Test report and technical data Motorola C230
Motorola C230: Motorola's new mobile phone for beginners
Pros of Motorola C230: efficiency of battery
Cons of Motorola C230: only few features
Motorola C230 is Motorola's brand new model, made especially for beginners. Accordingly simple is the equipment of Motorola C230. Without being primitive, Motorola C230 abandons many playful special features that are not necessary for direct cellular communication.
Motorola C230 is a Dualband device that features, in spite of all simplicity, a color screen with 4.096 different colors.
Weighing only 80 g, Motorola C230 is rather small and handy.
Furthermore, Motorola C230 features tools for the transfer of data, such as GPRS, MMS and a quite new W@P browser.
Besides several games, Motorola C230 provides polyphone ringing tones, which can also be composed manually or - just like logos or wallpapers - downloaded from the internet.
Motorola C230's battery is of a quite good quality. It lasts 240 hours in stand - by mode and offers 4.5 hours of talking time.
Motorola C230 will not do for the demanding user.
But still, an easy-to-use mobile certainly sticks out of the crowd of hyper modern devices, and surely it will not cost as much, either.
