Sony Ericsson J300a
Average Ratings
I THINK I'm going to like this phone
The 'cute' appearance of this phone first attracted my attention (mine came with a navy faceplate, the pink faceplate was an included extra... i'll stick w/ navy). The first think i DIDN'T like about the phone was the joystick.. . I had trouble navigating with it at first, it was too easy to press it down rather than side to side, etc. After entering all my numbers (my prev phone didn't have a sim card) I think I'm getting use to it. That will probably be the determining factor in whether or not I keep the phone.
Other neat features... a stopwatch and timer, nice for me b/c I don't wear a watch and occasionally need a stopwatch at work.
The lack of a camera is not an issue for me... I have a 2mp cam in my vehicle, a 6mp cam in my work vehicle, a 1.2mp on my palm pilot... no, cant send them to anyone without first downloading to a pc, but its still not an issue for me.
If I can get used to the joystick, I think I'm going to love it. Only had it a couple of days. The price (0.99), and the 'cute' factor is why I chose it, but found a few features I wasn't expecting (timer, stopwatch, voice memo, etc.)
Major reception and stability improvements
The most important functions are better than previous models. This may be classified as a lower end phone, but the call quality is much better than the [guessing] soon-to-be-dead t290, which wasn't a bad deal for it's intended markets (free with contract or $40 prepaid kit).
I bought it unlocked from Amazon.com (full review posted there) for $112, and I don't regret it even with a few gripes from me and blunt service from SE. I finally have a cool phone with most of the fancy SE features AND good call quality.
Phontabulous
I got this for my 17yr old daughter and she loves it. Not alot of technology for her to try and figure out. She also has made the comment that her reception has improved 10x. Way to go SE Good Job
J300a - Great Talk-time & Reception
This J300a is not only tiny, but has the best talk-time and reception of any phone I've utilized to-date. I enjoy about 4 hours of talk-time before having to recharge the battery, the reception is awesum thanks to the loop antenna. You can also purchase a Sony Deskstand whereby you can simply insert your J300a and utilize it as a speakerphone. This phone does not have a camera but for someone who wants a workhorse and talk time of 4 hours will definitely want to explore buying this phone.
J300 sin camara y muy funcional y muy buena calidad de ringtone todo lo necesario para hablar y divertirse jugando java JAVA muy completo y barato
todos mis comentarios se deben a que es un telefono barato con pretaciones de telefonos caros
PROS:
- numeros multiples en la agenda foto y ringtone por contacto ademas de varos campos mas al igual que en un k500
. las llamadas recibidas perdidas y hechas vienes separadas lo que es de mucha ayuda no como un t610 o t290 que viene todo junto
- tiene grabadora de voz que puede grabar las conversaciones
- buen redimiento en aplicaciones y juevgos java y tambien java 3d
- mensajes multimedia y reproduccion de video MP4
- ringtones mp3 de buena calidad y suenan fuerte y tambien polifonicos
- pequeño y liviano
- sistema de archivos por carpetas , uno puede crearlas y mover archivos para todos
lados
- salva pantallas y papel tapiz animados , temas igual que todos los sonyericsson
- buena duracion de la bateria
- 12 MB de memoria lo que es mas que suficiente y esta super bien alcanza para todo
- marcacion por voz y discados rapidos (9)
- buena velocidad de menus
- tiene perfile y el joystick tiene direccionde de acceso rapido configurables
- carcasas intercambiables
Cons:
- señal coo dicen en ingles SO-SO , es al limite de lo bueno tiene recepcion igual que otros pero no tan buena como mi ex nokia 6620
- la pantalla es solo STN y cuesta un poco verla en el sol directo pero por el precio yo no me hago problemas
- tiene un pequeño click al empzar la reproduccion de un mp3 o un ringtone asi como cuando un enciende los parlantes de computador aca da la misma impresion
- y como todos los sony ericsson no se puede desbloquear por codigo
- aparenta se un tanto delicado igual que el K500i
Yo tengo la version negra y me lo compre despues de vender un nokia 6620 ya que me quiero comprar un pendrive y el nokia tenia el volumen bajo en la reproduccion y los ringtones sonabas mas o menos nomas (16000HZ y se escuchaban como 8000HZ) asi que lo vendi , tambien tuve el K500 de sony y puedo decir que es lo mismo pero sin camara y con pantalla mula
Nothing Great
I understand that Sony Ericsson wanted to release a phone that was cheap to make and cheap to purchase, but they went way to budget on this phone. The phone comes in a horrible bright pink that is obviously for little girls and is meant for them to have fun. However, the phone does not even have a camera! The phone is only dual band and I find the "clip holder" bar at the top an annoyance.
The phone's only advantage are its dimensions. The phone is quite small and is the lightest cell phone in mass production (not counting that stupid Nokia 7280).
I know they could have made a much better phone for that money. If I'm in the budget where I'm only going to spend $20 on a phone on a 3 year term, I'd only spend it if it was for a little girl in bright pink. Otherwise, I'd go with something else.
You've let me down SE
