

User-hostile and counter-intuitive.

I got a Samsung flippy thing a bit like Gibbs's instead. Doddle.

At last. Somebody with a bit of common sense. I have also asked myself why it is that people spend a while checking up on the specs of a mobile phone that they intend to buy and then slag it off as soon as they buy it? I have just won this phone on eBay.co.uk for £8 + £3 postage. I have not received it yet but as long as it sends and receives calls on the O2 network I'll be as happy as Larry. Cheers, 5tevie ps ....

So why are people complaining about the specification, if you want better specification why buy it? You don't buy a tin of baked beans and expect to find spaghetti inside! Great little well built phone, no problem with volume of calls (it is adjustable)and no problem with signal. The keys could be a bit small for people with large hands.

A decent, no frills phone. Mine was £20 refurbished and was already unlocked - can't say fairer than that. I really don't want another camera/MP3 player/games console and I don't text much, so it's ideal. And LOL at all those moaning about the lack of internal memory and no expandablity. Learn to read kiddies, then you can check reviews and specs BEFORE you buy a phone. Idiots.

This is a cracker, and I'll tell you why. I had a rather large Nokia , model number is one i dont care to remember, but in all the years i had owned it, it had refused to die despite the most appalling treatment and on several occasions i had been convinced i would never get rid of it. Needless to say vanity won the day last week, when i brought the t303 home. Unlike some reviewers on this site, I had been determined to find out as much as possible about this phone before it came to permanently replace the old workhorse. I got hold of the user's guide/manual on pdf and had a thorough read. I compared this phone's features against others in detail and then made my choice. The expandable memory was top of my list and since the t303 lacked this I wondered what else it had to compensate. It is a very small phone which for me would probably be overcompensating for the Nokia. The T303 has en eyelet on it's side from which a wrist /neck strap could be hung: less danger of losing it then. It has a simple yet classy design, a fact I confirmed when I held it in my hands for the first time. Volume through the earpiece is vey good. Also suppled with earphones. It has bluetooth; file sharing is a must; Capacity for ringtones and themes taken care of. There are free themes/ringtones available for download from S/E site, my tenner roped in to the purchase deal for the phone would come in handy. Note, a propriety USB cable would be an additional expense. My mp3 player is my preferred data storage device. I am not a chatterbox and hence battery life is one I can live with very comfortably. It has FM so does my music player, and more than once, I've started a train journey little realising, I had not charged the player in advance. Crumbs... Not likely now. Camera is adequate, I mostly send photos of things seen whilst out shopping to mates and family anyway. As an experiment, I have uploaded almost an hour's worth of mp3 files on to this phone. A little confession first, the mp3 files are converted mono versions of songs further encoded at lower bit rates. The lower quality is not noticealbe to any great extent on this phone especially if listening at a low to moderate volume setting. You'd have to be a skinflint audio phile to complain about this. Overall, a very good phone and it is excellent value for money. I cannot expect a phone to include all features referred to as missing on this site without a rise in cost or a loss in battery life Considering you get what you pay for, I certainly do not feel short changed in choosing the T303

If you want a tiny phone with excellent battery life, this is it. Bonus, it's inexpensive. If you want features, features, and more features that you will never use, then this is not the phone for you. Likewise, it's not the phone for those who want to constantly be entertained with games or to have an iPod and phone in one. However, it does have a radio. Most would probably prefer the black model over the silver, as the latter has an annoyingly functional mirror created by the screen.

So let me get this straight. Either you went into a shop and said, "Please give me a cute phone and it doesn't matter what the specs are" OR you went into a phone shop and spent hours and hours doing research about which phones had the best specs and then you bought one that you already knew had no memory card slot. Did you think that a Leprechaun would put a memory card slot in the phone for you overnight? Please, please, please, would you just tell us why you bought this phone. Cheers, 5teve

If you are like me and require a phone, for talking to people, texting and organising those sorts of functions then this little phone is perfect. If you want a toy to play with then go for something else. I have never yet come across a camera in a phone that’s of much use, emailing, web browsing listening to music, file storing etc aren’t the point of the T303 and shouldn’t be expected. So once again this is a near perfect little phone, mine is now 4 weeks old and has been totally reliable, is high quality with a solid clunk to the slider, it looks good, slips into my shirt pocket and has all the functions a phone should have. Battery life is long, speaker is now good and loud since I found the volume control, - highly recommended and a bargain.

