 Motorola C168 is announced in 2005
Design
Having gained fresh wind in its sails over the course of the past year or so, Motorola has certainly made its mark on phone sale hit lists recently, the Motorola C168 is a very slender and compact handset at 46 x 104 x 14 mm and 77 grams. The 4096-color display is dim, not very bright and crisp, but is a far step above the very dim 256-color versions on even the most recent Motorola models.The display resolution 128 x 128 pixel which is standart resolution for more mobile phones.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Motorola handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The C168 is not comfortable for hold in ones hand because it is too wide.A numerical keypad placed below offers appropriately-spaced keys and are pleasantly comfortable in use.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Motorola handsets.The plastic keypad has good placed keys, with the comfortable center keys, make the phone easer to dial.Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes: tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical manner - quite a feat, considering C168's knack for quirky keypads.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
Dual band 900/1800 MHz connectivity isn't all the Motorola C168 has to offer: there's also support for GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as Java MIDP 2.0, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book..
Performance
Audio quality on the C168 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1000 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 9 30 hours talk time or 340 hours standby, which is very good for battery's theoretical capacity.Charge time is about 150 minutes.
Availability
The Motorola C168 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
Motorola's C168 is yet another model in a range of phones from experienced users from Motorola. A new compact design and a reduced sized battery - which avoids rendering a negative impact on battery life - ensures a thin and light phone which is ergonomically comfortable. |
