Finding and opening the respective web sites takes some time, through the small display devices, it is not reasonable possible to view Web pages. The PC synchronization is a sad chapter, as the T303 only as storage for file transfer is detected. It is not possible, data with Outlook, etc to synchronize.

The image sharpness is fully satisfactory level, Derails, however, are not particularly accurate incorporated. The color appears largely neutral.

It is recommended that the mobile phone with antenna (headset) to keep quiet because otherwise noise and scratching is not there. One plus point wins the T303 anyway. With its function "radio host", namely it can easily record songs from the radio and then play them back. However, we also here the antenna and the mobile phone to keep quiet to ensure a best possible result for it. As a borderline shots because of potential appears very little internal memory.

8. Storage Capacity: 8 MB for user data internally and not expandable (also for user data is quite small and even in light of the price category below).

9. Conclusion: The photographic equipment is useful and easy additional settings, which are easy to take. The quality of the results is in normal lighting conditions well. A photo light is not available and therefore in the darkness no results. Easy to use built-in MP3 player that also sounds neat. The T303 has 8 MB of internal memory and is not expandable - this should be improved.

The earphones are also stable and sound pretty good

Overall Conclusion

The T303 is very good when you take it in the hand

The Sony Ericsson T303 offers a favorable market clearly visible benefits. Already the elegant and modern appearance, coupled with haptics surprisingly high, speaks to the user. The mirrored display and aluminum design elements bring a touch of exclusivity to the overall picture. To praise the ease of all mobile phones. No item should overwhelm a user. The 1.3 MP camera delivers in normal lighting conditions good results. Even the internal MP3 player comes with good sound and easy operation. Regrettably it also have several disadvantages in buying used, even in the beginners class would not be necessary. It is not possible, videos to create an e-mail account, the user can not set up. EDGE is sought in vain, as well as the internal memory is very low, and external expansion can not be implemented. Although it is a noble-looking mobile phone whose looks and value are only on telephoning and writing SMS messages sets.
