I bought this phone on contract which started as a very good deal for the price, but as time went on the phone gradually showed signs of poor quality. I discovered the battery eventually became bad and had only 24 hour life span. Another problem was the fact that having all the features like camera and sound recorder, it would be helpful to have bluetooth or infrared to send to mates, but the closest you can get to that is a USB connection, or send as MMS.
The Motorola C975 is a well built phone though with all the basic features working appropriately and being fairly easy to use once you learnt it. Not a bad phone for the money. Just be warey of poor battery life. Also has 3G feature and is good for video calling.
