Conclusion

The W300i packs a whole lot of fun into a mid-level device. With an adequate MP3 player, video recording and playback capabilities, various pre-installed software programs, EDGE high-speed Internet access, and Java games, this phone should keep its users busy.

With its MP3 and video capabilities, the W300i excels in the entertainment category. As a Walkman phone, the W300i offers a viable alternative to a separate MP3 player, although the resulting battery drain might concern some users. Although the VGA camera is hardly cutting-edge, video recording is a nice additional touch not yet found on many mid-range devices. Users may download or transfer media files of either type onto the phone, to listen to or watch while on-the-go.

The phone also meets standard communication needs, providing standard call options and a complete messaging system. The design makes use of dull plastic, a light weight, a non-traditional keypad, and orange highlights to create a handset which may not appeal to every taste, but which is certainly unique enough that the phone stand apart from the pack.
The W300i mixes exciting entertainment options with a standard, low-priced communications device to create an above-average mid-level phone. Fun and light, yet practical: the W300i.
