Design and Display
The design of the Motorola C261 reflects the simplicity and functionality characteristic of mid-2000s mobile phones. Measuring 109.9 x 49.9 x 14.9 mm and weighing just 91 grams, the phone is compact and lightweight, making it highly portable. Its plastic body is durable enough for everyday use.
The display is a modest TFT screen capable of showcasing 65K colors, with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. This was adequate for basic applications and viewing images, though it clearly falls short of modern high-definition displays. The ability to download wallpapers and screensavers allowed users a bit of personalization despite the limited screen quality.
