I wanted to replace my old Nokia 3310 with something which I could securely lock the keys. My old phone used to dial 999 if I leant against anything even with the keys locked,. Very embarrassing. The slider phone solves this problem. A very affordable compact basic phone which I think is excellent value for money.

The software is easy and the key-pad has a good positive feel to it. More important though is that if you hand-dial a number, the characters come up on the screen in very large type - ideal for people who normally have to use glasses for reading - it saves the bother of finding/putting on the glasses. For people who want a simple phone and don't want the complications of camers or Email, the C300 is ideal

Battery life could be better - the leaflet offers 7 days on standby; vastly overstated!

- battery life (excellent)
- quite small so easy to keep in your pocket especially for a man that does not carry a handbag
- simple to use so no hassle
-
- when you wan to check a number in the phone book, after a while the number displayed start scrolling (horizontally) so it is quite difficult to read the full number
- alarm: I used the alarm function as alarm clock in the morning, but the alarm rings just once and it is quite annoying because there is no "buzz function". It means there is no a 2nd or 3rd ring after 8-10 minutes. It seems silly but I used to have a Nokia with "buzz" function and it is quite handy because if you do not deactivate the alarm the phone rings every 10 minutes and it prevent me to follow asleep again. Actually I still use the old Nokia as alarm clock.
Software: I choose a simple mobile because I needed just the basic function for a mobile (just make calls and write txts), but I’ve noticed that the operation system is a bit slow compare with my old Nokia mob. I would have expected a faster response form the modern system especially because I just use the basic function.
-ring tones: they could have provided a bit more variety of ring tones that one available are quite “pure”.
Calendar: does not report the week number.
- games: there are some available games but they are just “trial versions” so if you play after I while there is a message that invite you to buy them and after that the games stop. Ok, fine with that, I tried do delete them but was not possible.
