hi, I bought it yesterday. It is PRS. 10,800.00. It has some limits and problems. Like ringtones, sms/mms tones limits and gprs connectivity and java applications installation problems. The material use of whole body is quite cheap and scratches but design is kool. No edge, no infra. All other features are good enough. But cannot compete SE K750i PRS. 11,200.00 and Nokia 6230i PRS. 12,300.00...

Hi all,

Its nice to see Kannan's suggestion on www.gsmarena.com regarding the setting of GPRS of KG300. Thank you.

However, in Delhi, I have subscribed for Net On Phone (NOP) from my Airtel Connection by dialing *202*1# and for that they have deducted Rs. 99. It was some 4 days back. Since then, I have been talking with many Airtel Executives to give me the IP Address, port no., setting etc. But everything is in vain. The Airtel Executives simply says that this handset (KG300) does not support any NOP, GPRS etc. and it is not in their list of compatible mobile. Can you help me.

Also the Bluetooth connectivity range of KG300 to Nokia is just within few centimeters. If you go just few feet away the connection failed. Is there any setting for Bluetooth device in this phone (KG300) so that the range increase???

Another thing is that, How to send ringtone from KG300 to other mobile (not via Bluetooth)???

Thanks,

Gajananda
