Flip Phone, clamshell or openface
An open face handset has nothing that protects the screen or buttons. “What you see is what you get”. (May or may not be featured on the Motorola c975) The clamshell “flip” open and close and do help to protect the internal workings of the cellular phone.

 

Antennas Fixed or retractable?
Since cellular phones are passive (not amplified) the antenna you choose makes little difference. A fixed antenna is solid on the top of the phone. The retractable can slide up and down. (May or may not be featured on the Motorola c975) The retractable antennas break off easily and are expensive to replace. We recommend the solid antennas whenever possible.

Battery talk time and standby time
Aside from your coverage and reception, battery life on a cell phone is critical. Digital cellular phones have vastly improved the performance of the phone market. A cellular in standby mode (you are not sending or receiving calls, it is just powered up or turned on) should last for two to three days. Talk time refers to the actual time spent on calls. Look for at least 4 to 6 hours of talk time. (May or may not be featured on the Motorola c975) There will be a day when you really appreciate extended talk time. You never know when that day will be!

Speaker phone
A speaker phone allows a group of people to listen to a conversation at the same time. (May or may not be featured on the Motorola c975) This can be very helpful for planning any event. The speaker phone is very popular for driving because both of your hands are free to operate your vehicle.

Bluetooth wireless

Voice activated dialing
When entering numbers into the cellular phone, the next category is voice activated dialing. When you enter a new phone number, the phone will prompt you by saying “name please” twice. The phone recognizes your voice and when you flip your cellular open, the phone will say “name please.” Simple commands including “home” or “office” work the best.
