Sony Ericsson Z300 Review

Messaging:

With messages it is all simple, and besides text MMS can be sent/received, which contains pictures and sounds. There is an option of saving templates since the phone doesn't contain any. Strangely, when you enter the SMS menu, “templates” is white and pressing on it gives it the option of adding such, since there is none. With the MMS menu, “templates” is grey and when pressed it shows a message “No messages”, but it doesn't give you the option to create one! To do that you need to start typing a message, to enter whatever it is you want and use the red headphone – after you save it (in the unsent folder) you can save it as a template – quite an uncomfortable manipulation! T9 is used for faster text input.

Multimedia:

The multimedia options of the phone are expressed through showing pictures, playing polyphonic melodies (such as an incoming call sound) and theme adjustment of the appearance. The last ones are pleasant and change the wallpaper, as well as the background pictures in the menus – all this is familiar from the phones of Sony Ericsson starting with T68 (2001) up to today. It has a built in composer for monophonic melodies, in which I don't see a point. It has 3 games, which are know again from the older phones from this brand – the good part is that they load momentarily.

The Internet browse is primeval WAP 1.2.1, and the loading is done through a GPRS connection.
