Sony Ericsson R306 Radio review: Stay tuned


Sony Ericsson R306 Radio is quite unusually set to revolve around one single thing - listening to radio on-the-go. Its built-in radio tuner works in both FM and AM. The lower midrange R306 Radio delivers on other fronts too - it packs a 1.3 megapixel camera plus Bluetooth and USB connectivity. It's compact enough but also offers two surprisingly capable stereo speakers. How's that for a flashback to the time when family life revolved around the radio. The dedicated external radio keys complete the feature set of that nifty little fella. You are welcome to tune in and see what it's like to spend some time with it.

Key features

  • FM/AM radio tuner with RDS and TrackID
  • AM tuner has two modes: 9 kHz (Americas and Japan) and 10 kHz (the rest)
  • Dedicated external radio controls
  • Tri-band GSM support
  • 1.9" 65K-color TFT display of a 128 x 160 pixel resolution
  • Secondary monochrome external display of a 96 x 32 pixel resolution
  • 1.3 megapixel camera
  • 5MB of internal memory
  • Bluetooth
  • USB
  • Radio broadcasts recorder in MP3 format
  • Stereo speakers
  • Optimized design for desktop placing

Sony Ericsson T303 - Small is beautiful


A sexy minimalist slider, Sony Ericsson T303 gives the low-end a new edge with looks and construction well above its rank. Even if not a full-house in terms of skill and style, the basic multimedia coverage and solid feel in hand are well worth it. The FM radio with RDS, MP3 player and the 1.3 megapixel camera make sure the T303 will be kept busy. After all, many will likely find it too sexy for a call-and-text device only. The smooth sliding, the sharp chrome-highlighted exterior and the diminutive size are still the undoubted winners when it comes to the attraction of Sony Ericsson T303. Way beyond any of the features it offers.

Key features

  • Very compact, sturdy build
  • Smooth sliding mechanism
  • FM radio with RDS
  • MP3 player, TrackID music recognition
  • Bluetooth v2.0
  • 1.3 MP camera
  • 1.8" 65K-color TFT display, 128 x 160 pixels
  • 500 phonebook entries, photocall
