I really want this phone, but I am confused. In some pics, the phone is one dark metallic color with the answer and end call buttons on one side, and all the buttons are the same color. Other pics have the top of the phone dark, and the call and end call buttons are on different sides, with the buttons a different color on the outside rows (like the pic on this site). So are there two different models? Is one the older one? Or if there is only one, which one is the one out there?

Apart from looking like a calculator, this phone isn't that bad, (1.3mp cam, video, bluetooth) and the size is really small, this phone isn't for me, this phone in my opinion is for the older generation.

I read about a cover for Samsung P300, with a built-in batterie. As soon as you close the cover it re-charges the phone batterie

i wanted to have a phone that i can easily slim into my pocket and be inconspicuous about it. p300 is just perfect for the job. its a basic phone with good features. good camera. good battery life. keyboard arrangement is apparently not that bad. it takes some getting used to. i am happy with it. i could be happier if i could change the message alert tone to my mp3's and not be stuck with the built in midi ringtones.

You guys laugh at this phone because you want it so badly but you can't afford it. Its as simple as that.

We've just got this phone into our o2 shop, it's lovely! It's the real antithesis of cool, slapping the face of Sonys Walkman and Nokia L'Amour ranges. Sure, it hasn't got the features, but it is representative of that current ultra-chic decade - the 80s. I'd have one, but I like features too much to be concerned with what's hot and what's not... :-P

Hi i’m a french mobile phone dealer and i think i can explain you why there is a difference between the talk time announced by samsung and the gsm arena ones.
I think it comes from the fact that there is a secondary battery in the origin holster of the phone, furnished by Samsung so if you just considerate the phone included battery there is only 3hrs talk time but if you considerate the 2 batteries you can up to the double, about 6 hrs and Samsung are very optimistic by announcing 8 hrs.
Hoping to have answer to your question and sorry for my bad level in English

Hi, I have a question, they list it as Modern Black color which is silver in front with black stripe on top. Do they offer it as full plain black front?

Cheers

i have to agree with "trickyhenry" there is nothing else on the market like this. i too have been waiting for something unconventional and this fits the bill, the only thing missing is external memory for mp3’s as 80mb isn’t really enough, then i couldn’t fault this phone.
Ordered mine on 5/4/06 but out of stock. I cant wait!!

Has any one got some pics taken with the camera?

thanks

I don't think many people on here have much apreciation for a 'uber' or retrochic design. Who the hell wants a Nokia? why do you want the same phone as everyone else? Can't you be different? This is a fantactic design and will probably influence nokia, motorola, sony eric so make their own versions. Mark my words!! rememeber this when you go out to buy nokia's small flat phone! Just because it's a bit different doesn't make it weird or ugly.. this is exactly the type of phone you want! its understated, its feature packed. I love the design and have waited years for someone to have the forsight to bring out a sucha cool phone. Mine arrives tomorrow! I can't wait!

Spot on design! The fact that the 'skool kidz' hate it only increases it's appeal!

Deffo reccommended, now on O2 for 20 quid on contract!

What are you waiting for!!!

At first sight it looks like a calculator, with no doubt (picture). The real deal is very slick. Nice looking slim phone. You will hate it or just love it (like me). Go to your dealer and just watch en feel it. You will like it too.
