Pros: Stylish, Compact, Loaded with many features.
Cons: Hard to read display, Ringer needs to be louder.
The Bottom Line: Well made device with many features. Should cost more, but does not. If you are an average user, give the T300 a look.

| linmk2's Full Review: Samsung SCH T300 Cell Phone |
I've been a cell phone user since 1988. My first phone was about the size and weight of a brick. With each phone purchase, the size and weight of the device has gone down. My carrier offered me a special deal if I switched to digital service. Up till this time such service was more than I wanted to pay. I'm not one of these people that has a cell phone plastered to the side of my head every waking hour, so if I could get something more for less, I thought why not. The T300 caught my eye the moment I walked into the store. I always felt I was a Motorola fan, but there was something about this little phone. It feels good in my hand. Goes into a pocket easily. Takes up much less space than my old "flip phone". The voice dial feature is a big plus. I have a problem remembering numbers! Some have complained that you can't put more than one number per person. I solved that issue but just stating something like; "Mary's cell phone. Mary's pager, ect" Frankly I don't see why some folks have a problem with the phone book feature. I think it works well. The construction quality of the phone is very high. All parts fit as the should and gives the impression the phone costs more than it actually does. If I had to make some improvements it would be on the display screen. While the screen seems large, the fonts of some of the features are hard to see. There is no adjustment to change to larger fonts. While the phone features more ring tones than the Boston Pops, the tones are not loud. Frankly, with the phone in my car's console, I'm not able to hear it ring. A problem I did not have with the phone it replaced. I've noted that
"ring 1" is the loudest of the group. I should say it is the least faint. There are phone that offer more, but cost a lot more. For the money I think the T300 is a "good buy".
