 no juice August 17, 2008
Jack Nickleson
The original phone at full charge would run out of juice on "standby" in around 3 days. I replaced the battery with a newly purchased one and still the same. Don't know what part of this phone sucks the juice up like that.
And you would never want to turn off the phone to conserve battery, because when you actually want to use it you would have to wait 1-2 min just for it to turn on and "search for network."
Camera works decently, but there's no direct way to transfer the pictures to your computer except by email/mms.
The phone is only worth getting if it is free.
Nice phone. Horrible hit-n-miss reception. May 17, 2008

I waited over a year to get a different pre-paid phone; one with a camera feature.
[I had a nokia 1600 and it was a no frills phones, but it's reception was rather good, no matter where I took it. All across the USA, on trips and such.]
The C261 takes about 1-2 minutes to:
1. turn ON
2. come up
3. "Search-for-network"
4. locate network, then be ready for talking.
I understand it has a browser feature that my Nokia 1600 did not, but
it's painful to wait on this thing to power up and become available for talking.
I tried leaving the unit on, with powersaver functions all enabled.
A couple days later I went to use it and it started up; then powered down because it had run out of power.
I notice that I have a lot more areas that have weak signals, or NO SIGNALS (the same areas the Nokia 1600 found adequate signals for phone service within).
A very sorry phone.
 Prepaid the only way to go!! December 27, 2007

I bought this phone for my teenage son as a 2006 Christmas present and have no regrets. One of his friends has a monthly plan and exceeded his monthly hours and was charged $150. My co-worker's daughter exceeded her monthly hours and was charged $350. If you don't want an unexpected, unwanted additional phone overcharge go prepaid.
Overall, my son really likes his phone and it takes good pictures. He says the number 7 button sticks a little now but, the phone still works well.
