    I got this phone 4 days back. And its good, The only thing is that Message typing is slow compared to any other handset

    If you type in normal (traditional) way, Then itz fine. No problem

    But if you Switch on iTAP mode (Dictonary mode) Then itz kinda way too SLOW. Apart from that Everything is fine

    FM is fine too, No problem !

    Message counter is missing . Thatz all

    We have everything

    1. Delivery report (a seperate folder for that)

    2. And ability to clear INBOX, OUTBOX, DRAFT and everything at one Go. That option is also there


    ANd one more bad thing is that

    Default wallapapers are BAD ! kinda very bad if you ask me. But if you have GPRS then that shouldn't be a problem !

      it's a good cellphone.if anybody wants to know about the difference this and j230i,all i can say is:
      1.the FM sound quality of j230i is slightly better than c168.
      2.although s'one said that c168 has 4096 display but i think it looks better than 60K j230i.if u don't believe,try 2 change the menu view of j230i with 3x3.oooh,it looks sooo bad.
      3.the sms typing speed of j230 is faster than c168.
      4.the model of c168 is far better than j230i.
      5.i don't have any difficulties using GPRS w/c168 since this phone is already have setup for every provider in my country.w/ j230i we have 2 setup the GPRS first.and i think it's not simple although not to difficult either.
      6.me and my friend agree that the c168 ringtone is better.my favourite are blue tile and rock solo.j230i has standard ringtone just like the SE previous models.
      i think that's all.but the choice is depend on u!

            i have bought it and after all its a big dissapointment for me.motorola says its color display is 65k but its is 4096 color.so i think motorola should stop fooling everyone.its fm is not as good as se j230i.my friend has SE J230i.se is much better than moto.se color display is 65k.

              I have this cell for about 2 months or so, than i decided to sell it coz it was not up to the standard comparing to other cell phones of the same price tag; i was not satisfied wid this set, because:

              1. Sound quality in earpiece is not good as we compare it with other cell phones of the same price e.g Nokia 2300, Sony Ericson J230i, Se k300i, N 1110, N 2600.

              2. Cell information is not available in this cell phone (which tells u the location of the cell where it is being used) i m quoting this coz my network provider (Telenor) is providing this service here in my country.

              3. sms delivery report is absent, not a user friendly phone for a user who had previously using Nokia or Sonyericson phones.

              4. Sound quality of Radio is average, it has good bass.... but depth is missing... if u really want to get this phone for fm than its fm quality is good but only when u change the headphones.... the headphones that comes wid it are of low quality.

              5. The phone is made up of cheap plastic & is not tough as nokia or SE phones.

              6. Very Very bad Display

              Good things:
              1. Gprs speed is good.
              2. battery backup is quite good.
              3. weight & size is also good just 77 grams
              4. Ringing tone sound is loud.
              5. Radio only through headphones (no speaker) & fm signal reception is also poor comparing to other phones.

              After all these good & bad things i finally decided to get rid of it... i sold it after two months.... and now i have decided to go for Sony Ericsson J230i.

              1. J230i has good & large display compare to C168.

              2. Cell information & delivery reports of sms also available.

              3. Fm Radio quality is far better than C168 coz SE is providing the same headphones wid this phone as with SE K750i phone.

              4 Battery backup is very good. 900mAh battery.

              5. sound in earpiece is very good compare to C168.

              6. Very much user friendly ... two options are available... nokia style & Menu style.

                Well does this phone got message counter ? Well in only HUTCH (INDIA) you can know how many messages you have sent. But what about others? they dont have such an option.


                I want to know whether this Phone has message counter or not ? If so where should i view it ?

                          been using the mobile for a week or so and have been more than impressed with the FM quality..also it allows storage of around 600 entries and 250 msgs..which is great. A tad slow at times but for Rs.3000 a good buy

                                its model is good,but it also has weakness such as:
                                1.u only can type sms slowly
                                2.if u put a name in caller group,when that number called,the ringtone doesnt ring just like u've set in ring styles,it only ring MOTOTRAIN.
                                3.it doesn't have speakerphone.

                                    I have my own motorola c168 for 2 months and it performs great when it comes to battery performance.Its so money wise spending and affordable for those who doesnt want spending much of their money...

                                        I got this phone just 2 weeks back. Radio etc is really nice but very poor battery performance. First week battery used to run for 3-4 days. Second week onwards, it is getting drained in hardly one and half days. And I hardly listen to radio at all!!! All prospective buyers, please check battery performance with somebody you know before buying. I am thinking of changing the phone ....
