We like:
Walkman software, infrared and Bluetooth connectivity; good audio quality on calls; orange monochrome external screen, 256MB bundled memory card, 3.5mm headphone adaptor
We don't like:
0.3-megapixel (VGA) camera; fish-scale keypad; small OK button
CNET.co.uk judgement:
Sony Ericsson's W300i is a compact, cute Walkman phone that has a variety of communication options and comes with good music software. It's great value for money and gives you most of the features you would find with higher end models, but it's a shame the camera only has a 0.3-megapixel (VGA) sensor that takes blurry photos
