Amazon.com Product Description
Combining Motorola's sleek design sensibility with intuitive and easy-to-learn functionality, the nicely affordable Motofone F3 slides easily into your pocket. Functional and fashionable, the Motofone F3 is designed to keep you in close communication with your friends, family, and business associates via voice and text messaging. It features dual-band GSM connectivity (850/1900 MHz), speakerphone, a clock with integrated alarm, and up to 500 minutes (over 8 hours) of talk time as well as up to 300 hours of standby (over 12 days). This unlocked cell phone does not come with a SIM card, and it requires that you provide a SIM card for usage with your selected service provider. 
The super-slim Motofone F3 features a unique electronic ink display with large, easily readable characters. | Phone Features
This candybar-style phone measures just 0.35 inches (9mm) thin, and it has a unique Motorola ClearVision display that helps to increase the battery life of the phone. The changeable electronic ink display (electrophoretic imaging film) is easy to read in bright sunlight or dimly lit environments from virtually any angle--just like paper. Additionally, the display is plastic, lightweight and ultra-low power, making it ideal for mobile and power sensitive applications by eliminating the weight and breakability of glass used in LCD displays. The text display contains only two lines of six characters each, and it shows a digital clock when there's no activity. Combined with a flush-fitting keypad and dust-resistant design, the Motofone F3 is especially durable in active everyday use. The Motofone F3 offers a redesigned user interface with voice prompts to guide the you quickly and easily through menu navigation, messaging, and other functions. In addition, graphical icons visually demonstrate the menu features as well as network status and battery strength. For pre-paid customers, the Motofone F3 automatically reports the status of your pre-paid account after each call or message. This phone allows you to store contacts only on the SIM card (for 250 entries), and it provides a view of the last 20 dialed/received/missed calls. The layout of the numeric keypad resembles Motorola's SLVR phones, and it includes a large navigation pad as well as send/end keys and two soft keys. Above the display are bars showing signal strength and battery life. Other features include: - High-volume for call clarity in loud environments
- Embedded polyphonic ringtones in eight voices
- Ability to download ringtones
- Silent vibration mode
- Speakerphone
Vital Statistics
The Motofone F3 weighs 2.4 ounces and measures 4.5 x 1.85 x 0.35 inches. Its 750 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 500 minutes of talk time, and up to 500 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

 NOT AS ADVERTISED: Locked to TIGO, interface in Spanish only, could not be reset or unlocked by Motorola or Amazon techs November 28, 2008
J. Ware (Seattle, WA United States)
I was very disappointed, and returned the product.
My F3 was delivered locked to TIGO, and set in the Spanish interface mode.
It was not unlocked, as claimed in the description.
I tried it with two different known good SIMs that worked in other Motorola phones, from ATT and GO.
Despite the best efforts of Amazon online cell phone people, Radio Shack cell techs, and online Motorola cell phone people, we could not figure out how to do a master reset, or to unlock it, or even to reset the interface language to English.
Totally a bad experience and a waste of time.

This isn't an unlocked phone. It costs money to unlock it. If I had known, I would't have bought it.
After I paid to unlock it I still wasn't satisfied. It couldn't import all the numbers from my old card correctly. I tried to type in my address book manually but that didn't work correctly either. The phone looks really nice. I wish it wasn't buggy and that it had been advertised correctly.
VERY BAD November 11, 2008

Very bad product. It was not unlocked and was in spanish. Only good thing was I got my money back from Amazon. This product needs to be taken off the website to save others money and hopes. I did buy a Nokia 6010 for about the same money and it has been awesome!

Hello,
Actually, I couldn't benefit from that device and I was not satisfied with your service. The device is locked where as it was written in the website that it is un-locked.
not worth it October 31, 2008

i bought this phone and return it right away. This phone is like the kids toy cellphone that you can find at the toy store or the dollar store.the materials that they use on this cell phone is cheap.of course what can you expect if the product is made in china? (hope theres no melamine or lead). Don't buy this item. For sure you gonna have buyer remorse.
