Motorola C350

...time because I loved my Motorola C332 so much I had planned on keeping it a little longer. Well my one year contract had run out, and I think T-Mobile and Motorola thought I might take my business elsewhere. I received a letter from them offering me a new phone, the Motorola C350, for free. I would continue for a further year with my contract with T-Mobile. $19.95 (£11.40) a month for 60 weekday minutes and 500 weekend minutes. Nationwide and roaming ...
...to do this, but the Motorola C350 battery was fully charged in no time at all. To switch on press the red telephone key on the left side. Hold it for a couple of seconds. Then the M comes on. The screen has the signal strength in the left top corner. Right hand the battery level. If I had any messages they would show between these. There are 2 different ones, for text and voice. In the middle of the screen is the time of day, T-Mobile, and at the ...

Review of Motorola C350

...so when I found the Motorola C350 on sale, I thought I'd go for it. New mobile, yay! ...That feeling soon wore off. Initial thoughts were that I finally got a phone with polyphone ringtones and colour display. The second feeling, after having played with it to see all the features and how they worked (and consulted the manual because there HAS to be a certain feature on it, but you just can't find it - only to have the manual tell you it doesn't ...
...the things I expected the Motorola to have - which it didn't, and which is why I don't like it. I mean, it's not as if I was expecting a phone with WAP/GPRS and got one without (the C350 does have WAP/GPRS if I'm not mistaken, but I've never used that feature), I was just expecting some very basic, simple functions, which it didn't have! Not even a proper money exchange rate feature in the calculator! Goodness sake, my phone from 2000 had that, and ...

Review of Motorola C350

...owned anything other than a motorola (assuming all motorola's are the sameish) will be satisfied by it. The main two problems I have with it are: battery life SMS The manufacturers claim a standby life of 300 hours. Absolute rubbish. I get 2 days out of mine if I'm lucky, and it really really bugs me. I cannot get used to having to plug my phone in every single night. If you make a call it's even worse, the battery monitor display will go from ...
...Which is another irritating thing, the battery icon only has 3 bars, unlike the more useful 5 on a nokia. When sending texts, I at first had great difficulty in figuring it out. The predictive text is wierd and the buttons are a horrible shape and size for texting. Over time as I got used to the phone, a few of the texting problems worked themselves out, but in general, I hate texting now and don't do it unless I have to. However, gripes aside, ...

Review of Motorola C350

I received the Motorola C350 as a Christmas present. Therefore, I did not choose this myself. I’ve only had it a few days, but I’ve been fiddling around with it for quite a few hours (does that sound dodgy?) and have a fairly good idea of how good it is. And after a while, I began to realise that the C350 is not very good. There are reasons, and I may decide to return the phone in the near future. Looks This is where the problems begin. It’s a ...
...The main problem with the Motorola C350 is that it came out before the ‘next gen’ phones, thinking it was clever, but a few months down the line it was outstripped by phones that cost the same or a little more than it. The graphics, sound, screen and buttons fall below expectations and are the main reasons that I don’t recommend the C350: there’s better out there. ...

Review of Motorola C350

I bought my motorola 2 or 3 months ago. The main reason being that the phone is free on contract. Before this phone I had the Samsung A300 for a year and found it to be one of the worst phones I have owned with awful battery life and a very uncomfortable design. The c350 is a very compact phone measuring 44 x 98 x 19 mm. It is also very light making it comfortable to carry around in your pocket (unlike the new video phones which are the size and ...
...limited but advanced array of features including polyphonic ring tones, java games, gprs, and a colour screen. The phone is easy to use and menu navigation is controlled by up and down keys. Sending a text using the c350 is relatively easy. You just select new message from the messages menu and then enter the text. You can either use the entry method that involves clicking a key until you reach the desired letter or you can use the predictive text. ...

Review of Motorola C350

...my Nokia 3330 to this Motorola c350 as I wanted a nice colour phone that wasn't too expensive and heavy. I purchased it for £59.99 from Index Catalogue sometime near christmas which I thought was a good price. The main thing was that it looked really good for it's £60 price tag. It comes with a great array of features such as colour screen, games (Moto GP, Astromash and Snood 21), GPRS and polyphonic ringtones. I thought it had Bluetooth as well ...
...very long lasting. The Motorola c350 also has predictive text input as well but that is the one thing I don't like about this phone. But don't let me put you off, its just me I've never like predictive texting because for some reason it just takes me ages to write a message. But if your good with predictive text then this will be a great benefit. The tarrif that I got with the phone was 'Virgin Mobile'. I like this tarrif very much. It offers 15p ...

Review of Motorola C350

A short while ago I wanted to change my phone, I had had the previous one for around a year and a half and fancied a change. Ordinarily, I am a bit of a gadget freak, but when it comes to Mobile Phones, all I want is a phone that goes 'ring ring' and that I can make phone calls on. The C350 suits me down to the ground. This telephone comes without an integrated camera or video or tea making equipment that seems to be all the rage at the moment. ...
...as it is still capable of doing most other things that a modern mobile phone can do. Somewhere in the region of 25 Polyphonic ring tones are available on the telephone, and there is a feature that allows you to compose and edit ring tones yourself if you so wish. The C350 also comes with voice activated dialing, which is incredibly easy to set up. The disadvantage with voice activated dialing is that you have to store the numbers to the telephone ...

