The signal of C333 is not very good. More ever, with GPRS function, I can not see the date in the display. We can see the greeting and quick dial function in manual book, but there are no these functions in the phone.

    I was forced to join the masses and obtain a cell phone when my local telephone provider decided to start jerking me around, and I haven't had a real telephone for nearly a month. Anyway, my cell phone search ended with the C333. Having never had a cell phone before, I had little to compare it to. I will agree with everyone here that the phone looks fantastic, it's compact as hell (I feel like Zoolander!) and fairly straightforward functionally. From my limited experience with cell phones, however, this particular model has the worst reception I've ever experienced. I live in a basement suite and have to put myself into the strangest poses in order to receive a decent signal. The internal antenna does little to boost this reception, and when I looked into a signal booster, I realized that these devices are supposed to be housed in the battery compartment, but as you all now know, the battery is removable only by the manufacturer. That sucks. The only perk is that my network provider will give me a courtesy phone if and when I need the battery replaced (which was included in the extended warranty). I will say, however, that when the signal is strong, the sound is very clear. This just rarely happens.
    Also true is that the battery life on this phone blows. It's deceiving too. The only way I seem to get a full charge on it is if it's turned off, even though the display tells me that the phone is charging while it's on. The battery metre will show that it's full, then when I unplug it, it shows less. Weird. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a phone if it has to be turned off in order to work in the first place, hey? Also, the case is not impermeable, and as a result I'm constantly cleaing hair and dust out of the display. So yah-here's the reader's digest version...

    Pros- design, price (mine was free with a plan from my network provider), functionality.

    Cons- Terrible reception, poor battery performance, the case is not impermeable.

    Also, I'm the wrong person to be reviewing such braindead additions to a telephone as games. I think that anybody who's buying a cell phone because of the games that come with it, probably should look into a little company called Nintendo...

            Hello!
            I'm in a quite big dilemma. I really don't know wich phone to buy.
            The Motorola C333 or the Sony Ericsson T200. I really like the design of the C333, also the SE T200's. I have had a Ericsson A2628, the messaging sucked, it takes a lot of time to compose a SMS, and i'm afraid that the T200 has the same problems. On the other hand iäve read many disappoints with the C333's battery. Can anyone tell me wich phone i should buy, wich is the best investment? I can get the both phones for the same prices, 99$ (990 Sek, i live in sweden).

            I would appreciate your help and thoughts. Sincerely/ Matthew

                My service provider gives me the motorola T191, I think it's a very cool and well-made phone, very reliable, good reception and very useful accesories, but now, I'm wanting to change phone for the brand new (to my country) phone Motorola C333, I really think that is a very beatiful phone, I admit that I choose the phone by the way they look, and this new phone satisfied my desing requirements, but I don't know if I'd change my very reliable T191 for this new good looking phone. T191 it's a very smart phone, just one touch for everything, excellent reception (even If I don't have signal lines, it's sounds) C333 seems to be a very fun phone, but it looks flimsy. I really don't want to break my phone and I want to know if the c333 it better than the T191, in durability issues, if anyone wants to reply me, go ahead, thanks

                    this phone has been very disappointing so far. The games and ring sounds are great however the reception which is the most important thing to me is terrible. My previous phone i bought 3 years ago was noticably better than this phone.

                            Andy, I have T200 and my sister has C333, for one day we changed the phones between as and what I can tell you is that c333 has an very nice design, is smaller and the polyphonic ring tones make it very cool on the other hand T200 has an bigger display and is more easy to read the menu is easier(don't count on this maybe is just my opinion because I use T200), the standby is almost double, you can change the battery if is broken, at c333 you can't on the other way at c333 you can change the case, T200 has an bigger memory-300 numbers, at c333 you must pay to play the games(even if they are nicer) on the T200 you can attach an minicam and radio at c333 you can't, T200 has an better reception and the man with that you are talking with heares you more natural here T200 (128 eur) is almost double like price than c333 (65.3 eur) booth with vat included I have the t200 for 6 months and I am not disappointed with my phone.
