The T300 has the call features that other phones have. The call list displays the contact name or phone number. After some time on the contact name, the date and time of call is shown. You can delete specific calls from the list, or clear the whole list easily. If you are familiar with network pricing you can configure the pricing to see how much each call costs.

As the title says, this menu holds the more fun of the phone's features. The T300 has customizable themes. You can pick and choose any web safe color, background pictures, desktop pictures, and menu bar pictures. Unfortunately the T300 doesn't have a built-in theme editor. But you can create themes on a computer and transfer them to the T300 via data cable, or infrared.

As for pictures, you can set 101 x 80 px backgrounds pictures to the phone. Additionally, you can add 93 x 62 px pictures to the contacts. The contact picture will pop up every time the person calls you. All pictures are gif files that use a special 256 color safe palette. One thing we would have liked to see is the ability to change the desktop picture (Picture behind the icon menu). The only way to change it is by changing it in a theme.

Composer lets you make monophonic ring tones on your T300. Nothing really exciting here. Just choose the note and the duration and see what you can make. You're better off finding polyphonic ring tones online and transferring them to your T300.

As for games, Alien Scum is basically Sony Ericsson's version of Space Invaders. You basically move left and right and shoot aliens as they move left and right getting closer and closer to you. Black Deal is blackjack. You can save your score and come back later. Pretty ordinary. Minigolf lets you play a game of 18 holes. Choose the direction you want to putt in, and the power. Then just let it rip.

Another great thing about the T300 is the ability to download and install other games on your phone. When you get tired of your old games, just delete them and download new ones. A word of warning, many of the good games are coded by 3rd party programmers. So expect to pay a couple dollars for the full versions.
