I got it because i needed a replacement phone if I went out of Verizon's area by chance. But i loved it so much i kept it for other stuff as well, I dropped it once out of the car, a lot on the street, and got it wet once, it ended up the screen cracked because of a hard fall that hit the screen just right. I tried the 2610 after that, but finished it off, the c168i made it almost 2 years, and the 2610 lasted about 5 months. have iphone and razr v3m now</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=38016#review38016 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=38016#review38016 Wed, 29 Sep 2010 06:58:51 GMT <p><i>Chillinpape submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Does what it does and did what it did</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=32484#review32484 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=32484#review32484 Wed, 31 Dec 2008 16:27:17 GMT <p><i>Niharumari submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>For someone who wants a crummy phone, like a younger kid, then this is pretty good. The fact that you have to lock the phone is a pain in the neck. Once, I didn't lock it and ended up spending almost $7 when the buttons got pushed and I called someone for at least an hour. There was no camera either.<br /><br />The middle button sticks out too much and it's hard to press other buttons and steer clear of the middle button. The internet access is expensive and so is texting. It takes forever to type out a text message on a phone without a QWERTY anyway. The wallpapers were rubbish as well.<br /><br />On the plus side, I liked the fact that I was given many ringtones to pick from rather than only four or five, like my current phone. The ringtones were OK too.<br />Speaker was loud and it wasn't fuzzy. <br /><br />Overall, this phone wasn't worth it to me, who got it on my birthday last year when my parents wanted to see if I could be trusted with a phone. You get what you pay for, which is only like $25 a very, very cheap looking and performing phone.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=31131#review31131 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=31131#review31131 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 15:18:38 GMT <p><i>Drunk submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I have this phone as a prepaid and I love the phone. I love all the cool stuff it does. I love that it works and it helps me be happy. I want to marry it cause I love it so much. The best part is it was only 15 dollars. 15 DOLLARS!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=30624#review30624 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=30624#review30624 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 17:36:49 GMT <p><i>The New ATnT Wireless submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I got mine at Best Buy for 15 bucks, whoot! This phone is really great for a low end phone. The color screen is vibrant and you can download some great wallpapers to make it look snazzy. The ringers are loud, especially the AT&amp;T tune. The installed games are fun, one is a space invaders like game and the other one is a fun one where moles like shoot each other in the sand (weird concept, but lots of fun.) And the third one is a soccer game.<br /><br />You can't download new games, but that's ok.<br /><br />Signal strength is STRONG! Much better than Nokia or Blackberry. Call quality is superb, battery life is very decent.<br /><br />Now the WAP browser is a little slow, but not horrible.<br /><br />Overall, I have to give it a 5 out of 5 because this phone is pretty darn good for a 15 dollar phone. :-)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=29606#review29606 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=29606#review29606 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 22:14:20 GMT <p><i>superman227 submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>The C168i is an okay phone.

Wow. This phone is like being paraplegic. The keys are hard to press accurately. The phone has a life of it's own if you put it in your purse without locking the keypad. to make matters worse att prepaid is about as bad as it gets. The ringtones are a travesty. Since the keypad was making the phone go on the internet by itself i had to disable the settings and activate a blank profile. There were no options to edit the att media net profile however. A common defect associated with walmart phones. I really cant wait for my replacement. Me and a friend are planning on pulling an office space on this pile and its going to be sweet!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=27507#review27507 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=27507#review27507 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 03:41:47 GMT <p><i>lefteyeiu2002 submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Looking for a phone that does what a phone does best?

