user,
if you read further down you can see this is one of the most asked questions. The answer is:
"In some markets it's not possible to turn off the camera sound due to legal requirements (avoidance of peek photos)".

Guile,
I would recommend you to go to your operator's site (the one you pay your mobile phone bills to) and look there. If you still have problems I would recommend you to phone up your operator's helpdesk. For every mms, wap or email you send your operator will be making money, so it is in your operator's interest to help you!

Hi Colnagoguy!
I was wondering if there is another way to configure the WAP, GPRS and E-mail for my K-300. I checked in Sonyericsson.com but, since I am from Nicaragua, in Central America, it does not figures in the suport screem. Wondering if you culd help me out, Thanks!

Yes, the k300 has an internal modem
Nokia cables will not work, since you have to connect thru the Sony Ericsson bottom connector which is specific to Sony Ericsson. One should use the DCU 11 cable from Sony Ericsson if one isn't content with the IR port.

In some markets it's not possible to turn off the camera sound due to legal requirements (avoidance of peek photos).

a) The reception is, I would say 9 out of 10. There are better handsets on the market, but this phone beats plenty of more expensive handsets. The transmission depends not only on the K300 but also on the base stations used by the operators and the receiving handset (and its reception!). Since we're discusing GSM it's digital - either very good or split in many parts - zero or one. The transmission from the K300 to the nearest base station is very good. The other factors actually do not depend on the K300 phone.
b) One selects the file one wants to send, click "more" (right button under screen), first alternative is "send". Click "send". Third alternative is "Via Infrared". Make sure the K300 IR Port points towards the other IR port. The computer will demand permission to get the file sent. It's quite intuitive.
c) To be able to check the internet by waping and using GPRS, one has to configure the phone. This must be done via internet with you having the phone on in your hand. You can either go to the SE site (www.sonyericsson.com/support) or your operator site. My own experience is that it is easier to do it via the SE site. You will be sent a configuration SMS which you just have to click "OK" and the work is done. To be extra sure, restart the phone (just like with a computer when you put in a new program).

Dear Colnagoguy,
I am planning to buy the K300i. Seeing your impressive expertise, please tell me:
a) How good is its reception? And is its transmission good for the party receiving the call
b) How to use the IR Port (assuming its properly configured at both pc and the k300i)?
c) For internet GPRS, does one have to get configuration done by registering with SE and receiving SMS or it can be done by individual himself or done oneself by getting settings from the service provider?
Thanks and try to give me copy of your reply at naqvi100@gmail.com in addition to posting it on the SE forum.
