has anyone ever had this problem with the w300i??

i bought it and after one month it froze, i had to remove the battery and try and turn it back on and it got stuck on a white screen. It got sent into the company and they could not fix it. They then sent me a new phone, and two month after that, it did the same thing!!! This phone has died on me twice!!! It is a terrible phone, not reliable at all, do not waste your money

    Regarding the probloem of "busy Tone" there is a function in this fone called Call Restriction which sends busy tone to the callers immediately when they try to call you. try turning it off may work!
    Go to
    main menu > Settings > Calls > manage calls> Restrict Calls> All incoming and then try to deactivate the function
    Might work; other wise it can be a fault in your fone

                hi Readers,
                I brought this mobile 9 months back..I am very happy up to 8 months, Its sounds great..
                Suddenly screen is getting white and contact problem with head sets.. I went to showroom. He told water has gone inside..Need to replace the board it seems.. I got this phone for 8750 rs and for changing board 1650 rs.. Free services are not responible for water damage it seems. Totally disappointed...Need to see how it works in future..

                          Had this phone for about a year now, had the handset replaced three times and the sim twice,I repeatedly get cut off mid phone call,Orange deny its anything to do with them and are blaming the handset telling me other folks have complained of this too.Never had any problems with Orange in over 10 yrs SO, it has to be the handset.It will be replaced soon, probably go back to Nokia.

                                Yeah, camera is bad. If you are willing to put your whole phone at risk, there is a new Camera Driver available that you must replace yourself.

                                I have flashed the latest firmware (R9A036) because SE Update Service kept telling me that my previous firmware (R9A031) was the latest yet I knew it wasn't, updated the camera driver, updated the acoustics, installed some flash menus and debranded all of the T-Mobile & Robbie Williams crap to be left with an incredibly LOUD phone with an 'ok' camera and decent firmware and customisation that stands tall.

                                My problem is, the way it comes as standard with all that Robbie crap or even without it and average camera, small screen resolution takes away quite a bit from this.

                                    W300i is not produced anymore, but some shops still have it in stock. I like the phone because its clam-model and quite light and small. It has radio-receiver and good music-sound. The camera is crap (0.9 Mpx) so if pictures are important to you, buy something else. Other than that, I recommend it, it's good value for the money (ca 140 Euro). Oh, one more thing... it has Bluetooth, of course, but not version 2 which is required for stereo, so the radio and music-player dont work with a bluetooth headset, you need a wired one.

                                      I just purchased a W300i and looks like I bumped into a software bug.
                                      I replaced the factory-supplied 256MB memory-stick with a 4 GB stick.
                                      After that, trying to download any of the free themes from Sonyericsson results in a "Memory Full" message. Switching back to the 256MB stick, the downloads work again.
                                      (I suspect the 4GB gives an overflow error in the memory-calculations, thereby the faulty error-msg.)
                                      I also tried the firmware Update Service, but it says the software is already the latest version.

                                      Anyone else here that can confirm this error?
