Sony Ericsson W302 Review

Phone rating:

In a nutshell: A budget Walkman phone, the W302 appears to offers a lot in an attractive slimline package: 2 megapixel camera, video camera, Walkman player, FM radio, memory card and Bluetooth. But the keys are small, the menu slow and the sound a bit too quiet. No themes are available to install and there is no PC sync software. Available in Midnight Black or Sparkling White.

Review: January 2009. Updated June 2009.

Sony Ericsson have done a lot with the W302 to bring their Walkman range within reach of the entry-level market. This phone now retails for well under £100. It's an attractive superslim phone, measuring just 10.5mm thick and weighing a featherlight 78g. With an aluminium front, it feels strong enough to take some damage despite its small size. We'll take one star away for the keypad however, as the keys are gratuitously small and spaced out too far.

This is definitely a step up from previous budget Walkman phones like the W200i or W350i, which both missed out on some important features such as Bluetooth or a video recorder. There's nothing obviously missing from the spec of the W302. The screen is a TFT display with 262,000 colours, although the resolution is a little on the low side at 176 x 220 pixels. The camera is reasonable - 2 megapixels plus a video recorder - although there's no flash. Obviously there's an excellent Walkman player included, plus the bonus of an FM radio with RDS. The memory is rather small, at just 20 MB, but you can add memory cards up to 4GB. Connectivity is by Bluetooth or USB. Battery life is average.

However, even though this is a budget phone, there are still some problems that are really unacceptable. We deducted one star for the keypad, and we also have issues with the low volume from the speaker, the lack of customisable themes, and the fact that the phone menus are so slow. There is no PC sync software supplied, so the only way to move data onto the phone is via USB mass storage. Texting using the T9 software is painful, and the network connection doesn't seem to be robust, with the phone sometimes losing the network even in a good signal location. Although Sony Ericsson have packed a lot into this phone, we still feel that we should get more for our money. It could have been a 5 star phone if Sony Ericsson had put some more effort into ironing out these problems. We'd recommend the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic as a better alternative.

Features of the Sony Ericsson W302 include:

  • 2 megapixel camera with 2.5x digital zoom and image stabiliser
  • Video camera
  • Display: TFT, 262,000 colours, 176 x 220 pixels
  • Walkman player (plays music and video)

  • Speakerphone
  • Sound recorder
  • Messaging: SMS, MMS, email
  • 3D Java games
  • Animated wallpaper
  • Personal organiser functions
  • Internet: EDGE, web browser
  • Memory: 20 Mbytes plus Memory Stick Micro™ (M2™) support (up to 4GB)
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
  • Flight mode
  • Vibration alert
  • Quadband
  • Size: 100 x 46 x 10.5 mm
  • Weight: 78g
  • Talktime: 7 hours
  • Battery standby: 300 hours

This is a terrible phone slow menu rubbish themes and diabolical sound! what where they thinking about when they made this phone? I gave this phone 2 stars because there's this site called my W302 where you can get themes,ringtones.images and very good selection of games. Did i mention the poor signal quality and the internet that take a million years to load? please do not buy this or you will be regreting it. Go buy a W705 if you want a phone that's 10x better.

I've also been fooled into buying this phone when I saw wich features it had for such a low price. Every phone should at least work fine, no matter how expensive or cheap. They better make their budget phones with less (smooth working) features instead of adding all the features of a more expensive phone in poor quality.

Go this wee phone for €50 - bargain. If you want a phone that does everything then go spend the money on one, however, if you want a simple tidy phone for messaging, calls & walkman you couldn't beat this for the price. To upload tunes just plug the USB cable in and do it via mass storage (no hassle).I put a 2gb memory card in mine so there's loads of room for music.

I use my phone for talking and text messaging. The other features are nice-to-haves. As other reviewers have mentioned, the sound level is low, but another irritation is the fact that the phone has only one barely audible message alert tone leading the user to have to waste their time searching for useful tones and writing disgruntled reviews. I previously used the Z310i, a very basic phone but a solid one. For text messaging, my personal preference is to use predictive text, and with the Z310i, this was an absolute pleasure. With that phone I was able to efficiently type quite lengthy messages with limited discomfort. The W310 becomes slower and slower as a message gets longer, with the text display lagging the typing by 1 or 2 words after a mere 3 or 4 lines. I understand that predictive text usually uses space characters to sense the end of word. The W302 often decides in mid word that it has reached the end and needs to start a new word, leading to absolute gobbledygook. Because of the delay these are not seen immediately and one ends up with a message largely needing to be retyped. Adding to the frustration is inaccessibility to the custom dictionary. Every once in a while some said gobbledygook would get added to the dictionary (Yes, it does this automatically and without confirmation) and the only way to remove it seems to be a system reset. Quality, from the customer perspective is a measure of how well a product satisfies his/her personal requirements. If I were rating a walkman or camera, I’d give this a few stars, but since my personal requirement is for a communication tool, I feel it fails dismally. I’d give it a zero rating if that were possible….

All the other stuff, I don’t need except for the camera. I tried a C902 and I was very disappointed because it kept freezing and restarting, Google maps was rubbish and reception was poor.(I leave in an area with poor reception from my provider)I have to say I'll have W302 anytime over the C902.

