Sony Ericsson announced the W300 back in February of 2006. It was the seventh Walkman phone in the series that focuses on a great music experience on top of a mobile phone. Along side of the Sony Ericsson W600 and the W810i, which are the higher-end models in the series, the W300i comes in a compact clamshell form with the Walkman music hardware controls, support for a wide variety of music formats and a Memory Stick Micro expansion slot

A very capable feature phone that’s easy to use and small enough to live in any pocket. The full Walkman treatment makes it easy to use the phone as a casual music player, though it can’t compete with iPod’s higher music storage capacity and even better fidelity. If you are looking for an affordable GSM clamshell phone with good phone features and connection capabilities, you should give the W300i a look, especially if music is your thing.

Sony Ericsson W300i Reviews From mobiletechreview

Pro:
Compact size and lightweight, strong reception, excellent call quality, good browser by WAP browser standards and capable messaging features. Transferring music files to the phone is easy and the expansion slot is handy for storing tunes. Score one for Sony Ericsson for supporting MP3 and AAC music file formats. USB 2.0, Bluetooth and IR keep you connected.

Con:
The package doesn’t include the Memory Stick Micro adapter to use with card readers. The phone is a little buggy and freezes up once in a while with no apparent cause. (When that happens reboot the phone or take the battery out for a few seconds.) The number pad keys look great but are a bit hard to use. The Bluetooth radio drains a lot of battery power.

Sony Ericsson W300i Reviews From cnet

The good:
The Sony Ericsson W300i offers good call quality, a top-notch MP3 player, and a generous set of features.

The bad:
The Sony Ericsson W300i suffers from poorly designed controls and keypad buttons and low-grade picture quality, and it had a tendency to freeze on occasion in our tests.

The bottom line:
Though it has a few design and performance glitches, the Sony Ericsson W300i is a quality, basic MP3 cell phone.
