i bought this phone a few months ago not really too convinced about how good it was after reading all the opinions on here, but i'm glad that i did. tis is an excellent phone for the money you pay, in fact its probably better than most phones you pay alot more for.
i had the w800i for about two years and i thought it was great, but this thing blows it away. plus i recently updated the web access on it so now i can get instant meesenger too.
all in all i'm more than pleased with this phone and wont be changing it for a long time.

I am planning to buy this phone tomorrow, but when I read all your comments about that this is a useless and very bad phone, I'm getting unsure.. Is it really worth the money?

Hi! I'm Denny Abindan from Bacolod, Philippines..I got my W302i last month and in the nidst of using it,browsing all it's files and applications,i noticed a lot of poor specifications.these are; no copy and paste of texts,no infrared,camera is poor co'z of no zoom wen pic is already captured,poor speaker sound,slow browsing of files e.g pictures or music,screen turns all white when keypad lock is disabled and u have to remove the battery to use it again..and there is a lot of other disadvantages...i've been a sony ericsson user for years and this is the unit that made me sick of using such brand...that's all..thanks..stop using it guys!

I have the phone for 6 months and I am happy with it. It offers good functionality and appearance for the money you pay. It works a as modem under linux and mac os. The sound is not bad at all. Java apps run well excluding some which could not be installed such as google maps. No problems with opera mini 4, skype, nimbuz. So don't be so radical judging it.

Overall this phone is not worth a penny you spent on it.


The phones walkman player is slow and crashes regularly. The camera mode lacks zoom, unless in burst mode, which is a rather useless move which downgrades the quallity a lot. The OS often freezes at startup - the phone will take about a minute to catch up with itself, screen goes white and turns off.

The themes (which are on other ericcsson phones) are extremely limited and unexpandable. The 'sent messages' folder holds a poor amount of space and takes not long to fill up. Random contacts will have 'number errors' which are only fixed by deleting the contact and adding under a different name.


Worst of all, this phone fails to function correctly when it gets to low temperatures. It is virtually impossible to use in cold conditions as either a 'sim read error' or fake 'empty' display pops up on the screen.


Considering sony make the best phones on the market, this is poor

Is w302 equal to other walkman series in sony ericson?
is its sound quality (both FM and Mp3) really good like the other walkman series? Apart from hanging and other drawbacks i am verymuch concerned about its sound quality through its earphones
Is it worth buying?

Thank you.

aside from the constant hanging, and low message memory, its a good phone for cheap. one thing i notice is the screen color becomes red whenever im using the phone for call, games or radio. battery has a short life, considering its size, its ok. all in all its a good enough phone if you don't want to spend too much

the good:
- looks, weight, width and height

the bad:
- can store only a few messages
- hangs/freezes every so often, i have to remove the battery to make it start again
- the operator logo disappears and "insert sim" appears on the screen. you have to remove the battery and sim card to make it run again
- the sound is poor, too soft, you can barely hear it. the ascending alert is very very irritating.

if you have low expectations from a phone or not picky/choosy, you won't be disappointed. it's just a basic phone with basic features.

this is not even a true blue sony ericsson phone. they subcontracted sagem to manufacture it.
