Sony Ericsson
T303 Review
Phone rating: 
In a nutshell: An entry-level phone that's compact and nicely
styled. The T303 has very basic functionality and hardly any memory,
but it does have excellent battery life.
Review:
October 2008. Updated April 2009.
The Sony Ericsson T303 isn't a Cyber-Shot and it
isn't a Walkman phone. Instead it's an entry-level
phone with a basic set of functions.
It's very nicely styled, with soft edges and a
mirror glass display, and is available in a choice of Shadow Black
or Shimmering Silver. It's compact and kind of cute looking, with
a small but functional keypad.
The T303 includes a 1.3 megapixel camera with digital
zoom. This is fine for taking quick snaps in good lighting, but
there's no flash, so taking pictures indoors or at night isn't recommended.
No video camera is included.
It does come with a media player and an FM radio
with RDS. Unfortunately the memory is limited to 8 Mbytes, with
no memory card slot, so you'll only be able to store a couple of
MP3 tracks. These can be used as ringtones.
The battery life is excellent, and the connectivity
options include both Bluetooth and USB. If you're looking for a
compact phone that's good for making calls, sending texts, and maybe
taking the odd photo, then this could be the one! The Sony
Ericsson F305 is a step up if you'd like the benefit of a memory
slot, a better camera and better games.
Features of the Sony Ericsson T303 include:
- 1.3 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom
- Display: TFT, 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
- MP3 player
- FM radio RDS
- TrackID™
- MP3/AAC ringtones
- Speakerphone
- Sound recorder
- Messaging: SMS, MMS
- Java games
- Picture wallpaper
- Personal organiser functions
- Connectivity: Bluetooth, USB
- Memory: 8 Mbytes
- Vibration alert
- Triband (GSM 900/1800/1900)
- Size: 83 x 47 x 15 mm
- Weight: 93g
- Talktime: 9 hours
- Battery standby: 400 hours

A decent, no frills phone. Mine was £20 refurbished and was already
unlocked - can't say fairer than that. I really don't want another camera/MP3
player/games console and I don't text much, so it's ideal. And LOL at
all those moaning about the lack of internal memory and no expandablity.
Learn to read kiddies, then you can check reviews and specs BEFORE you
buy a phone. Idiots.

This is a cracker, and I'll tell you why. I had a rather large Nokia
, model number is one i dont care to remember, but in all the years
i had owned it, it had refused to die despite the most appalling treatment
and on several occasions i had been convinced i would never get rid
of it. Needless to say vanity won the day last week, when i brought
the t303 home. Unlike some reviewers on this site, I had been determined
to find out as much as possible about this phone before it came to permanently
replace the old workhorse. I got hold of the user's guide/manual on
pdf and had a thorough read. I compared this phone's features against
others in detail and then made my choice. The expandable memory was
top of my list and since the t303 lacked this I wondered what else it
had to compensate. It is a very small phone which for me would probably
be overcompensating for the Nokia. The T303 has en eyelet on it's side
from which a wrist /neck strap could be hung: less danger of losing
it then. It has a simple yet classy design, a fact I confirmed when
I held it in my hands for the first time. Volume through the earpiece
is vey good. Also suppled with earphones. It has bluetooth; file sharing
is a must; Capacity for ringtones and themes taken care of. There are
free themes/ringtones available for download from S/E site, my tenner
roped in to the purchase deal for the phone would come in handy. Note,
a propriety USB cable would be an additional expense. My mp3 player
is my preferred data storage device. I am not a chatterbox and hence
battery life is one I can live with very comfortably. It has FM so does
my music player, and more than once, I've started a train journey little
realising, I had not charged the player in advance. Crumbs... Not likely
now. Camera is adequate, I mostly send photos of things seen whilst
out shopping to mates and family anyway. As an experiment, I have uploaded
almost an hour's worth of mp3 files on to this phone. A little confession
first, the mp3 files are converted mono versions of songs further encoded
at lower bit rates. The lower quality is not noticealbe to any great
extent on this phone especially if listening at a low to moderate volume
setting. You'd have to be a skinflint audio phile to complain about
this. Overall, a very good phone and it is excellent value for money.
I cannot expect a phone to include all features referred to as missing
on this site without a rise in cost or a loss in battery life Considering
you get what you pay for, I certainly do not feel short changed in choosing
the T303

If you want a tiny phone with excellent battery life, this is it. Bonus,
it's inexpensive. If you want features, features, and more features
that you will never use, then this is not the phone for you. Likewise,
it's not the phone for those who want to constantly be entertained with
games or to have an iPod and phone in one. However, it does have a radio.
Most would probably prefer the black model over the silver, as the latter
has an annoyingly functional mirror created by the screen.