Well, I bought one of these things for £35 and for the money you can't fault it. I bought it as my C902 got stolen and the insurance won't replace it so I needed something cheap so I could at least use all my contract minutes and texts till I get an upgrade in November. Main issues: * the screen is very low-res and the viewing angle ain't up to much - not looking forward to trying to work it on a sunny day or if I've taken halluciogens * there is no memory for pictures or MP3 - but the way I look at it, it's not a camera phone. It's a phone that happens to have a camera that you can use in case of extreme emergency - if you suddenly see the loch ness monster or are first on the scene of a major plane crash, you will still be able to get a quick snapshot to send to the newspapers, but it's not gonna take great pics of your mates out on the lash. * the quality from the earpiece isn't fab, but it is useable. the worst thing for me is that it does not appear to be compatible with the Sony Ericsson PC suite (even though the phone can connect to your PC with USB) - meaning I can't easily migrate the 300 or so contacts stored on my PC. On the plus side, it's built like the proverbial brick outhouse. Considering this was the cheapest phone in the shop at £30 on prepay, you really cannot afford to be sniffy for this kind of money. These days you can't even get three rounds of drinks in for yourself and two mates in the pub for that kind of money! Cheap and cheerful - I'd give it 7 out of 10 if we were marking out of 10, but 4 out of 5 will have to do.

This is basically what it says on the box - An entry level, simple phone. I've always been a big Sony fanboy, but recently my loyalty has been tested with their slider phones. I've had the W580i and the W910i and both of them have had loose sliders. Not just in isolation either, I had at least 4 different handsets of each phone and all were loose. So my hopes for this weren't great but I purchased it anyway and I'm pleased I did. It's a brilliant reliable phone. Everything works perfectly. I've had it for 3 months and the only tiny problem has been the phone freezing once or twicc during uploads of pictures to my PC. The buttons are all nice and easy to use, although the key pad needs breaking in and getting used to at first. If you want a cheap, reliable, no thrills phone that looks good - buy this one!

The specification for this phone covers all of my requirements. It's a basic phone, and it is capable of sending and receiving texts. I don't want a camera on a phone as none of the camera phones which I've used are up to stand alone cameras. The phone is nicely styled and feels substantial. The Bluetooth feature works well. However it uses a different contacts referencing logic to other Sony Phones, and so transfer of your contacts via the SIM card is more complicated than it should be. BUT: I live in a marginal area for reception and this phone is the worst which I have had (or which I have seen operating) in this area for loosing the signal. This is a pity as in other respects this is a fine basic phone.

Totally agree with Karyn from Australia - a phone is a phone is a phone. Granted it does have a small memory which may not be to everyone's liking, but you get what you pay for. This is a inexpensive but nice looking phone with an fm radio and a camera. If you're looking for an all singing all dancing portable do-all then go out and spend a few hundred bucks on something. People should really check a few reviews and do a bit of research before parting with their money. One reason I bought this is because of the size and ease of use - particularly the slider. I bought it for our 8-year old, who is largely paralysed and can barely hold a phone (but, boy, can he use it!). He's just tickled pink because he's just figured out how to open it with the one hand he can use - took some doing but it's the perfect phone for him. The menus are pretty easy to follow - much like on his mother's, aforementioned, all singing all dancing portable media centre. I bought the UK T-Mobile Daisy edition. You get a plain and a daisy patterned battery cover with this edition, plus a little daisy "fob". I paid a few quid to unlock it from T-Mobile's grasp - no problems there. Battery life seems pretty good too. Can't fault it for what I paid.

