Samsung P300 Mobile Phone Review

Samsung P300 Details

usa dude Already on Verizon who doesn't carry this one. Don't care. I am absotively getting this one. Taking it to T-Mobile unlocked as soon as I receive it. Looks just like a retro calculator and size is terrific. Retro chic is IN! I believe the design is a stroke of genius.

ps alrite campers ive had me p300 casio lol a couple of days now and i love its great coz ill never get mugged coz it looks a casio calculator. who needs 3g thats crap fm radio its got an mp3 player you can get a couple of songs on which is enough you dont by a mobile to be an mp3 or camera or radio you buy it to txt and call people. everythink else is a bonus and it does everythink well. the only problem is that o2 havent got pay as you go settings for it yet so i cant send mms pics yet.

SHAHID KHAN hi

<unknown> To Hannah ,

Obviousely you are chuffed with your phone because it is something new......BUT it's not going to be for long when you get pissed off by this phone......once you found out that it is so rubbish!

Good luck.

<unknown> the cover for this phone isn't too great and it's annoying when you're taking/using the phone because of the flap being there. but the only good thing really is how thin the phone is.

ethics Calculator??? I thought it looked like a toaster.

Gary I have owned this phone now for about 2 months so thought i would post my comments.

There are many comments on here that i would take with a pinch of salt because they don't really hold any truth.

The looks.

If i am honest the only reason i bought this phone was because of the looks and more importantly its size. Yes it looks like a calculator but why is that a bad thing - and if you don't like the looks why are you even considering the phone and wasting everyones time posting that as a negative.

The phone is the exact same size as a credit card and the advantage being is you can take this phone out on a night and not have a pocket bulge like you would with other units.

I could have had any handset I wanted. I have access to any handset I want working for a network operator yet I choose this phone because it does everything a 'normal' person could want in a small form factor.

The negatives to me are primarily down to how the phone rings.

-The phones ringtones are not as loud as my SE K750i. This is probably down to the same speaker being used for the tones as is used for voice. Also because the phone isn't able to ring and vibrate at the same time you can miss calls. If you use the case you'll probably miss calls.

-The SMS tones cannot be changed.

- The phone is easy to scratch. I take good care of my phones yet there are plenty of surface scrathces in the metal. I assume this is because the metal is laquered. Anyone know if the phone can be polished?

One thing i would like to add is why are people commenting that the phone is slow at manually altering the network? I mean how often do people actually use the feature. If you are in the UK you should never need to use the feature unless you are roaming and for some reason don't like the network you have been defaulted to.

Nokia Esq The P300 is better use as a calculator than a phone :-

- This phone is not comfortable to hold when talking.
- The quality of the hands free speaker phone is not so good.
- There is no vib + ring at the same time.
- The software is outdated because it took the phone forever to initialize(don't forget this is a simple phone without features).
- Everything is SLOW with this phone.....e.g. took a long time to find new service providers in MANUAL mode, took forever to jump to another provider when you cross the border from one place to another. It took hours to fully charge the battery.

<unknown> Obviously, this phone isn't for everyone. This was primarily a design exercise to see how many features they can cram into a tiny package. Because of that you sacrifice a lot in terms of useability. Features:size ratio of this can't be beat.

I've had this for months and since I value size more than anything-I'd say this was STILL the best phone I've ever had. The 2nd best is my D600 which is also awesome!

Nick CONCLUSION:
This phone does not work as a phone at all! (just like most of the Samsung phones)
So why the hell Samsung calls it a cellular phone?

THEY SHOULD RENAME THIS DEVICE:
New Name:
An advanced, multimedia calculator.
As an advanced multimedia calculator this toy would get 5.0 score for sure!
