I LOVE IT!! It is such a cool phone. Everyone thinks it is a calculator, so I can get away with using it at work. I would highly recommend this phone. Only one negative, the ring tone is very quiet even on the highest volume level

I've had tis phone for about a week now,
It's a great phone. It still amases me how small it is. Fantastic phone
The Bigest Problem I have found is the signal strenth is not that great. I get a lot of break up. Doesnt actualy drop calls But has that anoying breakup.
The T9 is always off so when you come to text you have to switch it on.
Apart from that It's a brill Phone.

After three weeks with the phone, this is my pro/con list:
pros:
1. Good bright display
2. Love the size and the look. I really don't feel it in my coat pocket.
3. Battery life is great, five days is typical without the sleeve, longer with it.
cons:
1. Shortcuts are limited. You can only select the upper menus. So I can have a shortcut to the setup menu, but not the call forwarding part. Same thing with java apps, I'd like to replace the shortcut to the WAP browser with a shortcut to Opera Mini, but I can't, cause that key is not reprogrammable.
2. Display shuts down completely, so I have to hit a key to read the time or see if I have messages.
3. Can't associate a picture with numbers on the SIM. You have to copy the number to the phone first.
4. The WAP browser has a totally different T9 behavior than the rest of the phone. It doesn't use the same button to switch mode, and you have to switch mode to type a number, you can't just hit the number four times to get it.
Minor things:
- The headset that ships with the phone is stereo (for music), so you always have this extra hearbud dangling when talking on the phone.
- The USB cable that ships with the phone doesn't allow charging.
- When putting the phone in the battery/sleeve thing, it doesn't show that its charging or has additional battery time.
- You can't charge the phone and use the headset at the same time, it uses the same socket.

I went to the samsung shop today to test on the P300.
Finding:
1. Look : 9/10
2. Function : 8/10
3. Price : 7/10
Plus Point : The phone is stylish and slim.
Minus Point : The Ringing Volumes for MP3 and Ring Tones volume was lousy.
Conclusion : I will not get the P300 cause this phone makes no sense. The volume was totally unacceptable, you can't even hear it when the volume was switch to the highest mode. What is the use of getting this stylish phone where you can't even hear when someone calls you. And you even have this MP3 Buttons on the main buttons. Pls wake up samsung!!!!
If anyone have P300, Kindly advice if you have also face this volume problem. Tks!
Samsung!!!! What is P300?? is this a calculator or a phone? Kindly advice!

I have had P300 for a while now. Yes most people are correct by saying that it looks like a calc or credit card so there is no getting away from that, however does it matter? This phone still looks stylish with brushed steel. The case also makes it very business looking and will keep the mobile safe. After reading through other people's review and owning the phone myself here is the biggest negitives & positives about the mobile -
1. When you begin a text message it always dirverts back to the old way of texting and you have to hold in the * key to get it onto T9. (This is for each text you will ever create).
2. Where the 8 key is located were the 0 key should be, so it may take you a little while to get used with this.
3.The text tones are set and you can not change them beyond the selection you have.
4. The ringtones are not very loud even on loudest setting.
5. Software for your pc/laptop needs to become user friendier.
Positives
1. The mobile is a slick design & one for fashion. (once you get used with it).
2. It is easy enough to use once you get the hang of it.(for texting)!
3. It has Amazing batt life. This small phone has some serious talk/standby time.
4. The display on the mobile is great.
5. The camera takes quality photos.
6. The video recorder is quality.
As I read before, this is the marmite of mobiles, you will love it or dislike it.

Phone screen goes completely black in standby mode. No time/date display.
Sound quality is OK mostly. Occasionally it's patchy. Not as good as some phones.

Does the screen go black in standby mode or is the date/time visible? Also, when making calls, how good is the sound quality?

Hey KID, have you actually got one? Or doesn't your pocket money run to it?
Better leave it to those that can actually make informed opinions.
Folks that actually own one think that it's a great little phone.

Excellent phone! Full featured but tiny package. Ultra slim like NEC but with better useability. Can play mp3 and mp4 files (short clips only). Excellent signal and voice clarity. Battery life is very very good especially with external battery-case. Very utilitarian design won't suit some but I like it. Overall excellent!
