Sony Ericsson R306 Specifications and Price. The annoying navigation key, laggy messaging interface and fuzzy radio reception don’t make R306 a very good phone, even at this economical price. Sony Ericsson’s R306 is a cheap handset equipped with an AM/FM radio. The R306 resembles a radio when It is and held horizontally. Speakers on the left and right are separated by a silver panel that integrates a monochrome display. This LCD shows incoming calls, radio stations and the clock. Beneath it are three preset buttons for quick access to stations as well as up and down keys for scrolling through channels.
It has large buttons and they sedate colors and easy contacts to the talk on 2UE. It looks like a perfect fit for the blue-rinse brigade and it’s not daggy enough to embarrass you when you pull it out of a pocket.
Flick the phone open and you will see more silver and grey on the keypad. The circular number keys are well-spaced, and their raised silver ridges make it easy to see the difference between each button by the way the keypad feels. The other keys are not so user-friendly. But the selection key at the center of the menu navigation button is troublesome due to its tiny size and the fact that it’s flush with the surrounding surfaces.
