[edit] Design
The K300 is a 'candybar' style phone that weighs 83 grams, with its buttons operated by the thumb. It has the 'dual-front' design common to most Sony Ericsson mobile phones since the T630. The K300 is available in two colours, Visual Blue and Smooth Silver. The central joystick button is used for selecting options and navigating menus, with the "C" button as an 'undo' or 'delete' button, and the arrow-labelled button as a 'return' or 'back' button. The two buttons labelled by silver horizontal lines, known as 'hotkeys' or 'soft keys' perform the function of making binary decisions, labelled on the phone's display. The on/off button is located on the top of the phone next to the IrDA port.
On the left-hand side of the phone there is a shutter button that operates the phone's VGA camera. The camera can take photographs at three resolutions (640x480, 320x240 and 160x120). The camera also has the ability to capture video clips at 176x144 (QCIF) and 128x96 (SQCIF) resolutions and store them as .3GP files. The camera is situated on the back side of the phone.
[edit] Durability
Some people claim that their joystick sometimes stops working, a glitch that can be extremely frustrating when writing a SMS.
