Very GOOD for what it is supposed to be used for,
By
This review is from: Motorola Motofone F3 Dual Band (Electronics)
thin, light weight, resistent. I only use cellphones to make and receive calls. I used to have a V3 but then the keypad stop working without any logical reasons. If you just need a cellphone that is the smartest option.

Amazing what $35 buys.,
By Danny Munley "I wanna be a better golfer" (Southern Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Motorola Motofone F3 Dual Band (Electronics)
My Razr V3 got washed. The iPhone requires a data plan that I don't want, so for $5 more than the monthly data fee, I went for function. It was the electronic paper display that brought it to my attention and heavily influenced my decision to buy. It provides significant contrast and readability in sunlight. On the "not so up"-side the character set is primitive and large. Texting and even scrolling thru the phonebook is like state-of-the-art 1985 calculator.
*I'd taken to putting my phone in the watch pocket of my jeans or the cargo pocket of my shorts- small size is important in that respect. F3 is 1/2" taller than a folded razr, thinner and not as wide. In all but the shallowest watch pocket it fits great, is easy to retrieve and isn't bulky. It will share a front pocket nicely with my wallet in khakis. It has nice heft without being a lump in the pocket. *I dropped my sim card and battery in, powered up, denied the voice walk-thru and the time and date set themselves (AT&T) *Phonebook on sim went to just one number per contact *Sound and reception just as good as the razr but the mic lacks the passive noise cancelling feature (probably to keep the phone sealed from dust and moisture) so background noises are transmitted a little too well. *No calendar or calculator, two features that I had become accustomed too.

Engineering Excellence At Its Best,
By
This review is from: Motorola Motofone F3 Dual Band (Electronics)
The Motofone is an incredibly simple little phone, and that simplicity is perhaps one of its greatest features. In this age of "smart" phones that will browse the web, do your taxes, serve as a navigational computer for the space shuttle, and build you a new house, its nice to have a sturdy, well-built phone without all of that extra fluff.
This phone has few real "features", mostly just the ability to make phone calls, speaker phone, basic text messaging, and extremely good battery life. Oh, and its ridiculously low cost as well. So if you're looking for a multimedia phone, this isn't for you. However, if you want a phone, and nothing more, I don't think there's a better choice... Despite this phone's low cost, its incredibly well built. Indeed, the best word to describe the build quality of this phone would be "solid". And that description doesn't just fit the exterior of the phone, the sound quality of the phone is fantastic and amazingly, the speaker phone is better then what I've got on my desk phone. It also has very good reception, picking up signals where other phones often can't, in my experience. The ringer is also quite loud and can easily be heard at its loudest setting, or, you can turn off the ringer and use a vibration signal, or just turn off all of the incoming call alerts. Oh, and the user adjustable alarm is also very loud. As for the user interface, it takes a little bit of getting used to, but once you do, its very efficient. And, interestingly enough, it gives you the option to use voice prompts for the menu. Not something I'd have expected to see in a phone as cheap as this. The only real problem comes in the text messaging ability of the phone. Due to the unique E-Ink display, messages display in a mixture of upper and lower case letters, and any message sent from this phone will show up on other phones as all lower case. Still, considering how the E-Ink display allows the Motofone to have such a long battery life, its a worthwhile sacrifice if you don't do too much text messaging. Overall, this is a great phone. I've had it for months now, and I'm still very pleased with it.
