Motorola phones. Review on Motorola C131

Thanks to all Mouthshut members who have reviewed this product. These reviews came extremely handy to me at a time when I needed it the most.

As most of you know that Im doing my BMS and have loads of projects in hand (though our University exams are at hand), me and a couple of my colleagues are doing this Market Research on Reliance Pre Paid. Inspite of visiting a lot of the Web Worlds, we couldnt catch hold of any Rel Pre Paid Customer.

Thanks to all your views about this product. I am definitly going to include this in my project report.

I too made a similar mistake a year ago by buying a Motorola handset. Im currently using C 330 though I have an Orange connection.

The phone comes with three interchangeable housing shapes (express ons) of three different shapes.

The tones are extremely low, if I'm travelling and have to keep the phone in my pocket, I have to keep it in Vibrator mode.

As compared with the C131, this phone is much better. It has almost 45 polyphonic ringtones, downloadable tones, pictures etc. It has a white display and even the contrast can be adjusted. It has GPRS, Web Browser and a unique composer. It has 3 games the best one being Grand Prix Bike Racing.

The only biggest problem is the battery. Each call of about 10 mins brings the battery down by one bar. A call of half an hour brings the phone in low battery mode. Whats worse than that is that the phone suddenly switches off and on on its own even if I am on a call. All this happens inspite of charging the battery everyday the whole night for about 11 hours.

On the whole its a fairly simple to use phone though I would never recommend Motorola to anyone.
