Sony Ericsson T303 Review - read honest Sony Ericsson T303 reviews
A sexy slider with a minimum set of functions, the Sony Ericsson T303 has a real edge in the looks department with some top class looks and construction. Even if it doesn’t pack a big punch in the specifications sheet, the multimedia functions which are present, along with the solid construction, make it really worth the price tag. After all, the T303 might be too good looking to be used just as a phone. The smooth sliding, the chrome design and the small size make the T303 emerge trumps.

As mentioned earlier, the Sony Ericsson T303 has looks that could kill. There are the control and the navigation keypad located under the display which are quite comfortable. The D-pad is surrounded by the 2 soft keys, the ‘My Shortcuts’, call and end keys and clear keys. The D-pad is fairly big and has a nice silver trim. The loudspeaker grill is located in a very quirky area. It is under the confirmation key. The 2 soft keys also have the silver finish. Tactility is very good on the keypad. Though the alphanumeric keypad is flat, they are quite big and are separated by thin rubber strips. This means that you won’t be accidentally pressing the wrong key when texting fast. The keys on the top of the alphanumeric keypad are easily accessible, something you won’t find in all sliders.
The right and the top side of the phone are bare. The bottom has the microphone and the left side has the Fast Port, which is used to connect the data cable, headphone and the charger. On the top of the left side is the lanyard eyelet.
The Sony Ericsson is a very good offering, all in all, but will face competition from the likes of the Sony Ericsson W200i, the Sony Ericsson W350i and the Nokia 1680.
