> T310 worths the extra 30$?
Bookmark topic
I have the possibility of buying a T310 for 210$ while a T300 with a camera is 180$. Can anyone tell me if the t310 worths the extra money? the t310 has no cammera attached and that would b a disadvantage. As i was reading in here, the diff'rence between the 2 is insignifiant.I am interested in the better one regarding the SW speed and the manufacturing quality.
PS: And i wanna know the last updated software version for the both of them.

I feel the T310 is built slightly better and seems to have corrected what I feel are shortcomings of the T300...
T300 - smooth plastic front that needs wiping every two nanoseconds to get rid of finger prints, and scratches so easily.
T310 - smooth plastic restricted to the screen area, other parts use standard ABS scratch resistant plastic.
T300 - slider and joystick too easy to move. When answering a call I often accidentally move the slider and hang up the call or move the joystick and answer the call before the phone is even out of my pocket.
T310 - slider size reduced and flush to the surface of the phone. It might be a problem if you use the slider to shift letters though... the joystick is also changed, but I don't know if it works differently.
T300 - creaking covers, but this might be because my T300 was used, and the previous owner could've tried to remove the cover by forcing the edges.
T310 - no creaking
T300 - small option and clear keys are harder to press
T310 - buttons are all equal sized
However, I feel the slanted edges of the T310 is harder to hold when talking, but I haven't use the T310 extensively enough yet to feel a difference. I might be getting a T310 next week then I can compare it side by side with my T300. (Currently trying to decide whether to get the T310 or get a Nokia 6610.)
Sorry for the long post.
P.S. What currency? Here in southeast Asia I can get the T310 for about $210 USD with the camera. My T300 was bought last month for $175 USD used, without camera.

The T310 is supposed to be faster operating software. Improved Polyphonic Ringtones (32). Data Capable extending the use of RS232/USB Cables.

Sorry, I don't own the T310 yet, so I can't say how fast the software is. Will most likely buy the T310 (over the Nokia 6610) before the weekend...
BTW, 32 polyphonic is really just hype. I have a Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII which is the de facto standard for musicians, and that only has 24 polyphony.

32 voice polyphone is a hype for music, but maybe required for games???
Quality of the wavetable instruments, and timbre control is more important in my books. I have a T300, and although a little quiet, its music QUALITY is by far the best I have seen on a phone, especially one so "cheap". It even beats my P800 by a very long shot. (I have a Yamaha PSR290keyboard, so i am comparing it with a decent Synth!). I can only assume the T310 shoudl be louder, and maybe more clearer.
I dunno about the software versions, but from what i hear they have achieve parity. But rememeber if you get a T300 u may end up with older software, forcing u to get it updated, whereas with a T310 will have the latest possible (being a newer phone), adn there is a couple of improvements on newr software (Slightly more prominent SMS alerts, slightly faster menus)
Its your call.

Agreed on the musical quality. I have MIDI tunes that are designed on the Sound Canvas and never sounds good anywhere else sound perfectly fine on the T300. I suspect that Sony Ericsson might have licensed samples from Roland, but the polyphonic whitepaper doesn't mention anything.

I bought the T310 (brand new) from Orange Hong Kong for US$193 without camera. The T310 looks not as thick as T300. Lighter too.
BTW, T310 has some minor software bugs, such as wrong battery gauge after restart (bug fix so far is: do not turn the phone off, or fully charge the phone after turning it on). However, I think it is still better than T300.
