CNET Asia Review
Very good
The good: Bluetooth; onboard MP3 player; megapixel camera; compact, eye-catching design; solid performer.
7.6
out of 10View score
The bad: Button layout takes acclimation; tinny music quality; unintuitive speakerphone access; little memory space; patchy Bluetooth call quality.
The bottom line: Like all other designcentric phones, the Samsung SGH-P300 is not for everyone, but its powerful features, admirable performance, and compact form factor give it a perverse appeal.

amazing fashioned phone for men
Oct 16, 2006Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: lightweight, superior & macho design, vivid color.
Cons: no FM radio, no external memory
Opinion:
I have used this phone for 4 months and never feel better than now. Many samsung users in Indonesia but I can't find other people use this phone. I feel that samsung made this phone only for me.
Voice quality and ringers are average. Photo quality and its vivid color screen are excellent. The lack of radio and external memory could be understood due to its extreme thin size.
Eye-catcher
Oct 6, 2006Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Unique design, large and clear screen, well-tailored leather case
Cons: No memory expansion, no FM radio, ringing tone volume low, weird positioning a buttons
Opinion:
This is a unique phone, there's no similar-looking one in the market. Oh, unless you're looking at the solar-powered-calculator-market.
The screen is large and resolution is great. The camera also takes very good photos. So far, I have no problems with calls and SMS. The leather case is well-tailored and looks very pleasing.
Ok, now the drawbacks of the phone, no memory expansion and only 80+ MB internal memory. So I guess you can store a dozen of MP3 songs and (only) 200 photos you have taken with the phone camera. No FM radio (what the....!). Relatively low volume, its ringing tone, and there seems to be nothing I can do with it. And the numberpad is missing a 4th row, so I need time to get used to remembering the "*", "#" and "0" are on the left and right side instead.
I got this at $438 from Singtelshop recently. I still think it's a bit ... Read more
Useless for business
Jul 20, 2006Rating: 3 out of 10 (Poor)
Pros: small, good conversation piece for a while
Cons: great piece of jewelry, terrible phone
Opinion:
I really wanted to liek this phone, the design is visually excellent and small is good but after persisting for a month I've ditched it. Walking around town with the phone in my pocket I missed 4 calls in an hour, ducked into a store and bought another phone.
You simply can't use it for business if every call could be an important one.
I was reduced to keeping the my bluetooth headset in my ear 8 hours a day but who needs that.
Think I'm going to give it to my hamster.
