I was excited because the phone I owned before ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS dropped calls, and I was happy to get a new phone. <br /><br />Fast forward when the screen has an issue (the corner of the screen didnt display) and T-Mobile replaced the phone under my insurance. I got the new phone, which worked for 2 weeks (better then the 1 hour with the first phone but still bad) before the whole screen went out. I got a Samsung after this, It did have good features such as calculator, and the texting guessing which word you typed, the tone composer, all of them were awesome, but this phone had a couple screen issues and THAT'S why I left it. <br /><br />PROS:<br />It had good features, and excellent call quality, and the phone NEVER, NEVER, NEVER dropped calls like my former phone did, so that was good.<br /><br />CONS:<br />THE SCREEN, It went out 2 times</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=28081#review28081 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=28081#review28081 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 18:08:01 GMT <p><i>motoguy75 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was the first phone that I ever bought and I have to say it was an excellent phone. <br /><br />PROS:<br />bar-style phone, simple user interface<br /><br />CONS:<br />battery life was a little short for my taste<br />camera was a little blurry at times</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=20286#review20286 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=20286#review20286 Sun, 03 Dec 2006 05:08:49 GMT <p><i>viejodave submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a phone i never will recomend, not this one and no one of the C series, I've had c331, c333, c650 and all of them died the same way, the speaker doesn't sound more. I think that if this happend with one, ok, but with two the same problem...??<br /><br />I don't recomend it, the display sucks, you just can't see nothing in sunlight, the reception could be better, the keyboard is too small, and the camera take photos not so good. I only liked that this phone has mp3, but no more. One thing else, the function vibe and ring is no available from factory, you should set it by software and is so complicated if you're unexperienced.<br /><br />Think about it before buying this 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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=17883#review17883 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=17883#review17883 Mon, 24 Jul 2006 00:42:58 GMT <p><i>radioxstar submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first cell phone. It has a nice design and small look and it's pretty decent if you don't need great camera quality or cool games. It's pretty boring so you can't really have fun with it. <br /><br />Pros: small nice design, ringtones, very organized (you won't get confused)<br /><br />Cons: picture quality isn't so great though sometime you get nice results, the screen is hard to see in sunlight, battery doesn't last that long, only one free game, the up and down button is kinda annoying, the back is hard to take out. Now every time I drop this phone, everything breaks out like the batter and I have to put it back together.<br /><br />And that's it for the c650. Decent looking phone but it's just okay.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=15797#review15797 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=15797#review15797 Thu, 23 Mar 2006 23:26:42 GMT <p><i>iwaslosingmyself4u submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I was very unhappy with this phone. For the first few days it was cool, it was my first phone. Everything was great. But, then I had had it for about 3 months and it became dysfunctional. So, my solution to that problem, I got the same phone again. I have had it for about 1 year, and in the middle of conversations it will shut-off, or the battery will be full then in 1 minute empty. <br /><br />Pros- Nice design, small size (which also can be problematic), Phone book storage<br /><br />Cons- Short life, weirdo joystick, sucky camera, bad screen display (especially in sunlight), hard to hear out of, breaks VERY easily, shuts-off randomly<br /><br />Now, I am not quite sure if these problems have to do with the life of my phone, but it definitely is annoying. My mother also has a Motorola and is very dissatisfied with it. I wouldn't but another phone from Motorola again.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=14823#review14823 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=14823#review14823 Sat, 28 Jan 2006 14:11:44 GMT <p><i>Drone42 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This phone is really good if you are looking for a cheap reliable phone with good features. Obviously there are a lot of better phones on the market but they cost allot more. This is the best phone on the market for it's price class. I use to own a Nokia 3410 and love nokia's but this phone is just as easy to use. To txt with it is not much different and you will get use to the tiny differences fast. U can plug it into a Pc using a USB cable and by doing so use the phone as a GPRS modem. This is great for when you need internet access on the move. The only problem is the back cover that is hard to get off and it has little memory. I have read other reviews about this phone were they say that you can only store SMS messages on your sim card with this phone. Maybe I have a software upgrade or something because I can store over a 100 sms messages in my phones memory. This is a good choice if you want a cheap phone but still want some nice features compared to other more expensive phones.