Reviewer: Chris Duffer - Reigate, UK
Date: 6th Feb 2008
I REALLY want this phone! It looks FANTASTIC.
I saw it paraded with the other Ultra Edition 2 phones, U600 & U700 sliders now available, along with the also so far unreleased U100 candy bar mid to late 2007.
Been keeping my eye on the net & have also noticed it has DISAPPEARED from Samsung website line up! WHERE IS the U300 Samsung? It'd be BONKERS to not release this great handset.
Reviewer: Simon - Wigan, UK
Date: 16th Jan 2008
Really wanted this phone but it seems to be very hard to get hold of. After 2 weeks of waiting for it to arrive I emailed them to ask about the delay & was told that the phone was out of stock & they didn't know when they be getting it in stock. I have cancelled the order & finally given up!
Reviewer: Kaester - UK
Date: 10th Dec 2007
I had been looking for this phone since April this year & have now got it in silver from eBay. It is brand new & I am more than happy with it & it looks much better in the flesh than it does in photos. The complaints on the keypad are unfounded as it took less than a day to get used to the keypad. There is vibrate & ring at the same time on the phone & there is no expandable memory card slot. I have had this phone for two weeks & it is great & all who have seen it love the phone.
Reviewer: Gregory Kemp - South Croydon, UK
Date: 30th Nov 2007
It looks OK to me, it's a bit like the razer & that sold loads, only this is thinner & has a better battery life & camera. The good thing about a flip phone is you can get a big screen & big buttons in a small package. (A must for my big fingers) You can get this phone unlocked contract free at mobile bee for £177.47 & it looks good in blue & gold.
I haven't used this phone or seen it in the shops but it seems ideal for me so it's on my Xmas present list.
If any one is using this phone could you give your review, would like to know if any probs with it.
Reviewer: Alex - Birmingham, UK
Date: 3rd Nov 2007
I spoke to someone in Carphone Warehouse the other day, & she told me that a lot of manufactures are either putting back the release of their products or getting in within the next week due to the release of the iPhone. Someone told me about 2 months ago that it'd be released within the next six weeks, but then it never came.
Reviewer: Soph Swain - Shrewsbury, UK
Date: 29th Oct 2007
I don't have this phone as this phone is ugly! I think it looks awful I mean the front is ugly. I know I am judging a book by its cover but I am just saying if you look at it properly it's horrible. Sorry if I offended anyone in any of this review. By the way I put low scores as for the design, features & usability because I don't actually own this phone & will not own it because of its looks.
Reviewer: Crazy - UK
Date: 25th Oct 2007
Just like you guys I been wanting the Samsung u300. I searched high & low for it. But it seems no 1 is releasing it. Carphone ware house has got a page with the to be announced sign but that is it! There is no indication of it being released in the UK I have no idea why. Maybe a little later on because the u700 has come out I guess the u300 is the last in the ultra edition to b released. I couldn't wait, luckily for me I got the u300 off eBay it, was the only one on the UK site! Got it from Europe & I am telling you it is great! So slick for a decent price too. Not to rub it in LOL Knowing my luck the Samsung u300 will probz b released tomorrow.

Why does it not include card slot for additional memory?
Reviewer: Alexis - UK
Date: 7th Oct 2007
I too am a big fan of Samsung models. I love the U300, good phone.
Reviewer: Godwin - Birgu, Malta
Date: 2nd Oct 2007
I am from Malta I always buy Samsung phones nearly every 6 months, at the moment I have the u600 60% happy with it. I have been asking for the u300 these last 2 months can anybody from Samsung shop dealers give us a hint if this phone is going to be for sale.
Reviewer: Matt - UK
Date: 21st Sep 2007
Why hasn't this phone come out yet? I've been looking for it for weeks.
Reviewer: Sha - UK
Date: 20th Sep 2007
I have this phone. It's great & very light & stylish. If anyone wants to buy it please make me an offer. I will list it on eBay shortly.
Reviewer: Od - Dublin, Ireland

Hi guys, I want this phone but I couldn't find it nowhere. If someone knows please tell me. Thank you guys.
Reviewer: Sean - Bolton, UK

