Samsung's SGH-P300 Credit Card Phone review - TechAmok
Samsung's SGH-P300 Credit Card Phone review - [mobile] 06:35 PM EDT - Apr,15 2006 - post a comment
MobileBurn reviewed Samsung's SGH-P300 Credit Card Phone which measures only
88mm x 54mm x 9mm (3.5" x 2.1" x .35") in size, and weighs in at 83g (2.9oz).
Here's an excerpt:
Sadly, it is in the most basic of phone functions that the Samsung SGH-P300
shows its only real fault of note. Call audio quality on the P300 is relatively
poor. Both inbound and outbound audio quality lack clarity and suffer from
differing types of distortion. My first call made on the device, with my mother,
immediately resulted in her asking what device I was using. She knew right away
that I was using a new phone for the call. The audio quality when using the
speakerphone or a Bluetooth headset is also bad. There really is no way around
it.
That is a real shame since the device does everything else so well. Battery life
in two separate tests (one transmitting silence, one transmitting constant
music) both resulted in over 7 hours of talk time when used with a 1900MHz GSM
signal. That is more than twice what Samsung claims for the device (3 hours).
When you toss the leather case onto the phone, you can expect another 50% worth
of talk time. The battery performance is no doubt aided by the fact that there
is a strong signal here in my office and that the device itself also exhibits
good reception properties in general. Your personal results may vary -
especially on the 900 and 1800MHz frequency bands that we didn't test.
The Samsung SGH-P300 does not have a real profiles system, but does at least
have easy access to a configurable silent mode. Depending on how you choose to
configure it, entering silent mode by long pressing # key can either make the
phone 100% silent or cause it to activate the vibration alert for calls and
messages. Your options for the regular mode are limited to a selection of
ringtones, the option of using a "vibrate then ring", or a vibrate only setting.
There is no option for "vibrate and ring" on the P300.