The ringer is nice and loud, and it's the perfect size. It's easy to use and has enough features to get me through the day.<br /><br />The only complaint I have is that it looks cheap (but in my case, that's good!)</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=27113#review27113 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=27113#review27113 Fri, 04 Jan 2008 01:53:52 GMT <p><i>k2them submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a great general use phone. If you aren't bugged by cheesy ringtones and a lack of a camera, this is the phone for you.<br /><br />It texts and calls just fine. The reception is superb. I got it for $20 from frys about 2 months ago right when they came out. It's been good, but I'm getting tired of it's lack of features.<br /><br />You can't download ringtones from any sites, but it DOES play MIDI's just fine. It also has a composing program that works well for the sheet music folks out there.<br /><br />The ringer is loud... when it's not covered. If it's just sitting in your pant pocket it can get squished and cause the loud speaker that plays the ringer to be covered and muffled so soft that unless it's a dead quiet room you won't be able to hear it.<br /><br />When texting you can sometimes hit the "end" button when going to hit the "3" or the "delete" soft key. This the forces up a prompt if you want to save your message. If you do click yes. Then select "back" from the right soft key to go back to the message with no harm. It's annoying sometimes.<br /><br />Pros:<br />-great reception (at&amp;t cingular)<br />-great volume on ringers<br />-reliable alarm<br />-great microphone<br />-great ear-speaker<br />-small size<br />-easy buttons<br /><br />Cons:<br />-Loud speaker easily covered.<br />-the microphone works... too well sometimes. I've had people ask me to speak louder because they can hear the person sitting 5 feet away from me better than me...<br />-can't get custom ringers(not a con to some)<br />-" feeling ($20 phone, duh)<br />-small buttons (sometimes hit the "end" instead of the "3" when texting)<br /><br />So in review. Great phone for those who want a phone that just works and won't care if it gets damaged 'cuse it costs next to nothing as phones go.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=26869#review26869 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=26869#review26869 Wed, 19 Dec 2007 22:17:51 GMT <p><i>OrganicMilkLatte submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Very good call quality, nice thin phone, very easy to use.

You are no longer able to get it from AT&amp;T's website. This phone is going out fast and there's a reason: it's a good phone at a good price.<br /><br />The screen is beautiful, the size of the phone is great for people with bear claw hands like myself, and the buttons are easy to push. This phone pulls in strong signal, and I even have signal in places where I didn't have it with my prior handset (same carrier)<br /><br />The ringer is LOUD and the volume is ok, could be louder, but it will work. Unfortunately you cannot download games or real tones, only polytones and wallpapers. But hey, I don't play games anyways, so who cares, right?!<br /><br />Overall rating is excellent. It has a nice sleek design, and it is thin, it doesn't make your pocket stand out. Hey, for 19 dollars I have a phone that I will use for two years!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=26728#review26728 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=26728#review26728 Tue, 11 Dec 2007 21:04:51 GMT <p><i>looserofphones submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I loose phones.

Small and very light the phone has an unbelievable loud ring; watch out! The phone volume is a little soft and a little too much base for me but that is slight. The only down side to the phone is the display goes black after a set time; 40 sec. max and pressing a key will activate that function ( I always press "5" and Del back to the home screen. I am a very heavy user and go through phones very fast! The best throwaway phone ever produced to date. If you want a talk only phone and NOTHING else than the Motorola C139 is best for you $15!</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=25126#review25126 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=1257&r=25126#review25126 Tue, 11 Sep 2007 20:21:16 GMT <p><i>Archer6 submitted this review of the Motorola C168i:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Pros: Inexpensive, nice looking, great call quality and reception. Long battery life, good build quality, nice keys &amp; nav pad. Very clear and easy to read display.<br /><br />Cons: None<br /><br />I paid $29.99 for this phone at Radio Shack, which included $10.00 of airtime, so the actual price of the phone was only $19.99! <br /><br />While it's sold as an AT&amp;T Go Phone (prepaid)it will also work with the sim out of my expensive high end Samsung phone. I bought it to use as a casual inexpensive phone when out hiking on the weekends, or at other times when I'd rather leave my expensive phone home. This is a great no worries solution for those times when you want to carry a phone, but not have to worry about damaging, or losing it. <br /><br />I'm on AT&amp;T and the reception is very good, as is the volume and call clarity. Everything one could ask for in a phone thats inexpensive, thin, light and very easy to carry. It has good keys, the nav pad does it's job nicely and the CSTN display is very clear and colorful. It's very thin at only 14mm and very easy to fit in your pocket. The battery life is exceptional, it recharges quickly and has a very nice fit and finish.<br /><br />If you want a good basic phone or a great spare phone, this one is it. I could not be happier.</p> <p><i>(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)</i></p> http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/p_forum.php?ff=1257