Best low cost phone on the market. Recommended. I bought my T303 from Dick Smiths, for $99. I was looking for a phone with basic features, such as the 1.3 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth, etc. Compact size and sleek design, and pleasant to use for texting. I got my moneys worth. I am extremely happy with this product. I had a bit of trouble trying to figure out how to turn speaker volume up on a call, but that was user-error (didn't read the manual properly) For me, it is what a phone is conventionally used for, an attractive appearance, and a camera a cut-above from the VGA is a good. I don't beleieve it is necessary to manage all my cultural and social expereinces on a digital context. I text my friends, I make calls, and take pictures. That's it. I have a stereo, a personal laptop, and a good social life. I don't want a phone that controls my life for me. I'm beyond happy with my SE T303.

My parents bought me this phone for its cheapness. I liked it at first for its design, but hated it after an hour of use, due to its: ridiculously tiny screen; pixellated image quality; bad speaker quality in phone calls; tendency to lag between applications and menu screens; and unimpressive range of other features. Unless you're only going to be using this phone to call in moderation, I in no way recommend you buy this.

What a sexy cool mmmm I want one of them pile of junk this phone is. Wolf in sheeps clothing it is not, more like that sexy girl you been looking at for weeks only to find when you take her out she is as rough as a tramps underpants. So we know its cheap but you at least expect sony E to have realised rubbish software in its phones are migrating its customers to LG and the like but no we still get cute phone ith naff software. I am not the quickest texter on the planet but i am three lines ahead of the phone within seconds. Slow is an understatement. After only two weeks the speaker is all crackly so it sounds like earth to mars everytime i get a call. I could go on...... its a nice phone as i said like the lasses in southend in many ways all brassy,tempramental, no class but cheap and fun for a few hours.

I recieved this as a christmas present, excellent design, i love the mirror on the front screen, i can look at myself. Down sides are not a good enough amount of memory, i can only store 1 song on and I want more! Pitty there isn't a memory card slot. You can't really hear the other person on the phone, i have to switch ears all the time. Might get a new one for my birthday, not the same phone, maybe a lj webslider.

I bought this phone because I have no need of a high-end one. All I require is the ability to make calls. The phone is compact, looks attractive but I have been plagued, over and over with one specific problem: Very often when I try to get into my messages or contacts I get a message saying that it's opening that section but doesn't succeed. This has happened on several occasions when I have been in dire need of making a call. In short, I can in no way rely on it. I have dispraxia and rely on it to remember and access the numbers for me and despite the low price, I expect at least that.

I have this as my spare phone and I think it is creat. I got it for less than £35 and it looks and feels as if it cost so much more. It doesn;t have a million features, just the basiscs, and it does everything very well indeed. It is very small, unlike the huge bricks on offer everywhere these days. If you want someithing smart, well designed, high quality and great value for money, without loking as if you got i from the bargain bin, this is the phone for you. If you want all the features, spend a mortgage payment on an iPhone.

I bought this phone 2 weeks back and the phone software is very buggy. The screen gets garbled and turns completely white. Initially I had to re-start it to come back to normal. But now, when i start up the phone, the screen is completely white and stays that way for ever. It does ring though when anyone calls or if there is an alarm!! Anyways will return it.

for all the people reading the bad reviews out there, stop and read this one. Those ppl knew what they were buying, with a not so great camera or song memory. this is why iPods and HD Camcorders were made! it does what you need it to, with great battery life for phone calls and (depending on ur contract / pay-as-you-go) many texts. its stylish, solid, unique, does everything it says on the tin. Fully Recomended.

Had one of these for a couple of weeks. For you function_freaks - Thia is a BASIC Web/PHONE - but that's all I wanted. Good reception in poor signal areas, amazing battery life (in real life) Fab design (easily lost) and the one song I USB'd into memory(whilst updating phone software) took up over half of it LOL Mine is a Black version and does NOT have a mirrored (girly) TFT screen! Screen, text legibility, Themes and Colours are excellent as is the blue, backlit, slide out, keyboard. 9/10 (due to no memory card slot!)

