The Sony Ericsson F305, which is designed to be a gaming phone is the first and (so far) the only phone in the F-Series (where 'F' stands for 'Fun'). The phone flaunts an attractive design and comes with a long list of built-in games along with dedicated gaming keys. The design and the gaming aspect are sure to attract a lot of youngsters. Well then, let us get on with the review and find out if it is worth your money.

this phone is strictly no no for every one. this is the worst phone I ever saw. It hangs regularly, the earphones are pathetic.even basic features like alarm, camera, scheduler,tasks, music player are not at all up to the mark. i wasted my 8000 bucks on it..

obviously it does, dimwit.....i've got over 58 games on me w200i! If there's one thing SE handsets are good for, it's their unmatched support for java apps. these handsets have an unusually high affinity for java apps...infact, they handle them way better than nokia smartfones....

I purchased this set with lot of expectations but it disappointed me BIG time... PROS: 1. Awesome Design. CONS: 1. No option for installing Themes. 2. Downloaded Games are not getting installed. 3. Response to the keys is slow. 4. Less options for shortcut Keys, W200i gives better & more options than this Handset. 5. The 2 buttons above the screen do the same thing, open your camera pictures, nothing else. 6. The function keys can't be set to your wish. It has only been a day since I have started using this phone and I am not at all impressed with this phone.

Well I had downloaded this game from www.get**r.com which was 970kb in size but unfortunately a error msg popped up dat the size of the file is too large... Also when you try to install any app/games via bluetooth it gives an error that the app is not compatible. I had tried to install opera browser...

Well the games & applications are getting installed in this Handset but you need a usb cable for that. You have to connect your Handset in Mass Storage Mode and then transfer the files. Remove the phone from usb mode and proceed with the installation of your files...:) P.S: I tried to install a file sized 900Kb but it didn't install...:( Gave me an error message...

I agree with everything said, however, there is a full screen option to view videos. Press the left or right key when the video is playing to rotate it to landscape mode.
