Nokia Asha 300 Sim Free Mobile Phone - Graphite

Have already got one of these phones and love it so much I bought another as a spare when mine eventually breaks (as phones eventually do). Good size to hold. So easy to use; camera is good and takes lovely photos (used it for my daughter's wedding), sends and receives picture messages (on EE network), stores music to the MP3 player and can be played back without the need for headphone if required. Touch screen works really well and the face can be changed to show favourite icons and a photo. Keys easy to use - about the right size. I did purchase a gel cover for the phone and a screen protector just to try and make it last longer! Original Asha has been in constant use for over 4 years (and dropped a few times!) with no sign of failure in any area, so hopefully this won't be used yet-a-while. Brilliant little phone; can't fault it.

Had this phone about three weeks now. Wanted a relatively inexpensive phone with a keypad since I like to text the "old fashioned way" with one hand. For less than £50 this phone provided that but also (a) enabled me to use my old "Orange" SIM with its "Dolphin" rewards (b) is therefore a genuine pay-as-you-go rather than a monthly bundle (which suits me better) (c) has a screen of sufficient size for occasional internet use (d) is very intuitive to use and enabled me to get on with things as soon as I inserted the SIM from my old near death phone (e) has a first rate 5Mp camera that takes very good shots / video ... better I think than the camera (14Mp ?) on my more costly smartphone. I have attached a shot taken last week - compressed for quick upload - as a sample. All in all I am very satisfied with this little gem.

Great phone. Bought this after smashing my contracted Blackberry (didn't take out insurance) and have been more then happy with it. Does exactly what I need from a phone, I have other devices for work or browsing. You can connect to a personal email account and social media like Facebook, but it also gives you the ability to minimise data use for those buying on PAYG. The camera produces some pretty good outdoor pics when lighting is good but you won't get many great indoor shots as there is no flash. The touch screen is resistive, so you can't expect the same response as the high end model phones, but if your not playing games or browsing the internet much, then this will more then suffice.

Quick shipper. Great item as described. Well packed. Great price. Thank you.

Whilst now rather long in the tooth (and I suspect harder to buy) this little Nokia is doing an excellent job. The speaker is nice and loud, you really won't sleep through an alarm and having used smartphones and their onscreen keyboards for so long the little physical dial pad is a breath of fresh air. Two things. Firstly the Asha range is NOT a full "Series 40" phone, so don't expect this to do much more than what it comes with as there a few if any apps written for the little beast. So no Google+ or indeed Skype here. Secondly there appears to be two versions of the Asha 300, one that does have WiFi and one that doesn't. The version shipped to me doesn't have WiFi, it's not a big deal as I've an iPad for smartphone duties and just wanted something to make phone calls on but if you're getting this for a child you might want to track down the WiFi version or they'll burn through their credit far more quickly then you'd imagine (facebooking and such).

Product arrived on time early on the 3rd of February. I purchased the phone as Sim FREE. When I put my SIM card in the phone was restricted so I have returned the product because I couldn't use it. Really disappointed as it was a nice phone.

Oh dear. Nokia are not what they used to be. Felt that I had to review this one, given that I asked to return mine. I bought it originally as a backup handset to have for emergencies or for when I'm abroad to use with my foreign country SIM. The touch screen on the Nokia is appalling and often meant I pressed the wrong button, sometimes too hard, but the most disappointing aspect was the SIM card holder and the battery compartment. Very flimsy plastic, with the SIM card falling out of the socket which meant my phone kept losing the network or gave the error message "SIM card registration failed". Giving this a 2* rating, only because the accessories for it are widely available (at least in my house). I mean, who doesn't have a Nokia charger in the house? Kudos to Amazon though for accepting it to be returned without any questions asked. Sorry Nokia, but you are simply not No.1 any more...

My original mobile phone finally gave up the ghost after approximately 7 years. I didn't want anything glamorous or all singing. I just needed a fairly basic mobile phone. I don't really need the internet either as I have a home pc and can't imagine why on earth I would need the internet when away from home. I saw this model advertised on various sites and then looked on Amazon. It wasn't expensive and I felt it would be adequate for my needs. This supplier had good reviews so I decided to go with them. I wasn't disappointed. I was given a delivery date of approximately 7 days after receipt of order. In fact the phone arrived within 48 hours. It's a typical Nokia, simple to use and understand. I would recommend this supplier to anyone.

Small and reliable, it does what a phone should do and it does it well. The rest - email, social media, Internet browsing - can be done on a tablet at home. It would be good if Nokia continued its production.

Cercavo uno smartphone con tastiera molto semplice da dare a mio marito che é un principiante: lui ha un piano telefonico con 2 giga al mese, e volevo che potesse sfruttarlo come modem per navigare in INTERNET col computer. In più riesce a telefonare e mandare messaggi senza problemi. Sono molto soddisfatta, visto anche il prezzo contenuto.

Era un telefono para regalar a una persona mayor y buscaba la opcion de teclado y con una camara decente. Cumple todas los requisitos que le pedia. El envio perfecto, ya que venia del Reino Unido y me mandaron el conversor de corriente.

per il primo anno ha funzionato bene, sensibilità del touch screen adeguata per un touch resistivo

Handy gebraucht gekauft. Erster Eindruck ganz ok. Aber dann. Englisches ladekabel. War erstmal nicht so schlimm. Hatte noch ein altes Nokia ladekabel. Aber das Handy war kaputt. Habe es nicht mehr zurück geschickt, da es mir zu umständlich war und ich schon ewig drauf warten musste. Da habe ich dann halt mit Rosinen gehandelt!!!!
