Motorola C157
Motorola C157 Overview: The Motorola C157 is a 2005 model mobile phone which is compatible with European providers only. It operates on the frequencies of GSM 900, GSM 1800,

Motorola Company Overview: Motorola started as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation in 1928. The name Motorola was adopted in 1947, but the word had been used as a trademark since the 1930s. Founder Paul Galvin came up with the name Motorola when his company started manufacturing car radios. A number of early companies making phonographs, radios, and other audio equipment in the early 20th century used the suffix "-ola", the most famous being Victrola; there was also a company that made jukeboxes called Rockola, and a film editing device called a Moviola.

Audio Playback: The Motorola C157 does not come with an MP3 player. This phone comes with built in polyphonic ringtones, which means you can download simple MIDI files from the Internet and upload them through your phone, or simply download them via GRPS (if GRPS is built in). We do not recommend purchasing polyphonic ringtones from pay-per-use services such as television commercials, because the C157 is capable of receiving them as MIDI files which are common on the Internet.

Video and Picture Taking: The Motorola C157 is not equipped with a camera or a video recording function.

Messaging and Internet: The Motorola C157 is capable of surfing the Internet with the built in browser of the phone. With this phone, you may also send MMS, or Multimedia Message Service. The phone is also able to use EMS, or Enhanced Message Service. On top of sending messages, the Motorola C157 is equipped with intelligent t9 typing, which allows you to easily type text messages without pressing each key upto 4 times for the correct letter.

The Motorola C157 comes fully equipped with a WAP browser, and additionally an HTML browser for normal web page surfing.. including support for java.

Connectivity and Interactivity: With the C157, you can't really do much when connecting to other devices, since it's USB capabilities are limited to nill.
