HTC Desire 300 (2013)

Crap phone – The alarm doesn't even work if the ringer is turned down. Useless as a bedside alarm. The camera is awful, blurry and slow. Everything about this phone is slow and simple things like the radio dont even work. It freezes frequently and has no memory. I thought I was upgrading from a cheap Huawei. But this phone is crap. My husband bought a 50dollar no name and it outperforms this useless thing in every way. Will never buy a HTC again!

Very Cheap Phone – Lucky I bought this phone for only $74 on sale at Big W because it is probably the worst HTC I have used. It freezes constantly and crashes out of applications and then my screen is blank and all you can see is the background. The internal memory only holds 2G and this is not much for large documents and pictures so whenever I need to update an app it always says "Error - insufficient space to perform download". I went and got a 2G SD card and that didn't even help with more storage because the apps and pictures take up so much room. I can only hold about 25 pictures on the phone and I have to keep deleting my messages to add space for updates. Another thing is that the phone always drops out and gives me a stupid E symbol when I'm in a really good reception area and its not my provider because I have been with Optus for years on iPhone and had no issues with it. You cannot buy anything online without mucking about for 10 minutes as it just clicks on the wrong thing and then exits when your type in your details. I'm going back to Apple products.

Slow, slow, slow – Screen layout, phone design and price are great. The processing speed is terrible. If you put this next to the HTC One and access the same apps and surf the same websites it is three times as slow. It is like surfing the net in the nineties. If you are patient and have plenty of time on your hands for loading times this phone will be great. If you are in a bind and need access to information fast just buck up and get an iPhone or HTC One. Design, price Slow processor
