Sony Ericsson W300 Review

Call quality was quite good with remarkable clarity and volume. We never had trouble getting a signal and rarely encountered static or interference. Callers reported the same conditions, and they could understand us under most conditions. Speakerphone quality was slightly worse--voices sounded hollow, but it was decent overall. We connected to the Plantronics Explorer 320 Bluetooth headset and encountered admirable call quality as well. The EDGE connection was sufficiently speedy for transferring small files. Using the included Disc2Phone software and USB cable, which also charges the phone, we tried loading music onto our W300i. Transfer time was relatively slow at 30 seconds for a 5MG song, so you'll have to be patient for a large transfer. On the whole, however, the software is easy to install and exhibited few of the quirks we found on previous models. What's more, the phone didn't turn off automatically when we disconnected the USB cable. Music quality was on a par with that of other Walkman phones: clear and crisp, though one transferred song had some very minor hiccups. The W300i won't replace a stand-alone MP3 player, but it does the job admirably for short stints. Our one real complaint was that the phone had a tendency to freeze during normal operation, such as when we were scrolling through a menu or when we were using the USB connection. On one occasion, we had to reboot, but more often, the phone unfroze after a couple seconds.
