Summary: Don't be Fooled...
Review: ...by the cute, tiny size and flattering words of the ad. This phone is terrible. It shuts off mid-conversation, gets no reception in high-traffic areas, and you have to scream into the phone to be heard. The battery is far from long-lasting; I could have a "Charge Complete", unplug from the charger, make one 5-minute conversation, and I'm down to one bar and have to charge it up for another two hours. The ringtones are of poor sound quality, and cannot be heard even on the loudest setting. Vibrate doesn't work well, either.

I got this phone as a supposed "upgrade" of my Cingular plan, and I've been unhappy ever since. This was a terrible investment. Both Motorola and Cingular ought to be ashamed for offering such a loathsome, crappy product.

Summary: thanks for the tip
Review: ...found the link to http://muwap.com here on amazon. Also found that they give you 10% off everything when you type in "amazon" as the coupon code. They have tons of tones for the Moto phones, and with the coupon it's only $9/year. Cheaper than mMode, and much better selection. Thanks, whomever posted this before!

Summary: Cute but not the best
Review: Got this phone for $20, AT&T shipped within 2 days.
- mMode button on base keypad is HORRIBLE. I kept accidentally connecting to the Internet, which was not part of my plan. I got sneaky, went on AT&T's site, and found out how to configure my Internet settings. I set everything wrong. SO when I hit the button it cannot connect. Problem solved. But still a wasted button.
- took me a few days to figure out how to lock keypad. If not, I was calling everyone in my address book from my purse. Opps.
- battery life is very poor, after 2-3 hours talking need to recharge right away
- cannot find replacement battery
- buttons too small for text messaging regularly
- cute design--I've never seen anyone else who has one. Get lots of "cool phone" comments, if you're into that.
- fairly dependable reception. Only a few dead spots, spots that seem consistent with other people's phones.
- generally little interference, although does occur occasionally
- every once in awhile it will have a "reverb" effect, where everything you say is repeated so it sounds like there's 2 of you saying the same thing. Creapy.

I wouldn't get rid of your landline for this one, but it's a fun little phone. Of course, now mine's broken because I dropped it in a river. Oh well. Go figure. Add that to the list: not waterproof. :-)

Summary: worst purchase in the history of the world
Review: honestly theres nothing good about this phone. i bought it cuz it looked cool, but after a week the battery wouldn't last for more than a 10 minute call and even with no calls it wouldn't last a full day. it randomly shut off when i call people. then sim pin or whatever is stupid, u have to enter a code every time u turn the phone on.

Summary: Dodgy Phone
Review: I agree with the other comments made about this phone. Using my phone for mainly texts (thankfully) I was surprised to find that I could not make any phone calls without being automatically
cut-off. The battery lifetime is ridiculous. The size & design of the phone are fine but if you can't get the basics right, what's the point. Motorola - get your finger out and start putting a bit of technological thinking behind the design. For a company making loads of money, you should stop ripping off the punters!

Summary: First time buyer, rethinks Motorola C333
Review: I bought this phone a little over 7 months ago. I thought that the Motorola company was a respectable company to buy from so I invested in the C333. It's actually a little awkward using in the hand - the buttons are located too low. I almost feel like it's slipping out of my hand. I do though enjoy the lighted number keypad. Lately, I've been told that many people can't reach me. The phone doesn't ring so I don't know someone is calling me. I only find out after talking to the irate person in person. I don't know if this is a problem with my service provider or with the phone. But because no one else complains, I have to think that it's the phone. The battery lasts a few days for me, so that is not a problem as is the case with other reviewers of the C333. I think my next phone will be a Nokia.

It has everything.

Summary: cute, but fragile
Review: I got this phone because it was the smallest available -- It fits into any pocket. I have never seen anyone else with it.
You have to use a lock code to keep the buttons from being pressed. The speaker on mine has a volume problem so I have to use the headset all the time - which drains the battery very fast. I like its features and the menus are easy to navigate, but the Calendar/Alarm program is terrible and I never use it. It's very cute but I am going to have to buy a new phone with a working speaker and a better locking system, this one is not convenient as a cell phone should be.