If you are like me and require a phone, for talking to people, texting
and organising those sorts of functions then this little phone is perfect.
If you want a toy to play with then go for something else. I have never
yet come across a camera in a phone that’s of much use, emailing,
web browsing listening to music, file storing etc aren’t the point
of the T303 and shouldn’t be expected. So once again this is a
near perfect little phone, mine is now 4 weeks old and has been totally
reliable, is high quality with a solid clunk to the slider, it looks
good, slips into my shirt pocket and has all the functions a phone should
have. Battery life is long, speaker is now good and loud since I found
the volume control, - highly recommended and a bargain.

the slider is great' the only bad thing about this phone is the camara
is rubbish' and it has no memory card slot' but i bought this phone
to use as a phone and texting and have had no problems at all the reception
is great everywhere' i am with the o2 network. it is perfect in size
for just slipping into your pocket. if your looking for a phone to make
calls and text then this is for you but if your looking for a mp3 player
and camara then dig a bit deeper in your pocket. i have managed to get
3 mp3 songs on mine and thats it but you can delete some themes for
more space for mp3's. i am over the moon with the handset as it does
what i want' so it really depends on what your looking to get out of
mobile phone really. great phone great price.

Well, I bought one of these things for £35 and for the money you can't
fault it. I bought it as my C902 got stolen and the insurance won't
replace it so I needed something cheap so I could at least use all my
contract minutes and texts till I get an upgrade in November. Main issues:
* the screen is very low-res and the viewing angle ain't up to much
- not looking forward to trying to work it on a sunny day or if I've
taken halluciogens * there is no memory for pictures or MP3 - but the
way I look at it, it's not a camera phone. It's a phone that happens
to have a camera that you can use in case of extreme emergency - if
you suddenly see the loch ness monster or are first on the scene of
a major plane crash, you will still be able to get a quick snapshot
to send to the newspapers, but it's not gonna take great pics of your
mates out on the lash. * the quality from the earpiece isn't fab, but
it is useable. the worst thing for me is that it does not appear to
be compatible with the Sony Ericsson PC suite (even though the phone
can connect to your PC with USB) - meaning I can't easily migrate the
300 or so contacts stored on my PC. On the plus side, it's built like
the proverbial brick outhouse. Considering this was the cheapest phone
in the shop at £30 on prepay, you really cannot afford to be sniffy
for this kind of money. These days you can't even get three rounds of
drinks in for yourself and two mates in the pub for that kind of money!
Cheap and cheerful - I'd give it 7 out of 10 if we were marking out
of 10, but 4 out of 5 will have to do.

This is basically what it says on the box - An entry level, simple phone.
I've always been a big Sony fanboy, but recently my loyalty has been
tested with their slider phones. I've had the W580i and the W910i and
both of them have had loose sliders. Not just in isolation either, I
had at least 4 different handsets of each phone and all were loose.
So my hopes for this weren't great but I purchased it anyway and I'm
pleased I did. It's a brilliant reliable phone. Everything works perfectly.
I've had it for 3 months and the only tiny problem has been the phone
freezing once or twicc during uploads of pictures to my PC. The buttons
are all nice and easy to use, although the key pad needs breaking in
and getting used to at first. If you want a cheap, reliable, no thrills
phone that looks good - buy this one!

The specification for this phone covers all of my requirements. It's
a basic phone, and it is capable of sending and receiving texts. I don't
want a camera on a phone as none of the camera phones which I've used
are up to stand alone cameras. The phone is nicely styled and feels
substantial. The Bluetooth feature works well. However it uses a different
contacts referencing logic to other Sony Phones, and so transfer of
your contacts via the SIM card is more complicated than it should be.
BUT: I live in a marginal area for reception and this phone is the worst
which I have had (or which I have seen operating) in this area for loosing
the signal. This is a pity as in other respects this is a fine basic
phone.

