Advantages: the battery last long, can make your own ringtones, come with a 256MB memory card.

Disadvantages: picture quality, unchangable cover

I got this sony erricsson a few months ago from phones4u and I think it is one of the coolest mobiles I have ever owned. Of course now they are other new Sony erricsson brands which are better than this W300i. I am very pleased that my W330i is still working and looking brand new. Of course I have to try and keep it clean as I can not change the mobile cover which is rather a let down. Because I cant change the cover I had to buy a mobile sock which protects the mobile phone from scratches etc.

This mobile has five games. The neopets game which has an extended two games (blocks and Go Go lutari), puzzle slider which is rather annoying to play as it drives me crazy and quad drop which is more like Tetris but you match musical symbols instead.
The mobile has quiet a lot of ring tones which some of them I like and some are rather crazy to even keep on my mobile so I deleted them. You can also make your own ring tones by downloading them via the internet, by recording them, or by composing them using the sony ericsson Music DJ application.

I bought the mobile phone for £90 though the price has now declined nowadays. You can buy this mobile from many different phone shops e.g. carphone warehouse, comet, phone4u etc. On this note I think its best you do some research before you buy the mobile as the prices do vary. I did some research before I bought mine and save at least £20.

The mobile came in a small black box and had a Sony M2 256MB memory card which keeps quiet a lot of mp3 songs and pictures. In the box there was also the stylish looking headphones, which to my luck still work as people used to say they die a few months after using them, there was also the USB cable which I use to transfer music and pictures onto and from my computer. I have never really had any problems using the USB cable. However for me to use the USB cable I had to run the installation Disc that also came into the box, which took less than five minutes.
It's not only the USB cable which I use to transfer files, but also the integrated Bluetooth and infrared which lets me connect wirelessly and is rather fast depending on how big the file is.

The battery life lasts long, when I charge my mobile to the fullest which takes me less than two hours, the battery always last me at least three days and I use the mobile quiet frequently.

This mobile has fm radio which works very well and catches channel like a DAB radio (though it's not). You can save your favourite channels and can also use the fm radio as the alarm.
Just like other mobile phones you can use this mobile to send SMS, MMS and e-mails. It's never really hard to use the message application; all you got to do is go to the menu and select messages. Talking about menu you also find camera were you can take pictures and videos. I must say the picture quality is not the best I've seen out there, it's only 256k colours nowadays you get the 5MP.
The mobile phone also has an organiser were you can save your appointments and anniversaries, phone book, system settings, media album and entertainment.

Overall I would recommend this mobile to those who love music and are into flip phones. The mobile phone is very easy to use, and i my self has not had any problems whilst using the mobile phone. The picture quality is rather a hold back from buying the mobile but the rest is cool. The buttons are soft and have this stylish look which I never seen on any mobile and they are quiet huge. When you close the flip phone you can view the time and date, which is helpful when I don't have my watch on.

Summary: a smart phone with a battery that lasts long.
