This is another very impressive entry from Samsung, suited to those on a budget who want a solid phone without all the bells and whistles.

The W700i is an excellent Walkman phone with a number of good features. It is also great value for money.

At this price, the U300 offers excellent value. It won't blow you away but it's a solid, entry level 3G handset that should suit many users.
