Good Points

Camera and video!
Very simple to use
Joystick felt sturdy and was quiet
Good range of settings and things to do.


Bad Points

A bit 'block' shaped.
Lacks Bluetooth, although this wasn't important to me.


General Comments

I got the Sony Ericsson K300i, after I got incredibly fed up of the rubbish Phillips 535 I had before. It was cheap at £79.99, compared to the others.
I wasn't expecting very much as it was a lot cheaper than anything else, and doesn't look very cool (although I wouldn't say it was ugly, and certainly not heavy). However, it turned out to be totally superb! It is very easy to use. I have only had it a day, but I have figured this already. The screen isn't really small. Perhaps it is not the clearest, but it is good to me. The sounds are good (although the tones are a bit disappointing), and composing and sending messages is pretty easy. Calling is simple. The games are fun, and the features are useful and handy. The only problem is the vibra alert isn't strong enough at all. I can't tell if I have a message or call if it is in silent mode in my pocket.
The camera is superb! The pictures are pretty good, and the video feature is amazing! What more can you ask for in an £80 mobile? It is clear, cool, and easy to use, store, and send messages. Getting to the camera is simple through the button on the side, which is very very useful for snaps on the go! It doesn't take long to switch on or off either. Something the Phillips 535 certainly did.
Overall, I love the K300i. It may not be delicate, but it is light and easy to use. The camera/video is the most outstanding feature. I have used to video twice already, and it is proving to be very useful. Writing and sending messages is easy too.
A stunning mobile phone, at a fantastic price!
