i have had my c261 since jan. and i paid 49.99$ thow now it is only 39.99$ the design is great the buttons are put to close but still work able,the camera is low level vga but it takes great pictures in light or dark,the LCD tft 65,000color display is great it's bright and noticable,the structure is break-proof cause i've dropped it 50times on cement and still going great,the ringtones are a little bit cheesy i must say,the wallpapers are great but i put pics i took as wallpapers anyway,the signal is great anywhere i go,the games are so-so ok i guess,i have mine from tracfone you can download stuff but a little bit out of date,it has wap 2.0(BUT YOU CAN ONLY GO TO TRACFONE'S WEBSITE ANYTHING ELES IS NOT ALLOWED)you can't buy ringtones,wallpapers,and games anywhere but tracfone :-( but don't let me discourage you it is a great phone for the money(TRY FINDING A CAMERA PHONE ELESWHERE FOR THE PRICE)hope i helped you in your decision xoxo -bubby :-)

Pretty Good

This phone is pretty good. The picture quality is good, and I can talk for a long time. The only con is that the downloadable ringtones are all polyphonic and some are not very good.
