          Harrison,
          You can make your own ringtone by using the function "MusicDJ" in the phone or by sending ringtones via IR/MMS/cable to the phone in midi or mp3 format. You cannot set other message alert tones than the ones installed in the phone.

          alfman05,
          Yes, you can send stuff back and forth between K300 and a computer. Photos, melodies, themes, games etc, provided that these items allow you to forward them on (digital rights management).

          catsupier,
          it should work ... can you still see the photos on the person's profile? Are the photos still available on the phone memory? When you assign the photo to a person's profile you are "only" setting up the link. The photo must still remain in the memory...

                  The IR part of the phone is already included in the phone - you should know that already; you said yourself that "i dnloaded some pics via IR" - so why do you need more info regarding IR? You obviously got it to work?!?

                  The PC cable DCU-11 can be found on SE website - ask your phone dealer for it!

                  Here is a link to the cable:

                        One of the very few tradeoffs with K300 is that it has a cheaper display with so-called CSTN technology (same as T610). TFT displays like in T630 can be found in the higher priced models such as K500.

                          I bought my K300i three weeks ago...i fell inlove with it.I totally hate my old phone N6610i w/c was priced higher than k300i but the features sucks!..anyways, just want to ask why some products features are saying that k300i is a TFT screen? is it or is it not? im happy with my screen, just need to know.Thanks!

                            1) *.wav file can only be played up in the phone but not used as ring or alarm signals. For ring or alarm signals you need imy, midi or mp3 format

                            2) You cannot set downloaded tones/mp3s as message ringtoones. You can only set them as a) ringtones, b) alarm signal or c) personal ringtones asigned to people

                              thanks u very much !!

                                Yes, the phone can be set so that the vibrator keeps vibrating continuously when one is being called up (i.e. both vibrator and ring signal is being used at the same time)

                                  Hi!
                                  I'm thinking about buying this phone.Can anyone tell me if a simultaneous vibration/melody mode is available on this phone.I mean is it possible to configure the phone so that it rings and vibrates at the same time. Lately, most phones vibrates twice or three times and then vibration stops and the melody starts.This is a bit annoying because most of the times i can't tell that the phone is vibrating until the 5th or 6th time. Thanks!!

                                      the cell keeps all that it promise.i ve been using it 4 about a month and i m very satisfied with this.
                                      before i go into details can anyone say if instslling software can i use someother format of music other than 3gp n mp3??? please help!!!!
                                      well u cant get all these features along eith the brand name of se at rs 6600 in india.the ir offstes somewhat the problem of not having bluetooth.i ve transferred loads of ringtones as well as video clips from othr cells like k500 k750 nokia6600
                                      the mp3 ringtone feature sounds good and loud i dont know what noise others wanna create if this isnt enough
                                      the best part of course is d cam with extendd mode 1 mp results are pretty good and in fact this is d same cam used in k500 n k508 so transferrinfg 2 pc result s same. the video mode is not greatest around but then unlimited recording is cul and u can zoom 2 ur subject while recording.
                                      the style is really the bst part a freind of mine with k508 said its better than his
                                      now comparison between k500,k508 n k300- as far as i know the hardware of both are same except 4 the screen which is much more vivid and colourful in d higher version.if ur budget is not as restrictive as mine pay rs 1200 more and get k500 definitely otherwise k300 is d next best option and 4 heavens sake dont go 4 nokia
                                      the other problem is the low memory but let me tell u a nokia at this range wont giv u more than 4 mb and that too without the sexy vga cam.actually the memory is good but because of the gr8 features it just seems not enough.
                                      noe pl dont forget to tell me any compression mode 4 playin music in this wonderful set.thanks in advance
                                      rating---8.5/10(considering the price)