Totally agree with Karyn from Australia - a phone is a phone is a phone.
Granted it does have a small memory which may not be to everyone's liking,
but you get what you pay for. This is a inexpensive but nice looking
phone with an fm radio and a camera. If you're looking for an all singing
all dancing portable do-all then go out and spend a few hundred bucks
on something. People should really check a few reviews and do a bit
of research before parting with their money. One reason I bought this
is because of the size and ease of use - particularly the slider. I
bought it for our 8-year old, who is largely paralysed and can barely
hold a phone (but, boy, can he use it!). He's just tickled pink because
he's just figured out how to open it with the one hand he can use -
took some doing but it's the perfect phone for him. The menus are pretty
easy to follow - much like on his mother's, aforementioned, all singing
all dancing portable media centre. I bought the UK T-Mobile Daisy edition.
You get a plain and a daisy patterned battery cover with this edition,
plus a little daisy "fob". I paid a few quid to unlock it from T-Mobile's
grasp - no problems there. Battery life seems pretty good too. Can't
fault it for what I paid.

Best low cost phone on the market. Recommended. I bought my T303 from
Dick Smiths, for $99. I was looking for a phone with basic features,
such as the 1.3 Megapixel camera, Bluetooth, etc. Compact size and sleek
design, and pleasant to use for texting. I got my moneys worth. I am
extremely happy with this product. I had a bit of trouble trying to
figure out how to turn speaker volume up on a call, but that was user-error
(didn't read the manual properly) For me, it is what a phone is conventionally
used for, an attractive appearance, and a camera a cut-above from the
VGA is a good. I don't beleieve it is necessary to manage all my cultural
and social expereinces on a digital context. I text my friends, I make
calls, and take pictures. That's it. I have a stereo, a personal laptop,
and a good social life. I don't want a phone that controls my life for
me. I'm beyond happy with my SE T303.

lines ahead of the phone within seconds. Slow is an understatement.
After only two weeks the speaker is all crackly so it sounds like earth
to mars everytime i get a call. I could go on...... its a nice phone
as i said like the lasses in southend in many ways all brassy,tempramental,
no class but cheap and fun for a few hours.

I recieved this as a christmas present, excellent design, i love the
mirror on the front screen, i can look at myself. Down sides are not
a good enough amount of memory, i can only store 1 song on and I want
more! Pitty there isn't a memory card slot. You can't really hear the
other person on the phone, i have to switch ears all the time. Might
get a new one for my birthday, not the same phone, maybe a lj webslider.

I bought this phone because I have no need of a high-end one. All I
require is the ability to make calls. The phone is compact, looks attractive
but I have been plagued, over and over with one specific problem: Very
often when I try to get into my messages or contacts I get a message
saying that it's opening that section but doesn't succeed. This has
happened on several occasions when I have been in dire need of making
a call. In short, I can in no way rely on it. I have dispraxia and rely
on it to remember and access the numbers for me and despite the low
price, I expect at least that.

I have this as my spare phone and I think it is creat. I got it for
less than £35 and it looks and feels as if it cost so much more. It
doesn;t have a million features, just the basiscs, and it does everything
very well indeed. It is very small, unlike the huge bricks on offer
everywhere these days. If you want someithing smart, well designed,
high quality and great value for money, without loking as if you got
i from the bargain bin, this is the phone for you. If you want all the
features, spend a mortgage payment on an iPhone.

I bought this phone 2 weeks back and the phone software is very buggy.
The screen gets garbled and turns completely white. Initially I had
to re-start it to come back to normal. But now, when i start up the
phone, the screen is completely white and stays that way for ever. It
does ring though when anyone calls or if there is an alarm!! Anyways
will return it.

for all the people reading the bad reviews out there, stop and read
this one. Those ppl knew what they were buying, with a not so great
camera or song memory. this is why iPods and HD Camcorders were made!
it does what you need it to, with great battery life for phone calls
and (depending on ur contract / pay-as-you-go) many texts. its stylish,
solid, unique, does everything it says on the tin. Fully Recomended.

