What is it: Slim tri-band phone with 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and MP3 player
What we think: It might look like a calculator, but when it's this small who cares? The P300 really is a pocketable mobile phone

"Objectively, it's a nice phone to have"

Review:
I bought it because it looked like a calculator. Plain and simple. I figured it will have the wow factor for a long long time to come. I heard that this phone is no longer in production, as such, this phone will be a great classic. I have a PDA phone that I use to download my mails and needed a small phone for general use and for weekends where I will leave my PDA behind. I have so many people shocked to find out it's a phone. The leather/extended battery is ingenious. The power plug and the plastic cover to protect the jack on the phone seems fragile though. The phone is hard to keep clean, expecially around the keys. Talking with the leather cover is also funny 'cos the flap touches your mouth. The software is fine, like all software, once used to it, it's fine. Not slow. It's sufficient for my purposes. Overall, the metal body makes the phone feel great.

Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks

Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
BlackBerry Bold 9700
Has everything that makes the BlackBerry format great, but other smart phones offer more innovation
