Motorola c650 Review

This Motorola c650 review is based on a technical analysis of the cell phone's technical specifications, it doesn't constitute an actual hands-on review. It outlines the best and weakest sides of the Motorola c650. The strongest points are listed with a (+) sign while the weakest points have a (-) sign before them. This Motorola c650 analysis is generated automatically based on our specifications for that phone and since manufacturers do not always detail technical specifications clearly, some information may be missing.

# (+) Weight and Size: The Motorola c650 weighs only 3.23. This is relatively lighter than average and should make this phone comfortable to carry around
# (+) Camera: It has a camera (640 x 480), which is not necessary yet may be handy and make your experience better.
# (+) Phone Book: It can store 1000 phone book entries
# (+) Built-in Speakerphone: It includes a built-in speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations where you need to use your hands while talking.
# (+) Battery Performance: It has a maximum rated standby time of 215 hours and a talk time of 350 minutes, which is above average and should be sufficient for most users.
# (+) Color Display: The color display's color mode is 65,000 and its resolution is 128 x 128. A color display is useful when browsing the wireless web or viewing pictures and, of course, the larger it is, the better the experience and, the more colors, the better your pictures will look.
# (-) Analog Roaming: It doesn't support analog roaming. Analog is the older North-American cellular technology, however North-American networks are increasingly converting to large digital-only networks, which makes analog a not-so-useful feature (check coverage maps for your area to discriminate on that aspect).
# (-) Bluetooth: It is not Bluetooth-enabled. Bluetooth is not really necessary but may be handy if you want to use a wireless headset or exchange data with your (Bluetooth-enabled) laptop, for instance.
# (-) Infrared: It doesn't feature an infrared port. Infrared is convenient, especially if you own a laptop (most laptops are infrared equipped), you can then use your computer to transfer contacts, ringtones or pictures (if the phone supports these functions) to the Motorola c650.
# (+) Text Messaging: It features a special way of typing text, either a full keyboard or some predictive text entry method such as T9 or iTAP. This will be useful if you need to send short messages: it's much faster.
# (-) Voice Note: It doesn't have a voice note recorder. A voice note system is quite useful to make quick notes and reminders while on the road.
# (-) Free Custom Ringtones: . I don't have enough information on this phone to determine if it accepts free ringtones so you may not be able to add free ringtones, you may be forced to use your carrier's paid ringtone service. If that is important for you, many other phones allow you to do it yourself and for free, which makes a difference if your intention is to personalize your phone. To help assess this phone's behavior with ringtones, check out the ringtone compatibility list.
