    When I first got my Samsung A300 I thought, 'hey this is good' but after a week I just wanted to blow it up, it is so boring. I drop hints to my dad to get me a new one. Please for your own sake do not buy this phone!

    The Samsung A300 Mobile Phone is a stylish , easy to use and great phone to have . The only bad points are that the battery doesnt last for very long , but overall i would recommend this phone to anyone out there and i would give it nine out of ten.

    I love the way that with the Samsung A300 you can get ringtones for free and its simple !! The phone looks great and does everything a phone should i would so much rather be seen with this than a bulky old nokia that is basically a gameboy with ringtones :P (sorry nokias but its true)

    The stylish Samsung A300 is a great looking , great working mobile phone. It is sophisticated but you can personolise it with free ringtones. The sleek design fit into the palm of your hand and it is simple to use. there are useful things like an alarm calculator calender etc. definantly worth the money i would say. Although there is one bad point , there are no games. some people would say this is a bad thing but others see it as being more sophisticated , using the phone for more practical rea ...

    At first i was dying to get this phone and then my dad bought it. It looked nice, great a flip phone but there is nothing on it. The novelty runs out faster than you would think. There are hardly any spaces for your own ringtones, and then they go to fast. There are no games to mess with when you get bored. The only great thing about it is it is small. There are no great features or anything like that. There is wap but how you use that i don't know!! They have brought out a great new phone calle ...

    The looks, and idea for the phone are excellent, certain features such as the wap taking you back to the page you last went to before disconnecting. In almost a year i have been unable to find any ringtones for it. if anyone can help please email me at a41mabbasi@hotmail.com. if their was one thing that lets the fone down then it is, its battery life. it is very poor. i use my fone hardly ever, and even when i do, i only use it for a maximum of 5 minutes a day, and i have to charge it up af ...

    A nice phone, with a good look without reaching the boundaries of absurd. Light weight, but with no games and some keys hard to reach for moderate sized fingers. Goog value for money after 2 years in circulation.

    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 ref ...

    I love the look of the A300 and also the size. When i bought this phone it was going to replace my Nokia 3310 but it has now become my 2nd phone.(reserved for when i go out as its small enough to fit in my bag. The reason being is i send a lot of text messages and reading everyones reviews i cannot believe nobody finds sending a text message on this phone annoying. My nokia automatically transfers a whole word to the next line if it is too long but this phone doesn't so you end up with half a ...

    The Samsung A300 is a very solid performer. The screen is not the best nor is it packed full with toys but for making and receving phone calls it is fantastic. This is a great phone for anyone who whants something that is easy to use, looks snazzy does the basic job well.

    ive had this phone for the past 6 months now apart from it not having any games on it and a short battery life, the samsung a300 is a good quality mobile phone. one of the best features is being able to text message while making or reciving a call. the amount of times i have dropped it is unbeliveable, the thing doesnt seem to break, scratch yeah maybe and thats another downer to it. You cant change the fasia on it so you have to put up with the same old cover all the time. All in all id say it ...

    I had this A300 phone for the last year and quite simply couldn't wait to upgrade back to Nokia. Quite frankly it is the worst phone that I've had by far. Loss of signal is commonplace and the battery life is ridiculous. Nuff said!!

    I got this phone for my birthday a couple of years ago and I had a nokia first because I thought that was the best but with my new phone I think that it is excellent. The caller group images are cool and i think it is really handy and just slips into your pocket. The only bad point about the phone is that for my age group (15) is that he doesn't have any games only on the internet which with my server is really expensive and it is hard to find ringtones to compose on your phone

    All in all this Samsung A300 mobile phone is designed for the smaller race of Humans as I am quite large my big fingers I have problems with the small buttons. However I like the fact that this little phone can go most places in a jacket or pockets of other sort. The colours are attractive but not up to modern technology any longer but if your after a basic phone for a new user to the mobile world then this would be ideal. Not too many functions but enough to get you by.
