To Francis:
Mr cezar is right the default code for this phone is 0000 (the same which u have set to lock ur phone) otherwise if u have not set any code previously then the default code will work that is 0000, (remember onceagain that make sure ur phone's battery is full before u proceed)

    Hello everybody, Help needed
    I bought this phone few days back and i also bought a data cable to connect it to my pc. But along with that data cable, there is a cd which contains softwares for different sony ericsson phones. but it does not contain the name of K300. So how do i use this phone to transfer data from my pc to phone? can i use the installation for K500i as this phone resembles it quite a lot.

    please help me with this.

      Francis,,,

      the default code of the phone is 0000(zero,zero,zero,zero) if this don't work go to the manual and look for it's code. don't worry if you fail to type the code correctly coz it's only a security code (similar in nokia)and different from PIN code.

          Here is a Tip for all of you who have some problems wid this phone, such as slow downs, errors, or any other problem of this fone...Just do this simple steps...and ur fone become brand new onceagain & will work perfectly as u want..."Main menu> Setting> General> Master Reset> Reset Settings" (In Master reset menu click only Reset Setting, this will not delete any of ur data, If u press "reset all" u will lose all ur phone data, so I recommend plz click "RESET SETTINGS" only, (AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BATTERY IS FULL otherwize if the process is intrupted due to low battery...consiquences would be Fatal...)

            jason,,,

            the k300 can play realtones: mp3,wav,amr(short for voice-record)and 40 channel polytones files as ringtones....

            to the guy below you...

            the phone can record 2hrs+ of sound if the phone is free on memory(12mb) my measurement of it was 2hrs,40minutes... i don't know if some users are the same also...

                    I love this phone! HAha...well i love sony ericsson phones. Anyway its so sturdy. It fell two times already but works as if its brand new. The sounds sound like your listening to the radio. And for an affordable phone its so feature pack. It also hjas a very clear camera and a high memory. Whats not to like?

                          taimur,
                          not yet bro. i will only upgrade my phone when the programs got errors or becomes old. my phone is now one month old so i don't see any reason of upgrading it. but i don't conradict your decision of upgrading but some upgrades could cause more errors. just like my friend here in php. her phone was upgtaded to an small mobile phone shop in a mall. after upgrading the phone the changes is considerable, it is faster, but when i connect it to pc suite, the phone is not supported it the pc suite said.
                          by the way it is a nokia 6020. so don't worry, fake firmwares are rare with SE thats why i really support SE phones and my k300.
                          and can you also reply if your phone had some better changes after upgrading. by the way whenever you needed help just chat me in this site.
                          good luck...

                              Hey thanx,my fone was under warr so I went to SE. They opened up the fone for me, and I saw that one of the transistors had caught fungus on the pcb. But I don't think that was the problem, but that made my warr void neway, some water must've creeped in through the bottom end of the fone where the charger interface is there. Well neway told them to change the firmware, coz I don't think a damp transistor should slow down the fone, and ya they also told me that it could be a firmware prob. They're gonna take an equivalent of 10 dollars in my currency, so thought what the hell, might as well let them do it.

                                to the guy below me.

                                you are facing two probable problems: software or firmware error when manufacturing which needs upgrade or reinstalling firmware. and full memory if i am right, then try to free some memory to your fone and restart it again if still won't work you need to upgrade/ repair the firmware.

                                taimur...
                                installing of firmware is not as easy as you are thinking. you will have to look for a software for installing flashes in your fone before you can install the firmware. you better go to the SE costumer center to upgrade the firmware. and please don't be desperate to install the fone (if you have not yet an experienced mobile software especialist on SE models or even first timers if i am right but sorry if wrong) coz you may damage your software. dude you better go to SE center for upgrade. good luck for the your upgrade

                                  Hi,
                                  I've been using this phone for a couple of months now. However i'm facing a bit of a problem now, i'm wondering whether anyone has a solution. The fone works at the usual speed at the first instance when i switch it on. But after I receive a call and then disconnect the fone becomes really slow, and all the java applications also become really slow. Also sometimes the fone suddenly restarts. And another thing sometimes when I take out the battery and put it in, sometimes the fone powers itself on without me pressing the power button. I've reset the fone already once, but it still did not solve the problem.

                                      it is imposible to update you firmware via infrared, you will need a serial/usb cable todo it cause it will take long time before you can upgrade your firmware infrered is too sluglish in sending datas. and please don't do it coz it will possibly destroy the unit if the wireless link from pc to mobile was interupted. you will need a cable in order to do it...

                                      and to the guy above you...
                                      stop criticizing k300's joystick. and don't jusge it's memory coz it the best in it's class. even siemens will be no match in k300's specs and performance. the real thing why we prefer to this mobile is that it's price is perfect for a high performance phone. (mp3,mpeg4,Vga camera interpolated to 1.3 mp, 12mb ram compared to nokia 6020 2.3mb and siemens c70 10mb0
                                      to all k300 fans, i disagree to this guy. sorry
