Pros: Good Screen, Good keypad
Cons: Atrocious batterylife approx 30-40 hrs, poor ring volume,Vibrate is intermittent
Additional Comments: Downloading ringtones is impossible and the battery only lasts about 30-40 hrs. before it requires a recharge making it unreliable for extended travel over 2 days without charging capability. Most unreliable as an emergency contact device. Messages can be pushed to you but you can not reply in many areas. Will not have another for any reason. Frequently shows no service or emergency service only.

Pros: probably best tracfone beside c261, cool design, games, only 30.00, will last a while, long battery life, good signal overall
Cons: no internet, no extra games to buy, everyone with a brain knows that the shell made of nice plastic, no speakerphone or PTT, the screen is too low and small, underrated
Additional Comments: This is a nice phone for kids, or those who prefer prepaid, also, the screen is small, but if Motorola placed the screen in the exact middle of the phones flip cover, it would maybe look nicer. Overall, it's a nice phone and almost invincable to drops from your pocket.
