I dont think there is need for a Z530...what will u do with a Memory Stick slot with out a Megapixel cam...and it makes mockery of Z520...personally i feel w300 is enough and they should scrap out Z530 |

For a midrange phone anno 2006, VGA camera is bad bad bad.
The rest of the phone is pretty good.

Are SE confused as to what connector it has? In the press release it says the W300i and Z530i has Fastport connector but here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/s[....]4_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4&pid=10012
says the Z530i and W300i work with thre HPR-20 which uses the olld connector. The HPR-20 is listed on the Z530i page.

Yeah i noticed that aswell, also some accessories that use the fast port only list certain models and miss out others which do use the fastport. For example i was going to get a flash to connect onto my Z520i but the phone is not listed as compatible.

Love it! Through and through.
I'm not an active camera user so I couldn't give a stuff about a VGA cam.  Looks better than the proto and i'm probably the only one not whining that that looked horrible either
I'd be pretty surprised if this wasn't using the fastport though,  's web people seem a little screwy on showing which products are compatible at times though

very nice monochrome display...memory slot..and wow! Black stereo headphones!
Will keep my w550i. I don't want to go back to VGA. I'll just save up for a W810 or W900  But it's good that SE introduces this low midend Walkman phone.

I guess if this phone had a 176*220 screen and a 1.3 mp camera it would outcalss the w550 which is totally not the point of this model |

w300 looks good but as usual refuse to release a hi-end clamshell.
It would have been nice if they had released a clamshell that atleast was as good as w800 specs. But when they do it's old and can nolonger be called hi-end since its last years candybar specs.
I have to come in term with the fact never gonna release hi-end clamshell and try to get used to candybars again. :/

Hi-end clamshell of SE is bad idea because historically none of SE clamshell hit as best seller phones unlike its candybar.
Also, the price of clamshell usually higher than the candybar in same specification/features.
If SE release hi-end clamshell then the sales is not good the price will drop early and it's not good at all.
I know in my country the sales of Z520 and Z300 are not so good and their price were drop not so long after the released date.
But I have an optimistic in W300 sales because of its Walkman and external memory expansion capabilities.

imho haven't released 1 hi-end clamshell
the ones coming closes have been as i said based on lastyears candybar.
so how they know they won't sell is a mystery.
think of w900 internals in a slim clamshell as moto v3i, v3x or lg u880 and simular. That would be a sales hit im sure.
Alot of ppl like v3i's look but hate their UI and camera etc.
Anyway sorry. This is starting to not fit in this thread, w300 looks good also just a disapointment they didnt make a hi-end version.

Why Eldar at mobile-review said that W300 and Z530 has a 1.3 Megapixel camera?
