Good Points: Basic Camera 3G Easy Texting Menus Easy To Use
Bad Points: Bad Battery Life Easily Broken Keypad
General comments: Good Points -
Camera is good quality.
3G
Easy Texting
East To Use Menu
Bad Points -
Heavy
Very Bad Battery Life
Signal sometimes Drops.
The Motorola C is a great phone if you haven't used 3G before. I bought this on the 3 Network. The features on it include.
Free MSN Messenger
Internet
Video Calling
Voice Calling
Texts
Crete Videos
Calculator
Calender
Alarm Clock
And many other features.
The phone lacks the useful Bluetooth and Inferred.
It has a very good Internet browser and a easy to use phone book. The texting facility is very easy to use.
The phone lacks the normal games you get on a phone but you can download them from 3 for a small price. Or if your a MSN messenger user you can download it and use it for free on PAYG until December.
The battery Life of the phone is very poor. After using the MSN application for 1 hour the phone battery was almost empty.
On the Menu of the phone you have
Games And Apps
3 services
Settings
Contact
Recent Calls
Multimedia
Connecting ( This Is 3 sync options)
Tools
And Messaging.
The phone has the normal ring styles you have on a phone. (silent vibrate, loud, vibrate and ring.) There are some great tunes already on the phone and some great images already on the phone.
On the phone there is a dedicated button for 3 Services and One for video calling. The phone is also good for watching the tv services you can buy from 3.
The phone clearly displays if its in 2G 2.5G or 3G Mode. It also a added bonus so you are aware what features you can use.
I have found the phone very easy to use as a second phone. It is very durable as i have dropped it a couple of times and the phone is still in perfect condition with no scarches.
In conclusion -
This is a great phone if you haven't used 3G before. Its not a good phone if you plan on going out without you charger for a long period of time. Its one of the many phones you can use PAYG Msn Messenger with. Gets a 4/5.

I needed a phone and the Motorola C975 was cheap. Has a free memory card adaptor, turns on and accepts my Contract SIM card but it looks awful, has a rubbish menu, no bluetooth, and a 32MB card. I only bought it because my insurance company was a rip off and wanted £100 to even start a claim!

I got the Motorola C975 mobile phone for £5, and it's the best phone ever! It has a brilliant camera and video quality. There is a lot of free stuff on 3 internet. The phone also has an MP3 player, and you get a 64Mb memory card with the phone.

The Motorola C975 is near enough the best mobile phone out. It's got everything all in one, such as a digital camera, video camera, personal music play and 3G for broadband like speeds. It's the best phone. Recommended! Get it!!

Although the Motorola C975 mobile phone is relatively chunky compared to other models, size is not an issue (particularly if you have been an owner of the Nokia 8800!). The phone does not feature Bluetooth or IRDA, but does however support TransFlash memory, which only works out at about £20 for a 512Mb memory card.
The joystick is a little clumsy, but you get used to it after about a day. On the '3' network, the handset enables you to manage up to five simultaneous calls, which support ...

I have now had my Motorola C975 mobile phone for 9 months, and I have found it to be excellent! Reception has never been a problem - only losing the 3G a handful of times, but still being able to make and receive calls.
It is a basic phone with an average camera and no bluetooth, but with 2 cameras and all you need to keep in touch with each other, I have no complaints to make.
I have read other reviews, and I cannot believe they are talking about the same phone. I am also on the 3 networ ...

Overall, the Motorola C975 is a good cheap mobile phone which can play MP3's, videos, and it is a 3G phone (I know the 3 network sucks, but just get it unlocked to any network)
I recommend this phone to people with a limited budget.

The Motorola C975 is a mobile phone for those who need more features for less money. It has a very good camera of 1.3 mega-pixels. The memory can also be expanded.

I bought the Motorola C975 brick of a mobile phone because the contract was cheap, offering 500 free minutes and 100 text messages per month. Boy, you get what you pay for. After 6 months I can't wait to get rid of it and I am going to buy a secondhand Nokia.

All phones I have used in the past had good points and bad ones. However the Motorola C975 mobile phone was a bad experience throughout. This may also be a combination of factors like 3G's technical experts telling me I am making it all up.
Anyway, I sent away for a software upgrade to 3G as it kept on crashing (2x), and I had no phone during that period. However, while crashing slowed down, it still occurs and keeps on doing things like not ringing at all.
Conclusion: Not to purchase a ...

The Motorola C975 mobile phone is absolute rubbish! I wouldn't recommend this phone, unless you are happy to charge it twice a day! It has nothing good apart from the camera. It has no infrared or bluetooth. It is also very bulky and heavy!

I was quite excited when I was getting the Motorola C975 as it had everything I wanted (eg camera etc) but when it arrived I was quite disappointed with its size and how heavy it was. It was the first time I had a Motorola and I have never had one since. I just stick to Samsung!

Personally, i'm pretty sick of people complaining about petty things with the Motorola C975. My brother and friend has it, and I'm getting it in 2 days. I understand the battery is dismal, but I cant stand people complaining about the fact that it doesnt come with games, bluetooth, etc, etc... to put it plain and simple for the phone fanatics: if you DO want a phone with bluetooth, great games, great ringtones, and all your other "special needs", then go ahead and pay a fortune for an expensive ...

I bought the Motorola C975 in February of this year it's now July and I have had nothing but trouble with it! When I first bought the phone for £64.99 from Woolies I was amazed by the camera (being used to the Nokia 3200 camera anyone would be.) But after about 3 days I found the phone big, chunky and heavy. In about the 2nd week of having the mobile, the screen got its first scratch (of many) and it was right down the centre of the screen which made it hard to take good pictures. I love p ...

I bought a C975 last week, and I am getting along fine with it. Recordings, 3G it all works very well. It was £65.00, with 3G, video calling, email, MMS card, it's fantastic. I have only had to charge it once. The cover I have to admit is a bit rubbish, but it is replaceable.
All in all I think it's the best phone I have had so far...

I have now dumped the Motorola C975 that I bought as a standby phone to use on the 3 network. (3 issues are well known and the price reflects the woeful relaibility and quality of the service). The phone was a pre-pay handset, less than £50 and it feels like it. The battery cover was cheap and loose and power did not manage to last a full day even when used sparingly. The signal did not hold well at all and 'call failed' was a message all too often displayed. Lack of Bluetooth makes the C9 ...
