General Comments

I have had this Samsung S300 mobile phone for 3 days now, and ran many tests on it, including reception, user friendlyness, ergonomics and so on.
This phone is amazingly designed. If you favor clam shell design, this is top notch. It is very small and light, fits easy into any size pocket and can be operated single handedly. Also, since there's an external screen theres no need to open the phone to see who's calling. The polyphonic rings are of high quality, although some more regular "ring ring" sounds could be nice for those who like their phone to actually ring.
On the down side - Software could use some more features that are noticbly missing, such as profiles. Also it's not possible to set the phone to ring and vibrate at the same time, only sequentially (meaning it will vibrate 3 times and then begin to ring), which is annoying if you're used to Nokia.
One thing that is actually very hard for me to understand is why bluetooth was not incorperated into this little wonder. This is a major drawback.
Other then that, this is a perfect little phone.
