MobileBurn grabbed and previewed the MOTOFONE F3, Motorola's latest ultra-thin, ultra-low cost SCPL-based phone. The phone does only basic functions, hence the name. It has a monochromatic Electrophoretic “Clear Vision” that's supposed to be readable even in really harsh sunlight conditions, but it simply looks dated compared to even today's basic phones. The display seems to show only two lines of seven-segment-ish (it's not) text and numbers even though the size looks like it could accommodate more. The UI of the phone is extremely simple and icon-based, to be able to be used by "illiterate" customers. The phone is expected to sell at a cheap Rs 2000 or less, which gives the F3 major success potential, however, the lack of an FM radio and the arguably “cheap” looking display may make a difference in that market. SCPL is a new platform by Motorola that takes the design and style elements from the RAZR series and puts them into budget phones. These phones will have the Electrophoretic “Clear Vision” display, a higher level of audio for use in noisy areas, better network reception for rural areas and high battery life. |
