    Taimur,

    any legal Sony Ericsson SW you have on your phone... can't you find "Extended" in your menu? There should be 4 choices...

        Answers:
        1. One can save mp3s and use them as ringtones!

        2. VGA pictures with resolution 640*480 are about 30-50kB each. You have around 10-12 Mb free space. If you don't use any other space for extra games, music etc you will have space for 200-400 pictures (worst/best case)

        3. You protect the lense by not having the phone in the same pocket as your keys. Otherwise it should be able to take some abuse. T610, K700 have the same solution.

        4. Keypad works good. Since the display is a little smaller on this phone there is more space for the keys, hence better ergonomics.

        5. You have 10-12 Mb free space depending on if the operator steals some of your memory. You do the math. It all depends on how big your photo ids are and how many you add!

          I need to know a few things :
          1. Can one save mp3s and use them as ringtones ?
          2. Approx how many pics can one take with resolution 640*480 and store on the phone at any given time ?
          3. The camera doesnt hv a cover. How does one protect the lense ?
          4. Has anyone faced any problems with the keypad ? such as fading of text on keys or difficult to sms ?
          5. If one fills up the photo ids, an mp3 song (about 5 mb), how many pics/clips can one record ?

          regards,
          Sunny

            To Antonio - Regarding brightness.

            click stick right, *, left, left *, left, *. Go to service settings, then contrast, you can fix it from there ;)

              Answers:

              1) GPRS connection should be automatic ... do you see a blue triangle on the top left of your desktop? The blue triangle should be above the bars which show the connection level. This blue triangle shows your GPRS connection ... how do you know it doesn't work? What are you trying to do with your GPRS connection?

              2) The software in the phone should enable anyone to take phots in "fake" megapixel resolution - do as follows:
              a) Have phone in camera mode
              b) rightclick on the right softkey on "More"
              c) then click "Picture size" -
              d) chose "Extended".

                  No matter how, it just takes pictures

                  The maximum picture size is priori given by the physic resolution of the sensor, which is of 640 × 480 pixels. Nevertheless, the phone can take pictures in a megapixel resolution as well; it reaches the desired resolution of 1 280 × 960 pixels by making a software interpolation.
                  (its taken from the review here at ur website )

                  I wanna ask abt the software through which I shall be able to take pictures in mega pixel format .

                        Very Great Phone (recommended)
                        - cheap
                        - very loud ringtone
                        - so so vga cam
                        - Simple
                        - long life battery
                        - easy to send short msg (recent phonebook)
                        - nice keypad
                        - speaker phone


                        Weakness:
                        - low mem (10 mb is not enough)
                        - no bluetooth
                        - STN display
                        - very small display (too small)

                          Some answers:

                          1. lock folders or pics in K300 - this functionality does not exist in K300. The only thing you can lock is bank codes etc

                          2. Yes, you can save your recordings in the phone. You can IR them to your computer and look at it in higher resolution in RealPlayer which can be downloaded for free.

                          3. K300 does not have an external memory slot. It has between 10-12 Mb internal memory (size depends if the operator has taken som of it for their very important files ;o) ). You cannot add memory.

                          4. the display cannot be adjusted regarding brightness/darkness

                                    is there anywhere that you can get free stuff on your SEK300 phone that downloads straight onto it without any connection of leads etc.??

                                      Sorry, mistyped. VGA is approximately 0,3 Mpixel

                                        1. One cannot zoom in the picture after taking the picture. Not much use really, we are still taking about VGA quality which is 0,2 Mpixel. This has to be done on computer or other phones.

                                        2. The messages do not get deleted when the sim gets taken out.