Review of Motorola C350

Normally comes in a silver metallic housing, but other housings can be bought from all good mobile phone retailers. I bought my C350 on Vodafone. When you register with Vodafone they will give you £1 calling credit if you are on Pay as you Talk. A first charge of your Motorola battery should be ...
...can be downloaded from the Motorola website at www.hellomoto.com The battery life is not very long. It states that it has a 250 hour stand by time, well its less than that, using the menus on the phone takes at lot of battery life out. Very easy to navigate around the menus. Messages - this is where obviously messages are sent and received. Its basically your own "message centre". This is also where voice messages can be retrieved as well. Speed ...

Review of Motorola C350

This mobile phone is reasonably cheap considering how much it does (I paid about £60 from Comet). It’s very small and light, which means it is very portable and easily fits into a pocket, but I personally find that this also means that I am prone to losing it! The buttons are also very small and I’m always accidently pressing the wrong key, and the red ‘cancel’ key is very close to the ‘1’ (and space/punctuation) key: I’ve lost count of how many ...
...middle of typing a text message, which results in it being completely wiped – this can be extremely irritating! The predictive text facility is also really not very user-friendly; you have to press ‘enter’ after each word (even if it is correct first time), making the composition of text messages slow and even more laborious. It has a colour screen and some nice backgrounds and screensavers (I particularly like the frog one!), and you are able to ...

Review of Motorola C350

I purchased this phone after believing the TV adverts, I liked the idea of a cheap phone, with poly ringtones, wallpapers and colour games, this seemed idea for me. I headed off to virgin and picked up my phone. Why did I bother? First the phone looks the part, nice and small, shiny silver, even easy to use. but that's about it on the plus sides. Ringtones: Don't have this phone in a pocket or expect to hear someone call you if your in anywhere ...
...so quiet anyone with hearing problems would never receive a call. there are a good selection of tones pre loaded and its easy to download others (when the WAP is working) Speed: Talk about slow, you press a button and it takes ages to respond mainly when trying to read or send text's, expect to wait up to 6 seconds for a command to be executed. I like the predicable txt that is the only plus side of the txt. Games: Hahahaha, well you get demo versions ...

Review of Motorola C350

...had to refer to the Motorola webpage to solve that minor mystery. (You press the ^ arrow key, for anyone who's stumped)! The most annoying thing is, if you accidently press the red "off" key when you're typing in a text message, it completely wipes the message you were making and takes you back to the main screen. With the keys being all squished together on the keypad, (and I have quite slim fingers!) it's very easily done. There's quite a lot ...
...phone for £99 PAYG (Orange), which I think is fantastic value. Apart from the minor niggles, I'm very happy with my new mobile phone. I just hope Motorola release those new fascias soon, there hardly seems to be any accessories available for the C350 at the time of writing.. ...

Review of Motorola C350

...Starting with the basics, the Motorola is compact and attractively styled. I do, however, believe the keys could have been better designed - they're too small and fiddly for someone with medium to large hands. The screen is crisp and clear, with vibrant colours, very nice for using WAP sites. The menu system is well designed, quite intuitive, and customizable if you don't like where things are. Overall on aesthetics and usability, a definite thumbs ...
...calls are crisp and clear. On the downside the speaker could do with a greater maximum volume, especially for the ringtones, I've missed a few calls because of the low volume. The vibration option helps, although this too isn't as powerful as some phones, providing you have the phone in close proximity. The supplied ringtones are fairly bland, but you can download new ones. mix them, or compose your own. Text messaging is well supported, with predictive ...

Review of Motorola C350

As a new phone(my old one broke) this phone attracted me because of 1)price 2)size 3) colour screen.I found that of its aesthetic and novelty features very good, but some of it's more practical functions were less pleasing.This is in comparison to my old phone, an alcatel(virgin mobile). Some areas i found particularly displeasing include: *Battery life. The standby time is around 2-3days, which I find to be a relatively short period. *Signal.I ...

Only up to around 20 messages are able to be stored, and when around 15 messages ar in the inbox, an irritating flashing envelope appears. *The instruction manual.This is ridiculously large,& complicated, I have had the phone for a while now,&there are still many features I cannot understand/features advertised in the manual I cannot find on the actuall phone. On the other hand, more pleasing features include: *Easy to use ...

...never had to replace a Motorola because of fault. I've upgraded many Motorolas but never replaced one due to faulty phone. Unlike Nokia. I liked Nokia, but took the plunge into other manufacturers when my Nokia decided not to work because i dropped it from a height of 3 foot onto a cusion (turns out they use internal ceramic arials and that's why the phone works, but lose signal)...and i'm glad i went to Motorola.

The screen has 4,096 colours, a screen resolution of 96X95 pixels and contains 3 lines of text. It does come with polyphonic ringtones, more than enough to choose from, but sadly it has only 16-tones polyphony, which can make it hard to hear in crowded or busy places. The reception ...

Ok, let's view the main menu items and phone's features. Phonebook can store ...
