Probably part of Motorola’s “C” series, this new phone has some entertainment and productivity features. It has a nice keypad, too — at least, it’s the keypad that I like. Not so sure, what’s the function of two white point keys below the screen or above the browser and backspace keys.

Since it has 3G network capability, the phone has a front-camera, so its users can do video-conference.

Two mega pixel camera with recording capability is an interesting feature for the middle-end phone like this.

Specifications:

• GSM / GPRS / EDGE and 3G
• Bluetooth
• microSD support
• 2 mega pixel camera with video recording capability
• SMS / MMS / E-Mail Message
• Music player
• Built in web browser
• Java applications
• Organizer: Calendar, voice notes, SyncML, alarm clock, calculator, currency converter and values, stopwatch, dictaphone
• AGPS
