The sony cm m 3300 comes in a two-tone colour scheme, with Black on the front and back and a silver stripe running down the side. It is a handsome phone in an understated way. It is rather thick though, compared to phones today.
At 20.5 mm thickness, it bulges out of the pockets and will be a bit of a squeeze in tight jeans. Just to highlight, the Nokia 6300 is around 10.8mm in thickness. However, you can get the K550i with 14mm thickness if you want a slightly slimmer phone. One key advantage the K750i holds over the K550i is the fact that it has a very good keypad. Nice and with a good white back lighting, the K750i’s keypad definitely rates above average.
Predominantly made of plastic, the sony cm m 3300 still feels quite robust in the hand. However, with 3 years of hard use, it now has some squeaks coming from the body shell. The power, volume and camera shutter button are also of good quality and easy to press, but the chrome finish on the camera shutter button got worn out after a year of use.
Sony Ericsson’s joysticks elicit a love it or hate it emotion. Unlike the 4 way D-Pad which we are familiar with, Sony Ericsson decided to equip its phones with 4-directional Joysticks. Now, they have a great feel and are very comfortable to use, especially when scrolling through menus... just one problem, they accumulate dust under the surface and can get stuck after some usage. You have to ensure that you clean the surface of the joystick at least once a fortnight.
