    The phone is equipped with a mere VGA camera. There is an Extended Mode in the camera menu, that raises the resolution up to 1.3 megapixel but that resolution is interpolated which means that the software merely stretches the real 640x480 image in order to reach those dimensions.

      You'll need a Sony Ericsson M2 card. The largest one for now can hold 1GB.

        Getting a new one off ebay. Just wondering what kind of SD card I need to get specifically for this phone, and how big I can get.

        Thanks

                Just got the black version of this phone for christmas, and I'm pretty happy with it. It's better than my old NEC N343i in nearly every way, and I don't miss the i-mode one bit!

                - Camera is pretty good for what it is. Much better than my old phone (also VGA).

                - Headphones are very similar to Sony MDR-EX71 in both appearance and sound quality - and these cost around €40-50! There's also a 3.5mm jack on the wired handsfree cable so you can plug in any standard headphones instead.

                - Sound quality is pretty good, however there is significant noise when things are quiet. If the volume is quite low and there's a quiet part of a song, it can sound quite distorted. It's fine with the volume up 1/3 the way or higher though.

                - I never had a clamshell before, and had doubts about getting one, but I am actually quite happy with it. The earpiece and mic are a lot closer to where they need to be so things are a lot clearer when making calls, and there's no keypad lock to worry about!

                - The buttons aren't great for texting, and it's kinda weird having the top row (1,2,3) bigger than all the others.

                - Battery is great, and the charger doesn't make annoying high-pitched noises like a lot of modern transformers (I couldn't sleep with the one from my NEC phone on!)

                - Radio is great - I can pick up distant stations I can't get on any other radio with this! RDS AF (alternate frequency) is very useful when travelling.

                - "Disc2Phone" software is next to useless. It tells me nothing about what it does to the music (if it's re-encoding or what), so I just don't bother with it and copy over music manually.

                - It doesn't seem to have any way of sorting music tracks by their filename or by the tag's track number, which is kinda annoying when putting albums on it.

                - Screen is pretty nice - even on the lowest brightness setting it's still quite bright. The external screen is OK.

                Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. It's not perfect, but what is - especially at this price!

                    I just bought my SE W300 and i absolutely love its sleek form and the sound clarity.
                    It costs a bit but it really is a good bargain !!
                    But dont buy it if you are looking to shoot pictures with ur phone

                      To pqCZ:

                      This phone also comes in black... the black W300 won't look as girly.

                          It's trendy. Not girly. But perhaps for those who doubt their manliness.

                              @ Steve H (again)

                              Also make sure the problem is not with your card. Did you get a sony ericsson M2 card?

                                Make sure you're not doing anything wrongly. If that's the case, take your phone back and exchange it with a new one if you can. That's not normal.

                                  We just got this phone, then got a 1GB MS Micro and we are having real problems with the memory. it is only transferring part of the files and in somne cased it is scrambling the songs and actually mixing them together - weird! Has anybody else had this problem or know what I should do?

                                    The w300i is a great phone- no joystick means no more constant cleaning and the display is bright and clear. The sound is better than an ipod and the camera is fine in daylight. Ignore the phones critics- 97%
