Motorola Motofone F3 priced low
Motorola Motofone F3 - low on features, big on convenience and price.
Motorola made its name with the RAZR - and almost lost with with their collaboration with Apple to incorporate iTunes into their phones. That is a very long story, and a sad one, for both Apple, Motorola and the buyers. Anyway, Motorola has learnt some lessons, and recently we had the launches of the MotoRIZR and Motofone. They aim for different markets - the RIZR targets the high end market which is interested in Motorola's distinctive style and cool factor, and the Motofone range focuses on the low end. Say, the rural markets of India.
Why so? The Motofone F3 costs $ 40 in USA. In India, that would translate to a price of Rs 2500 approximately. That is indeed a great price for a basic cellphone. Is it low enough? Yes, provided you are satisfied with that Motorola has provided you here.
The Motofone F3 has no camera. So forget your picture taking. It also doesn't have a color screen. So forget that too. The market which Motorola is targeting with the F3 doesn't care about cameras or color screens. It wants a basic phone which can make calls and send SMS, and that is what the F3 is all about.
What are the good things? It is still very thin - .35 inches, and it is stylish too. Even a villager can appreciate that. The screen has a very retro feel to it, and you have text and numbers that appear in high contrast. Anyone who is the owner of a RAZR knows how important that is. You can't get confused with this phone, its that simple. Large numbers, text, a good screen, no animations, and a very good price. A perfect phone for the bai? Yes, but she would cooler than you, holding the Motofone F3!