Id give this fone 5 stars if it wasnt for the fact that ive only had it a week and have already gotta send it back for a repair job coz i keep getting the wsod even tho ive done as suggested bymanual eg a master reset and took battery and sim out to reboot. Makes no difference my fone still freezes esp if i listen to music on it which is totally anoying and i either have to turn it on and off to get it working again or leave it to ride out coz it wont even switch off. I even sent a msg to se for advice and they toldme to go to their website and do a software update on the fone and that will sort it- only prob is u cant do software updates on the W302 so they dont even know what they are talking bout. Other anoying thing is it dont come with a cd so u have to go on se site and download what u need frm there for the fone. You need to download media manager on ur pc to transfer music to ur fone frm ur pc but it dont mention any of that in the manual plus when u select the W302 o n the website and it comes up with all the download info it does not have the media manager download so i had to select a different phone and download it frm the information for that fone which is stupid. Apart frm all that the fone is great and i hope the sort the wsod problemout for good coz i do like the fone a lot. Its really stylish looking,light and easy to you plus you get 2 memory cards with it.

Good points: Value for money (I paid < £55). SE definitely have good FM radio chips. Relatively small and light. Comes with jack for alternative (non-SE) headphones. Bad points: The W302 does NOT sync with Outlook, despite what's claimed in some places on the web. No software to manage MP3 files on the phone from a PC. The download of MP3 files feels cheap & clunky; it's just treating the phone and its memory card as USB storage devices. Games, themes, etc. are of no interest to me.

The biggest flaw of the phone is its inability to synchronize contact data with a PC. What's the point in having all the needed interfaces(blue tooth and USB) and not being able to backup your phones data to the PC! Nice design but it feels like an unfinished product, since the firmware unnecessarily prevents the much needed PC-synchronization. Besides that the output volume of MP3's is low and the battery life is not that great. Please fix it Sony Ericsson!

i got this phone december 30 2008. at first i thought it's the same with the w890i exept for the a2dp, 3g,megapix of the cam, and network capability.but it's not.first it's not stable.if i type fast on the numpad for text messaging it doesnt give the correct alphabet. example is when i press the number 6 button twice as fast as possible, instead of giving me an "n" it gives "mm".second it has low memory.if i send a big mp3 file via bluetooth,it can only store up to the memory available at that time.example, i'll send a 6mb mp3 file, if the unit has only 3mb left on its internal, probably shared, memory it can only accept that, so the file is incomplete,but it can be remedied by restarting the phone.third the shortcuts are limited.if you use the w890 or even my old k810, you can select wherever you want to shortcut.like sms/inbox or filemanager/music or no matter how deep it is from the root menu.last is the charging,it doesn't show you realtime status of the percentage of the battery being charged.the bar still moves from end to end unlike the other w series that when it's about to be full the bar moves closer to the "full end" and you can not add more themes and operator logos in to it.the appearance is nice though

It has got a pretty good keypad even though it is pretty small, looks good and has the usual walkman player etc, so the music side of it is good. as for the rest it seams a bit of a con to call this a se, as the software inside it is terrible, it looks like se but its so restrictive. such a shame as if this had been sorted before release it would have been a much better phone. fingers crossed for an update :(

Do not buy! Speaker phone is useless! Keypad is too small! Contact list chops names off! No features! Do not buy! I like Sony Ericsson and have bought many of their phones. This is one that I regretted big time.

First off, everyone bitching about how bad this phone is is spoiled. How can you expect a phone at such a low cost to do all the things of a cell twice its price? And if you bitch because of its features, maybe you should've researched it more. This phone does the job. It places calls, receives calls and texts just fine. Camera is pretty good, but seriously if you wanna take a good pic, pull out a real camera; and if you want better music quality, go buy some vinyls.

I simply can not believe a phone that retails at £80 does NOT have either voice dialing or worse, PC synchronisation...!!!?? Really, this could have been a good phone, but abscence of these items really cripple this phone for me.

The looks of this fone are quite appealing.. bt that's where the gud side ends.. tho the bluetooth transfer speeds are ok, it dissapointed me coz it aint got no room for themes! But the music wid earphones ON is pretty gud!

i got this phone december 30 2008. at first i thought it's the same with the w890i exept for the a2dp, 3g,megapix of the cam, and network capability.but it's not.first it's not stable.if i type fast on the numpad for text messaging it doesnt give the correct alphabet. example is when i press the number 6 button twice as fast as possible, instead of giving me an "n" it gives "mm".second it has low memory.if i send a big mp3 file via bluetooth,it can only store up to the memory available at that time.example, i'll send a 6mb mp3 file, if the unit has only 3mb left on its internal, probably shared, memory it can only accept that, so the file is incomplete,but it can be remedied by restarting the phone.third the shortcuts are limited.if you use the w890 or even my old k810, you can select wherever you want to shortcut.like sms/inbox or filemanager/music or no matter how deep it is from the root menu.last is the charging,it doesn't show you realtime status of the percentage of the battery being charged.the bar still moves from end to end unlike the other w series that when it's about to be full the bar moves closer to the "full end" the appearance is nice though

quite a good phone for its price. i hate the fact that new games can not be downloaded, very clamsy for a SE but fair enough for its price.

SE apparently decided to put the applications, games and music/pictures in 3 separate places. At times the phone seems to restart for no obvious reason and I had it crash on me a couple of times. This phone can only use preinstalled themes leaving users with very little customization options. The price is also quite high (1400rmb) for a low-end device. I'd recommend this phone if SE can half its price.

Maybe a bit less than you may expect from Sony Ericsson, but still good phone and I think that those problems (themes, sound and etc.) will be solved during software update (I hope). So, all in all, good phone!