I needed to get a cheap phone to use for mainly texting.And on my student budget 50 quid got me a pretty nice phone! The fact it is made of metal is really good as ive found it to be very hardwearing and feels quite solid whilst your texting! (dropped twice from about 5 ft onto pavement! And no bumps or problems!) It looks really good too with the mirrored screen, but i find im constantly wiping the screen as the shinyness looks awful with finger marks! The only problems is that the memory is really bad! I put about 2 songs on and about 20 pics max and it got full! and you can only save about 10 messages, However the inbox holds about 150 messages and a few pic messages which was quite good! It does take a few seconds to connect too when answering calls and sometimes also crashes if you press things too fast! But i found the internet to be working really easilly, and the actual ease of use of the phone was very simple to use and required no reading of instructions! The camera is okay! But has no flash and if your a shakey hand photographer then it can blur easilly! But its fine for basic pics! Only major problem is that my on/off button has now broke after a month or so! However this phone came with a years warrenty so will be replaced no problem! Overall its a really nice looking small phone for the price and does all the basic functions you need from a phone! Quite hard wearing and feels really solid so great for texters! Easy enough to set up everything when you get it too! Not too bad as a phone, buy a camera/ipod if you want good photos and lots of music! haha

There are some very mixed reviews on this phone, and mine's a combination of the good and bad. I chose this phone cos I'm a student on a budget and just wanted something that would make calls, send texts, and look good, and the T303 does those three things well enough, so it was worth my £50. However, when I answer a phone call it does take like 5 seconds to connect to the phone ringing me from when I slide mine open - does anyone else find this?! I end up saying "hello?" about three times down the line before I hear my mate's voice which gets a bit annoying. Another thing is, don't buy this phone for its photo-taking abilities cos it's pretty poor on that, with no flash, but as I said, if you're like me and just want the basics from a good-looking phone, the T303 is probably for you.

Not a bad mobile overall. 2 cons are: Camera is only 1.3 megapixel (pictures taken aren't of a very good quality) and overall memory is only 8mb. This mobile is perfect for those who have a good digital camera and a mp3 player of some sort and won't be relying on T303 for these 2 duties! I have only had the T303 for a week but overall I like the design and the weight of the mobile. It fit's into the palm of your hand and your pocket. It has that slic look about it. As you end a call and close the slider, after about 15 seconds the screen turns into a mirror. Handy feature for those who like to look at themselves constantly. :-)

I just bought this phone and I have to say for £49.99 it's pretty good. It's a simple no frills phone with a colour screen, SMS, MMS and calling feature and a fairly decent 1.3 megapixel camera. I think people are expecting too much from this phone. It's not a high end phone therefore you won't get high end features. The only thing for me is getting used to a smaller screen but hell we managed with no colour screens for years I'm sure getting used to a smaller screen won't take long! All in all, cute, compact and does what it says on the tin! For those wanting more - you need to fork out more money.

Looking at some of the bad reviews on here, you'd think people don't pay any attention to what phone they're buying. Lack of memory, no dedicated music features, and low screen resolution: aren't these all things you should be aware of before you purchase? Believe it or not, for some of us these things are actually advantages. We don't want the menus cluttered with features we'll never use, or superb screens that suck battery life in a matter of hours. But we do want a nice little phone that's got better build quality than the plasticky "budget" handsets (see anything Nokia offers for less than £50). There aren't many such phones on the market, but the T303 is one of them, and it does an excellent job of doing the things it's designed for.

Worst phone i've ever had! it looks cheap, it feels cheap, infact, it looks like a toy.And considering how small it is its actually really heavy!Alot heavier than my w580i, which i loved but got nicked. The graphics are rubbish cos of the low screen res, the keypad is really hard to press which means you keep overpressing the keys and not getting the letter you want.Some sites say it has a memory card slot,dont believe them - it doesn't. 8mb of memory on the phone is all you get.Just everything about this phone is nasty. I've had it a week and already all the plastic bits are scratched, and i rarely use it! so i dont know what it would look like by now with a heavy user! I am already looking for a different one, i can't stand this phone any longer.
