Jadugar,

there is practically NO cellular on the market that has optical zoom (the one/two who do are very big and very expensive)! All phones with digital zoom have the same limitations!

        i've had this phone for 1 week now, it's eveyrhting i expected it to be, video can be unlimited if u set it that way, the camera is ok but a little fuzzy but i dont care about that, its picture messaging and email is working and it plays mp3's and videos!, its excellent, but it has one fault and thats the 12mb memory, if it had a card slot it would be the best, along with bluetooth but it atleast has infrared port, well dats all, BUY THIS PHONE!!!!!!!!!

          Marco,
          You can add further stuff to your sms after pressing continue, by pressing the "backward button" under the left softkey under the display. Just make sure that you save it in you drafts if you don't do the change directly.

            The 4x zoom is digital... it means that you are using the same resolution all the time.
            Therefore you cannot use the highest resolution AND zoom at the same time.

            If you want to have the possibility to have 2x zoom you can have max picture size 320x240.

            For 4x zoom possibility you can have max picture size 160x120.

            Also you cannot zoom while video-recording. This is the same on most digital cameras with digital zoom and video recording possibilities. You decide zoom alternative beforehand before you start recording.

                  Riyan!,
                  i would say that its display is just fine bcoz if you are use to TFT technology like in handsets of nokia 2600,3100,SE-K500i,K700i then K300i's display won't suit you. But if you have been using cheaper sets of SE like T290i,T230i then its display is alot better than these sets. And as you must have read the users opinion on this site, you would be thinking that its display is horrible but if you believe me, i would recommend K300i in all the sets of its price range. Now its upto you. If you want to know which sets are in the price range of this set then the sets are,samsung X600,Motorola C650,Siemens CX65 and C65,Philips 535 and some similar. Now you decide what's best for you but if you ask me i would recommend K300i in all aspects and features!

                    Hi guys, I'd like to buy this phone but I've got a question: I write a message and i press the "continue" key...then I just want to come back to add some further stuff to my sms...can I do it? I mean: in Sony ericsson site's simulation, when I try to get back to the text, the phone bring me to the upper menu (write sms) and cancell the message I wrote...is it true or it's a bug of this (nice) simulation?
                    Thanks a lot, bye!

                              Hi Colnagoguy,

                              Before I posted my query, I have extensively searched for K300 software for Mac OS X. I also tried the links you provided.

                              I am grateful for your help but it seems like Sony Ericcson doesn't have support for Mac. I don't own a PC so this is difficult for me. I do use a PC in the office though but I wouldn't want to install personal software in the office.

                                Bhutani,

                                do you mean to surf the net or to find files in the phone?

                                To surf the net you need to enable wap, to find files on the phone you use the file manager in the main menu

                                        IF the joystick crashes, it will be more difficult.
                                        IF the battery dies it will also be difficult... IF the display dies it will not be so fun either...
                                        There is a reason SE put a joystick there... However, you can use number keys to chose menu steps, so it is still possible to use the phone.
