I got this phone after a lot of research and is one of the best phones in its price segment. the radio is excellent and talking about the headphones they are good too. For the price like that, the other competing phones the one from Nokia and samsung having the same features are much costly and less stylish. the only problem is with regards to downloads form motorola website for the ringtones and wallpapers as they charge a wooping Rs.10 INR which is too much if you are a company supporting the product. although sony ericson has phones which are a bit costly to this but the memory on sony phones is only 12 mb and that means its of no use and again no radio, there is a camera but having a VGA camera doesnt make any sense.
Bottom lines the phone is excellent coz has all the important features that a normal users wants.
Talk, Listen, enjoy radio.

Motorola has raised the bar on the most basic entry level phones cos this mobile phone boast 3 features that are a bonus in the budget range of phones: it has a built-in FM radio, WAP and rather long battery life (over 9 hrs talktime). Retails at $128 without tie-up with telco.

Ok, i dont know if anybody is still reading this, but i may be able to answer a few questions and concerns posted above. I do a bit of work with Motorola mobile (cell) phones in terms of modifications.
[abhilash]: The small symbols you see beside the battery meter, which is usually a yellow bell with squiggly lines around it or with a noise effect on one side, means that it is on the "Ring and Vibrate" setting for the first or the "Loud" profile. This changes the effects for the ring styles of the phone.
[hasan]: Yes, it has a built-in loudspeaker
[sri]: The FM reception is OK, although the squality seems to differ region to region. At home in NorthWest Australia it works great. While at work on a mine site it doesnt work too well however. My only problem with the FM radio is the fact that you cannot run it on the loudspeaker while playing the radio. That was a feature i liked on the Nokia phones.
[madhu]: Is your phone set up to use MMS and WAP settings? That may be why you cannot send or receive the MMS section of the message. Motorola phones receive MMS different to Nokia and retrieve the attached file seperately to the rest. Saves time and money in most cases. Contact your Service Provider about getting the settings sent to your phone.
There are sites around that assist in troubleshooting and if you are interested, modifying, your Motorola phone. Just use Google. Its the most vauable tool that you could ever come across.
Now, my opinion of the C186 is that is a very nice looking phone. Thats why i purchased it (I have a V3 RAZR and seperate CDMA phone for work as well). I found that the software is too basic, and they could have put more on it to make the functionality better on the phone. If the software was from the new generation of phones instead of old looking and feeling software then id be more impressed with the phone. Then again, i paid AU$99 for a brand new released phone, so i suppose i dont have too far to complain.

If you're getting bored with features-rich in large-size cell phone, I'd recommend the C168.
- light weight & small, but not too small
- long battery life (1000 mAh)
- good voice quality + lound ringing tone
- reasonable price
Back to basic!

This is one of the good models with a reasonable price tag. Voice clarity is extremely good. The microphone captures even tiny sounds and the other end users can listen to them. Less weight, easy to handle. FM Radio are acts just as walkman. Suggest any one to buy this. 600 phone book memory is fantastic. iTap for messages works very well. (I baught it for 3800 + 1% tax = Rs.3838/-) Color, Polyphonic, Radio, iTap, 600 memory...are the best features to choose this model.

Hello friends, it's not worth to buy this phone. I paid Rs.3700. Keys are hard to press. Not a userfriendly software. Nokia is the best. But FM radio reception and sound quality is good.

Ive been facing a problem with this cell fr some time. When i make a call, the ring volume is extremely low despite the volume being on the maximum. This happens only sometimes though. And ive tested this out wid 2 different C168s with different SIMS and it gives the same problem. Can anyone tell me how i can solve this problem?...is it a manufacturing fault?

I saw an ad of Motorola in Hindustan Times today, ie 25-3-2006. Looked up Motorola website for more information, but was shocked to find only an old bit of information, before it was even launched! It shakes my confidence and probably I will not buy it. Poor marketing, I would say as a consumer. Moreover, the reviews I read at this site suggest that the radio FM reception is poor.

What about FM RECEPTION? What about other features?
