Motorola yesterday announced the MOTOFONE, a new phone that aims to make style and advanced technology truly affordable. The MOTOFONE, Motorola’s thinnest phone yet (9mm), borrows key elements from Motorola’s distinctive handset range to make a device that’s stylish and affordable for everyone around the world.
The MOTOFONE offers an intuitive, new interface built on icons and voice versus text. By using images, the device makes it simpler and friendlier for first-time users to navigate, place a call, and retrieve messages. Its large, high contrast screen, powered by our revolutionary ClearVision display, helps eliminate glare from direct sunlight, thus making it easier to use the phone outdoors..
Featuring the new ClearVision display, MOTOFONE leverages revolutionary Electrophoretic Display (EPD) technology to provide users with a large, high-contrast screen that is viewable even in bright sunlight. The ClearVision display combined with a flush-fitting keypad and dust-resistant design makes the MOTOFONE sleek yet durable in active everyday use.
The MOTOFONE also includes popular features, such as polyphonic ringtones, speakerphone and long-lasting battery life. Having a phone conversation in a busy street? No problem, the device has extra loud volume to help ensure you can hear the person you’re talking to.
The MOTOFONE is expected to be available during the second half of 2006 in both GSM and CDMA models.
