Motorola C290 Cell Phone for Sprint
 Best Price on the Internet! |
If you are tired of the pricey phones that we report day in and day out, but are looking for a decent entry-level (i.e. affordable) phone, Motorola and Sprint have the new Sprint PCS C290 phone just for you. The Motorola C290 is Sprint PCS Vision-enabled (in fact, a first from Moto).
Marking Motorola's renewed ties with Sprint, they expect to deliver more ultra-cool products to Sprint and its customers.
A flip phone, the Motorola C290 comes with a big color display compared to most other "affordable" phones. With basic communication facilities available, including voice, SMS messaging and support for Sprint PCS Vision services, it appears to be a neat little value-for-money package.
For those who came in late, Vision is Sprint's one-stop shop for downloading mobile content including ringtones, images, games and other applications directly from your mobile. The 65k color 1.1" x 1.38" LCD is certainly an advantage. Productivity features include voice memo recorder, calendar/scheduler, alarm, world clock and speakerphone.
The Motorola C290 comes with a soft-touch exterior body in an essentially compact design - it measures 1.91" x 3.43" x 0.93" and weighs just 3.5 ounces. Compatible with CDMA networks, a minimal WAP 2.0 browser is included allowing you to get online from the phone.
Out now for Sprint customers, the Motorola C290 costs US $179.99 or $29.99 after rebate (with service contract, of course). Get it from Sprint's website.
