Test report and technical data Motorola C350
Compact youthful design for little money:
Motorola C350
Pros of Motorola C350: color screen
Cons of Motorola C350: little memory capacity, few internet functions
And again a new Motorola: Motorola C350!
It seems to be pure insanity; no other manufacturer brings out as many excellent devices as the American company Motorola.
Although Motorola C350 is a mobile phone of the lower price range, it will still convince with averaged good features and a nice efficiency.
Motorola C350 was launched recently in Milan, as typical for Motorola. It was well accepted by the crowd.
Being a rather simple device, Motorola C350 obviously does not include all modern features. Accordingly, the price of Motorola C350 is quite low. So in case of purchasing Motorola C350, one will have to decide between good features for lots of money or average features for little money.
A color screen is by now one of Motorola's standards: Motorola C350 features such a screen with 4,000 colors. This supports all games on Motorola C350 greatly. Unfortunately, the number of games cannot be increased, for Motorola C350 is lacking internet features. Via W@P browser one can download additional polyphone ringing tones, but that's it.
Still, Motorola C350 is small and handy: it measures 100 x 44 x 20 mm and only weighs 83 g.
The efficiency of the battery is convincing. Motorola C350 will last about 215 hours in stand - by mode and allows a talking time of 5 hours.
Messaging is made easy with Motorola C350. The user can expect text input support, chained messages and a chat. It still might be irritating for these who text a lot: there is hardly any space to save messages.
The little memory capacity also affects Motorola C350 phone book: only 100 numbers can be saved. A rather weak detail.
In order to transfer data Motorola C350 is equipped with both an infra red and a USB interface and with a simple W@P browser.
Due to the few features, handling Motorola C350 is really easy. The menu can even be partly rearranged by the user.
There are no complaints about the sound quality of Motorola C350.
All in all, Motorola C350 can be ranked average.
Both, a bigger memory capacity and internet software, are missing.
But if one does not need these features, the functional Motorola C350 will do.
