Sony Ericsson’s R306

Sony Ericsson’s R306 has the curious feature of submission a full stereo AM and FM radio. With devoted exterior controls, as well as RDS (Radio Data System) and Track ID, the R306 is evidently about listen to radio while you're on the go.

In spite of being an entry-level telephone at the lower end of the price gamut, the clamshell R306 handset is both solid and stylish. Construct quality feels outstanding and the flip apparatus — while aggravating to open with one hand — is strong and brawny, with no signs of droopiness in the hinge. The R306’s design lends itself to radio listening, as a small external display is accompany by devoted radio controls, counting three preset station buttons. The weighty, mirror-style finish neighboring these buttons attract plenty of fingerprints, but it complements the matte black covering quite nicely.

Flip open, the R306 reveals a bigheartedly spaced keypad possessing flat, round keys. These buttons have need of a slightly firmer press than we’re used to, but they offer reasonable tactility and are comfortable. The rest of the controls are straightforward, with the grunt of the operations performed by the five-way navigational pad and two selection buttons. Unfortunately, both the external and internal displays don’t fare well when faced with direct sunlight — we found the screen difficult to see in this situation.

The R306’s radio features RDS (Radio Data System), data that is transmitted along with the audio information on a radio indication. In other markets, RDS can display information like track title and artist and the program type being transmit, but these services aren’t available in Australia. Only the station name (e.g. 2DAYFM) is displayed, appearing instead of the frequency. The radio offers 20 presets (for both FM and AM). You can naturally listen with the phone closed thanks to the put on show and preset buttons on the exterior of the unit.
