Samsung SPH-M300 / User Reviews

Okay so I'm going to start off talking about how I had my Samsung M510 (AMAZING PHONE) for 2 years from Bell and today I took it to get repairs. So then they gave me a Samsung M300 for a replacement and I knew right away it'd be the worst phone ever. Somebody I knew had it and it sucks!
I... More

i have had this phone for three years now and have dropped it many many times. i have had no problems with it and as i got it from pc mobile its pretty cheap. the battery lasts a really long time if you are just texting (three days about) and lasts two days (approx.) if you are calling people. yeah id... More

I got mine for free from Sprint as a loyalty reward, and now I am using it as my normal phone is lost->stolen and my new-to-me replacement phone has not shipped in yet.

Sprint used to include the Phone as Modem feature in the data plan (Power Vision), but then they devalued the plan by making PAM... More

it is a good phone the picture qualitly is not bad but if u need a temporary phone it \is i guess ok

Got M300 used, with the "cable" from Sprint. Never tried to download my pics to the PC yet, now the main LCD broke, can't see anything & would like to get my pics off it & tranfer to my PC. What program if any would I need?
Sprint tells me they cannot do that for me, to take them... More

so had no phone and so i get this unfortunate phone from a friend. it was about two years old when i got it. still in somewhat okay shape. all of the sudden i turn it on and there is a big black mark across the bottom quarter of the phone!?!! it sucked but i can still read texts and stuff so life goes... More

I've had this phone for two years and it hasn't given me any problems.

I think I paid about $30 with a ridiculously long contract for this phone, b/c I didn't need a lot of features and it was one of the cheap ones. As others have said, don't shave a couple of years off of your life expectancy just to get a simple cheap phone.

I have dealt with the same thing... More

Pro: Can handle being dropped from high up and on hard surfaces

Con: Slow web connenction software absolite need seperate items to put pics on PC bad photo resolution freezes bad in general

Using experience: 45 months

Well for me this phone is just awful. I cant get a new thanks to the locked in... More

When my phone died, i bought the cheapest phone I could buy to ride out the remainder of my contract with Bell. I have experienced very similar glitches as one of the posters mentioned. Text messaging is a HUGE problem for me, as the T9 will often spell out randoms things that aren't even words!... More

This is a very basic, no-frills phone. It is thin, shiny black flip phone that is not that exciting. if you just want a phone for calling and texting, this will do. it is not loaded with features but i haven't found any problems with it. never drops calls, decent reception, and the texts arrive... More

Ok, I guess you get what you pay for ($0 phone, of course), but this phone takes 'cheap' way too far. My largest complaint was best expressed by Dylan and Alex123: do not get this phone if you text often. It will freeze constantly requiring a battery removal, pushing 'back' more than... More

I have had this phone phone almost a year.It's only used for phone and texting.It has never let us down.Ihave used the camera a few times,no complaints.It is after all a phone, not meant to replace your computer or camera.We were very pleased with the battery life and only needed to charge it once... More

Pro: Simple, basic, does what an infrequent user would want, cheaply.

Con: Usually sold with a 3 year, locked in plan, for "free", ( if paying typically $30 US a month for 3 years = $1000 + service charges and fees etc. is " FREE" )and has been crippled deliberately so that most... More

I've had this phone since June 2nd 2008 with a 1-year contract.
And I'll have to say I'm very satisfied with the service as i had Free nights and weekends with unlimited messaging and some other features for only 25$

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a good phone &... More

I bought this to replace an older, non-bluetooth phone whose battery was packing it in (new battery for AudioVox 8615 = cost of the M300)

At first, I was OK with it, but having had it for a little under a year, I am now having severe buyer's remorse.

Phone:
Sound quality: good enough. No complaints... More

Pro: thin, sharp

Con: bad photo resolution

Using experience: 18 months

Never got trouble with that Cell Phone. The camera is not good at all, but all I need is a phone! It had never freezed up for me, it had a hard life and never let me down.
I don't use internet with it so can't say for... More

I neither love nor hate the Samsung M300. It is replacing an 8 year Samsung, model unknown. I left Bell and their contracts to try pay as you go with Presidents Choice.
I have one serious complaint that is probably going to necessitate the return of the phone. The phone speaker volume is just too low.... More
