What about additional memory

Pros: This phone is awesome! The sound and picture quality are excellent. It can function to IM, check email, talk (duh), listen to music, organize your life, etc.

Cons: If you want the full advantage of a music phone you must first purchase a memory card. The problem is, not many stores sell the memory card/sticks that are compatible with the W300i.

I dont know what to do about this phone. I love the look, the features and the quality, however, I live in NYC and often travel via subway and for safety purposes as well as convenience, I want this phone mainly to talk and listen to music. I complet...ely understand that in order to take full advantage of the W300i's MP3 player, additional memory must be purchased in the form of a memory card/stick. The name of this accessory is the Memory Stick Micro M2. PLEASE, dont forget the M2 part. I have spent well over a week in search of this memory card. I have checked at various Best Buy, Circuit City, Staples, Office Max, T-Mobile, Cingular, Verizon, and Sprint Stores. I also checked various local electronic shops. I have yet to find this chip. My only option is online and they are backordered. If you are like me and want to have an MP3 player and phone in one, I would suggest that you wait another month or so until another device is introduced that uses this memory stick because the product is very scarce. All the other Music phones are compatible with another memory card the Memory Card Micro SD or Memory Card Micro SD/Transflash. These are NOT compatible with the W300i. Perhaps, I got the phone for the wrong reason, but hey, why do they make them if we cant use them? Read more Less