I needed to get a cheap phone to use for mainly texting.And on my student
budget 50 quid got me a pretty nice phone! The fact it is made of metal
is really good as ive found it to be very hardwearing and feels quite
solid whilst your texting! (dropped twice from about 5 ft onto pavement!
And no bumps or problems!) It looks really good too with the mirrored
screen, but i find im constantly wiping the screen as the shinyness
looks awful with finger marks! The only problems is that the memory
is really bad! I put about 2 songs on and about 20 pics max and it got
full! and you can only save about 10 messages, However the inbox holds
about 150 messages and a few pic messages which was quite good! It does
take a few seconds to connect too when answering calls and sometimes
also crashes if you press things too fast! But i found the internet
to be working really easilly, and the actual ease of use of the phone
was very simple to use and required no reading of instructions! The
camera is okay! But has no flash and if your a shakey hand photographer
then it can blur easilly! But its fine for basic pics! Only major problem
is that my on/off button has now broke after a month or so! However
this phone came with a years warrenty so will be replaced no problem!
Overall its a really nice looking small phone for the price and does
all the basic functions you need from a phone! Quite hard wearing and
feels really solid so great for texters! Easy enough to set up everything
when you get it too! Not too bad as a phone, buy a camera/ipod if you
want good photos and lots of music! haha

There are some very mixed reviews on this phone, and mine's a combination
of the good and bad. I chose this phone cos I'm a student on a budget
and just wanted something that would make calls, send texts, and look
good, and the T303 does those three things well enough, so it was worth
my £50. However, when I answer a phone call it does take like 5 seconds
to connect to the phone ringing me from when I slide mine open - does
anyone else find this?! I end up saying "hello?" about three times down
the line before I hear my mate's voice which gets a bit annoying. Another
thing is, don't buy this phone for its photo-taking abilities cos it's
pretty poor on that, with no flash, but as I said, if you're like me
and just want the basics from a good-looking phone, the T303 is probably
for you.

Not a bad mobile overall. 2 cons are: Camera is only 1.3 megapixel (pictures
taken aren't of a very good quality) and overall memory is only 8mb.
This mobile is perfect for those who have a good digital camera and
a mp3 player of some sort and won't be relying on T303 for these 2 duties!
I have only had the T303 for a week but overall I like the design and
the weight of the mobile. It fit's into the palm of your hand and your
pocket. It has that slic look about it. As you end a call and close
the slider, after about 15 seconds the screen turns into a mirror. Handy
feature for those who like to look at themselves constantly. :-)

I just bought this phone and I have to say for £49.99 it's pretty good.
It's a simple no frills phone with a colour screen, SMS, MMS and calling
feature and a fairly decent 1.3 megapixel camera. I think people are
expecting too much from this phone. It's not a high end phone therefore
you won't get high end features. The only thing for me is getting used
to a smaller screen but hell we managed with no colour screens for years
I'm sure getting used to a smaller screen won't take long! All in all,
cute, compact and does what it says on the tin! For those wanting more
- you need to fork out more money.

Looking at some of the bad reviews on here, you'd think people don't
pay any attention to what phone they're buying. Lack of memory, no dedicated
music features, and low screen resolution: aren't these all things you
should be aware of before you purchase? Believe it or not, for some
of us these things are actually advantages. We don't want the menus
cluttered with features we'll never use, or superb screens that suck
battery life in a matter of hours. But we do want a nice little phone
that's got better build quality than the plasticky "budget" handsets
(see anything Nokia offers for less than £50). There aren't many such
phones on the market, but the T303 is one of them, and it does an excellent
job of doing the things it's designed for.

Great phone! I use this on a paygo (prepaid) plan with Vodafone. I needed
a small and decent phone for my work that was cheap with not too many
frills, yet basic nice stuff like bluetooth, a camera and good midi
support. This is completely the answer to that demand. Sound quality
is good, menu response is fine and the phone OS is stable. The phone
is very compact and light so it doesn't feel like a burden to carry
it along side my regular mobile phone (an SE k770i). Writing off a phone
because there is not enough space for a song on the internal memory,
is missing the point I think. There are better walkman phones out there,
just as there are better camera phones or phones to browse the internet
with. This phone is just what it is. A simple yet very decent entry
level phone, that will please most people who are searching for a cost
effective solution to call, sms and mms with. It's triband so it will
work in most places around the world. The shiny display doubles as a
mirror when the screen is off. I think it is good phone and I would
recommend it. Just don't compare it to the 400 dollar phones that are
out there. You get what you pay for and in this case I consider it a
good deal.
