Jon.'s Review of Samsung A300
14th Jun 2003
Overall Rating
- Value for money
I love the phone - its simple, straight forward, to the point and very easily laid out. If you dont want to be too fussed about all these ringtones and gfx - i mean who REALLY cares? then this phone is perfect. To be honest, these ring tone dealies just seem too townie for me.
Bad Points
Its stupidly designed software - samsung made a total blunder of it! Sorry, they did! Its poorly designed, has a lot of buggy verification checks and its soooo easy to kill the phone!
General Comments
I have an a300, so does my girlfriend and 2 of my mates. We all got them unlocked at different places. Within a month, 3 of them have died. Mine went from orange onto O2 PAYG and its died. they keep coming up with "Insert SIM card". After reverse engineering the phone at work and checking the software out, this is the main cause. There are so many in-built hardware to software checksums, that unlocking the phone dramatically reduces the shelf life. Im going to get hold of a flash box and try reflashing the EPROM, but this is clearly a phone that does not like tampering.
If you like the phone, then i wouldn't unlock it. Either buy it sim free or on the network you want.
I am going to replace mine with either the T100 or a nokia 7620.
