        hm, i would say that the k300i display isn't very good... i mean, i'm satisfied, but some people want more and you should check it out for yourself... i must admit i have never used or tryed out k508 but it looks like a fairly good handset to me, with a better display (TFT opposite to CSTN), but i repeat, you should try both handsets and choose for yourself... i must say that the joystick on k300i is great (for now) and it is perfect to work with. to cut the story short, i will say nothing but great things about k300i and reccomend it to everyone, but must admit that the display could have been better... everything depends on your priorities...

                      Jadugar and Colnagoguy both things happen, it is not highlighted there (it exists but not highlighted and says cannot use this sound as a ringtone if u try to choose it to an mp3 file) and mp3s play normally at the media player.......

                            coolanoguy!, i was wondering if it offered 4X VGA zoom like you force your joystick upwards and it offers 2X zoom in the camera function and if you do that again you are able to capture pics in 4X zoom. like in the sets motorola V600,and in moto-E398 as it says on the back of the phone that 4X zoom VGA.. it is what i require.. Can you understand now what i want? plz help me understand if it offers this function in still camera or not.

                              Can you play the mp3 file in the media player (under entertainment) ?

                                It is not highlighted if you do as following?

                                main menu > file manager > sounds > *chose file* > more > use > as ringtone

                                    The amount of memory in the K300 is not primarily targeted for mp3 songs - the k300 is NOT a music machine. The memory is more for photos, videos, mp3 ring signals...

                                    Siemens C75 is a newer phone in a higher price segment from a brand which has stopped existing (siemens has been bought by BenQ). What this means for the future in terms of service and repairability makes me a bit uneasy.

                                    The C75 has a better LCD, but does not offer unlimited video recording as K300 (only up to 30 seconds) and 7 has Mb available for user (k300 has 10-12 Mb depending on operator).

                                    In my humble opinion the K300 has better quality - in cosmetics, picture quality, SW. It's a matter of taste. However, if you want a TFT display you should go for the C75.

                                      Are you sure these themes work for K300. K500i/K508i have a larger screen in pixels as well as having 12 instead of 9 icons in the main menu.
                                      Will these themes really fit in K300?

                                      Response to above post on page 2 / 3:

                                      Yes Colnagoguy , i myself it on my phone , its tested, the themes work exactly as in K500i/K508i but the menu of K300i is not changed (eg i have 9 icons in menus).

                                      there are picture caps as well on that very site , one thing some themes designed / edited by users have animation but get disappper after 2 sec while some has continous animation , as in the case of FLOROFLOW theme

                                        Thanks a lot for infos! Anyway...do you think k300i is a better phone than siemens c75 (I really don't mind about mp3 player...with 12 mb you can stock only 2/3 songs!!??)? c75 has a better display but k300i has a better battery...
