"Look at the two in a shop and judge for yourself!"
That is the problem... The operator I want only offers K300i... I am a little bit doubtful about the screen, but I'm 90% sure i'll buy it

If you are used to a STN screen you will find the screen of K300i perfectly adequate.
There is, however, a definite difference to TFT screens, so it is really up to you if you think the price difference is worth it. Look at the two in a shop and judge for yourself! :o)

hi everyone... i have only one question. Can you tell me is the difference in the screen quality between k300i and k500i really that big? I'm currently using a N6610 with a STN 4K screen and i don't find that bad...

The only drivers available are Modem Scripts which you can use the k300i for data communication. You can find it on http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=ps1_1_3_1_1&zone=ps&lm=ps1_1&pid=10226&fid=14035&esi=true

James,
1) K300i can hold around 100 sms of ordinary size. The phone warns you when you have 90-95% full capacity. This also includes outgoing sms, so usually it helps to just delate all in the oputgoing box before having to deal with ingoing messages.
2) The number of photos that can be stored in normal VGA 640x480 mode depends on the qulaity of the pictures (dark pictures take less space). The photos are between 25-50kB each. It also depends if you store other games/videos etc. To begin with you have between 10-12 Mb free space depending on which operator you chose. If you just keep photos you can store between 200-400 pictures in the phone.
3) Uploading your pictures, videos, themes, games etc is possible if you are allowed to (digital rights - usually paid games etc will not allow this). If you have a laptop you can use the Infrared (IR) window on the top of the phone to connect to the IR port of your laptop. If you do not have an IR-port on your PC you can use a cable accessory (DCU-11) to connect via the PCs USB-port.

Antonella,
please specify; I don't understand: you want to buy a GO-game for K300? What is "GO MOBILE" - is this some operator slogan?
Have you activated your WAP-cabability thru

Please show me where the DCU 15 cable is on the web? I cannot find it on the Sony Ericsson site or, actually ANY site at all, even by using Google! Have you bought a pirate cable?
Also, please make sure you contact Sony Ericsson, not Sony. Sony Ericsson has their own helpdesk.

I have contacted Sony 3 days ago but they arent replying. Also,,DCU-15 cable exists and has fit perfectly with k300i phone.
Original post::
"I bought a data cable DCU-15 for my mobile phone Sony Ericsson k300i. I have all the drivers and the file managers installed. I then enabled the COM Port used in the Phone Monitor Options in the Control Panel. Still when I open my file manager, it says that no mobile is connected. No synchronising is also possible. Please help me to transfer the photos from my mobile to the PC."

You have 10-12 MB space in the phone, independent of whether you have music, photos, games etc. How much space you have for Mp3s depends on how much space you need for other files.
As mentioned earlier, the number of photos that can be stored in normal VGA 640x480 mode depends on the quality of the pictures (dark pictures take less space). The photos are between 25-50kB each. It also depends if you store other games/videos etc. If you just keep photos you can store between 200-400 pictures in the phone.
A rule of thumb is that in normal compression you have about 1 minute mp3 music for every MB memory. So normally you will only have space for 1-2 songs if you also have a lot of photos games etc stored.
Again, the reason there is mp3 capability on this phone is not for playing a lot of songs, but so that you can use mp3 files as ring tones. If you want a real music machine go for W800.

I want to know that how much memory does this phone have for the songs? an average MP3 consists of 3 MB or so.. so it means only 1,2 songs can come in the mobile because the set's whole memory is 12 MB.. in which most of it will be taken for pictures and short video clips.. please reply.. if coolnagauy is there i want to say that you have full command on this phone so do tell me.. many thanks...GD

The cable you need for K300 is DCU-11, not DCU-15 (DCU-15 does not seem to exist?)?
