Detail/comment:

Mobile phone lately slim, fashionable and over need all, crowded feature. It is no surprise F300 comes crowded with various multimedia features, including one innovative two screen design. So, F300 is another call a long line uniquely patterned portable phone one would either love or genuinely hate.

I should acknowledged that design is very interesting and attractive ¡V so far at least one person has asked me about when my phone whipped it out in public. Suffice to say, F300 is guaranteed single head lathe.

Two F300 side functionality was the split between phone and side music. On the phone side, you will not get something out ordinary, fair a large that pleasant Pad to type in and use. One thing that act do sine loco is him unusually small 1.4in censor (more about who later). Flip to other parties and you will meet a large, attractive 2.1in censor and a sensitive touch pad for navigation.

On both sides phone, is several buttons and slot smaller. Since not exist could get off battery protect to you to insert you SIM's card, slot rests with side phone. There you will also get headphones, charger and slot microSD's card and a button alternate phone and mode music.

Messaging nightmare

To be honest, F300 designs succeed difficult to be used as a mobile phone. Main factor turned me closed from fully use him as a telephone is statement it has a small LCD screen. F300 refines is far very small to see SMS texts. While keypad feel good use, read messages not as pleasant because you is limited to read two for three lines of text at one time.

In terms of making calls, F300 makes and accept call good. Only my problem did get in use F300 as a telephone is it no that inaudible ringing tone could be heard in a noise environment.

To make matters worse, not exist vibration function to be cautious you a incoming call. Another feature lacking F300 is a speakerphone so it is quite uncomfortable in situations when you cannot hold phone till your ears.

Amazing Stamina
Phone result two screen nature, it only seems naturally those Samsung if protective casing piece of leather to protect him of be scratching one post to goods in control us. To my surprise protection case come up with a built in outside battery reach battery life F300 very.

Usually ordinary mobile phone continued one thing or one charge over two day single. Outside battery with the help, ended F300 four days continued use before finally distribute. Suffice to say, I am impressed with his stamina.

Extraordinary battery life make F300 very useful for days long without or when one only there was no while to prosecute you phone. Meanwhile, music side F300 clearly looks like it is designed for a serious music phone. All is here ¡V a easy-to-use music player, sensitive pad one touch and a expansion slot microSD.

F300 is a decent music phone ¡V it has sound quality that good will help keep new things in your daily commute. Overall, music play on F300 have one good mix three and without distortion base obvious and any in sound.

Also, is relatively easy music player use although one would has earmarked use to controls. While sensitive touch pad to be simple to get used to, I found other buttons little clustered simultaneously and more than once I stressed chance wrong button.

Fundamental options as repeat or drag songs is also present. Exist preset a variety way equalizer and a 3D good choice. However, not exist equalizer manual mode so you no can pinch it to feel you.

Not Picture Perfect:
Camera-wise, F300 2 megapixel camera is the average present best camera. I only managed to get decent see the picture in brightly lit environment. Pictures majority taken indoors dressed abusive and noise. Camera also suffer from follow up conclusion, make him unimaginably difficult to take action shots. Video recording is extremely jerky and almost cannot be seen even when recorded at highest quality.

Other multimedia functions as sound recorder and FM's radio trouble work who without too much. Users has two methods transfer songs between their phone and PC. One can pick to drag and fallen music rows microSD's for card directly (there also a card reader provided for you facility) or use mode Media Transfer to in keeping with you Windows Media's playlist.

Another option is to install Samsung PC Studio software to transfer music, pictures and videos. While programme see good and spiffy, clunky interface succeed difficult to transfer songs.

Wacky Web Browsing
F300 comes with a sailor web but after attempt to surf Web on the phone, me do with was confident say that this phone not designed for network browsing. To enter network browsing application, you have to bring up phone side F300, enter network speech and then rising it compared to see it on the screen bigger. Since not exist keypad to type on the side music, one would have to make all typing you on the phone side.

Alternative will become use sensitive pad touch to scroll through own letters and that is definitely unwise. This made network browsing both dull and disappointing as you forced continued rising between phone and music side to enter text and graze. In bright side, large 2.1in censor offers you lot of room to see webpages, make them easier to read.

The Verdict:
Overall, Samsung Ultra Music F300 is a telephone uniquely designed seems to have all a user can want in a telephone. However, F300 is a Jack-of-all-trades and no sir. As a music player, successful F300 in the quality tone delivery although music player interface could have been improved on. However, greatest problem faced by F300 is it lack fundamental that nimble phone features vibration and speakerphone like functions

More, two side design no really make him any easier use the telephone.

Pro: Intriguing design; good music recording; excellent battery life.
Con: Under camera average; there was no speakerphone, manner no vibration; should switch parts to enter some function.