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=14092#review14092 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=14092#review14092 Tue, 27 Dec 2005 01:31:48 GMT <p><i>deryck121 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Ok this phone is far as good as entry level phone go. First of all this is my first motorola handset, since I'm a Nokia Fan User. anyway before this I have a Nokia 3220 and the differences are biggest, i'm from Panama (Central America) my service provider is Movistar: GSM 850<br /><br />Pros:<br />- The screen is STN passive matrix, not bright nor faster than TFT, showing 65k colors, it show pretty well images considering to be a STN display. Is resolution is 128x128 (is a little small, but after all is a cheap phone, phones with bigger display, here in my country are very expensive)<br />- Loud Spkearphone and Earpiece,I have not problem hearing it in the street, but in a noisy environment such as Disco, it's kinda hard to hear it(Except for the earpiece)<br />- Loud Ringtones: the ringtones sounds pretty loud, but I don't think they are 24chords, 'cause I try using some Nokia 24 chords and the instruments where not sounding, after I set them to 16 chords!, anyway is better to use the mp3 tones which are also loud.<br />- Camera: some photos came really´suprising well, but some others don't, but they're better than Nokia 3220 (since it shows a green color in the corners of the pictures)<br /><br />Cons:<br />- Low memory, mine just came with 2.5 mb, and free 1.4mb, but I erased some of the locked content, and I put 20 images, 20 screensaver, 7 mp3 tones, and 10 midis, and left 1mb of space for Photos (didn't add games, they suck in this screen because they just take 128x96(WxH) pixels and not the 128x128.(because of the service line!!!)<br />- Size of the screen is too smaller for a 128x128, my 3220 was more bigger, even my 3586 has the same size as C650 but a differente resolution (96x65)<br />- Connectivity: it doesn't support bluetooth nor Irda (anyway I don't have this on my pc) but the cable I'm using is the one from my digital camera.<br />- Keypad: is too small for my fingers, and the joystick some times make a wrong choice.<br />- Can't remove that operator logo and date I hate that.I know how but...</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=12668#review12668 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=12668#review12668 Sun, 23 Oct 2005 13:55:22 GMT <p><i>silver0303 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>1</b> (out of 5)</p><p>I just have to say for the first time in my life I actually paid for an upgrade and the t-mobile representative recommended this phone. I wanted a few more features and better reception. I got a headache!!!!Horrible phone and nothing but problems from the start. <br /><br />Pros: Compact. Loud ring tones. <br /><br />Cons: Where do I begin: poor quality picture phone, very grainy, Volume control problems...When I turn up my volume they here me louder instead of me hearing them louder or BEST OF ALL calling someone and you can hear them but they cant hear you, a dealer told me I need to remove the battery and put it back in when this happens BS I didnt pay for a phone that I had to perform maintinence on. The phone has been returned twice to T-mobile only to get the same piece of crap back again. <br /><br />DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS PHONE OR WITH T-MOBILE FOR THAT MATTER. No one seems to want to stand behind thier product because they know it is junk!</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=12489#review12489 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=12489#review12489 Wed, 12 Oct 2005 21:34:36 GMT <p><i>SmarterDanu08 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This was my first cell phone. And I love my c650. The ringtone quality is amazing. A with T-zones. Everything is so simple on it. The phone is sturdy and compact. It fits in my pocket perfectly. But it does lack a few things. The screen gets dirty so fast to where you can't even read what's on the screen. And the case is hard to get off, which meant for the first 6 months i had to live with the dirty screen because i couldn't figure out how to get it off. Also the camera on this phone is one of the worst I have ever seen. I don't even feel like I own a camera phone. The quality is so bad everything is a blur. I haven't taken a picture with it in months (I've only owned it for a year) because it's pointless. Also with the easy ring tone volume change you can't put the phone on ring and vibrate. In order to do that you have to go into the menus and do it the long way. I have liked this phone and has always been good to me. But if picture quality is important to you. And cleaning your screen at least bi-weekly is annoying. This is not the phone for you.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=11891#review11891 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=11891#review11891 Tue, 13 Sep 2005 01:00:38 GMT <p><i>RiceIsAwesome submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Overall, after everything, its an OKAY phone. I received it as a present for Christmas in 2004, from T-Mobile. In the beginning the phone was AWESOME. Better camera than most candy-bar Sony Ericssons, tons of good preloaded ringtones and easy to navigate joystick. But what I didn't like at all was the fact that the screen is virtually INVSISIBLE in the daylight. Especially when living in Florida, that is a major drawback. Also, the front of the phone, when scratched, is ruined forever. The back of the phone is especially hard to remove. Around 6 mos. of having the phone, the joystick was always on the fritz. It worked on/off. Frankly, Motorola joysticks do not work well at all. I much prefer Sony Ericsson joysticks, or better yet, a phone with NO joystick. But now, 9 mos. into the phone, the joystick can only go up. A huge hassle. Luckily, its on a 1-year service. Plan. I'd buy this phone if you are going to use it for a short time period, but for a long term phone, I wouldn't reccomend this phone. I'm looking into a Nokia 6101 as my next 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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=11099#review11099 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=11099#review11099 Sat, 30 Jul 2005 20:15:45 GMT <p><i>armani exchange submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>This is a great phone in its own way! <br />The appereance is really nice, it is small(which is good)....and for its price I think its the best phone ive ever had! and seen!<br /><br />The camera`s resolution is not the best but using it`s features u can get it to work good.

