Introduction
Most people think of a cellular phone
just being a communications tool. But then there are the other people, people
like me, who think that just about exactly the opposite. In my opinion, a cell
phone is a gadget to play games, surf the internet, and show off with, as well
as the occasional phone call or two.
I've been through three different cell
phones before I met up with the Sony Ericsson T300. I started out with a
Motorola Startac, but I quickly threw it out after it broke in half. I then
bought myself a Motorola v120c. I had no big problems with that one, but the
lack of cool features such as games turned me off. I then switched to T-Mobile
from Verizon Wireless, because T-Mobile offered a World Plan, letting me use my
phone all around the world. When starting my plan, I chose the business-like
Samsung Q105. Too bad that phone had almost no features. The only thing that
really stood out with this phone was the included data cable to sync my phone
with a PC. Otherwise, it was very bland.
About six months into owning the Q105, I
got fed up with it and sold it on eBay for $75. With that money, I bought a Sony
Ericsson T300, also on eBay, brand new for just $145. It was money well spent.
This is the first phone I've owned with
such an extensive feature list. Of course, the most noticeable thing about this
phone is the color screen, and in my opinion, the most useful and fun one too.
But, there are plenty of other things that makes this phone worth writing about.
