  • its a very good phone in matters of simplicity i'm using it since 4 yrs

  • I so much enjoyed my moto c257 bcos it has web and other intresting stuffs, but how lovely would had been, if it has camera, usb cable and radio.

  • using this phone is kinda convenient..cheap but reliable..but i need to change my case!!!!rusty cphone..

  • this was the first mobile that I had bought, my word!smart phone,very good look, light, very user friendlly. But there are few thing that is missing, bluetooth, camera,& MP3 player, if these things are added, i believe that there is no mobile like it.

  • ummm... it would be better if it have the usb port in it.. i would like to install eBuddy in it..^ ^; now i have to download eBuddy by internet.. can anybody tell me how to use the internet from C257??

  • my opionion is very smart set

  • this is a humble phone, it doesn't boast elegance of a razor or the sophistication of a blackberry but it is good enough to be used. it has mobile internet and customizable ringtones and wall paper. the only things missin r the camera and blue tooth

  • I love this phone, my favourite thing about it is its clear bright display, it's cute, light and small, the only things that would make it better are a camera and bluetooth.

  • Hai Viewers I used this mobile for a month,its very nice to be use but the size of the mobile is not cute..........Rajah(+919994269327)

  • how sad this phone can only be have 1 line,i can use it only with SMART COMMUNICATIONS sim.

  • can anybody tell me is this mobile useful for internet access in " computer " , using gprs system ???????? plese reply ........

  • I got this phone in just Rs.2950

  • best mobile in its class

  • I recently bought Motorola C257. Iwas opting for another hand set, but somehow this model from Motorola caught my attention. And I really like it's design & features. It's perfect for me. Without thinking twice, I bought it. If you want a no fuss phone, This is for You.

  • i think this mobile is perfect .i've bought this mobile for 2 month and i love it .

  • i want to buy this mobile. but the rates in my town they are saying much higher to nearly 5000. pls anyone tell me the exact rates. tahnku

  • I am afraid that both c257 and c261 do not have mini usb port. The charger is good one like Razer but having pin. LCD qualilty is perfect.

  • C257 and C261 will be almost perfect for the middle range target if they haven't remove the mini usb port . Very un convienence to transfer picture and music file to the phone without mini usb port. C380 and C650 have mini usb even though they are the C series phone.
