The Sony Ericsson W300i is a compact clamshell phone that feels good in hand. If you have seen or used the Sony Ericsson Z525 then you’ll notice the resemblance. The W300i comes in two colors: Shadow Black and Shimmering White. We have the Shadow Black for this review. It’s a light phone at 3.3 ounces and has a two-tone body (black and silver in this case) that gives the phone a modern look.

Sony Ericsson W300i review by Infosyncworld “Delivering music on the cheap, Sony Ericsson’s W300i delivers something of a contrast-filled out-of-box experience with a first-rate interface and sound quality - offset by low storage and an otherwise anemic feature set. Fortunately, memory expansion and a friendly price tag saves the day, making this an excellent alternative for those desiring a mix of solid call and message handling and excellent music capabilities.”
Sony Ericsson W300i review by MobileBurn “Sony Ericsson W300 is the seventh Walkman branded handset, with the company selling over three million units total worldwide, all of these are in the higher end of the price spectrum. The W300 presents a welcome change, and includes features such as 20MB of on board memory, Memory Stick Micro expansion, quad-band and EDGE compatible radio, and up to 30 hours of music enjoyment on a single charge.”
Sony Ericsson W300i review by Cnet “The W300i’s Walkman music player differs little from the previous handsets in the series. It supports a broad range of formats, including MP3, MP4, 3GP, AAC, and WAV files. Opening the player takes you directly to the main menu, where you can organize music by artist, track name, or playlist. Settings include album/song shuffle and loop, Sony’s Mega Bass, and an equalizer. Switching between the cell phone and the music player is seamless, as music automatically stops when you receive a call. Hang up and press the dedicated music key, and your song picks up from the point you left off. There’s an airplane mode that lets you listen to your tunes in flight with the cell phone turned off, and you can minimize the player while using other functions. There are stereo speakers as well but still no stereo Bluetooth profile.”