I've checked with Samsung it is available, O2 say it will be released soon but can't say if they will be stocking it don't know about the other networks they are all in the dark, it says a lot about the business there in!
Reviewer: Hannah - Oxfordshire, UK
Date: 27th Aug 2007
Where can you buy this phone in the UK? Will it be possible to do so by September?
Reviewer: Karen - Elgin, UK
Date: 21st Aug 2007
I really want this phone, but it is proving very illusive. So when I looked on the Samsung website for info of a release date, it cannot be found! Using the search the U100, U600 & U700 are all there but the U300 cannot be found. When looking up the Ultra Edition info again there is no mention of the U300. Can anyone throw any light on this? or give me details on where I can get one?
Reviewer: Suzanne Armstrong - Dollar, UK
Date: 14th Aug 2007
I can't seem to source this phone anywhere on the net, or with my current provider. Can anyone help?
Reviewer: Elizabeth Mary - UK
Date: 4th Aug 2007
I need it on t-mobile. Please can anybody give me the address of a shop in London that sells the Samsung U300, thanks. I would be very happy & grateful.
Reviewer: Alex - Birmingham, UK
Date: 1st Aug 2007
I went into the Orange shop yesterday afternoon, & all members of staff in there said they hadn't heard of the handset at all. One member of staff went to ask the manager & he said he had no idea about it, then she checked the system & there was no mention of it. If anybody knows of anywhere I can get one of these on Orange then can you let me know? I'd be very grateful.
Reviewer: Elizabeth Mary - London, UK
Date: 22nd Jul 2007
Anybody know when Samsung U300 is coming out & where you can buy it? Can you please give me the address of the store where its available?
Reviewer: Amy - Caterham, UK
Date: 18th Jul 2007
When does this phone coming out? It's been advertised on the CPW website for ages.
I can't find it anywhere either! I need it on Orange, so if anyone knows where I can get one, let me know please.
Cheers!
Reviewer: James, Other One - UK
Date: 18th Jul 2007
Just to give you the latest on the, went into a CPW in Sheffield, did the same as the other James just to see if it added up, & there it was on the system, he even went round the back to see if he had any in, so it looks like its definitely be in stock in about a week to 2 weeks!
He also let me know that it had failed some network tests, but that's common with new phones, & only postponed the launch to ensure that had coverage across each provider. In any case he said its available now on Orange pay-as-you-go, it seems CPW won't have it on any other networks for a while.
But anyway, it's coming!
Reviewer: James - UK
Date: 14th Jul 2007
I am after this phone as well, seen it listed as coming soon on the car phone warehouse website, went into the store today & asked about it, & the bloke checked on his computer & he said its released 28th July. He told me that today! Can't wait.
Reviewer: James - UK
Date: 11th Jul 2007
Same goes for me, saw it on eBay, but offers weren't great. Have thought about buying it from play.com where it was listed for a while, but it seems it has been recently taken down. So will just have to wait I guess. Thanks again to NEIL for keeping us in the loop!
Reviewer: Gregory - South Croydon, UK
Date: 10th Jul 2007
There must be a problem with this phone, none of the big networks seem to be pushing it. I've seen it on eBay but the contract offered is not for me. The phone with its decent battery life slim design & 3 pix cam is just what I am looking for. If it's not out by mid Aug, it's the O2 cocoon for me.
Reviewer: Ben Swain - London, UK
Date: 8th Jul 2007
Well now that it won't be released I hope they take the time to add a memory slot into it because that's the only weakness in this phone I can think of & it's very off putting for buyers. Hope it will come out as an improved version, fingers crossed.
Oh & thanks for the information, mate. Appreciate it. ;)
Reviewer: Neil - UK
Date: 6th Jul 2007
I pre-ordered one of these phones but have been informed it will not be released onto the market. It has failed some network checks apparently.
Reviewer: Wallaby - UK
Date: 6th Jul 2007
This phone has not been released in the UK yet & is unlikely to be released as per the majority of websites & blogs. None of the networks have any indications of when this will be available.
Reviewer: Nadia - London, UK
Date: 3rd Jul 2007
I can't find it in Orange or any other network providers' shops in London.
Reviewer: Information - UK
Date: 20th Jun 2007
Just to let you know the Samsung U300 is AVAILABLE in the UK as one my mates has just got one from Orange, she is well happy with it & I will tell her to let you all know what she thinks of this phone. Looks a sweet phone to me.
Reviewer: K Singh - Birmingham, UK
Date: 11th Jun 2007
I have been awaiting the release of the phone for a long time simply because of the fantastic design. Can someone please tell me when it will be available in the major UK shops.
Reviewer: Olivia - UK
Date: 6th Jun 2007
When does the U300 come out in UK?
Reviewer: Jonny - Newcastle, UK
Date: 24th May 2007
GREAT PHONE. Easy to use, great features, amazing camera & doesn't look too shabby either. A must have.
Reviewer: Onebadduck - London, UK
Date: 16th May 2007
Great Design. No expandable memory is such a mistake.
Reviewer: Kiz Ram - UK
Date: 4th May 2007
This phone looks good & I use it a lot it's always there for me.