At first glance they appear the same in most product photos, but the difference between the two is vast.<br /><br /><br /><br />STN monitors: <br />Passive matrix:<br /><br />Each subpixel does not have its own transistor. <br />This means that the pixels are switched by row and column, not individually.<br />This results in slow frame updates.<br /><br /><br />False color:<br /><br />Color range is limited, and often colors will appear incorrectly. <br />For example on one STN screen I own, green appears as purple.<br />Colors also fade in relation to the center of the screen on some models. <br />Colors that are bright at the edges of the screen may fade to black at the center.<br />Colors can also become dark on the edges and fade back toward the center.<br />(This can change depending on the manufacture and construction method)<br /><br /><br />Viewing angle:<br /><br />STN screens have a very limited viewing angle, often under +-15 degrees.<br />Even small changes in the angle can result in large visible differences.<br /><br /><br />TFT screens: <br />Active matrix:<br /><br />Each subpixel has its own transistor.<br />This makes for faster frame updates.<br /><br /><br />True color:<br /><br />Color range is capable of representing 16.7 million colors.<br />Provides an accurate representation of video source.<br /><br /><br />Viewing angle:<br /><br />TFT viewing angles are often in a range of +-30 to +-70 degrees sometimes more.<br /><br /><br />Learn about the phone you buy before you buy it and cry about the screen.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8934#review8934 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8934#review8934 Sat, 19 Mar 2005 14:01:53 GMT <p><i>door submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>Decent entry level phone, especially if you can find it for free.<br /><br />The major problem i have with the phone is the joystick. If you don't have strong nails, this phone is not for you. Secondly, although the phone somewhat small in size, it's shape makes it feel bulky in your pocket, so a holster (hard to find) is a must. Third, battery life is way to low for this size of a 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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8858#review8858 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8858#review8858 Tue, 15 Mar 2005 21:14:00 GMT <p><i>msutela submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>3.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>My V80's firmware has gone bezerk so I got this phone as a replacement cause it was only $100 with a $50 rebate. I like it alot mostly cause I know how to add Java games without paying for them or downloading them and I know how to add MP3 ringtones. The reception isn't the greatest, but the volume is good. The screen isn't the biggest or most colorful. Ringtones are loud enough to hear. It has a decent design but the back is a pain to get off. I recommend this phone if you are just looking for a cheap basic phone. Or if you need a cheap replacement cause your $300 phone can't receive incoming calls anymore.</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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8584#review8584 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8584#review8584 Sun, 27 Feb 2005 20:39:18 GMT <p><i>spanky619 submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>2</b> (out of 5)</p><p>the phone is ok its not the greatest phone but ok.<br /><br />PrOs : Speaker phone, ringtones, battery life, <br /><br />CoNs : The camera sucks its grainy, volume not loud enuff, not many holsters avalible, I had to purchase a leather holster from t-mobile for 30 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=487 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8441#review8441 http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/user_reviews.php?phone=487&r=8441#review8441 Sat, 19 Feb 2005 17:32:00 GMT <p><i>never say never submitted this review of the Motorola C650:</i></p><p>Overall rating: <b>4.5</b> (out of 5)</p><p>First, here's a little history.<br />I've had a cell since 2001, not long, but I've had 4 phones previous to this phone. All the phones were on Verizon, until I decided to leave because Verizon is awful, in my opinion. So I went to T-mobile, and had seen this phone for a while, but had never seriously considered it, until I bought it.<br />PROS-<br />1)Spreaker phone works AWESOME<br />2)Excellent reception (even on 1-2 bars)<br />3)Nice size (really small)<br />4)Nice layout of keys<br />5)Funky design<br />6)Loud ringers<br />7)Good variation of styles (wallpapers, sounds ect.)<br />8)Good camera for price<br /><br />CONS-<br />1)Wierd joystick (but you get used to it quickly)<br />2)Slow response time<br /><br />All in all, the phone works extremely well and is worth the price (which was free for me). The reviews that have such negative accounts do not take in the price, and intended use.
