My Latest Mobile Phone…

A Motorola C350

No, this is not the picture of my handset, it’s a picture from the website. The theft of my phone had left me penniless so, somehow after conjuring up around 2000 bucks, I went off to the second hand mobile shop to search for a cheap phone with USB Modem capabilities. What I wanted was a samsung C100 but I couldn’t find that in any of the shops so I decided to settle for a Motorola C350. As I had already used my friend’s handset for a week, I knew that it had a decent modem with USB connectivity. Anyways, I have tried to list the Pros and Cons of this wonderful handset(not the original one but the second hand piece that I have) below.
Pros:-

  1. Decent modem with USB pop port.

Cons:-

  1. Pathetic display with huge dots forming up the tiny screen.
  2. Screen conveys a feeling of depression.
  3. 256 color screen.
  4. Pathetic menus.
  5. Disgusting text entry mechanism.
  6. Extremely bad ringtone quality.
  7. Body looks like the handset fell off a moving vehicle and a few trucks ran over it.
  8. Poor battery life.
  9. Crashes whenever some memory operation is performed.
  10. Lack of profiles.
  11. * key of the keypad broken in 3 places.
  12. Switches off automatically
  13. Vibrator louder than the ringtone.
  14. Maximum 2 lines of text on the screen at a time.
  15. After a message has been typed, you have to press atleast another 6 buttons to send it.
  16. Poor phonebook.
  17. Doesnt support picture messages, sms ringtones.
