F for Easy?
I just bought my second Motorola in six months. This time it is the Motofone F3
It looks "WOW" and would set you back by a mere 1600 rupees!!!
Yes, you guessed right, its a basic phone that does what phones were actually meant to do.
It takes some getting used to, but once you do, its a breeze to use. I also had an unfair advantage of being the first to lay my hands on it. So it managed to gather a small crowd wherever I went with it. Most believe I am lying about the price :) Rest are pestering the person who got it for me from UP where its currently available. I believe would be placing an order of a dozen F3s sometime soon...
I rate it a:
3.5 on 5 for usability
5 on 5 for looks
5 on 5 for value for money
5 on 5 for robustness (throw it, kick it, the F3 would come out unscathed - I threw it onto the floor couple of time to prove it to my audience. Note: we have wall to wall carpeting)
Verdict: Its a good second phone for people like me who can't carry a camera phone to work or when you don't wanna risk that pricey PDA getting drenched out in the wild!
Here are the specs.

Hey ~S~,
ReplyDeleteNice review.
I enjoyed the audio review too.
I am a motorola fan too.
ReplyDeleteMy tryst with the MOTO bug began with E-398. I still have not found a worthy replacement for the amount of versatility that it offerred. Currently I use a motorola c-168 (read my review on this - http://anandspeak.blogspot.com/2006/11/motorola-c-168-phone-review.html).
It is a basic phone with a very very good FM reception, which I use occassionally.
Pretty cool.
I would like to use the Moto-ming for a couple of days to check it out.
keep posting!
Cheers..
