Mish - if you consider the text messaging as a problem besides it is a feature-pack phone... this phone is not meant for you ...
but for me, i wont consider it's messaging as a reason for changing it into other Models because for me it's the best for it's price range...

Brilliant phone, tops for price. I tested a Nokia 3120 for a few days and took it back to the store for an exchange for the K300i(Dick Smith Electronics here in New Zealand, they give you a 2 week return period). Much better than the Nokia, or similar Nokias & other phones in this price range. Great colour screen, not the 4k colours of the Nokia. Records voice and other sounds! Simple to take photos of whatever scene is on the computer screen and turn it into K300 wallpaper. Excellent speaker volume (rings and phone voice). Paid only $188 NZD (= $116 USD), with SIM card.
OK, the battery is about 25% less capacity than the Nokia, but this still should be fine if kept on power-saving and if you don't play games all the time!
My next fun will be trying the infrared port to connect with my laptop! I have recorded my own ringtones using the built in microphone and recorder, holding it next to the computer speakers (MP3s)and the quality is good. Downloading from the web or via a computer will give even better quality sound.
BTW, go to www.sonyericsson.com and read the FAQs and other tips for this phone!

erick,,,
you cannot permanently turn on your loudspeaker intead during calls. it's because maybe of privacy for your own if any important or private conversations occur. in every call you have turned on the speaker it will be back to earpiece after that... so no luck for that...

Its true that file moved to OTHER folder after copying, That just happens if SE k300i does'nt recognise the format of the file, Test it by copying MP4 file, That'll automatically move to OTHER folder Cause it can play MP3 not MP4, & if u want to move any file to OTHER folder, its impossible ...

tariq awan is right. sorry i did'nt get your real point before. anyway, master reset can be the best way to delete your files, just select master reset under the settings menu. ther are two options, reset settings and reset all. hit reset all and it will erase all your files including all settings, profiles in wap, images, sounds etc. i agree with RGB also that when you rest the phone, it must be fully charged because consequences are fatal, it's true according to my experiences...
ANGEL...
you cannot not copy the jar file on other folder but anyway you also don't have to put your files in other folder to install games in your phone, just send the file via irda(if you have) and it will automatically install without any processes.
how?
1. on you desktop (for windows operating computer systems) right click the jar file and click send and then to a nearby computer and it will auto install while sending, this is effective using irda...
tariq awan thnx for ur advises regarding conversion of jad,SIS to jar files...
guyz SE becomes 3rd on ranking just look at the rankongs at this site, SE's gotta doing good job...

This is really a cool phone in a cheap price.
Even the display is CSTN but the images look GREAT If they're used as a wallpaper (128x96) or as a screen saver thats 128x128 & if ur looking for some kool games then just hit it http://www.funmaza.com/nokia_b.html you just need to rename the files like .SIS & .JAD to .JAR & it'll work just fine ... Abhijit here's a answer to your question, If u want to reset your phone to delete every thing Which includes Data,Contacts, Music, Games ETC then hit Master Reset. If you want your images to be crisper & clear then go to camera > More > Picture Quality & select fine, Caution: The images size will be more then normal but it'll be GREAT PIC. All Images on my MSN Space is captured by My K3ooi Have a look @ it by your selfs ... ! http://spaces.msn.com/awanzgtariq221983/

Its not just about free memory, its about the total memory. The free memory reported in Phone Status on standby screen and Memory status in file manager are the same. The total memory if you add up all the values in the Memory Status in file manager was 10.9 in the beginning. Now its 8.1 MB. Whats hapenning is if you delete a deletable file that was in the phone when you purchased it, the file doesn't show up. Neither the memory gets freed for this file. If you reset the phone, the file shows up again. So the file doesn't get really deleted. I would like to know if there is any way of deleting the files present initially in the phone, which are supposed to be deleted (Not the predefined files) and free up the memory also.

regarding to your problem,
go to seetings on messaging. then go to text messages, after that go to max. msg available and choose fit into one message, that's approximately 160 characters and you will not be able to type over 160 characters. i have test this and it's effective...
to all users you can look for it's stuffs at google.com, just type the name of the file and it will bring you to any web sites and good news many of them offers free download. but be careful of the pop ups and any registration coz it may spy you computer byt adwares anything...
hope this helps...

So far I love it :) Was hard to get used to at first (as I had only ever used Nokias or Motorolas) but now I find it just as easy. My only complaint is that it doesnt have a letter count for when I'm sending sms, so I never know how long my message is.

Abhijit...
where do you check for it's free memory? is it on the file manager or in the standby mode? if it is in File manager don't worry because even you delete files on it the memory status will not change. it will only show 10.9MB free and not more than that. look at standby mode and click more, the phone status and you will see how much your memory has after deleting files.
please report me after this to be able to help you in your problem...
jebjeb...
yes you can download though it's not that fast to download coz the speed of an irda is about 115kbps (standard infrared) if you want faster download use Usb cable for it so more faster you can download.
:advise, compress Mp3's of up to 20kbps and you can save more space. clearness of sounds are just similar to a high quality mp3 when heard in speakerphone. u may use musicmatch to do it.

Regarding the memory problem that I had posted earlier, I have found out that when I got the phone, the sum of all the values in Memory Status added up to around 10.9 MB. After deleting a 1.9 MB video file, the memory didnt get freed up and the Memory status added up to 8.7 MB and now I have been noticing that its 8.1 MB. Where has all these memory gone? I think it sometimes happens that even if an item gets deleted, memory doesnt get freed up. 'Deepthought' had the same problem. Is there any software that will allow me to view all the contents of the phone directly. Is there any way to free up this memory? Please help.

To Libran Guy
My suggestion is that, 1st attach ur phone wid the pc put the CD in the PC and follow the Screen, if ur Pc says new hardware found then proceed and make ur pc to seach for the driver, select CD, and look what happens if ur pc auto detect the right driver that is really nice, otherwise u can manully install the K500's driver, because both K300 & k500 are same in hardware except the screen.
